SUMMARY:Kendall Lovely\, "Dismembering Classicism: Contesting Colonial and Classical Legacies in the Southwest"
DESCRIPTION:Classicization in U.S. heritage narratives often involves the imposition of classical elements\, derived from Greek and Roman civilization\, onto narratives of colonial conquest in Southwestern borderlands and frontier spaces. Ongoing controversies surrounding statues of the conquistador\, Juan de Oñate\, reflect the ways in which the classical legacy remains prominent in public spheres of historical narrative. In providing a visual narrative of conquest linked to classical imagery\, the Spanish history of the settling of the Southwest becomes implicated in broader U.S. historical narratives that valorize conquest as a civilizing force in the settling of the American West. While much of this classical imagery first appeared in Spanish sources\, this paper traces specifically how these classicized narratives of Spanish conquest became appropriated and implicated in Anglo-American/U.S. historical narratives\, as well as counter-narratives of Indigenous resistance. \nKendall Lovely\, a member of the Navajo Nation\, is from Albuquerque\, NM. She holds a double-major B.A. from the University of New Mexico in Comparative Literature & Cultural Studies and Anthropology\, an M.A. in Comparative Humanities from Brandeis University\, and a second M.A. in Museum Studies from UNM. Her recent thesis in Museum Studies explored Classical influence within early anthropology and museum discourses. Her examinations revealed how these models helped to construct colonial representations of gender\, especially in Southwest ethnology. As a Ph.D. student in Public History at the University of California Santa Barbara\, she continues these research inquiries toward decolonizing museum practices and the public interpretation of history in museum settings. \nPlease register in advance for this free presentation at this link.

SUMMARY:8th Annual Van Gelderen Lecture: Sasha Coles\, “The Great Silk Experiment: Silkworms\, Mulberry Trees\, and Women Workers in Mormon Country\, 1850s-1910s”
DESCRIPTION:UCSB History Associates presents the eighth annual Van Gelderen Graduate Student Lecture\, this year given by Dr. Sasha Coles. \nFrom the 1850s to the early 1900s\, Latter-Day Saint (or Mormon) women in both rural and urban Great Basin settlements planted mulberry trees\, raised silkworms\, and attempted to produce silk cocoons\, thread\, and cloth of a high-enough quality to use and sell. By most measurements\, they failed. Homegrown silk was time-consuming\, onerous\, and practically impossible to profit from\, primarily due to superior imported goods from Europe and Asia. Even so\, this talk will show how the homegrown silk industry provided Mormon women with a venue to make their own money\, shape transnational labor and commodity markets\, and understand ever-changing environmental conditions. In these and other ways\, Mormon women used silk production and consumption to resolve tensions between economic cooperation and competition\, market isolation and integration\, and religious exceptionalism and American citizenship. \nOur speaker\, Sasha Coles\, defended her UCSB Ph.D. dissertation successfully in February 2021. She received her M.A. from UCSB in 2015 and her B.A. from Arizona State University in 2013. Her publications include two articles in historical journals\, and she has developed a website on the Walt Disney theme parks. \nThe Zoom link for this year’s Van Gelderen Lecture is https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/6855143149.
