SUMMARY:Healing in Rwanda: Dealing with Legacies of the 1994 Genocide\, presentation by Emmanuel Habimana
DESCRIPTION:What would it take you to forgive the murder of your family? What would you do if you had to choose between your life and those of 400 children? How would you redefine family if you were the only survivor in yours? And how would you react when the people who tried to exterminate your people were released from prison and returned to your community? These are some of the questions Emmanuel Habimana addresses in his documentary film Komora: To Heal. \nEmmanuel Habimana is a filmmaker\, public speaker and educational activist from Kigali\, Rwanda. After surviving the 1994 Rwanda genocide\, he became a youth organizer in Kigali\, where he assisted fellow orphans of the genocide. He was trained in the National Unity and Reconciliation Commission\, and is currently studying film production in Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Grad Melissa Barthelemy Wins Mentorship Award
DESCRIPTION:Graduate Division names six winners for 2017 mentoring awards\nBy Shawn Warner-Garcia\, Assistant Director of Professional Development\nFriday\, July 14\, 2017 10:07 AM View original article\n\n\nThe Graduate Division is pleased to announce the ​winners for two awards ​honoring graduate students who have distinguished themselves in the area of undergraduate research supervision. The Fiona and Michael Goodchild Graduate Mentoring Award is available to students in the College of Engineering; Mathematical\, Life\, and Physical Sciences Division of the College of Letters and Science; and the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management. The Dean’s Graduate Mentoring Award is available to students in the Humanities and Fine Arts and Social Sciences Divisions of the College of Letters and Science and the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education. \nThe winners of the 2017 Dean’s Graduate Mentoring Awards are: \n\nAubrie Adams (Communication)\, nominated by Prof. Norah Dunbar\nMelissa Barthelemy (History)\, nominated by Prof. Randy Bergstrom\nBaron Haber (English)\, nominated by Prof. Christopher Newfield\n\nThese students are recognized for their excellence in and contributions to undergraduate research supervision and for encouraging others to become involved in these research efforts. Each of the winning students receives a $1000 award. \n\nMELISSA BARTHELEMY​ // History\nResearch Interests\nMy dissertation looks at the ways that politics and memory have been mobilized in the wake of mass violence\, such as school shootings. Much of my research looks at the Isla Vista Tragedy of May 23\, 2014\, when six UCSB students were killed and another 14 individuals were injured. I am also working at a national level to help develop a better system of support for archivists and historians who end up managing condolence projects when their community suffers a public tragedy. \nMentoring Experiences\nIn the wake of the May 23\, 2014 tragedy\, I mentored a team of students through the process of collecting\, archiving\, and curating a memorial archive. This project would not have been possible without these students! Several interns have continued to stay involved in the project even after graduating\, and I’ve been able to help them in references for competitive graduate programs and job positions. It is great to see their hard work pay off. The most challenging aspect has been the intensely emotional nature of the work we’ve done together\, but that’s also what has made it so valuable and meaningful. For me\, a true mentorship relationship should involve reciprocity\, openness\, and trust. \nWhat the Award Means to ​Her\nMentoring by graduate students is a crucial responsibility that frequently goes unrecognized as it often occurs during the spaces of office hours\, responses to emails late at night\, writing letters of recommendations for past students\, giving advice on grad school and career prospects\, and helping refer students to support services. I have benefited from fantastic mentors in my life who have done many of these things for me\, and it is deeply meaningful to be acknowledged for my role in doing the same for others. I applaud the Graduate Division for recognizing the value of mentorship in fostering deeper relationships and building a healthier community\, which contributes to the success of our students.

SUMMARY:"En la frontera de los pijaos": the making of an Andean borderland (Santiago Muñoz\, Universidad de los Andes)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the first meeting of the new Colloquium on Latin American and Caribbean History as we welcome Santiago Muñoz Arbeláez\, who will deliver a talk entitled “‘En la frontera de los pijaos’: the making of an Andean borderland in northern South America”. \nThe talk will be held in HSSB 4020 at 5 pm on Wednesday\, October 4th\, and will be followed by a small reception. \nAbstract: In the 1550s a coalition of native groups took arms against the Spanish empire in northern South America. The Pijao\, as the imperial officials called the rebels\, burnt cities\, looted royal paths\, and took captives. The officials of the empire classified the Pijao as caribes\, accused them of cannibalism\, and invoked theological arguments to justify their enslavement. From then on\, interaction between the empire and the Pijaos was marked by violence\, captivity\, and slavery. By 1610\, the president of the court of Santafé estimated that the Pijaos had destroyed fourteen cities and killed and eaten more than one hundred thousand indigenous allies. While the existing studies have depicted the Pijaos as pre-Hispanic warriors who survived due to their extreme cruelty\, the Pijao frontier formed and grew in tandem with the empire. Far from being a static group that preceded the Spanish\, the Pijao frontier was a novel political creation that grew as a reaction to Spanish conquest and its dynamics were intimately linked with those of the Spanish empire. This talk explores the birth\, growth\, and decline of an indigenous political project that emerged two decades after the conquest and expanded over the slopes of the northern Andes. \nAbout the Speaker: Santiago Muñoz Arbeláez is Assistant Professor of History at the Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá\, Colombia.

SUMMARY:Diocletian's Palace: Design and Construction
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Goran Nikšić is the City Archaeologist and Architect for City of Split in Croatia (Service for the Old City Core)\, and the Senior Lecturer on architectural conservation at the University of Split.  He holds his degrees from the University of Zagreb (Ph.D.)\, the University of York\, and the University of Belgrade.  His areas of specialization are architectural conservation and the history of architecture\, particularly Roman\, Medieval\, and Renaissance architecture.  From 2004 on he has served as an expert for ICOMOS (International Council on Monuments and Sites).  Dr. Nikšić is an AIA Norton Lecturer for 2017-2018. \nAbstract: Although Diocletian’s Palace in Split has been a topic of scientific interest for a long time\, there has been no full consensus about some of its basic elements\, from the typological definition to the original purpose of the building\, from the original appearance of the whole down to the reliable reconstruction of the architectural parts. Traditionally\, Diocletian’s Palace has been described as a unique combination of an imperial villa and a typical Roman military camp. Recent research has established the probable original purpose of the complex in Split as the imperial manufacture of textiles. It was later\, most likely already during the construction\, adapted for the residence of the retired Emperor. Detailed architectural analysis shows that the mistakes in the design and execution\, and the unfinished decoration can be explained by the change of architectural concept which occurred probably during the first phase of construction\, and by the very short deadline given to the builders by the Emperor who probably retired to his palace in Split earlier than originally planned. Finally\, a new interpretation is given of this complex building\, in terms of design and construction process.

SUMMARY:The Russian Revolution and the Trump Revolution by Prof. Toshi Hasegawa
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Sunday October 22 2017 to hear a talk by Prof. Toshi Hasegawa. The event will be at the Karpeles Manuscript Library\, 21 West Anapamu Street\, Santa Barbara. \n \nIn 1917\, the February Revolution overthrew the monarchy of Tsar Nicholas II in Russia and un-wittingly opened the door to Lenin and his allies who seized power in October. On Oct. 22\, 2017\, Professor Emeritus Tsuyoshi Hasegawa will speak about what the Russian Revolution can tell us about our situation now. He taught at UCSB from 1990 until his retirement in 2016\, and he is one of the leading historians of Soviet Russia in the world. His new book (cover above left) was published by the Harvard University Press this year\, and a second\, much expanded and revised edition of his book on The February Revolution\, Petrograd\, 1917 (1981) appears this month from Brill Publishers. Historian Robert H. McNeal (U. Mass\, Amherst)\, reviewing the first edition in the American Historical Review\, called it “the best work in any language on its subject and essential reading for any serious student of the Russian Revolution.” Hasegawa’s Racing the Enemy: Stalin\, Truman\, and the Surrender of Japan (Harvard UP\, 2005) won the 2005 Robert Ferrell Award from the Society for the Historians of American Foreign Relations as well as other major prizes in Japan and the U.S. Able to use sources in Japanese and Russian as well as English\, Hasegawa demonstrated that the decisive factor in the decision of the Japanese to surrender was not the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Rather\, the Soviet declaration of war against Japan raised the specter of a Russian conquest of Japan. The Japanese feared the Russian bear more than the American eagle. \nThis free event is co-sponsored by UCSB’s Center for Cold War Studies.

SUMMARY:Slaves\, Silver\, and Atlantic Empires (Alex Borucki\, UC Irvine)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the next meeting of the new Colloquium on Latin American and Caribbean History as we welcome Alex Borucki\, who will deliver a talk entitled “Slaves\, Silver\, and Atlantic Empires: The Slave Trade to Spanish South America\, 1700-1810”. \nThe talk will be held in HSSB 4020 at 5 pm on Wednesday\, November 1st\, and will be followed by a small reception. \nProf. Borucki has pre-circulated a paper. Please e-mail jcobo@history.ucsb.edu to obtain a copy. \nAbstract: This presentation examines the slave voyage conducted by the ship Ascension (1795-1797) connecting Rhode Island\, Mozambique\, and the Río de la Plata (The River of Silver\, today’s Argentina and Uruguay)\, as a window into the eighteenth-century slave trade to Spanish South America. In this era\, the slave trade became the key to accessing Spanish American consumers and silver for foreign traders. As a result\, Spanish American silver entered English\, Dutch\, and Portuguese commercial circuits beneficial to metropolitan merchants and public revenues. The story of the Ascension’s captives goes beyond Anglo-American conceptions of the Middle Passage born out of the triangular trade\, as the yearlong ordeal of these Africans involved Indian Ocean embarkation\, Atlantic crossing to Montevideo\, a journey on oxen-carts throughout the Pampas and on mule-trains across the Andes into Chile\, and their final reshipment in the Pacific to Lima. \nAbout the Speaker: Alex Borucki is Associate Professor of History at UC Irvine.

SUMMARY:The Chinese Typewriter: A History (Tom Mullaney\, Stanford)
DESCRIPTION:7 November at 4PM in the McCune Room (6th floor\, HSSB) \n \nAbstract: Chinese writing is character-based\, the one major world script that is neither alphabetic nor syllabic. Over the past two centuries\, Chinese script has encountered presumed alphabetic universalism at every turn\, whether in the form of Morse Code\, Braille\, stenography\, Linotype\, punch cards\, word processing\, or other systems developed with the Latin alphabet in mind. Today\, however\, after more than a century of resistance against the alphabetic\, not only have Chinese characters prevailed\, they form the linguistic substrate of the vibrant world of Chinese information technology. In this talk\, Stanford historian Tom Mullaney shows how this unlikely transformation happened\, by charting out a fascinating series of experiments\, prototypes\, failures\, and successes in the century-long struggle between Chinese characters and the QWERTY keyboard.   \nAbout the Speaker: Thomas S. Mullaney is Associate Professor of Chinese History at Stanford University\, and Curator of the international exhibition\, Radical Machines: Chinese in the Information Age. His talk comes from his 2017 book The Chinese Typewriter\,  (The MIT Press).  \n[This talk is sponsored jointly by the History Department\, the East Asia Center\, and the Machines\, People\, and Politics RFG]

SUMMARY:James Delbourgo (Rutgers) on the Origins of the British Museum
DESCRIPTION:Collecting the World: Hans Sloane and the Origins of the British Museum \nIn 1759\, London’s British Museum opened its doors for the first time–the first free national public museum in the world. But how did it come into being? This talk recounts the overlooked yet colorful life of the museum’s founder: Sir Hans Sloane. Born in 1660\, Sloane amassed a fortune as a London society physician\, became president of the Royal Society and Royal College of Physicians\, and assembled an encyclopedic collection of specimens and objects–the most famous cabinet of curiosities of its time–which became the foundation of the British Museum. Slavery and empire played crucial roles in his career. Sloane worked in Jamaica as a plantation doctor and made collections throughout the island with help from planters and slaves. On his return to London\, he established a network of agents to supply him with objects of all kinds from Asia\, the Americas\, and beyond: plants and animals\, books and manuscripts\, a shoe made of human skin\, the head of an Arctic walrus\, slaves’ banjos\, magical amulets\, Buddhist shrines\, copies of the Qur’an\, and more. The little-known life of one of the Enlightenment’s most controversial luminaries provides a new story about the beginnings of public museums through their origins in encyclopedic universalism\, imperialism\, and slavery. \nThe lecture is based on James Delbourgo’s new biography of Sloane entitled Collecting the World\, published by Penguin in the UK and Belknap Press in the US\, which has been named Book of the Week in The Guardian\, The Times (London)\, the Daily Mail\, and The Week (UK). \n[this event is co-sponsored by the History Department and the UCSB Library]

SUMMARY:Cold War Curvature: Measuring and Modeling Gravity in Postwar American Physics (David Kaiser\, MIT)
DESCRIPTION:A popular image persists of Albert Einstein as a loner\, someone who avoided the hustle and bustle of everyday life in favor of quiet contemplation. Yet Einstein was deeply engaged with politics throughout his life; indeed\, he was so active politically that the FBI kept him under surveillance for decades. His most enduring scientific legacy\, the general theory of relativity – physicists’ reigning explanation of gravity and the basis for nearly all our thinking about the cosmos – has likewise been cast as an austere temple standing aloof from the all-too-human dramas of political history. But was it so? By focusing on examples of research on general relativity from the 1950s and 1960s\, this lecture will examine some of the ways in which research on Einstein’s theory was embedded in\, and at times engulfed by\, the tumult of world politics. \n \nDavid Kaiser is Germeshausen Professor of the History of Science and Professor of Physics at MIT. His books include Drawing Theories Apart: The Dispersion of Feynman Diagrams in Postwar Physics (2005)\, which received the Pfizer Prize from the History of Science Society for best book in the field; and How the Hippies Saved Physics: Science\, Counterculture\, and the Quantum Revival (2011)\, which was named “Book of the Year” by Physics World magazine. He is currently writing two books about gravity: a physics textbook with his colleague Alan Guth on gravitation and cosmology\, and a history of research. \nSponsored by the Department of History and the IHC’s Machines\, People\, and Politics RFG. \nA link to the flyer is here…

SUMMARY:Life and Death at Ancient Eleon: Excavations in Central Greece\, 2011-2017
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Brendan Burke\, Associate Professor and Department Chair of Greek and Roman Studies at the University of Victoria\, Canada. \nExcavations at ancient Eleon\, located 15 km east of Thebes in central Greece\, have revealed a center of vibrant activity throughout the Late Bronze Age\, starting with a burial complex of the Late Helladic I period (ca. 1600 BCE) and continuing to significant settlement remains of the Late Helladic IIIC period (ca. 1100 BCE). Work has also revealed intriguing evidence for the site’s re-use in historical periods\, when the construction of a massive polygonal wall redefined the site’s topography and function during the late Archaic period (ca. 500 BCE). \nThis is the annual Sandra L. Church Lecture in memory of Albert H. Clayburgh\, sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America and the UCSB Department of Classics. \nFor assistance in accommodating a disability\, please contact Anna Roberts in the UCSB Classics Department.

SUMMARY:Slave Revolt on Screen: The Haitian Revolution in Film and Video Games
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join us for the third meeting of the Colloquium for Latin American and Caribbean History as we welcome Alyssa Goldstein Sepinwall from the California State University\, San Marcos who will be presenting a paper entitled “‘Slave Revolts on Screen: The Haitian Revolution in Film and Videogames”. \nThe lecture considers existing films and video games on the Haitian Revolution in light of anthropologist Michel-Rolph Trouillot’s arguments about the “unthinkability” of this event. It will compare existing cinematic representations of the Revolution to current historiography on the Revolution\, as well as to recent video games which touch upon slave revolt in colonial Saint-Domingue. Is it possible that despite conventional wisdom about video games representing the past simplistically\, that such games could offer a better depiction than existing films\, let alone many textbooks?  In examining video games as well as films\, the paper will consider larger issues about the representation of slavery and of slave revolt in twenty-first century popular culture. \nAlyssa Goldstein Sepinwall is professor of history at California State University San Marcos. Prof. Sepinwall’s research focuses on the late 18th and early 19th centuries\, particularly in France and Haiti.  Her scholarship centers on the origins of modern thinking about difference\, whether religious\, racial\, linguistic or gender. She published The Abbé Grégoire and the French Revolution: The Making of Modern Universalism (University of California Press\, 2005)\, Haitian History: New Perspectives (Routledge\, 2012) and many articles and book chapters. \nThe event is cosponsored by the Department of History\, the Center for Black Studies\, the Colloquium for Caribbean and Latin American History\, and the Slavery\, Captivity\, and the Meaning of Freedom RFG Interdisciplinary Humanities Center. \nDownload the flyer here

SUMMARY:Professor Tracy Adams\, University of Auckland\, New Zealand\, "The French Political Royal Mistress and Gallic Singularity"
DESCRIPTION:We are so used to the idea of the royal mistress as a constituent element of the French king’s grandeur that we tend not to think about how strange it is that in Ancien Régime France nine women who were not part of the royal family exercised significant political influence. \nAdams suggests that the key moment in the emergence of influential royal mistresses comes when the royal family\, traditionally assimilated with the Holy Family\, began to be assimilated with the more fluidly composed family of classical deities. Focusing on the period between Agnès Sorel (1422-1450)\, whose representation as the Virgin Mary can only be described as a “one-off” and the Duchess of Etampes (1508-1580)\, who performed her role with François I in the “theater” of Fontainebleau where massive frescoes drawn from classical mythology provided a gloss for her career\, Adams draws attention to the convergence of theatrical reading practices and renewed interest in the chaste but fierce huntress Diana that made the role of politically influential royal mistress thinkable.Tracy Adams
