SUMMARY:Beyond the New Deal Order Conference
DESCRIPTION:Conference Description:\nWhen Steve Fraser and Gary Gerstle edited The Rise and Fall of the New Deal Order in 1989\, they made the concept of a political and social “order” central to an interpretative framework that reperiodized U.S. history\, from the election of Franklin Roosevelt\, through Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society and on to the Ronald Reagan’s victory in 1980. The New Deal was not just a presidential moment\, but a far larger construction – a combination of ideas\, policies\, institutions\, cultural norms and electoral dynamics – that spanned several decades and sustained a hegemonic governing regime. The Rise and Fall of the New Deal Order  offered a unique way to conceptualize the history of social reform and political conflict in the 20th century\, and it quickly emerged as the dominant narrative within and against which a new generation of scholars have sought to investigate the foundation\, evolution\, limits and decline of the New Deal. More than a quarter century after the book’s appearance\, the concept of a multi-decade\, political-social New Deal order still pervades our historical understanding of 20th century America. \n  \nOur conference\, “Beyond the New Deal Order\,” draws upon the new ways of thinking about politics\, ideas\, economy\, gender\, race and ethnicity\, and the U.S. role in the world that have emerged in recent historical scholarship to interrogate the foundational suppositions put forward by Fraser\, Gerstle and their co-authors more than a quarter century ago. Is the concept of a New Deal order still a viable way of framing the reform impulses unleashed in the Depression decade and continuing through the 1960s and even after? How does the New Deal order fit into the larger sweep of American history\, including what historian Richard Hofstader once called “the American political tradition?” And finally\, did the New Deal order actually fall\, or\, given the demographic reconfiguration of the American electorate and the emergence of movements and coalitions organized outside or in opposition to the New Deal framework\, would “transformation” rather than “fall” be a better word to describe how such an order continues to function in the 21st century? \n  \nConference Details: \n\nThe registration fees are $20 for students and part-time workers\, and $60 for those employed full time. The registration fee will cover all of the food for the conference. Please make checks payable to the Regents of the University of California and mail to: Kristoffer Smemo\, Department of History\, Humanities and Social Sciences Building 4000\, University of California\, Santa Barbara\, Santa Barbara CA\, 93106-9410.

SUMMARY:Shape Shifters: Journeys Across Terrains of Race and Identity
DESCRIPTION:Conference\, Shape Shifters: Journeys Across Terrains of Race and Identity\, to be held in UCSB’s McCune Conference Center\, March 18-20. Forty scholars from three continents will be on hand. \n\nConference Website\nConference Poster\n\nSpeakers\nPlease join us for two public lectures in the McCune Conference Room (HSSB 6020): \n\nFriday\, March 18\, 9:30-10:30\, Paul Spickard of UCSB’s History Department will present “Not Passing—Shape Shifting: Reflections on Racial Plasticity”\nSaturday\, March 19\, 1:15-2:00\, Angelica Pesarini of Lancaster University’s Sociology Department will present “‘You were too white! I was ashamed!’ Interstitial Negotiations of Blackness in Fascist East Africa”\n\nAbout\nWe are accustomed to thinking of identities—racial\, ethnic\, national\, gendered\, religious—as if they were permanent\, essential\, unalterable features of individuals and groups. A is Black\, B is Jewish\, C is Chinese\, and so are all of the members of their respective families and kin groups\, and so must they remain. Over the last couple of decades\, theorists have begun to posit hybrid identities\, betwixt and between received categories. But still they have pictured these hybrids as more or less static entities in a middle zone. In a new development\, quite recently\, some scholars have begun to see such identities as at least sometimes fluid\, ambiguous\, contingent\, multiple\, and malleable. Those are the scholars who will inhabit this conference. \nThe people about whom these scholars write\, whose lives are the subject of this conference and this book\, are shape shifters. At different times in their lives\, or over generations in their families\, as they have moved from one social context to another\, or as new social contexts have been imposed on them\, their identities have changed from one group to another. This is not racial\, ethnic\, or religious imposture. It is simply the way that people’s lives have unfolded in fluid social circumstances. \nAmong the kinds of forces that have created such fluid social circumstances are migration\, borderlands\, trade\, warfare\, occupation\, colonial imposition\, the creation and dissolution of states and empires\, shifting national and imperial boundaries\, and forcible removal of peoples from their homelands. Each of the stories told in this conference and in this book is intrinsically fascinating. Each also illuminates the ways that individuals have lived their lives and negotiated their social positions amidst one or more of these major forces of social change. We want to understand what happens in the lives of such shape shifters\, and what are the varieties of work that this shape shifting is doing.

SUMMARY:Gender and Intimacy Across the U.S-Mexico Borderlands
DESCRIPTION:A Workshop at UC Santa Barbara\nKeynote Speaker\nDr. Alexandra Minna Stern\, Professor of American Culture\, Women’s Studies\, History\, and Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Michigan\, will provide they keynote talk on “Gender and Intimacy Across the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands.” Author of Eugenic Nation: Faults and Frontiers of Better Breeding in America\, 2d. ed. (UC Press\, 2015) and Telling Genes: The Story of Genetic Counseling in America (John Hopkins University Press\, 2012) as well as numerous articles on the history of public health in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands\, Professor Stern is a leading voice in unraveling the dynamics of gender\, sexuality\, race\, ethnicity\, disability\, social difference\, and reproductive politics in the United States and Latin America. \nImage at right. Photo credit: Jae C. Hong – Design: Ebers Garcia  \n\nAbout the Workshop\n\n\nIn recent years\, scholars from across a variety of disciplinary fields have initiated studies exploring gender and intimacy across the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. Some of the most exciting and innovating work has begun to examine how notions of gender as well as masculinity and femininity shape emotional and personal relations with partners\, spouses\, children\, and extended family members and how those relationships\, in turn\, impact their experiences with migration\, community formation\, and their interactions with the state\, among other topics. \nBuilding on this rich emerging literature\, we solicit proposals for papers that explore deeply and widely themes of gender and intimacy as well as sexuality and identity in/on and across the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. We define gender and intimacy broadly. While we consider gender as the social and cultural roles assigned to biological males and females that construct them as a multiplicity of feminine and masculine subjects\, we treat intimacy as an emotional and personal expression of love and desire as well as affection between two or more people that is performed or enacted across a variety of spaces\, places\, and relationships\, including marriage\, courtship\, and the family as well as in homosocial relations and contexts. We also treat the U.S.-Mexico borderlands loosely\, regarding it as a region of diverse social\, political\, economic\, and cultural interactions\, inconsistencies\, contradictions\, conflicts\, and violence\, that is bisected by an international boundary separating and joining peoples of different genders\, races\, ethnicities\, classes\, and sexual orientations. \nTopics of Interest Include \n\nCourtship\, marriage\, and migration in the borderlands\nGender\, race\, and ethnicity in the borderlands\nFamily and community formation in the borderlands\nSexuality and intimacy in the borderlands\nSexual violence in the borderlands\nState power and practices regulating gender and intimacy in the borderlands\nMasculinity and manhood in the borderlands\nQueer bodies in the borderlands\nQueer and transgender activists and activism in the borderlands\n\nGoals of the Workshop\nOur goals are to bring together scholars of all ranks (including graduate students) who are willing to share their work\, provide constructive feedback to fellow presenters\, and publish their papers. After the workshop\, we plan to invite all participants to submit revised papers for consideration in a Special Issue of the Pacific Historical Review\, pending peer and editorial review. Note: The editor of the journal will attend the workshop to see the work in progress. \nLogistics of the Workshop & Keynote Speaker\nAll selected workshop participants will receive complimentary accommodations for one night near the UCSB campus. Transportation between the accommodations and the UCSB campus will also be provided. Dinner the evening before the event as well as a continental breakfast and lunch the day of the event are also included. Transportation costs to UCSB from home institutions are not included. \n\nSchedule\n\n\nSCHEDULE\nSeptember 30\, 2016\n\n5:00-5:15 pm: Welcome & Introduction\, Sharon Farmer\, Chair & Professor\, History\n5:15-6:00 pm: Keynote Speaker\, Dr. Alexandra M.

SUMMARY:Suez at Sixty: Remembering the Suez Crisis and War of 1956
DESCRIPTION:This fall marks the 60th anniversary of the Suez War of 1956\, a pivotal moment in Egyptian\, Middle Eastern\, and international history. In response to Egypt’s nationalization of the Suez Canal Company\, Britain\, France\, and Israel launched a coordinated military assault against Egypt. The United States\, the Soviet Union\, and much of the international community strongly opposed this move\, eventually compelling the aggressors to withdraw their forces from Egypt. These events signaled a new complexity in the Cold War and hastened the decline of British and French empire in the Arab world\, permitting the United States and the Soviet Union to increase their own involvement in the region while also accelerating the broader decolonization movement. \nSmoke rises from oil tanks beside the Suez Canal; November 1956\nTo bring out these areas of significance and connection\, members of the UCSB community will host a two-day program of events: \nOn THURSDAY\, OCTOBER 20\, at 7:30 PM in HSSB 6020\, we will screen the BBC documentary film “The Other Side of Suez\,” a riveting reconstruction of the Suez Crisis and War that brings out the perspectives of numerous international actors: Egypt\, Israel\, Britain\, France\, the United States\, the Soviet Union\, and other nations. Following the documentary\, which runs for one hour\, Professor Joel Gordon of the University of Arkansas will lead a discussion of the issues raised by the film. \nOn FRIDAY\, OCTOBER 21\, from 1:30 to 5:30 PM in the UNIVERSITY CENTER HARBOR ROOM\, we will host a series of insightful academic talks by a diverse array of scholars\, from UCSB and elsewhere\, each focusing on a different aspect of the Suez Crisis and its legacy. The speakers include: \n\nJennifer Derr\, Assistant Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\nMuriam Haleh Davis\, Assistant Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\nJoel Gordon\, Professor of History and Director of the King Fahd Center at the University of Arkansas\nDwight Reynolds\, Professor of Religious Studies\, UCSB\nSherene Seikaly\, Associate Professor of History\, UCSB\nSalim Yaqub\, Professor of History\, UCSB\n\nA more detailed schedule of the Friday talks is available here \nBoth events are free and open to the public. Delicious refreshments\, also free of charge\, will be served.

SUMMARY:Critical Race Theory and The Health Sciences
DESCRIPTION:This symposium\, organized in part by UCSB History and Black Studies Professor Terence Keel\, will explore the embedded nature of race in the health sciences and identify opportunities to disrupt and rethink these arrangements in pursuit of racial justice and health equity. We will examine the interconnected histories of science\, medicine\, and law that lead racial differences and disparities to be mistakenly understood and experienced as natural phenomena\, obscuring their social\, political\, and economic determinants. We will also discuss the theoretical and empirical interventions that bring attention to the constructed nature of our racial imaginations in the health sciences. Additionally\, the methodological challenges associated with developing intersectional approaches that do not obscure (and indeed support) the centrality of other identity standpoints—such as sex\, gender\, class\, sexuality\, and disability—when exploring race in health sciences research will be considered through the symposium presentations and discussions. \nAll—including faculty\, students\, and the general public—are welcome to attend the symposium on Friday\, January 20\, 2017. For academic questions\, contact the AJLM Symposium editors at ajlmsymposium@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Criminalizing Immigrant Families:  Race\, Gender\, and Family Separations at the U.S.-Mexico Border
DESCRIPTION:Race and gender have shaped the law\, public policy\, and the emotional and physical experiences of migration throughout history.  At the present moment\, however\, shifting patterns of migration and the current administration’s use of family separation as a deterrent has led to an intense struggle to define migration\, the migrant\, and the family.

SUMMARY:Conference: Realisms in East Asian Performing Arts
DESCRIPTION:Realisms in East Asian Performing Arts proposes new considerations of realism on stage. Since its association with 19th-century innovations in European and American drama\, theatrical realism has largely remained limited to Euro-American definitions. We explore conventions of realism in culturally-specific locations and times across East Asia\, articulating alternative histories of realism that extend from the premodern into the present. Through our individual inquiries\, we aim to broaden the term’s analytic power and shed collective light on the diversity and versatility of this important representational mode. The conference will end with a play reading performed by LAUNCH PAD\, UCSB. \nView the complete schedule and conference information at www.realismseastasia.com. You can download the informational flyer here: Realisms in East Asian Performing Arts.

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.)

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
