SUMMARY:Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture 2026 : "Reading Galileo's Letters:  Experiments in Friendship\, Knowledge\, and Community" by Paula Findlen
DESCRIPTION:Paula Findlen\, Ubalto Pierotti Professor in History and Italian Studies at Stanford University will be delivering The Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture of 2026. Her talk will be on Tuesday\, January 27 at 4:30 pm in the McCune Room\, HSSB 6020. Her talk is titled:\n“Reading Galileo’s Letters:  Experiments in Friendship\, Knowledge\, and Community”\n \nAbstract:\nGalileo’s letters are an essential archive for understanding his life and work\, but what exactly was their role in the evolution and presentation of his science?  This talk explores the instrumental role of Galileo’s letters in the production and communication of scientific knowledge and the evolution of the scientific community with which he engaged.  It also explores the role of letters in the controversies surrounding his science and discusses why we should see Galileo’s letters as one of his important experiments.

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.

SUMMARY:Juan Cobo Betancourt\, "Christianity\, Colonialism\, & the Muisca peoples of the Northern Andes"
DESCRIPTION:Public Lecture: Juan Cobo Betancourt\, “Christianity\, Colonialism\, & the Muisca peoples of the Northern Andes” \nAlhecama Theatre\, 215 E. Canon Perdido Street\, located in El Presidio de Santa Bárbara State Historic Park \nFree and open to the public. RSVP to historyassociates@ia.ucsb.edu \nHow does colonialism work without a strong colonial state? How does religious conversion work without an effective missionary project? How can historians work with an archive full of fictions? Taking the history of the Muisca peoples of the Northern Andes of what is now Colombia\, who from the 1530s found themselves at the centre of efforts by Europeans to transform them into Catholic\, tribute-paying vassals of the Spanish crown\, this talk explores the complex and contradictory ways in which Christianity\, Spanish colonialism\, and Indigenous politics came together to produce a new kind of society to the disappointment of everyone involved. \nJuan Cobo Betancourt is Associate Professor of History and Director\nof the Latin American and Iberian Studies Program and\nCenter for Latin American and Iberian Research at UC Santa\nBarbara. He has written three books on questions of religion\,\nrace\, law\, and language in colonial Latin America.

SUMMARY:History and Political Economy Colloquium with Prof. Adam Sabra
DESCRIPTION:The colloquium offers a forum for open\, substantive discussions on how to approach political economy from a historical perspective; how to grapple with and benefit from the epistemological diversity surrounding political economy; and how a historical take on political economy can help contextualize and address urgent contemporary issues– at UCSB\, in Santa Barbara/Southern California\, in the U.S.\, and around the world – ranging from rent\, inflation\, and student debt to deepening\, racialized inequality. For that purpose\, we will center our own research and put our work into conversation across geographical\, chronological\, and field boundaries.  \nAt our sixth meeting\, we will discuss “Local Power\, Empire\, and Political Economy ” with Professor Adam Sabra. \nPlease note that this session will take place in HSSB 4065.  \nIn preparation for the meeting\, please contact Professor Manuel Covo for the materials. Everyone is welcome. Light refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:History Associates Talk | Lisa Jacobson "The Potent Politics of Weak Brews: How 3.2% Beer Helped End Prohibition"  |  Apr 6\, 5:30 PM  |  Draughtsmen Aleworks
DESCRIPTION: \nTo commemorate the 90th anniversary of beer’s re-legalization in the United States\, Lisa Jacobson will explain how a coalition of brewers\, scientists\, and labor leaders persuaded Congress that a beer capable of producing a mild euphoria could be legalized without violating the 18th Amendment’s ban on intoxicating beverages. Insisting that alcohol potency alone did not determine intoxication\, this anti-prohibitionist coalition promoted new understandings of pleasure and risk that have long since influenced how alcohol is regulated and sold in the United States.\nLisa Jacobson is an Associate Professor of History at UC Santa Barbara. She hopes that her book Fashioning New Cultures of Drink: The Reinvention of Wine\, Beer\, and Whiskey after Prohibition will be available for pre-order by the 91st anniversary of beer’s re-legalization.\n \nDownload the flyer here: Potent Politics of Weak Brews_2.24

SUMMARY:Cold War Working Group Workshop | Nick Cohen "Forging an International Backstop: Commercial Banking\, Foreign Policy\, and the Empowerment of the IMF\, 1973-1981" | Mar 4\, 11 AM
DESCRIPTION:When: Saturday\, March 4\, 11 AM to 12:30 PM \nWhere: West Campus Point Faculty Housing Community’s Outdoor Plaza \nThe Center for Cold War Studies and International History (CCWS) and the Cold War Working Group (CWWG) will host an in-person workshop at the West Campus Point faculty housing community’s outdoor plaza. We will be reading and discussing a paper\, “Forging an International Backstop: Commercial Banking\, Foreign Policy\, and the Empowerment of the IMF\, 1973-1981\,” by Nick Cohen\, a doctoral candidate in the UCSB history department.  \nAbstract: How were the practice and image of commercial banking reinvented alongside the expansion and empowerment of the International Monetary Fund in the decade preceding the global debt crisis of the 1980s? Historians of both business and foreign relations in the 1970s have rightly emphasized the instrumental role played by the Oil Shocks in facilitating the resurgence of global finance and remaking the global balance of power in an era of interdependence. Examining the history of US commercial banking alongside the rise of the IMF\, this paper argues that global financialization was also contingent upon a sort of Polanyian double-movement\, in which the explosion in the size and power of private international capital markets relied on the concurrent empowerment of the international institution meant to backstop such lending. In the wake of the first oil shock\, commercial banks doubled down on the lucrative new business of lending to developing nations in the global south and eastern bloc eager for funds to cope with ballooning balance-of-payments deficits. In response to this same balance-of-payments problem\, the IMF began to increase in size and capability through the introduction and gradual expansion of the so-called “Witteveen Facility.” By examining political debates in the United States concerning the regulation of international finance this paper demonstrates that for US policymakers questions over US contributions to the IMF and the role of private American banks overseas were often one in the same. By the end of the 1970s\, moreover\, commercial bankers had become some of the most vocal advocates for expanding IMF resources. By examining archival material from the Carter administration and the IMF\, the papers of notorious Citibank chief Walter Wriston\, and congressional records\, this paper straddles the line between political economy and diplomatic history. \n  \nThe CWWG is a collaborative\, graduate student-led group designed to provide a supportive\, welcoming environment for graduate students working on or around the Cold War and international history. CWWG workshops provide an occasion for graduate students\, faculty\, and others to join together as peers to read and provide feedback on scholarly work in progress (dissertation chapters\, journal articles\, conference papers\, etc.) by members of our community. We strongly encourage other UCSB graduate students and faculty members to consider submitting their own work for discussion in future workshops.

SUMMARY:IHC RFG Talk | Lee Vinsel | US Policymaking and the Promises of Technology in the 1990S’ “New Economy”
DESCRIPTION:On April 5th\, 2000\, President William Clinton stepped to the microphone at the White House Conference on the New Economy and told those gathered that the United States was experiencing “an economic transformation as profound as that that led us into the industrial revolution.” The 1990s was a heady moment for chatter about technological change\, especially around personal computers and the Internet. Microsoft CEO Bill Gates predicted Business @ the Speed of Thought\, as one of his book titles put it\, and Wired writer Kevin Kelly argued that the Internet would lead to the dematerialization of the economy. This “irrational exuberance” would eventually end in the dot com bust\, but not before members of the Clinton administration used projections around “the New Economy” to justify a number of decisions that would have far-reaching ramifications\, including policies around telecommunications\, labor and trade\, education and training\, student loans\, and economic\, racial\, and gender inequality. \nIn this talk\, Lee Vinsel will build on recent work on the history of the Clinton White House and political economy\, including Margaret O’Mara’s The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America and Nelson Lichtenstein and Judith Stein’s forthcoming\, A Fabulous Failure: The Clinton Presidency and the Transformation of American Capitalism. Vinsel will ask what can be gained for this literature by focusing on technology\, both the actual material change taking place in the 1990s and\, perhaps most importantly\, the ideas and fantasies surrounding the concept “technology\,” which greatly outpaced reality. \nLee Vinsel is Associate Professor of Science\, Technology and Society at Virginia Tech. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Machines\, People\, and Politics Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Conference May 20-21: "Work\, Capitalism\, and Democracy: Past\, Present\, and Future"
DESCRIPTION:The Center for the Study of Work\, Labor and Democracy hosts a conference\, May 20 and 21\, 2022 entitled: “Work\, Capitalism\, and Democracy: Past\, Present\, and Future.” \nIt will be held in the McCune Room\, HSSB 6020. Many former students and contemporary colleagues of Nelson Lichtenstein will deliver papers on a wide variety of topics bearing on the conference theme. \nWork\, capitalism\, and democracy. Historians have spent decades considering their interwoven connections and how each has shaped and animated American politics\, economy\, and society. This conference interrogates the changing shape of historical work on these themes since the early 1980s\, when Center director Nelson Lichtenstein’s first book reshaped how a new generation of scholars thought about the struggle between workers\, capitalists\, and the state apparatus during World War II. Since the publication of Labor’s War at Home: The CIO in World War II\, labor history has been transformed from an exciting but discrete subject that probed working-class mentalities to an ever expanding interpretative approach than now encompasses the study of race\, gender\, capitalism\, social thought\, legal history and theory\, government social policy\, and partisan politics. Lichtenstein’s own work has tracked this scholarly advance: probing at various times and venues the social ecology of wildcat strikes\, the meaning of rights at work and in society\, the theory and practice of corporatism\, the rise and demise of the giant corporation\, the structures governing global supply chains\, and the promise and failure of liberal politics in 20th century America. Those making presentations and other interventions at the Work\, Capitalism\, and Democracy: Past\, Present\, and Future conference will offer fresh perspectives on these and many other themes taken from their own research and that of the new generation of historians of which they are such a vital part.   \nFunding for this conference has come from UCSB’s graduate division\, history department\, Hull Chair of Feminist Studies\, College of Letters & Science\, Division of Humanities and Fine Arts\, and Center for the Study of Work\, Labor\, and Democracy. \nFULL SCHEDULE HERE.  \n

SUMMARY:IHC Regeneration Talk by Scott Ellsworth: The Tulsa Race Massacre: Causes\, Cover Up\, and the Fight for the Past
DESCRIPTION:The 1921 Tulsa race massacre was the worst single incident of racial violence in American history. But for decades its very existence was denied. Official records went missing\, incriminating articles were torn out of bound volumes of old newspapers\, and researchers even had their lives threatened. Award-winning author and historian Scott Ellsworth\, author of The Ground Breaking: An American City and Its Search for Justice\, unpacks the story of the massacre and the challenges it presents for racial justice today.  \nClick here for the flyer \nVisit the event page for more information: bit.ly/Ellsworth-IHC

SUMMARY:What Really Happened at Waco?
DESCRIPTION:The 51-day standoff between the FBI and David Koresh’s Branch \nDavidians ended in tragedy on April 19\, 1993. A fire consumed \nthe Branch Davidian compound during an FBI tear gas operation \nthat morning\, resulting in 75 deaths. To this day conspiracy \ntheories about Waco continue motivating anti-government and \nother militia movements in the United States. Join us for an inside \nlook at what really happened during the 51-day standoff between \nthe FBI and the Branch Davidians\, featuring former federal \nprosecutor Steve Zipperstein\, who served as Counselor to \nAttorney General Janet Reno during the Waco congressional \nhearings. \nSteve Zipperstein teaches at UCSB\, UCLA and Tel Aviv University. He served as a federal prosecutor in Los Angeles and at the Justice Department in Washington\, D.C. from 1987 to 1996. Former Attorney General Janet Reno appointed Zipperstein to co-lead the original Justice Department after-action investigation regarding the events at Waco. She also assigned Zipperstein to serve as her and the Justice Department’s lawyer for the Waco congressional hearings following the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. Following his government career\, Zipperstein served as the Chief Legal Officer for Verizon Wireless and BlackBerry Ltd. \n

SUMMARY:Susan Lederer\, "'Send My Body to the Medical College': Alternative Afterlives in Turn of the  Century America"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Susan Lederer\, Professor of the History of Medicine\, University of Wisconsin Madison will be giving a talk on Thursday\, January 9 at 5:30 pm entitled “‘Send My Body to the Medical College’: Alternative Afterlives in Turn of the Century America.” \nIn 1876 American and English newspapers reported the extraordinary will made by an American woman living in London. Inspired by Bentham’s 1832 bequest of his body\, Susan Fletcher Smith approached the Royal College of Surgeons with the proposal that\, upon her death\, her body be “completely dissected in the most thorough manner known to science.” Moreover\, she stipulated that preference be given to persons of the female sex who wished to inspect the body in the various stages of dissection. The President of the College agreed to accept her proposal. Smith’s donation was one of some 450 reported in the press in the years between 1870 and 1940. This talk explores how donating one’s remains to a medical institution was transformed in this period from a bizarre and macabre eccentricity into an exemplar of enlightened corporeal philanthropy. \nClick here to download the flyer for this event.

SUMMARY:Building a Green New Deal: Community\, Coalition\, Organizing for Environmental Justice: A Public Forum
DESCRIPTION:In communities\, classrooms\, and protest sites across the country\, people have embraced the call for a Green New Deal as a way of recognizing that climate change presents us with an unprecedented historic challenge—and the need for comprehensive and transformational reform. California’s Central Coast has a powerful tradition of grassroots activism to draw on in rising to the challenge\, from the wide-ranging environmental movement sparked by the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill to the multi-racial labor\, immigrant and indigenous people’s rights organizations leading the struggle for economic justice region-wide. Together\, these and allied organizations have formed the Central Coast Climate Justice Network\, a regional coalition dedicated to developing a collective vision and coalitional strategy for achieving holistic and intersectional environmental justice in our region. Featuring presentations from Network member organizations\, the aim of the forum is to launch a broad\, publicly engaged conversation about the need for transformational thought and action in response to the challenges of climate change\, and in the interest of a more equitable and resilient environmental future. \nCo-sponsored by: The Blum Center on Poverty\, Inequality\, and Democracy\, Environmental Studies Program\, Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, the Fund for Santa Barbara\, and the Central Coast Climate Justice Network

SUMMARY:"Agrarian Quests: The Search for Comunidades and Campesinos in Rural Peru\,”  a lecture by Javier Puente
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nThe history of twentieth-century Peru is the history of the rural countryside\, its governance\, and the making of comunidadesand campesinosas foundational elements of a social\, economic\, and political landscape. Throughout a number of decades\, domestic state powers and transnational capital turned lands and pastures into battlegrounds of ideas about labor\, property\, and modernization at large. In turn\, clashing visions of power placed comunidadesand campesinosat the center of their responses to enduring uncertainties and anxieties on the economic exploitation and sociopolitical control of the country. Hacendados\, engineers\, intellectuals\, corporations\, political parties\, the military\, among others\, contended and disputed the meaning of being a comunidadand a campesino. Ultimately\, a civil war brought the search to a violent end\, revealing the extent\, limitations\, and failures of the rural making of a nation-state. \nAbout  \nJAVIER PUENTE holds a Ph.D. from Georgetown University and currently serves as assistant professor of Andean history at the Instituto de Historia of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. \nThis lecture s presented as part of the LAIS 200 graduate seminar. It is free and open to the campus community. A small reception follows the talk. Students interested in discussing further Dr. Puente’s work after the reception are encouraged to contact the LAIS Program Director at mendez@lais.ucsb.edu to get the reading materials. \n*LAIS thanks the generous co-sponsorship of the Departments of History\, Global Studies\, and the Global Environmental Justice Project to this event. \n

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Isabella Gabrovsky on "Rethinking Britain" and Mario Tumen on "Decolonization of Taxation in Peru"
DESCRIPTION:The Workshop on Theoretical Perspectives on War\, Political Violence\, Nationalism and the State (History 291)  is pleased to invite you to its final open presentation and discussion this Friday May 26 from 3:00 to 5:30 pm  in HSSB 4020.  Two graduate students\, Isabella Gabrovsky and Mario Tumen\, will be presenting their work in progress on Britain and Peru. Please\, join the conversation. Their papers can be downloaded from the links below.  Everybody is welcome! \n“Rethinking Britain: An English identity Crisis in the Era of Devolution.” \nBy Isabella Gabrovsky. PhD student\, Political Science Department\, UCSB. \nThis paper (Gabrovsky Rethinking Britain rev) seeks to explore the rise of nationalist movements in the UK\, how they differfrom the global rise of the far-right\, and what changes in Westminster we might expect as a result. While the leftist Scottish National Party surged to become the second largest party in the UK\, there has been a rise of right-wing nationalist groups in England such as the UK Independence Party. Analysis of historical context will shed light on how these two diametrically opposed political ideologies expanded simultaneously. This is seen in the psephological maps of the 2015 General Election and the Brexit referendum. The current political climate in the UK\, where two separate nationalist movements are in power\, is unprecedented and more importantly\, unsustainable. The policies that arise during this time will determine not only what role the UK will play on a global stage\, but also\, if the UK will exist as a unitary state in the near future. There is a significant gap in the current political literature deconstructing the motivations behind these nationalist movements. This paper will address that void\, asses the potential political ramifications\, and provide possible policy prescriptions. Isabella Gabrovsky currently is a PhD student at UCSB in the Political Science department. She has previously worked in the Scottish Parliament. \n  \n“Decolonization of Taxation: Indigenous Peasants and the Civil War of 1895 in Peru” \nBy Mario Tumen. PhD student\, History Department\, UCSB \nBy looking at the civil war\, or the “Revolution of 1895” as it happened in the department of Ancash\, Peru\, this essay ( Tumen\, Decolonization of Taxation) analyzes the role indigenous peasants played in the abolition of the contribución personal\, a tax they had paid since colonial times. Through war\, they exercised their citizenship and influenced the distribution of power within the state. Yet\, the largest peasant insurrection of the nineteenth century\, the Atusparia Rebellion\, had shaken social order in the department ten years before. I argue that resilient efforts to abolish the contribución personal in 8 Ancash date back to 1885 and continued in the period leading up to Revolution of 1895. \nEverybody is welcome\, please spread the word! \n* * Coffee will be served. \nFor questions or comments\, please contact prof.

SUMMARY:The Politics of Rights and The 1911 Revolution in China\, a talk by Xiaowei Zheng
DESCRIPTION:The Workshop Theoretical Perspectives on War\, Political Violence\, Nationalism\, and the State (His 291) is pleased to present Xiaowei Zheng\, Associate Professor of History and East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies at UCSB\, who will speak about her forthcoming book with Stanford University Press\, The Politics of Rights and the 1911 Revolution in China.  The appointment is Friday May 19th from 3:00 to 4:30 pm\, in HSSB 3001E. \nProfessor Zheng’s presentation will focus on her books’ introduction and conclusions\, which can downloaded from the following links:  Zheng Introduction_coded_ED Feb 3 2017\, Zheng Conclusion_coded_ED Feb 3 2017 \nChina’s 1911 Revolution was a momentous political transformation. Its leaders\, however\, were not rebellious troublemakers on the periphery of imperial order. On the contrary\, they were a powerful political and economic elite deeply entrenched in local society and well-respected both for their imperially sanctioned cultural credentials and for their mastery of new ideas. The revolution they spearheaded produced a new\, democratic political culture that enshrined national sovereignty\, constitutionalism\, and the rights of the people as indisputable principles. Based upon previously untapped Qing and Republican sources\, The Politics of Rights and the 1911 Revolution in China is a nuanced and colorful chronicle of the revolution as it occurred in local and regional areas. Xiaowei Zheng explores the ideas that motivated the revolution\, the popularization of those ideas\, and their animating impact on the Chinese people at large. The focus of the book is not on the success or failure of the revolution\, but rather on the transformative effect that revolution has on people and what they learn from it. \nFor questions about this event please contact Prof. Cecilia Méndez at mendez@history.ucsb.edu.

SUMMARY:"Diplomacy as a Means of Political Survival: The Cities and Duchies of the Northern Holy Roman Empire in relation to France\, 1650–1730\," a talk by Indravati Félicité
DESCRIPTION:“Diplomacy as a Means of Political Survival: The Cities and Duchies of the Northern Holy Roman Empire in relation to France\, 1650–1730” \nTalk by Indravati Félicité\, Maîtresse de conférences\, Université Paris-Diderot (Paris VII)\nOctober 27 @ 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm in HSSB 4020 \nIndravati Félicité is the author of Négocier pour exister. Les villes et duchés du nord de l’Empire face à la France 1650–1730 (Berlin : Walter de Gruyter\, 2016). This talk analyzes France’s impact on the politics of the Hanseatic cities of Lübeck\, Bremen\, and Hamburg and the duchies of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp and Mecklenburg-Schwerin at the time of King Louis XIV. This was a period of change in the constitutional premises of the Holy Roman Empire. For these German “states” as well as for the diplomats and statesmen involved in these relations\, negotiation and diplomacy became a matter of life and death\, essential for safeguarding the existence of their governments. The place held by the diplomats in this process underlines the importance of their networks and reveals their contribution to the genesis of the early modern State.
