SUMMARY:Sarah Case\, "The Woman Suffrage Movement: 'A Century of Struggle'"
DESCRIPTION:Join UCSB History Associates on Saturday\, October 17 on Zoom for their first public lecture of the academic year. Dr. Sarah Case will survey the woman suffrage movement for the hundred years or so before the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920. Her talk will consider why the idea of women voting was so controversial in the nineteenth\ncentury\, and examine how it became less so in the early twentieth century. Dr. Case will introduce some of the major activists and organizations in the women suffrage movement and highlight some of the turning points in the “century of struggle.” \nDr. Sarah Case earned her MA and PhD in history at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, where she is a continuing lecturer in history\, teaching courses in public history\, women’s history\, and history of the South. She is also the managing editor of The Public Historian\, a journal focused on publicly engaged historical scholarship.

SUMMARY:ISRRAR Event--Dr. LaKisha Simmons\, "The Ancestors and the Womb are One: Black Motherhood and Histories of Black Infant Loss"
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the twentieth century\, Black women in the United States experienced at least double the rates of infant mortality experienced by white women. Through an analysis of oral histories collected in the US South in the 1930s\, Dr. LaKisha Simmons (University of Michigan) details what Patricia Hill Collins terms a “Black women’s standpoint on mothering.” From interviewees’ discussions of infant and child loss emerge twin concepts of generation and Black relationality\, which enable a theory of Black motherhood as connected to survival and remembrance. The concept of generation reveals how Black women in the 1930s defined themselves as mothering their children after Emancipation and yet as inheriting the ever-present enslaved past through their own mothers and grandmothers. Black women articulated a sense of self and well-being that was in conversation with the ancestors and unborn. \nJoin this Zoom event here: https://bit.ly/3hVdvP4. \n\nThis event is part of the ISRRAR Winter Quarter series. \nProfessor Butch Ware and the ISRRAR announce the Winter Quarter schedule for HIST 210RA: Race\, Faith\, Revolution. Graduate students are invited to register for this 2-unit seminar and to sign up for the listserv at http://tinyurl.com/ISRRARListServ. \nHow have Black metaphysics articulated with racial politics in order to advance efforts of justice\, liberation\, and self-actualization? In this very special year of 2021\, our seminar will take on manifestations of anti-black racism and imperialism\, as well as African and African Diasporic efforts to mediate between the seen and unseen worlds in struggles for justice. \nThis graduate seminar is part of a broader collaborative process meant to engage graduate students and faculty alike. The Initiative for the Study of Race\, Religion\, and Revolution (ISRRAR) seeks to foster a conversation on intersections of spirituality and social change wherein works on (and by) formerly colonized peoples are central\, rather than peripheral. \nThis approach is driven by an axial critique of the ways in which modernity’s core contradictions shape our shared pasts and presents. An era of revolutionary enlightenment\, we are told\, brought humanity out of the ‘dark ages.’ Freedom dawned. But this ‘age of lights’ brought the darkest of racial taxonomies\, and scales of slavery and human suffering unknown to ancient and medieval worlds. Reason proclaimed its mission: liberate humanity from the bondage of irrational religion. Yet rational political economies brought global empires\, world wars\, and ethnic genocides. Moreover\, new nationalisms have drawn on older religious repertories to define citizens and subject them to moral authority. Self-congratulatory Western tropes\, however\, tend to overlook the ubiquity of race and the persistence of faith\, portraying them as incidental rather than fundamental. \nColonized peoples in Africa and the Americas\, tell different tales. A generation of emergent scholarship has brought these forward. Scholars (many trained in interdisciplinary fields) have recovered ‘native’ narratives and ontologies of the oppressed\, often dislodging dominant meta-narratives in the study of the global West. In History 210 we engage live presentations of the works of scholars\, activists\, and artists whose conceptualization and execution of their research breaks new ground in these domains.

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:Lucía Cavallero: "Gendered Violence and Financialization of Social Reproduction: A Feminist Perspective On Debt"
DESCRIPTION:UCSB and UCSD have joined together to welcome Lucía Cavallero\, a doctoral candidate in Social Sciences at the University of Buenos Aires. \nThe presentation will focus on the relationship between sexist violence and economic violence\, specifically the financialization of life and the increase in gender-based violence. It will highlight the Latin American feminist movement’s struggles against debt as articulated in the tactic of the March 8 International Women’s Day Strike and in Argentina’s Ni Una Menos (Not One Less) movement. \nSee Lucía’s articles “Debt and the Violence of Property” (Verso 2020) and “A feminist perspective on the battle over property” (Feminist Review 2020)\, both co-authored with Verónica Gago. \nZoom link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZElduGopjorEtfsRKUqNx8CcKzu8_VhM43a \nPassword: argentina \n\nThis event is part of the Feminismos desde abajo\, y hacia el sur/ Feminisms from Below\, and Toward the South series.

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. 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:History Associates: Luke Roberts\, "A Samurai Wife Divorces her Lout of a Husband"
DESCRIPTION:Join the History Associates for an engaging presentation from UCSB History Professor Luke Roberts on a specific case that influenced gender roles in 19th-century Japan. \nZoom link: ucsb.zoom.us/j/6855143149 \nMori Nao\, a young samurai wife in Japan\, desired a divorce from her abusive husband in 1824. Legally a man could divorce his wife but a wife could not divorce her husband. Nevertheless\, she persisted in the face of his adamant refusal to divorce her. Soon her relatives mobilized their social networks to convince his relatives to pressure him to give her a divorce\, but he still refused. Eventually most samurai in her lord’s domain in southwestern Japan were working to get her a divorce and even the lord became involved in supporting what she had no legal right to demand\, and threatened the well-being of the husband’s kin group. \nFinally\, the husband divorced her. His angry kin put him in a cage in his backyard where he was forced to live for some months. No formal record survives\, but a detailed diary of the process made by one relative of his house who played an important role in the negotiations reveals much about gender roles\, family networks and common disjunctures between law-as-written and law-as-it-operated.

SUMMARY:Gender + Sexualities Workshop - 'He Looked Pale and the Picture of Death': Sodomy\, Settler Self-Government\, and  the Age of Reform in 1840s Canada
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Gender + Sexualities Cluster for a Paper Workshop on Monday\, 8 May 2023\, at 2 PM.  \nWe will meet in HSSB 4020 to discuss Jarett Henderson‘s chapter\, “‘ He Looked Pale and the Picture of Death’: Sodomy\, Settler Self-Government\, and the Age of Reform in 1840s Canada.” \nABSTRACT \nThis chapter focuses primarily on the period from June 1841 to October 1842 – sixteen months during which Henry Black in the Canadian House of Assembly and Robert Sullivan in the Legislative Council led the effort to reform the administration of criminal justice in the newly created United Province of Canada. Although the recalibration of Britain’s colonial project in northern North America following the 1837-38 rebellion has been the subject of extensive historiography\, no other work has examined these bills to improve and consolidate the criminal laws of the colony in relation to the histories of sex\, gender\, and settler self-government. Drawn primarily from the published Journals of the elected House of Assembly and the appointed Legislative Council\, the chapter seeks to better how the re-criminalization of sex between men legitimized sodomy as a queer threat to the structures of white settler self-government that were being put into place in the early-1840s. How did this settler government legislate for the abominable\, infamous\, and unnatural crime of sodomy — which often included both buggery and bestiality — in early Canada? What about false accusations of\, and failed attempts at\, sodomy? What about anti-heterosexual threats that put a man’s property at risk? The legislative records and the colonial archives created teach us that unnatural sex\, settler manhood\, political independence\, and self-government were intimately connected in colonial Canada and wrapped up in larger empire-wide debates about capital punishment\, convict transportation\, and political reform. \nYou can find a copy of Jarett’s paper here\, (starting May 1). Please read the paper in advance and be prepared to share your observations and insights with the group. \nAll are welcome.

SUMMARY:Annual Gender + Sexualities Graduate Student Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:9:00 – 10:00 – SESSION A (Presenter will Zoom) \nGiulia Giamboni\, History\, UC Santa Barbara  \n“Pelegrina de Saladino: Mother\, Sister\, Patroness\, and Business Woman” \nThis is chapter 2 of my dissertation “Gender\, Charity\, and Empire in the Late Medieval Eastern Mediterranean.” By investigating the life of fourteenth-century Pelegrina de Saladinis\, the chapter explores the complex intersections between gender\, politics\, and empire in the cross-cultural context of late medieval Zadar (Croatia). A widow with a husband killed in a local uprising  and a brother exiled\, living in a city ravaged by two centuries of colonial dominion and by the Black death\, Pelegrina managed to construct a powerful network turning into a key figure in the social fabric of Zadar. She became a trusted testamentary executor for local powerful families\, she endowed and renovated a monastery for poor girls with lands and money\, she built a hospital for the poor\, and helped persecuted friars from Bosnia find a refuge in her city. Her foundations received the support of other Zaratin women revealing that these women identified with Pelegrina’s image. Pelegrina knew how to gain the trust of her fellow citizens and to navigate oppressive political regimes to provide concrete help to the need of her city. Pelegrina’s story of civic and political engagements in a colonized city challenges traditional narrative of women’s charitable giving. Her life demonstrates that women retooled pious practices of charitable giving to challenge the power of an outside political entity. Weaving close relationships with the local oligarchy\, granting lands and resources to religious institutions\, and caring for the poor and marginalized offered new and empowering opportunities to women to intervene in the daily life of the city and express their political standing. Pious practices did not constrain women’s individual and collective agency. Instead\, women’s charitable activities opened up spaces for performance of agency and emancipatory ends. \n  \n10:00 – 11:00 – SESSION B \nMakoto Hunter\, History\, UC Santa Barbara  \n“‘I Am Not a Criminal’: Mormon Women and the Federal Policing of Polygamous Wives in the Early Progressive Era” \nBy passing the 1882 Edmunds Antipolygamy Act and criminalizing the “unlawful cohabitation” of men and women not legally married\, the United States embarked on an unprecedented campaign of federal sexual reform targeting the nation’s most notorious “deviants”: the polygamous Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints\, or Mormons. On paper\, the Edmunds Act specifically targeted men as criminal polygamists\, implying women were victims. However\, as federal agents sought convictions\, their attention turned from polygamist men as defendants to plural wives as potential witnesses. Antipolygamy prosecutors considered the bodily presence of a plural wife—or\, better yet\, the visible evidence of her pregnancy—an ideal smoking gun to prove unlawful cohabitation. Federal marshals went out of their way to subpoena plural wives to testify against their husbands. Using diaries\, letters\, and other autobiographical material from plural wives\, this paper examines the state’s assertion of power over women’s bodies in the history of late-nineteenth-century antipolygamy. The paper also charts how these women responded\, whether by claiming a right to bodily privacy from the witness stand\, theorizing the disciplinary purpose of incarceration from prison\, or recognizing federal authorities’ surveillance of them in the professed privacy of their communities and homes. Looking back to antipolygamy reveals an unexpected predecessor to early-twentieth-century anti-prostitution legislation\, which followed a similar arc of ostensibly prosecuting men’s sexuality by policing women’s bodies—as well as to the contemporary crisis over a woman’s legal right to make choices about her own body and have sexual and reproductive autonomy. \n  \n11:00 – 11:15 – NUTRITION BREAK \n  \n11:15 – 12:15 – SESSION C \nAlice Fulmer\, English\, UC Santa Barbara  \n“The T4T Gift Economy and Antagonisms in the Middle English Romance of Sir Launfal” \nCurrent discourse and parlance around “t4t” (trans for trans relationships)\, involves speculation what such relationships mean in terms of compulsory heterosexuality\, conceptions of queerness\, ideas about passing\, and trans tenderness\, but also perceiving an unassuming pair of two things or people and tongue-in-cheek claiming they’re “t4t”. While contemporary queer theory and concepts like “t4t” are anachronistic to such canons such as the Middle English romance tradition\, a “t4t” framework may be helpful in uncovering instances of gender non-conformity relative to the 13th and 14th centuries. Romances such as Thomas Chestre’s translative Sir Launfal (a translation of 12thc. Marie de France) exhibit romantic and platonic relationships as central loci in their texts from which a certain ‘t4t’ affect is derived. Without trans language as one knows in the 21st century\, ‘t4t’ can be impressed onto the relationship and parasocial objects. While taking inspiration from the work of Sara Ahmed and her generation of affect theorists\, this paper carves a path between more traditional (re: heterosexual) medieval literary studies\, queer theory/terminology\, and the other aforementioned theories. Looking at central characters and their relationships’ dynamics from the Middle English romance tradition provides a means\, not a history\, from which ‘t4t’ can be understood as a framework to measure affect between individuals who exhibit gender non conformity and how this is impressed and interned into objects they interact or transfer personal affect into. In brief\,  these gender affirmations and antagonisms propel the narrative’s resolution to demonstrate how they embody the genre of Middle English romance in the late medieval period.  Consider this an inquiry into the bandwidth that a romance like Sir Launfal has exploring t4t discourse as present in contemporary transgender studies\, along with key excerpts from the fields of etymology\, literary history\, and whatever is left of philology. \n  \n12: 15 – 1:00 – LUNCH  \n  \n1:00 – 2:00 – SESSION D \nKristina Kelehan\, History\, UC Santa Barbara  \n“Spying Homosexuals: An Analysis of the Vassall Affair and Representations\, Ideas\, and the Politics of Gay Men in Britain during the Cold War \nWhile it is well known that some of the most famous British spies working for the Soviet Union during the Cold War were gay men\, much work on this history is written by journalists for popular audiences. My work focuses on a less sensational story but one that is no less important for what it reveals about the politics of queer history in twentieth-century Britain. I am studying the life of John Vassall\, a gay man who worked for the British Civil Service and was blackmailed by the Soviet Union starting in 1955. He passed key information to the Soviets until his arrest in 1962. A public scandal at the time\, my research examines how the British public reacted to the scandal but also how and why his story disappeared from the public eye and has not received historical attention. \n  \n2:00 – 3:00 – SESSION E \nKristen Thomas-McGill\, History\, UC Santa Barbara  \n“A Case Study of Celebrity\, Scottishness\, and Masculinity in the Victorian Empire” \nThis is Chapter 1 of a five-chapter dissertation\, “‘Now I am Going to Tell You about Sir Hector Macdonald’: A Cultural Biography of Memorialization and Child Sexual Abuse in the British Empire.” It traces Hector Macdonald’s extraordinary rise through the ranks from private to major-general\, attending to the events of Macdonald’s life and media depictions of him. I show how the late 19th-century print media fashioned Macdonald into a celebrity symbol of Scottish martial masculinity\, a particularly salient figure at a time when Britons worried about the fitness of their men in the face of imperial challenges. This chapter is both a biography and a critical analysis of biography as a historical source. Victorian media depictions of Macdonald’s life story are replete with inaccuracies\, offering opportunities to consider the tensions and concordances among biography\, mythmaking\, journalistic errors\, and plain lies. \n  \n3:00 – 3:15 – NUTRITION BREAK  \n  \n3:15 – 4:15 – SESSION F (Presenter will Zoom) \nKelsey Wight\, History\, UC Santa Barbara  \nViolets & Roses\, Betony\, & Borage: Italian Women as Apothecaries  \nIn this paper\, I will argue that gender played a crucial and oftentimes restricting role in women’s apothecarial practice in early modern Italy\, but that it also produced “zones of sociability” and new opportunities for women such as becoming a public figurehead\, an author of natural science\, or even a saint. The history of science has often marginalized the contributions of women to early modern science and excluded them from discourse concerning natural philosophy. I seek to center the contributions of early modern women and place them\, as active participants\, within early modern natural philosophy. My central research questions include: How widespread was apothecarial practice within cloistered Italian convents and in the lay public marketplace? How does the Inquisition/Counter-Reformation in Italy factor into how women practiced the apothecarial arts? And how do the apothecary practices of nuns differ from lay women in early modern Italy? I will use the concepts investigated in this research paper to develop my MA thesis and eventual dissertation. \n  \n4:15 – 6:00 – KEYNOTE & HAPPY HOUR \nDr. Candice Lyons\,  2022-2023 Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow  \nDepartment of Black Studies\, UC Santa Barbara  \n“Queering Slavery: Staging Queer Re-Examinations of the Archive”

SUMMARY:Talk: Erin Trumble\, "Rebirth after Retirement: How Elderly Women Reinvented Femininity in Edo Japan"
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Graduate Student Erin Trumble\n \n\n \n\nTitle: “Rebirth after Retirement: How Elderly Women Reinvented Femininity in Edo Japan”\n \nDescription: The talk will focus on retirement as a life stage and examine how it represented a time when women had both more freedom after being liberated from daily tasks and more authority due to their age. I will examine prescriptive literature and its silences around responsibilities for retired women\, as well as use examples from the lives of Nakako\, Ieko\, Shigako\, and Aijo to show how women engaged with travel\, literature\, and religion in new ways as a result of this freedom and authority.
