SUMMARY:Elizabeth Buettner\, "Postcolonial Migration Meets European Integration: Britain in Comparative Perspective"
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Buettner\, Professor of Modern History at the University of Amsterdam\, will present her paper “Postcolonial Migration Meets European Integration: Britain in Comparative Perspective” on Tuesday\, October 22 at 4:00 in HSSB 4020. \nHow exceptional has Britain’s history of inward migration after 1945 been compared to that of other Western European countries? Like other former imperial powers\, Britain became home to many peoples from its former colonies and Commonwealth\, many of whom were not of European descent; moreover\, like many of its continental neighbors Britain too attracted migrants from other European countries. How did common responses to newcomers from outside Europe resemble or differ from attitudes towards foreign Europeans\, particularly those from within the European Economic Community/European Union? This paper will sketch out general issues and discuss changes over time\, not least by comparing earlier decades to developments occurring after EU’s eastward enlargement since 2004 that have culminated in Brexit. \nClick here to download the flyer for this event.

SUMMARY:Steve Zipperstein\, "The Impeachment Wars: What Lies Ahead"
DESCRIPTION:The Trump impeachment saga has gained startling momentum in recent days. As the proceedings accelerate\, fascinating legal and policy questions arise. Can the president pardon people who have committed crimes at his behest? Can he pardon himself? Does impeachment require proof of a federal crime? Is the Senate required to hold an actual trial? Can nonfederal legal authorities—like the New York State Attorney General or the Manhattan District Attorney—bring criminal charges against the president while he remains in office? Steve Zipperstein explores these and other issues as he contemplates legal and political prospects in the coming weeks and months.   \nSteve Zipperstein is the former Chief Assistant United States Attorney in Los Angeles\, where he served alongside current Congressman Adam Schiff. Zipperstein also served as Counselor to Attorney General Janet Reno\, and as Counselor to then-Assistant Attorney General Robert Mueller. Zipperstein reported directly to former and current Attorney General William Barr for more than a decade during their private sector careers. Following his tenure as a federal prosecutor\, Zipperstein served as the Chief Legal Officer of Verizon Wireless and of BlackBerry. Zipperstein currently teaches in the Global Studies and Public Policy departments at UCLA and is a Senior Fellow at UCLA’s Center for Middle East Development. He has also served as a Visiting Professor of Law at Tel Aviv University. His forthcoming book\, Law and the Arab-Israeli Conflict: The Trials of Palestine\, will be published by Routledge in 2020. \nClick here to download the flyer for this event.

SUMMARY:Mia Dragnic and Pierina Ferretti: "An Expansive Rebellion: Feminism and Social Revolt in Chile"
DESCRIPTION:UCSB and UCSD have joined together to welcome Pierina Ferretti and Mia Dragnic García\, sociologists and doctoral candidates in Latin American Studies at the University of Chile. \nIn October 2019\, Chile experienced its largest social revolt since the return to democracy in 1990. The mobilization\, which began as a spontaneous reaction to protest against a 0.30 USD rise in the Santiago transport fare\, soon after became a widespread outburst against the precarious and unjust conditions that affect the majority of the population after almost fifty years of life under a neoliberal regime. Throughout Chile\, high school and university students\, young precarious professionals\, residents of peripheral neighborhoods\, sectors of a fragile and unstable “middle class”\, soccer hooligans (a symbol of popular and stigmatized youth)\, qualified salaried workers and unqualified\, retirees and older adults\, office workers\, and app workers\, among others\, joined together in mass demonstrations. \nAs an immediate antecedent to this revolt in Chile\, there had been a recent emergence of a new wave of the feminist movement that has since caused a general awareness of sexist violence\, sexual abuse\, and the need for an abortion law\, issues that today they occupy the center of social debate. One can see the underground work that Chilean feminism has carried out for many years and that has gained symbolic capital – this is key to understanding how it has moved from private malaise to collective revolt today. Feminism has acted in Chile as an expansive rebellion\, starting with women and sexual dissidents and has advanced towards the politicization of broad social sectors\, preparing the conditions for mass revolt. \nZoom link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/89256077958?pwd=Mlp2MWFNVENGRTNmZXFIb2k0WE5rZz09 \nPassword: chile \n\nThis event is part of the Feminismos desde abajo\, y hacia el sur/ Feminisms from Below\, and Toward the South series. This speaker series welcomes feminist militants from Latin America to share their perspectives and experiences on building popular power towards a mass feminist movement. Over the past decade\, Latin American feminists have identified manifestations of gender-based oppression under capitalism in everyday women’s conditions in order to successfully mobilize them as part of a political movement. Feminists produce analyses and subsequent strategies around reproductive rights\, resource extractivism\, housing\, debt\, and more. This mass feminism has grown to be arguably the most insurgent political force across the continent.

SUMMARY:Public History Colloquium Event–”Reinterpreting Slavery and the Emotional Labor of History”
DESCRIPTION:Join the History Department’s Colloquium in Public History on Friday\, February 5 at noon for a Zoom talk by Professor Hilary N. Green (University of Alabama). \nProfessor Green reflects on the powerful legacy of Jim Crow era efforts to erase the history of slavery from the landscape of her workplace\, the University of Alabama\, and shares a project she pursued to rewrite this historical narrative. She researched\, designed and implemented a campus tour to tell the actual history of slavery and enslaved workers in the University’s past. She collected oral tradition and pursued deep archival research\, to historicize “the experiences\, activism and collective memories of African American men\, women and children\,” and describes her efforts to get the campus community to rethink its understanding of the past\, even as an untenured member of the faculty. Her project exposed the racist structures undergirding the University Archives; it highlights the tenacity of older narratives and exposes some of the physical and psychological burdens of this sort of historical recuperation for the practitioner. All this unfolded in the larger social struggle over historical monuments and commemoration in recent months. As Green writes\, “when exploring the racial history of one’s employer\, the Jim Crow era archival project of white supremacy is no longer an abstract concept read about only in scholarship.” \nRegister for this Zoom event at https://ucsb.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_yzLVlQ62QNGv7sZz1DenDA. \nTo download the flyer for this event\, click here. \nRecommended reading: \n• Hilary Green\, “The Hallowed Ground Tour: Revising and Reimagining Landscapes of Slavery at the University of Alabama\,” in-progress seminar paper.  \n• Hilary Green\, “The Burden of the University of Alabama’s Hallowed Grounds\,” The Public Historian 42: 4 (November 2020): 28-40.

SUMMARY:Mónica Michelena: "We Are Charrúa Women: From Negation to Re-Existence in Our Body-Territory"
DESCRIPTION:UCSB and UCSD have joined together to welcome Mónica Michelena\, Secretary of the Charrúa Nation’s Council and former Advisor on Indigenous Affairs for Uruguay’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (2014-18). \nCharrúa women have gone through dispossession\, exclusion\, and negation that left marks on their collective memory and body-territory. This genocidal process did not end in 19th-century Uruguay\, but continues today and manifests itself every time that institutions or civil society denies their existence as an indigenous people. For fifteen years\, together with Charrúa sisters from Argentina\, Charrúa women from Uruguay have been working to demolish hegemonic narratives of the market and state. As subjects of legal right\, they are reconfiguring their existence and re-existence in their great ancestral-territory-body. This collective search has led Michelena to academic spaces. \nIn 2011\, Michelena began an investigation with rural Charrúa women in Uruguay’s interior to question the nation-state’s devices of invisibility and to expose counter-memories as part of an attempt to disarm the social and symbolic representation of their extinction. Through a methodological approach based on collaborative ethnography\, Michelena’s research aims to rearm the great quillapí of memory. The metaphor of quillapí – a leather cape made from patchwork – implies that each woman is the bearer of a small piece of memory and\, among all\, they are sewing together its scraps. Down this path\, Charrúa women began to slowly gain recognition from the Uruguayan feminist movement\, in a slow process of internal decolonization. \nZoom link: https://ucsd.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcscu2urjkpEtMCu4cVNRoiyQe_J-RtAr1Y \nPassword: uruguay \n\nThis event is part of the Feminismos desde abajo\, y hacia el sur/ Feminisms from Below\, and Toward the South series.

SUMMARY:Public History Colloquium Event–"Telling Diverse Stories: The National Park Service Women's History Initiative and Collaboration in Historic Preservation"
DESCRIPTION:Join the History Department’s Colloquium in Public History on Friday\, June 4 at noon for a Zoom talk by Christopher E. Johnson (National Park Service)\, Anne Lindsay (Public History\, CSU Sacramento)\, and Jenni Sorkin (History of Art and Architecture\, UCSB). \nThis presentation describes collaborative work completed under the Women’s History Initiative\, one of three national initiatives authorized by the Secretary of the Interior in 2011 to foster greater representation in NPS programs. \nJohnson will discuss the NPS initiatives\, while Profs. Sorkin and Lindsay share their experiences as scholars with a recent NPS collaborative project at Pond Farm Pottery\, the home and studio of Bauhaus ceramicist Marguerite Wildenhain. In addition to recognizing a nationally significant site associated with women’s contributions to American arts\, the project also provided valuable hands-on experience to undergraduate and graduate students pursuing careers in public history. \nRegister for this event at https://ucsb.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_QWJsZ22GQtiyk3Lgqn7-pw \nRecommended web links: \nHeritage and History Initiatives – National Historic Landmarks (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov) \nWomen’s History (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov) \ncrm-v20n3.pdf (npshistory.com) \nExplore Suffragist Stories and Connections (arcgis.com) \nhttps://stewardscr.org/pond-farm-pottery/
