SUMMARY:Robin and Robert Jones present "Refugees on the Greek Island of Lesbos"
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, April 14th at 2pm in HSSB 6020\, Robin and Robert Jones will speak about their experiences working with refugees landing on the Greek island of Lesbos. \nTheir presentation is co-sponsored by the History Department\, the Center for Middle East Studies\, and the Argyropoulos Hellenic Studies Endowment. \nRobin and Robert Jones live part of their year on the Greek island of Lesbos\, which is a major landing area for desperate refugees from war-torn Syria\, Afghanistan\, and Iraq. The refugees arrive in rubber rafts\, crossing the strait from Turkey\, under harrowing conditions; many die en route. \nRobin (center) greets a family waiting at a transit station. Women and children composed 50 percent of all refugees who fled to Europe by sea in 2015.\nThe Jones’ have put together a photographic exhibit of the refugees – their arrival and living conditions – and the children’s drawings\, along with a PowerPoint presentation documenting this world event. They were intimately involved in providing assistance and support and now they want to tell the refugees’ stories. \nIt is a story that needs to be told\, and puts a very human face on what otherwise is\, for most people\, a five minute clip on the news. It also provides an important counterpoint to the “immigrant as terrorist” narrative that dominates the news these days. \n  \nYou can read more about Robin and Robert in the Independent: http://www.independent.com/news/2016/mar/10/horror-and-hope-lesbos/

SUMMARY:"The Journey: Domestic Violence Legislation in Ghana" by Prof. Akosua Adomako Ampofo
DESCRIPTION:Daily\, all over the world\, women and children (especially) are abused by intimate partners and family members\, friends and colleagues. While a legal infrastructure and legal responses will not end gender-based violence (GBV) and domestic violence (DV)\, they can provide reliefs for survivors of violence. They can serve as spaces from which GBV and DV can be discussed and explained\, as well where advocacy can occur. This talk chronicles the journey traveled by women’s rights advocates for the passage of DV legislation in Ghana. The advocates faced considerable resistance but also built strong alliances and learned about effective methods of strategizing among different constituencies helpful in other areas of struggle. They learned more about “deconstructing” notions of GBV. The lessons learned in Ghana suggest strategies for mobilizing and advocacy that are useful for women and men globally\, including the United States. \nProfessor Akosua Adomako Ampofo\, Director of the Institute of African Studies\, University of Ghana\, Legon\, is a sociologist who has published widely on gender (including masculinities)\, sexuality\, children and socialization\, and feminism. She was the first head of the Centre for Gender Studies and Advocacy at the University of Ghana. \nOrganized by the IHC’s African Studies RFG\, with co-sponsorship from the Hull Chair in Feminist Studies and the Department of History. \n\nDownload event flyer\nSee more events sponsored by the IHC’s African Studies RFG

SUMMARY:The Just Prince and the Nation: Muslim Patriotism and the Politics of Notables in late Ottoman Egypt\, 1860s - Adam Mestyan (Harvard University)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Adam Mestyan (Harvard University) \nAbout the Talk:\nIn this presentation Mestyan will argue that in nineteenth-century Ottoman Egypt the symbolic unification between the Ottoman governor (khedive) and the homeland was based on vocabularies of kingship in the Koran and in Arab-Persian-Ottoman traditions. During this process of constructing patriotism by rural men of distinction\, the perceived ‘justice’ of the Muslim prince meant the local elite’s participation in state affairs and in rural capitalist enterprises. \nBased on archival documents\, petitions to the ruler by local village notables\, and Arabic political poetry and plays\, this presentation also introduces the notion of Muslim patriotism as an ideological tool of legitimating power in khedivial Egypt before and during the British occupation.” \n\nAbout the Presenter:\nAdam Mestyan is a historian of the modern Middle East\, specialized in cultural and social history. He has been undertaking research in various archives\, especially in the Egyptian National Archives. At the moment\, he is a Junior Fellow of the Society of Fellows at Harvard University. Previously\, he taught at the Faculty of Oriental Studies at Oxford University and was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the “Europe in the Middle East – the Middle East in Europe” program of the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin (Institute of Advanced Studies). He holds a PhD in History from the Central European University and another PhD in Art Theory from the Eotvos Lorand University (both in Budapest). His articles were published in the International Journal of Middle East Studies\, the Journal of Semitic Philology\, Die Welt des Islams\, and Muqarnas. His first book\, Arab Patriotism – The Ideology and Culture of Power in Modern Egypt is forthcoming at Princeton University Press. \nSponsored by the Center for Middle East Studies

SUMMARY:"Survivors into Minorities: Armenians in Post-Genocide Turkey" with Lerna Ekmekcioglu (MIT)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:\nLerna Ekmekcioglu is McMillan-Stewart Associate Professor of History at Massachusetts Institute of Technology where she is also affiliated with Women and Gender Studies Program. She specializes on Turkish and Armenian lands in the beginning of the 20th century and the history of Armenian feminism. In 2006 she co-edited a volume in Turkish about the first five Armenian feminists of the Ottoman Empire and Turkish Republic. Her most recent book\, Recovering Armenia: The Limits of Belonging in Post-Genocide Turkey\, came out from Stanford University Press in early 2016. \nAbout the Talk\nThis talk follows the trajectories of the survivors of the 1915 Armenian Genocide who remained inside Turkish borders after the signing of the 1918 Mudros Armistice (and during the Allied occupation years of Istanbul) and after the 1923 establishment of the new country as the Turkish Republic. How did the Kemalist state treat the remaining Armenians? What were Armenians’ responses to the new (but also old) Turkish regime? I will discuss multiple strategies Armenians –including feminist Armenians– improvised in order to cohabit with unapologetic perpetrators and survive the new Turkey.

SUMMARY:Farina Mir: "Reconsidering Modernity in an Indian Vernacular: Punjabi Literature and the Writing of Colonial History"
DESCRIPTION:FARINA MIR\nUniversity of Michigan\, Associate Professor of History \nKAPANY ENDOWMENT VISITING LECTURE SERIES \nAbout the Talk\nThis talk considers the literary history of one Indian vernacular tradition\, Punjabi\, to interrogate assumptions about the temporality of literary history embedded in today’s normative mode of writing the history of literature\, assumptions critically linked to notions of modernity. Identifying at least two types of temporality in existing literary history\, an even temporality\, on the one hand\, and one that emphasizes rupture\, on the other it argues for the adoption of a third mode: “lumpy time”\, a concept drawn from the work of sociologist William Sewell. The broader aim of the talk is to show how assessments of modernity in literary history mirror a broader tension in South Asian historiography between indigenous agency and colonialism. \nDownload event flyer

SUMMARY:“The Visual Archive: Ho-Chunk Cultural Performance\, Modern Labor\, and Survivance in Wisconsin\, 1879-1960.”
DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores the intersections of photographic images\, family history\, tourism\, and Ho-Chunk survivance through an examination of two photographic collections housed at the Wisconsin Historical Society: the Charles Van Schaick Collection and the H.H. Bennett Collection. The Van Schaick collection includes nearly taken between 1879-1936\, and the H.H. Bennett Collection is comprised of hundreds of images of tribal members taken from 1865-1960. Also contained within the Bennett Collection are film reels of the Stand Rock Indian Ceremonial\, a major tourist attraction that employed tribal members in Wisconsin Dells\, WI from the 1920s through the 1960s. The stories that these images convey of the importance of kinship\, place\, modern labor\, cultural performance\, settler colonialism\, and survivance are the central themes of the Ho-Chunk experience in the 20th century\, and my presentation will address these intersecting themes and the ongoing meanings that these images have for contemporary tribal citizens. \nAmy Lonetree\, a member of The Public Historian editorial board\, is author of Decolonizing Museums: Representing Native America in National and Tribal Museums (University of North Carolina Press\, 2012)\, and co-editor with Amanda Cobb of The National Museum of the American Indian: Critical Conversations (University of Nebraska Press\, 2008). \nSponsored by the UCSB Public History Program\, the Department of Anthropology\, and the Department of History. \nLonetree Poster for the event flyer.
