SUMMARY:Talk by Mateo Jarquin\, "Managaua 1979\," Monday\, April 20\, 4 pm\, HSSB 4041
DESCRIPTION:Professor Mateo Jarquin of Chapman University will be giving a talk titled “Managua 1979: International and Transnational Origins of the Cold War’s Last Great Revolution.”  \n \n\nAfter the Cuban Revolution\, armed movements across Latin America embraced violent struggle as a path to social transformation. Yet only one managed to seize power: Nicaragua’s Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional (FSLN). Their unlikely victory in July 1979 gripped the world’s attention and ignited a major hotspot in the late Cold War. \nHow did it happen? Drawing from his book The Sandinista Revolution: A Global Latin American History\, Mateo Jarquín recounts the fall of the U.S.-backed dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza. The story unfolds not only inside Nicaragua and in Washington but across Latin America\, where the rebel FSLN was embedded in a regional web of state and non‑state actors conspiring to isolate Somoza\, challenge U.S. influence\, and ultimately bring about the last major left‑wing revolution of the 20th century. \nMateo Jarquín is Assistant Professor of History and Director of the Master’s Program in War\, Diplomacy\, and Society at Chapman University. His research explores the intersection of democracy\, revolutions\, and international relations in modern Latin America. He is the author of The Sandinista Revolution: A Global Latin American History (University of North Carolina Press\, 2024)\, which received the 2025 Michael H. Hunt Prize in International History from the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations. Articles from this research agenda have appeared in journals such as Cold War History and The Americas: A Quarterly Review of Latin American History. Alongside his historical work\, he writes regularly about contemporary Central American politics. Originally from Nicaragua\, Jarquín holds a PhD from Harvard University and a BA from Grinnell College. \n\nThe event is sponsored by the Center for Cold War Studies and International History and the UCSB Department of History. It is free and open to the public. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Tsuyoshi Hasegawa\, "The Last Tsar: The Abdication of Nicholas II and the Fall of the Romanovs"
DESCRIPTION:UCSB Professor of History (emeritus) Tsuyoshi Hasegawa and Michigan State Professor of History (emeritus) Lewis Siegelbaum will engage in a colloquy on Professor Hasegawa’s new book\, The Last Tsar: The Abdication of Nicholas II and the Fall of the Romanovs. When Tsar Nicholas II fell from power in 1917\, Imperial Russia faced a series of overlapping crises\, from war to social unrest. Although Nicholas’s life is often described as tragic\, it was not fate that doomed the Romanovs; it was poor leadership and a blinkered faith in autocracy. \nBased on a trove of new archival discoveries\, The Last Tsar narrates how Nicholas’s resistance to reform doomed the monarchy. Encompassing the captivating personalities of the era\, it untangles the struggles between the increasingly isolated Nicholas and Alexandra and the factions of scheming nobles\, ruthless legislators\, and pragmatic generals who sought to stabilize the restive Russian empire either with the Tsar or without him. By rejecting compromise\, Nicholas undermined his supporters at crucial moments. His blunders cleared the way for allout civil war and the eventual rise of the Soviet Union. \nDefinitive and engrossing\, The Last Tsar uncovers how Nicholas II stumbled into revolution\, taking his family\, the Romanov dynasty\, and the whole Russian Empire down with him. \n \nTsuyoshi Hasegawa is professor emeritus at the University of California at Santa Barbara. He is the author of numerous books\, including The February Revolution\, Petrograd 1917: The End of the Tsarist Regime and the Birth of Dual Power (2017)\, Crime and Punishment in the Russian Revolution: Mob Justice and the Police in Petrograd (2017); Racing the Enemy: Stalin\, Truman and the Surrender of Japan (2006); The Northern Territories Dispute and Russo‑Japanese Relations (1998)\, and The February Revolution: Petrograd\, 1917 (1981). He lives in Santa Barbara\, California.

SUMMARY:Mystery Children: The Stasova International Children’s Home During Stalin’s Purge
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on her current book project\, Communist Neverland: History of an International Children’s Home\, 1933–2013\, Elizabeth McGuire tells the story of the Stasova International Children’s Home\, an elite orphanage and boarding school for the children of Communist Party leaders from all parts of the globe. Professor McGuire will focus in this talk on “Jimmy Ruegg\,” one of the Stasova home’s many “mystery children.” Jimmy spent his earliest years in the International Settlement in Shanghai\, believed he was German\, and thought he had two families: one enmeshed in German-Chinese trade and the other in prison. As major underground operatives\, his parents were eventually able to arrange for him to be raised at the Stasova home. There he encountered many equally confused and traumatized children. Even the Stasova home’s administrators did not know the real identities of many children’s parents\, which caused major difficulties during Stalin’s purge. Were children free of responsibility for the sins of their parents\, as Stalin preached\, or were they dangerous potential enemies of the people\, as he often practiced?  \nVoices of history’s children matter today more than ever\, when children from Gaza to Eastern Ukraine serve as high-profile symbols\, pawns\, and victims in the violent geopolitics of the world around them. Dozens of first-person interviews have allowed Professor McGuire to investigate how the equally fierce struggle for world communism looked through the eyes of children\, and what the long-term consequences for them were. \nProfessor Elizabeth McGuire is a historian of global communism\, focusing on cross-cultural human experiences and networks that arose in connection with the Soviet-backed transnational communist movement. She received her Ph.D. from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and is now Associate Professor of History at California State University\, East Bay\, where she also created and runs a BA program to prepare future high school history teachers. Her first book\, Red at Heart: How Chinese Communists Fell in Love with the Russian Revolution\, published by Oxford University Press in 2017\, is about personal relationships between Russian and Chinese revolutionaries against the dramatic backdrop of shifting geopolitics. It won an honorable mention for the W. Bruce Lincoln prize for a first published monograph of “exceptional merit and lasting significance for the understanding of Russia’s past.” It was also a Choice Outstanding Academic Title and a London Times Higher Education Book of the Year. Professor McGuire is now writing a second book\, Communist Neverland: History of an International Children’s Home\, 1933–2013. \n  \nMcGuire flyer

SUMMARY:Prof. Adrienne Edgar\, "Intermarriage and the Friendship of Peoples: Ethnic Mixing in Soviet Central Asia"
DESCRIPTION:Adrienne Edgar‘s new monograph\, Intermarriage and the Friendship of Peoples\, is the first book to examine ethnic and racial mixing in the Soviet Union. In marked contrast to its Cold War rivals\, the Soviet Union celebrated mixed marriages among its diverse ethnic groups as a sign of the unbreakable friendship of peoples and the imminent emergence of a supra-ethnic “Soviet people.” Yet the official view of ethnic nationality became increasingly primordial and even racialized in the final Soviet decades. In this context\, mixed families and individuals found it impossible to transcend ethnicity\, fully embrace their complex identities\, and become simply “Soviet.”  \nThis event is sponsored by the Center for Cold War Studies and International History. Delicious refreshments will be served!

SUMMARY:Center for Cold War Studies Talk: Nancy Mitchell\, "Andrew Young: Challenging Anglo-Saxon Foreign Policy?"
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Young\, one of Martin Luther King’s top aides and a former member of Congress\, served as Jimmy Carter’s ambassador to the United Nations. Outspoken and controversial\, Young questioned prevailing Cold War assumptions. “Communism has never been a threat to me\,” he said. “Racism has always been a threat—and that has been the enemy of all of my life.” \nNancy Mitchell is Professor of History at North Carolina State University. She is the author of Jimmy Carter in Africa: Race and the Cold War (2016)\, which received the Douglas Dillon Award from the American Academy of Diplomacy and the Robert Ferrell Prize from the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations. Professor Mitchell’s first book was The Danger of Dreams: German and American Imperialism in Latin America\, 1895-1914 (1999). She contributed the chapter on “The Cold War and Jimmy Carter” to The Cambridge History of the Cold War (2010)\, and her articles have appeared in Cold War History\, International History Review\, Diplomatic History\, American Historical Review\, Journal of American History\, Prologue\, H-Diplo\, and H-Pol. \nClick here to join the Zoom for this event.

SUMMARY:Interdisciplinary Conference on "Fallout: Chernobyl and the Ecology of Disaster"
DESCRIPTION:The interdisciplinary virtual conference Fallout: Chernobyl and the Ecology of Disaster will take place on Friday\, April 30\, 2021 at 9:00am-4:00pm (Pacific Time\, US & Canada)\, when an international slate of speakers representing a variety of disciplines will share their insights on the 35th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster. \n \nThe day before\, an associated Carsey-Wolf Center virtual discussion of the award-winning documentary “The Babushkas of Chernobyl\,” with Director Holly Morris\, will take place on Thursday\, April 29\, 2021 at 4:00pm (Pacific Time\, US & Canada)\, before which registered participants can pre-screen the film. Information on registering for both events and the conference website are below:\n \nConference Website\n \nRegister for the Virtual Conference at 9am-4pm Pacific Time (US & Canada) on Friday\, April 30\, 2021\n \nRegister for the Carsey-Wolf Center Virtual Discussion at 4pm Pacific Time (US & Canada) on Thursday\, April\, 29\, 2021\n \nThirty-five years after the 1986 nuclear accident at Chernobyl\, the interdisciplinary virtual conference Fallout: Chernobyl and the Ecology of Disaster considers its afterlife and reverberations in various disciplines\, including culture and the arts. Situated at a watershed moment during the Cold War\, Chernobyl has spawned an unprecedented quantity of global responses from scientists\, writers\, filmmakers\, and artists\, and it has become a key moment for the global environmental movement. This conference views the accident and its aftermath in the context of broader global ecologies of disaster and considers how catastrophe is coded and understood — or fails to be understood — through the prism of science\, art\, literature\, and film. How do all these disciplines and discourses confront the disaster\, and where do they converge to produce the fiction\, or the truth\, of what we call “Chernobyl”? The conference brings together scholars and experts in Comparative Literature\, History\, Anthropology\, Environmental Studies\, Nuclear Engineering\, Medicine\, Art\, Film\, and Germanic and Slavic Studies.\n \nSponsored by the Division of Arts and Letters and the T. A. Barron Environmental Fund. Event partners include the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies\, the\, and the Carsey-Wolf Center. Other sponsors include the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, Department of Global Studies\, Comparative Literature Program\, Environmental Studies\, Cold War Studies\, College of Creative Studies\, and History Department. (Rescheduled from April 2020 when it was postponed due to COVID-19.)

SUMMARY:Documentary film screening: "McCarthy"
DESCRIPTION:McCarthy 2Seventy years ago this February\, Senator Joseph R. McCarthy of Wisconsin launched his destructive anticommunist rampage. Addressing the Women’s Republican Club in Wheeling\, WVA\, McCarthy charged that 205—or was it 57?—known communists were working for the U.S. State Department\, enjoying the protection of an indifferent or even a disloyal Truman administration. McCarthy went on to even wilder charges\, intensifying an anticommunist Red Scare that had begun shortly after the end of World War II. For a few years in the early 1950s\, the senator enjoyed remarkable support from his fellow Republicans. While many of them privately bemoaned his crudeness\, they relished the damage he was inflicting on their liberal and Democratic foes. Only after McCarthy turned his attacks on other Republicans did the GOP start mobilizing against him. This riveting PBS documentary film\, written\, produced\, and directed by Sharon Grimberg\, chronicles the demagogue’s extraordinary rise and fall. After the screening\, Prof. Salim Yaqub of the UCSB Department of History will lead an audience discussion.

SUMMARY:Barbara Walker\, "Fathers and Sons and the Origins of Cold War ‘Area Studies’ in the United States"
DESCRIPTION:Barbara Walker is Professor of Russian history at the University of Nevada\, Reno. She has published on a broad range of historical topics in the area of Russian and Soviet intellectual life and its economic foundations\, social organization and culture. \nMore recently\, she has branched out to explore the nature of expertise\, specifically “information expertise\,” in her current book project\, A War of Experts: Soviet and American Knowledge Networks in Cold War Competition and Collaboration. Her book will present the intertwined stories of a variety of lively and committed “information experts” in the Cold War United States and Soviet Union\, including early electronic computer designers\, U.S.-Soviet research exchange scholars\, journalists and Soviet dissidents. Information professionals in the area of intelligence make their appearance too. The book focuses on the efforts of these ambitious\, often passionate “experts” to multiply their numbers and to expand the influence of their expertise in this period. To accomplish these goals\, they built on networks and traditions reaching back into the 19th century\, in which lay the origins of the professionalization of expertise in many areas. \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:Film showing: "In the Shadow of the Moon"
DESCRIPTION:2019 marks the 50th anniversary of NASA’s Apollo program. The mission’s crewed flights began in 1968 with the first lunar circumnavigation; on July 20\, 1969 Neil Armstrong became the first human to step foot on another planet. By the end of 1972 Apollo’s funding was cut and NASA’s moon explorations were over. From 1969 to 1972 there were eight crewed missions and 12 astronauts walked on the surface of the moon\, exploring and doing scientific work “for the benefit of all mankind.” This award-winning documentary explores remastered archival footage and the recollections and commentary of almost every astronaut alive in 2007 regarding their participation in the Apollo program. Note the determination and awe that echoes through the memories of these unique Americans.  Learn what they thought about the tumultuous decade of the 1960s and how their accomplishment seemed to bring the world together\, ever so briefly. Hear what they say about humans going back to the moon and beyond\, a feat that is once again on NASA’s radar. The film will be introduced by 2018/2019 Center for Cold War Studies Fellow\, Christina Roberts\, a PhD student in the History of Science program at UCSB. Light refreshments served.In the Shadow of the Moon-flyer

SUMMARY:Film screening: "1968: The Year that Shaped a Generation"
DESCRIPTION:1968 Poster1968 was a pivotal year in U.S. and global history. In the United States\, students protested the Vietnam War. In France\, they protested university conditions and sparked worker strikes across the country. In Mexico City\, they protested state violence. This was also the year when the peaceful protest known as the “Prague Spring” flourished in Czechoslovakia\, when Martin Luther King planned a Poor People’s March on Washington\, and when Robert Kennedy ran for president. But the backlash against all of these stirrings was fierce. King and Kennedy were gunned down. Soviet tanks crushed the Prague Spring. Disarray in the American peace movement allowed Richard Nixon to become president. This documentary combines riveting archival footage and insightful interviews—with Jesse Jackson\, Barbara Ehrenreich\, Carlos Fuentes\, Pat Buchanan and others—to recreate an extraordinary year. The emerging picture is one of turmoil and anguish but also one of hope. The Vietnam protests ultimately led to a winding down of the war. The French uprising spurred university reforms in that country. The Prague Spring\, though ground down in 1968\, planted the seeds of Czechoslovakia’s Velvet Revolution of 1989. After the screening of the film\, Professor Salim Yaqub will make a brief presentation and lead a discussion. \nSponsored by the IHC and the Center for Cold War Studies and International History

SUMMARY:Talk by Dr. Charles Delgadillo: "Crusading for Democracy: William Allen White's Liberal Republican Internationalism"
DESCRIPTION:Delgadillo flyer \nThe question of America’s role in the world has been fiercely contested for more than a century in the Republican Party. The “isolationists” have argued that American interests were better served by remaining free of foreign entanglements\, while the “internationalists” have countered that American peace and prosperity demanded that it play a role in shaping the international order. It is only in recent days\, under the leadership of Donald Trump\, that Republican isolationists have prevailed over their internationalist opponents in the party. \nCharles Delgadillo traces William Allen White’s (1868-1944) trajectory as one of the founding fathers of liberal Republican internationalism.  White achieved national fame with his conservative Emporia Gazette editorial “What’s the Matter with Kansas?” but he quickly evolved into a progressive Republican and later into a New Deal liberal. White fought for an active American role in the world\, from his early explorations with the global progressive movement during the 1900s to his efforts to generate public support for the Allies during World War II. The final battle of White’s life was fought to cement the supremacy of internationalism over isolationism in the Republican Party.  White’s role in advancing liberal Republican internationalism\, his perception of the isolationist threat\, and his colorful life make him a fascinating case study in the age of “America First.” \nThe event is sponsored by the Center for Cold War Studies and International History and cosponsored by the Department of History. \nCharles Delgadillo is an Instructor in History at the California State Polytechnic University\, Pomona. He earned his PhD in History at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, in 2010\, and his dissertation examined a cohort of four liberals who grappled with America’s rise as a world power between the World Wars. The work yielded two journal articles and Crusader for Democracy: The Political Life of William Allen White\, which is Delgadillo’s first book. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Talk by Neil Maher: Cold War Star Wars: The New Left and the Space Race During the Vietnam War
DESCRIPTION:In the mid-1960s\, NASA began building space technologies for the war in Vietnam. Students from the New Left vigorously protested against the space agency\, which responded in the early 1970s by scrapping several of its military projects and instead developing satellites that could collect useful ecological data on natural resources around the world.  Soon scientists\, engineers\, and politicians from Latin America\, Africa\, and Asia—including even Vietnam—were cooperating with the U.S. government to acquire satellite data about their countries’ natural resources. The Soviets did similarly with their own space technology and developing communist nations. The result was a more subtle\, but still hegemonic\, superpower rivalry \nNeil M. Maher is Associate Professor in the Federated History Department at the New Jersey Institute of Technology and Rutgers University at Newark\, where he teaches environmental history and political history.  He has published widely in academic and has edited a collection of essays by historians\, scientists\, and policy analysts titled New Jersey’s Environments: Past\, Present\, and Future (Rutgers University Press\, 2006). His first monograph\, Nature’s New Deal: The Civilian Conservation Corps and the Roots of the American Environmental Movement (Oxford University Press\, 2008)\, received the Charles A. Weyerhaeuser Book Award for the best monograph in conservation history. He has recently completed his second book\, tentatively titled Ground Control: How Apollo Scrubbed the Age of Aquarius (Harvard University Press\, 2017)\, which will examine how efforts to put humans on the Moon influenced the social and political movements of the “long 1960s.” \nDownload the Event Flyer

SUMMARY:Hussein Ibish\, Anxious Allies: The Arab Gulf States and the Iran Nuclear Deal
DESCRIPTION:Event Description: \nIsrael’s opposition to the Iran nuclear deal is well-known. But how are other U.S. allies in the Middle East\, especially Arab Gulf states like Saudi Arabia\, the UAE\, Qatar and Kuwait\, reacting to the agreement? Are the Sunni Arab countries on a collision course with Iran and its allies\, or is some degree of accommodation possible? Dr. Hussein Ibish examines these and similar questions\, and considers policy options facing the United States. \n  \nHussein Ibish is a Senior Resident Scholar at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington. He is a regular contributor to The National (UAE)\, The International New York Times\, and many other U.S. and Middle Eastern publications. He is the author What’s Wrong With the One-State Agenda? Why Ending the Occupation and Peace with Israel is Still the Palestinian National Goal (American Task Force on Palestine\, 2009). From 2001 to 2008 Dr. Ibish was the editor and principal author of three major studies of hate crimes and discrimination against Arab Americans\, commissioned by the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. He co-authored (with Ali Abunimah) The Palestinian Right of Return (ADC\, 2001) and co-edited (with Saliba Sarsar) Principles and Pragamatism (Verso\, 2006). Ibish previously served as a senior fellow at the American Task Force on Palestine\, as executive director of the Hala Salaam Maksoud Foundation for Arab-American Leadership from 2004 to 2009\, and as communications director for the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. \n  \nEvent Flyer:
