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:GIVE DAY 2023
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 13th\, 2023 is UCSB’s annual Give Day\, a 36-hour online fundraising event. Last year\, with the help of the community\, more people donated to the History Department than any other department in the entire division of Humanities and Fine Arts. We are proud and honored to enjoy that distinction\, and hope to repeat the achievement!\n\n \nThis year\, the History Department is partnering with the History Associates to raise funds for student support. Since 1987\, the History Associates has built a thriving\, collaborative community of esteemed scholars and passionate history buffs. Among the ranks are emeriti and current faculty\, staff\, graduate students\, alumni\, and local community members. (If you’re not a member already\, join today!) For decades\, History Associates has been hosting free public lectures\, arranging special events\, and supporting graduate students.\n \nThis Give Day\, we hope you’ll consider joining in those efforts by donating to the History Associates Graduate Fellowship. This fund helps students cover the cost of everything from travel to archives and conferences and research expenses\, to laptop repair and book purchases. In short\, our students succeed because of the generosity of the History Associates and donors like you.\n \nFor more information about GIVE DAY\, click here.

SUMMARY:History Associates talk by Elizabeth Depalma Digeser | "Constantine the Crusader: The Roman Emperor as Christian Soldier"
DESCRIPTION:Constantine I (306-37) was the first Roman Emperor to convert to Christianity. Almost two millennia later\, we may not be surprised that Constantine promoted an image of himself as a Christian military commandant. Nevertheless\, this image is strikingly opposed to the previous conception of the Christian hero\, that of the martyr\, a person known for enduring—not promoting—violence. This talk will explore why\, despite its novelty\, this new image of the emperor became one reason for Constantine’s long and ultimately stable reign. The longevity of this image\, in fact\, is testimony to its success\, as European monarchs from Charlemagne to Elizabeth I all strove to be the “new Constantine.” \nElizabeth DePalma Digeser is a professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Barbara and a leading authority on early Christian thought. Her focus is on the intersection of religion and philosophy with Roman politics and the process of religious conversion in late antiquity. Digeser is the author of The Making of a Christian Empire: Lactantius and Rome (2000) and A Threat to Public Piety: Christians\, Platonists\, and the Great Persecution (2012)\, which explores the interactions of Platonist philosophers and Christian theologians leading up to the Great Persecution of 303-311 CE. \nDate: Sunday\, April 16\, 2023 \nTime:  2:00 PM \nVenue: Goleta Valley Library\, Multipurpose Room 500 N. Fairview Avenue\, Goleta \nHistory Associates talks are free and open to the public. Light refreshments provided. Please RSVP to historyassociates@ia.ucsb.edu
