SUMMARY:Mystery Children: The Stasova International Children’s Home During Stalin’s Purge
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on her current book project\, Communist Neverland: History of an International Children’s Home\, 1933–2013\, Elizabeth McGuire tells the story of the Stasova International Children’s Home\, an elite orphanage and boarding school for the children of Communist Party leaders from all parts of the globe. Professor McGuire will focus in this talk on “Jimmy Ruegg\,” one of the Stasova home’s many “mystery children.” Jimmy spent his earliest years in the International Settlement in Shanghai\, believed he was German\, and thought he had two families: one enmeshed in German-Chinese trade and the other in prison. As major underground operatives\, his parents were eventually able to arrange for him to be raised at the Stasova home. There he encountered many equally confused and traumatized children. Even the Stasova home’s administrators did not know the real identities of many children’s parents\, which caused major difficulties during Stalin’s purge. Were children free of responsibility for the sins of their parents\, as Stalin preached\, or were they dangerous potential enemies of the people\, as he often practiced?  \nVoices of history’s children matter today more than ever\, when children from Gaza to Eastern Ukraine serve as high-profile symbols\, pawns\, and victims in the violent geopolitics of the world around them. Dozens of first-person interviews have allowed Professor McGuire to investigate how the equally fierce struggle for world communism looked through the eyes of children\, and what the long-term consequences for them were. \nProfessor Elizabeth McGuire is a historian of global communism\, focusing on cross-cultural human experiences and networks that arose in connection with the Soviet-backed transnational communist movement. She received her Ph.D. from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and is now Associate Professor of History at California State University\, East Bay\, where she also created and runs a BA program to prepare future high school history teachers. Her first book\, Red at Heart: How Chinese Communists Fell in Love with the Russian Revolution\, published by Oxford University Press in 2017\, is about personal relationships between Russian and Chinese revolutionaries against the dramatic backdrop of shifting geopolitics. It won an honorable mention for the W. Bruce Lincoln prize for a first published monograph of “exceptional merit and lasting significance for the understanding of Russia’s past.” It was also a Choice Outstanding Academic Title and a London Times Higher Education Book of the Year. Professor McGuire is now writing a second book\, Communist Neverland: History of an International Children’s Home\, 1933–2013. \n  \nMcGuire flyer

SUMMARY:The World of Ancient Greek Potters: Skills\, Spaces\, Social Networks
DESCRIPTION:Greek pots\, with their delicate shapes\, lively scenes and varied contexts of use and deposition have enjoyed great popularity with ancient and modern viewers alike. They have also been scrutinized as documentation of gender roles\, extent of literacy\, social and economic status\, and as media for political propaganda. Scholars have recently widened their research scope to highlight the potters who produced these vessels… Inside their workshops\, potters operated the wheel or the kiln not by using high-tech settings but by applying their skills fine-tuned over decades or even generations. Even when technical secrets were well-guarded in an environment of relentless competition\, everyone knew and appreciated the long hours that a potter had to practice to achieve perfection. A potter’s apprenticeship at the wheel was so long and arduous that even Greek philosophers used it as the most effective metaphor for conveying the importance of mastering all topics in a slow and structured manner. A closer look at the spatial layout and technological equipment of their workshops and at the workforce relationships brings these establishments alive with masters\, apprentices\, middlemen\, and purchasers\, constantly negotiating their roles inside and outside the workshop. Beyond their advanced skill set\, Greek potters often prayed to gods to secure successful firings and to protect their businesses from local and global competitors in ever-changing configurations of trade networks. Moreover\, the potters also relied on their social networks of their industrial quarters\, where they could maintain established traditions and promoted innovative techniques. \nLecturer: Professor Eleni Hasaki\, University of Arizona \n  \n
