SUMMARY:The Ayotzinapa Student Massacre and the Rural Teacher Training Schools in Mexico: A Historical Perspective
DESCRIPTION:On September 26 and 27\, 2014\, municipal police agents opened fire on students of the teacher training school Isidro Burgos of Ayotzinapa.  The students were traveling in buses they commandeered in the city of Iguala\, in the southern Mexican sate of Guerrero. The police assassinated six people\, three of them students. One student remained in vegetative state and forty-three students were disappeared.  Nearly five months later\, their whereabouts are still unknown\, save for one student\, whose death was confirmed by the federal government and Argentinean forensic doctors. This massacre and disappearance of students\, many of them indigenous youth who were beginning their studies to become teachers in one of Mexico’s most impoverished regions\, stirred a strong social mobilization. The crimes exposed the links between drug trafficking and the government\, the growing violence and impunity\, and the increasing inequality sweeping Mexico\, with 20\,000 people so far reported disappeared. In this talk Professor Civera examines the history of the teacher training rural schools of Mexico\, focusing particularly on Ayotzinapa. From this historical framework\, she analyzes the disappearances of the students.\nRural teaching training schools\, or escuelas normales rurales\, were created by the federal government in the 1920s\, after the Revolution. While historical and education scholarship has widely addressed their inception\, scholars have overlooked their more recent trajectories. Conceived of as boarding schools for poor people in the countryside\, the escuelas normales rurales have had problems coping with modernizing policies in the teaching profession including the federal state’s attempts to limit matriculations. The students of the rural teaching training schools have maintained their political organization\, fighting against such polices. Starting in the 1980s\, local newspapers criticized the political attitude of the students\, charging them with being radical Marxists and with resorting to illegal fighting methods.  One can conclude\, analyzing the relationship between the government and students over time\, that the disappearances and massacre of the Ayotzinapa students are\, among other things\, the result of years of abandonment and discrimination against rural sectors in Mexico.    \nDr. ALICIA CIVERA CERECEDO is Principal Researcher at Center for Research and Advanced Studies of the National Polytechnic Institute\, CINVESTAV-IPN\, Mexico City and founding member and current Vice-President of the Mexican Society for the History of Education.  She is the author of La Escuela como opción de vida: la formación de maestros normalistas rurales en Mexico\, 1921-1945 (2008)\, and editor of Culturas escolares\, sujetos y comunidades en America Latina\, among many other publications on the history of rural education in Mexico and Latin America.  For more information see Dr. Civera’s faculty page. \nMore information about the massacre can be found on the Wikipedia page 2014 Iguala mass kidnapping. \nThis talk will be in Spanish with an English translation. \nOrganized by the Department of History with the co-sponsorship of the Departments of Anthropology\, Spanish and Portuguese\, the Programs in Latin American and Iberian Studies\, and in Global and International Studies\, as well as the Department of Education and the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center.  \nFree and open to the public. \nhm 12/7/14\, 1/11/15\, 1/15\, 1/23\, 2/9\, 2/16

SUMMARY:Maidservants' Tales: Domestic and Comparative Histories of Women in Early Modern Japan
DESCRIPTION:In 1839\, a twice-divorced temple daughter from a small village in Echigo ran away to Edo. In a letter home\, she wrote that she wanted to enter a daimyo’s service and learn “the conduct and manners of the upper class.” Her brothers\, scandalized\, demanded that she return immediately. Instead\, she made a life for herself in the capital\, working a series of temporary maidservant jobs and ultimately marrying a samurai in the service of the Edo city magistrate. This talk places her story of urban migration and service work in a global context. It considers how we might find a place for Japanese women in the history of global early modernity\, which tends to emphasize instances of travel and exchange at the expense of the stories of the majority of individuals (particularly women)\, who stayed within “national” boundaries.\nAmy Stanley specializes in the history of early modern and modern Japan\, with a particular interest in how common people contributed to Japan’s political\, economic\, and social transformation in the mid-nineteenth century. Her first book\, Selling Women: Prostitution\, Markets and the Household in Early Modern Japan was published by University of California Press in 2012. She is currently at work on a new project\, which investigates a Japanese woman’s experience of urban migration\, service work\, and social mobility in early modern Japan. \nThis talk is sponsored by the IHC’s Reinventing Japan RFG\, the East Asia Center\, the Hull Chair\, the IHC\, and the departments of History\, Global Studies\, and East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies. \nhm 2/16/15
