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:VIRTUAL TALK: Alan Liu\, "Friending the Past: The Sense of History in the Digital Age"
DESCRIPTION:Alan Liu (English\, UCSB)\, Friending the Past: The Sense of History in the Digital Age\n \nDate/Time: Monday\, May 4 from 11am-12pm PST\n \nAbstract: “Can today’s society\, increasingly captivated by a constant flow of information\, share a sense of history? How did our media-making forebears balance the tension between the present and the absent\, the individual and the collective\, the static and the dynamic—and how do our current digital networks disrupt these same balances? Can our social media\, with its fleeting nature\, even be considered social at all? In Friending the Past\, Alan Liu proposes fresh answers to these innovative questions of connection. He explores how we can learn from the relationship between past societies whose media forms fostered a communal and self-aware sense of history. Interlaced among these inquiries\, Liu shows how extensive ‘network archaeologies’ can be constructed as novel ways of thinking about our affiliations with time and with each other.\n \nAttendance Request Form: If you’re interested in attending this virtual talk\, please click on the following URL and fill out the following attendance request form. During the days leading up to the presentation\, the event’s host\, Brian J Griffith\, will send you the schedule\, along with a Zoom meeting URL and accompanying password.\n \nURL: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdYDHH0i7fZ0MZInNacm1pl6iOPGR9qsuHHDyIE_-5EqPQRvA/viewform

SUMMARY:Humanities Decanted--W. Patrick McCray\, "Making Art Work: How Cold War Engineers and Artists Forged a New Creative Culture"
DESCRIPTION:The IHC‘s Humanities Decanted series invites all to a dialogue between Patrick McCray (History) and Alan Liu (English) about McCray’s new book\, Making Art Work: How Cold War Engineers and Artists Forged a New Creative Culture (MIT Press\, 2020). Audience Q&A will follow. \nDespite C. P. Snow’s warning\, in 1959\, of an unbridgeable chasm between the humanities and the sciences\, engineers and scientists of that era enthusiastically collaborated with artists to create visually and sonically interesting multimedia works. This new artwork emerged from corporate laboratories\, artists’ studios\, publishing houses\, art galleries\, and university campuses and it involved some of the biggest stars of the art world. Less famous and often overlooked were the engineers and scientists who contributed time\, technical expertise\, and aesthetic input to these projects. These figures included the rocket engineer-turned-artist Frank J. Malina\, MIT’s Gyorgy Kepes\, and Billy Klüver\, a Swedish-born engineer at Bell Labs who helped establish the New York–based group Experiments in Art and Technology. This book restores the role of technologists to the foreground\, explores the era’s hybrid creative culture\, and recounts the many ways that artists\, engineers\, and curators have collaborated over the past fifty years. Making Art Work shows that the borders of art and technology over the past half century are anything but fixed. Just as striking is that the original ideals and ambitions that animated the 1960s-era art-and-technology movement have not faded. Today\, creativity\, collaborations\, and interdisciplinary research are promoted by academic and corporate leaders alike. What emerges is a long history of artists and technologists who have repeatedly built new creative communities in which they can exercise imagination\, invention\, and expertise. \nW. Patrick McCray is a professor in the Department of History at UC Santa Barbara where his research\, writing\, and teaching focus on the histories of technology and science. Originally trained as a scientist\, he is the author or editor of six books. McCray’s 2013 book\, The Visioneers: How an Elite Group of Scientists Pursued Space Colonies\, Nanotechnologies\, and a Limitless Future\, won the Watson Davis Prize in 2014 from the History of Science Society as the “best book written for a general audience.” \nRegistration is required in advance.

SUMMARY:Nicole Archambeau\, "War\, Plague & Confession: Stories of Survival from Fourteenth-Century Provence"
DESCRIPTION:The History Department is proud to welcome back alumna Dr. Nicole Archambeau (History\, Colorado State University) for a virtual talk based on her new book Souls under Siege: Stories of War\, Plague\, and Confession in Fourteenth-Century Provence. You can read a glowing review of Souls under Siege in the Los Angeles Review of Books. \nDr. Archambeau’s book and talk draw on a rich evidentiary base of 68 narrative testimonials from the canonization inquest for Countess Delphine de Puimichel\, which was held in the market town of Apt in 1363. Each witness in the inquest had lived through outbreaks of plague in 1348 and 1361\, as well as violence inflicted by mercenaries unemployed during truces in the Hundred Years’ War. Faced with an unprecedented cascade of crises\, the inhabitants of Provence relied on saints and healers\, their worldview connecting earthly disease and disaster to the struggle for their eternal souls. Their testimonies unexpectedly reveal the importance of faith and the role of affect in the healing of both body and soul. \nAdvance registration is required for this event. You can sign up here. \nClick here to download the flyer for Dr. Archambeau’s talk.

SUMMARY:History Faculty John W. I. Lee on IHC's Humanities Decanted: on his new book The First Black Archaeologist: A Life of John Wesley Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:The Interdisciplinary Humanities Center is hosting a dialogue between John W. I. Lee (History) and Krzysztof Janowicz (Geography) about Lee’s new book\, The First Black Archaeologist: A Life of John Wesley Gilbert. Audience Q&A will follow. \nThe First Black Archaeologist reveals the untold story of a pioneering African American classical scholar\, teacher\, community leader\, and missionary. Born into slavery in rural Georgia\, John Wesley Gilbert (1863-1923) gained national prominence in the early 1900s\, but his accomplishments are little known today. Using evidence from archives across the U.S. and Europe\, from contemporary publications\, and from newly discovered documents\, this book chronicles\, for the first time\, Gilbert’s remarkable journey. As we follow Gilbert from the segregated public schools of Augusta\, Georgia\, to the lecture halls of Brown University\, to his hiring as the first black faculty member of Augusta’s Paine Institute\, and through his travels in Greece\, western Europe\, and the Belgian Congo\, we learn about the development of African American intellectual and religious culture\, and about the enormous achievements of an entire generation of black students and educators. \n  \nWhen: February 10th\, 2022 @ 4:00 – :5:30 PM \nWhere: McCune Conference Room\, 6020 HSSB

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: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:Book talk by Salim Yaqub: Winds of Hope\, Storms of Discord\, Wed\, May 3\, 4–5:15 pm\, HSSB 6020
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, May 3\, from 4 pm to 5:15 pm in the McCune Room (HSSB 6020)\, the Center for Cold War Studies and International History will host a talk by Salim Yaqub. I’ll be talking about my new book\, Winds of Hope\, Storms of Discord: The United States since 1945. \n \n\nProfessor Salim Yaqub discusses his new book\, Winds of Hope\, Storms of Discord: The United States since 1945\, which traverses the broad sweep of postwar U.S. history. It explores how Americans of all walks of life—political leaders\, businesspeople\, public intellectuals\, workers\, students\, activists\, migrants\, and others—struggled to define the nation’s political\, economic\, geopolitical\, demographic\, and social character. The book chronicles the nation’s ceaseless ferment\, from the rocky conversion to peacetime in the early aftermath of World War II; to the frightening emergence of the Cold War and repeated U.S. military adventures abroad; to the struggles of African Americans and other minorities to claim a share of the American Dream; to the striking transformations in social attitudes catalyzed by the women’s movement and struggles for gay and lesbian liberation; to the dynamic force of political\, economic\, and social conservatism. Carrying the story to the spring of 2022\, Winds of Hope also shows how dizzying technological changes at times threatened to upend the nation’s civic and political life. \nSalim Yaqub received his Ph.D. in U.S. history from Yale University in 1999. He is now Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, and Director of UCSB’s Center for Cold War Studies and International History. He is the author of three books: Containing Arab Nationalism: The Eisenhower Doctrine and the Middle East (University of North Carolina Press\, 2004)\, Imperfect Strangers: Americans\, Arabs\, and U.S.–Middle East Relations in the 1970s (Cornell University Press\, 2016)\, and Winds of Hope\, Storms of Discord: The United States since 1945 (Cambridge University Press\, 2023). Professor Yaqub has also written several articles and book chapters on the history of U.S. foreign relations\, the international politics of the Middle East\, and Arab American political activism. \n\n \nThe talk is free and open to the public\, and delicious refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Stephan Miescher\, A Dam for Africa
DESCRIPTION:In A Dam for Africa historian Stephan Miescher explores four intersecting narratives that weave together around Akosombo: Ghanaian aspirations about building a hydroelectric dam in the context of decolonization and Cold War; international efforts of the US aluminum industry in benefiting from Akosombo through subsidizing the VALCO aluminum smelter; local stories of upheaval and devastation in resettlement towns; and a nation-wide quest toward electrification and energy justice during times of economic crises\, droughts\, and climate change. This book and its accompanying documentary film Ghana’s Electric Dreams (R. Lane Clark and Stephan F. Miescher\, co-produced with France Winddance Twine) tell the stories of Akosombo from multiple perspectives by foregrounding a range of historical actors.

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:Juan Cobo Betancourt\, "The Coming of the Kingdom: The Muisca\, Catholic Reform\, and Spanish Colonialism in the New Kingdom of Granada
DESCRIPTION:Book Presentation: “The Coming of the Kingdom: The Muisca\, Catholic Reform\, and Spanish Colonialism in the New Kingdom of Granada” \nJuan Cobo Betancourt UC Santa Barbara | Associate Professor of History  \nCommentator: Yanna Yannakakis Emory University | Professor of History \nThe Coming of the Kingdom explores the experiences of the Indigenous Muisca peoples of the New Kingdom of Granada (Colombia) during the first century of Spanish colonial rule. Focusing on colonialism\, religious reform\, law\, language\, and historical writing\, Juan F. Cobo Betancourt examines the introduction and development of Christianity among the Muisca\, who from the 1530s found themselves at the center of the invaders’ efforts to transform them into tribute-paying Catholic subjects of the Spanish crown. The book explores how successive generations of missionaries and administrators approached the task of drawing the Muisca peoples to Catholicism at a time when it was undergoing profound changes\, and how successive generations of the Muisca interacted with the practices and ideas that the invaders attempted to impose\, variously rejecting or adopting them\, transforming and translating them\, and ultimately making them their own.

SUMMARY:History Associates Talk by Professor Anthony Barbieri on "Beyond the Mountains and Seas: Eurasian History through Travelers’ Eyes (400 BCE-1936 CE)"
DESCRIPTION:The History associates brings to you a talk by Professor Anthony Barbieri off the department of history on his latest book. The talk narrates the integrated history of Eurasia over the last two millennia through the travel of two dozen remarkable men and women who voyaged across this vast continent and reported on their encounters with a foreign culture.  It argues that\, despite increasing empirical knowledge gathered about   the “other\,” mental projections of the “monsters at the edge of the world\,” still colored peoples’ perception of the foreign “other” well into the modern era. \n

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
