SUMMARY:Giuliana Perrone Speaks on Reconstruction-Era Courts and Legacies of Slavery
DESCRIPTION:Giuliana Perrone\, new Assistant Professor in the History Department\, will give a talk at the IHC on the role the courts played in (re)constructing the lives of black families. Perrone will discuss the problems and possibilities Reconstruction-era courts presented to former slaves and the legal system in “Slaves into Citizens: Legitimizing Black Domestic Relationships in Reconstruction-Era State Courts” This talk is one of a series of lectures put together by the IHC’s Research Focus Group (RFG) on Slavery\, Captivity\, and the Meaning of Freedom. Perrone’s larger current project\,”Litigating Emancipation: Slavery’s Legal Afterlife\, 1865-1877\,” explores the ways that slavery and the court system remained relevant after emancipation and how concepts of race shaped legal and political identities over time. \n

SUMMARY:Five Centuries of Mortality: The Second Plague Pandemic in Comparative Perspective\, Egypt\, 1347 - 1844 CE  Stuart Borsch (Assumption College)
DESCRIPTION:This talk will analyze the impact of the Second plague pandemic in Egypt (1347-1844 CE). The Second plague pandemic refers to the long series of epidemics that struck the Middle East and Europe\, starting with the Black Death\, 1347-1351 CE. This pandemic generally lasted until the early 1700s in Europe\, but longer in the Middle East. Why was this? Professor Borsch explores this question and the possible connection to the economic and technological divergence between Europe and the Middle East between the 1300s and 1800s. Borsch also takes a comparative perspective\, looking at the dynamics of this long-term catastrophe by studying the mortality of the urban (Cairo\, Alexandria\, Qus\, Asyut) and rural plague outbreaks in the Mamluk and Ottoman periods and into the modern period\, 1347-1844. His talk will include some comparative perspectives with Syrian population losses. \nCo-sponsored by the King Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud Chair in Islamic Studies and the Center for Middle East Studies

SUMMARY:Digital History Workshop: Mapping Spartacus: The Topography of Servitude and Rebellion --
DESCRIPTION:Spartacus is a historical figure that has captured the imagination of millions since he escaped from that gladiatorial school in Capua over two millennia ago. This workshop looks at the historical sources for the Third Servile War (73-71 BCE) and then introduces basic digital approaches to mapping the movement of Spartacus and his supporters through the Italic peninsula\, based on these surviving texts and using geodata from the Pleiades Project. No knowledge of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is required for this workshop\, just an interest in Roman history\, the geography of rebellion\, and the use of texts to reconstruct the topography of social history. Led by Sarah Bond\, professor of History and Classics at the University of Iowa\, and regular blogger for Forbes Magazine on connections between the ancient and modern worlds\, this is another of our events to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the founding of Public History at UCSB. \nPlease RSVP to Professor James Brooks.

SUMMARY:Monumental Mausolea: Building Projects and Slave Labor from Antiquity to the World Cup
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Bond\, Assistant Professor of Classics at the University of Iowa\, will examine the use of slave labor in monumental building through a broad historical lens. The use of contracted and slave labor for large building projects has roots going back to antiquity. The Pyramids at Giza\, the Baths of Caracalla\, the Great Wall of China\, and\, now\, the sports arenas being erected for the Qatar World Cup in 2022 have all relied upon thousands of workers in order to build these monumental structures. Despite the hands of thousands contributing to the creation of these landmark buildings\, the lives of the contracted workers\, slaves\, and freed-persons who labored and often died while working on them have been largely invisible. This lecture examines the politics of celebrating a building such as the Colosseum or the White House while disregarding the contributions and sacrifices of the slaves that made these works possible. It also asks: what new landscapes of memory\, commemoration\, and public appreciation can be created when we notify the public of the extensive input of slaves? \nSponsored by the IHC’s Slavery\, Captivity\, and the Meaning of Freedom RFG\,  the Dept. of Classics\, the Public History Program\,  and the IHC’s Ancient Borderlands RFG. \n

SUMMARY:"China and the 2008 Riots in Tibet: What Happened\, and How Do We Know?" with Prof. Zheng
DESCRIPTION:UCSB’s Professor Xiaowei Zheng (November 20 at 4:30PM at the Goleta Public Library) will discuss the difficulties in assessing the 2008 riots in Tibet. The rioting that began on March 14 in the Tibetan capital\, Lhasa\, spread quickly to other Tibetan cities. In Lhasa\, rioters targeted Han Chinese merchants who suffered injuries\, casualties\, and massive property damage. In the crackdown that followed\, the authorities arrested over a thousand Tibetans. Controversy quickly emerged over allegations that there had been serious inaccuracies and biases in reports about the coverage of the riots in the international media. Zheng will analyze the coverage\, drawing upon video images and press accounts. The media stories shaped people’s understanding of the events\, demonstrating how challenging it can be even to know the very recent past. \n
