Mays Endowed Chair of Teaching\, Learning and\nLeadership at Georgia State University\, has had a distinguished career in academia\,\nholding the titles of professor\, provost\, associate vice chancellor\, director of teacher\neducation\, and department head at esteemed institutions such as Spelman College\,\nthe Medgar Evers College of the City University of New York\, the University of\nNew Orleans\, Santa Clara University\, Stanford University\, and Mills College. \nShe has published three books: Preparing Teachers for Diversity (Teachers College\nPress\, 1997); Teaching Diverse Populations (SUNY Press\, 1994); and Black Mothers\nto Sons: Juxtaposing A frican-American Literature with Social Practice (Peter Lang\nPublishing\, 1995). \nThe Department of Black Studies Graduate Emphasis in conjunction with the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education presents Joyce King\, the Benjamin E. Mays Professor of Teaching\, Learning and Leadership at George State University as the Black History Month Distinguished Lecturer for 2013. \nDr. King is the author of the book\, Black Education: A Transformative Research & Action Agenda for the New Century\, published by the American Education Research Association\, the premier association of research in American education\, in 2005\, as part of a multiyear study of education in America. Her work draws heavily on methodologies and epistemologies of Black Studies\, particularly the work of our late Professor Clyde Woods on “blues epistemologies” in African American culture. \nPlease join us in the Pollock Theatre at 5 pm on Monday\, February 25\, 2013 to hear her lecture\, “What We Know and How We Know\,” a critical look at American education today. \nhm 2/21/13 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/what-we-know-and-how-we-know-it/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20130227T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20130227T000000 DTSTAMP:20260508T171205 CREATED:20150928T112845Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112845Z UID:10001870-1361923200-1361923200@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Virginia's Internal Enemy: Slavery and War in the Early Republic DESCRIPTION:This talk will focus on Prof. Taylor’s new research project on African Americans during the War of 1812 and their dispersal throughout the Anglo-Atlantic world\, including Canada’s maritimes\, the Caribbean\, and Great Britain.\nTaylor is much admired by colonial and Early National period US historians\, and familiar to many of our grad students who have already encountered his works in HI 292A. He won the Bancroft (Best book in US history)\, Beveridge (AHA best book in Canadian\, US or Latin American history)\, and Pulitzer Prizes for the 1996 _William Cooper’s Town_\, about land speculators in upstate NY in the late 18th and early 19th c (Cooper was also father of James Fenimore Cooper). \nTaylor is a major force in 18th and 19th c. North American history in a global context\, and is a towering figure in borderlands/frontier history\, as well as in the history of the early republic and westward expansion. His latest work on the War of 1812 (a reappraisal of that conflict\, entitled _The Civil War of 1812: British Subjects\, Irish Rebels\, and Indian Allies_) has a foreign relations emphasis\, as do several of his earlier works\, which focus on relations across the border that would eventually be drawn between the US and Canada. \nhm 2/21/13 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/virginias-internal-enemy-slavery-and-war-in-the-early-republic/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20130228T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20130228T000000 DTSTAMP:20260508T171205 CREATED:20150928T112845Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112845Z UID:10001866-1362009600-1362009600@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:John Heritage: An English Wool Merchant and his World\, 1495-1520 DESCRIPTION:The chance discovery of a unique wool merchant’s account book in the muniment room of Westminster Abbey gives us a detailed picture of the trading networks and business contacts of a wool monger who lived at Moreton-in-Marsh on the edge of the Cotswold Hills. Through him we gain an insight into a society of sheep farmers and traders and their involvement in the export trade in raw wool. The presentation will include some of the family history\, landscape history\, and social history of an important period\, which stands between the late middle ages and Tudor expansion.\nProfessor Dyer is an eminent historian of daily life\, economic history\, and local history. His numerous publications include Standards of Living in the Later Middle Ages (1989); Everyday Life in Medieval England (2003); Making a Living in the Middle Ages (2003); An Age of Transition: Economy and Society in England in the Later Middle Ages (The Ford Lectures) (2007); ed. Social Relations and Ideas: Essay in Honour of R.H. Hilton (2009); William Dugdale\, Historian\, 1605-1689 (2009); and A Country Merchant\, 1495-1520: Trading and Farming at the End of the Middle Ages (2012). \nSponsored by the UCSB Medieval Studies Program. \njwil 21.ii.2013 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/john-heritage-an-english-wool-merchant-and-his-world-1495-1520/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
