During this period\, France was also working out the repercussions of decolonization as families from former French colonies in Africa and Asia migrated to the metropole. Municipal technocrats and central state planners had to decide how migrant families fit into an emerging national vision for a modern France. An important feature of this vision was developing a welfare state which included the mass construction of modern housing. In the late 1950s\, many migrant families began to move into these large\, concrete\, Le Corbusier influenced housing projects on the fringes of French cities such as Marseille. This talk will situate recent debates about the “immigrant question” in the context of the developing post-1945 welfare state. In particular\, the talk will explore the broader contours of the debate through a discussion of slum clearance and re-housing practices in 1950s Marseille. \nhm 4/7/11 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/native-to-the-republic-citizenship-slum-clearance-and-social-welfare-in-1950s-marseille/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20110420T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20110420T000000 DTSTAMP:20260506T194700 CREATED:20150928T112829Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112829Z UID:10001950-1303257600-1303257600@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:From Victory Gardens to Urban Agriculture: Join the Garden Revolution DESCRIPTION:Hayden-Smith will present an in-depth look at the past and present of theVictory Garden movement.

Lipstadt offers a compelling reassessment of the groundbreaking trial that has become a touchstone for judicial proceedings throughout the world in which victims of genocide confront its perpetrators. \nThe capture of SS Lieutenant Colonel Adolf Eichmann by Israeli agents in Argentina in May of 1960 and his subsequent trial in Tel Aviv by an Israeli court electrified the world. The public debate it sparked on where\, how\, and by whom Nazi war criminals should be brought to justice\, and the international media coverage of the trial itself\, is recognized as a watershed moment in how the civilized world in general and Holocaust survivors in particular found the means to deal with the legacy of genocide on a scale that had never been seen before. \nIn The Eichmann Trial\, Lipstadt provides an overview of the trial and analyzes the dramatic effect that the testimony of survivors in a court of law– which was itself not without controversy– had on a world that had until then regularly commemorated the Holocaust but never fully understood the millions who died and the hundreds of thousands who managed to survive. As the world continues to confront the ongoing reality of genocide and ponder the fate of those who survive it\, this “trial of the century” offers a legal\, moral\, and political framework for coming to terms with unfathomable evil and with those who perpetrate it. In The Eichmann Trial\, Lipstadt infuses a gripping narrative with historical perspective and contemporary urgency. \nProfile of Speaker: \nDeborah E. Lipstadt is Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish History and Holocaust Studies at Emory University. Her book History on Trial: My Day in Court with David Irving (2005) is the story of her libel trial in London against David Irving\, who sued her for calling him a Holocaust denier and right wing extremist. The book has been described as a “fascinating and meritorious work of legal–and moral–history” (Kirkus). It won the National Jewish Book Award and was a finalist for the Koret Book Award. It was ranked by the editors at Amazon.com as number four on its list of top ten history books of 2005. \nThe Daily Telegraph (London) declared that Lipstadt’s trial had “done for the new century what the Nuremberg tribunals or the Eichmann trial did for earlier generations.” The Times (London) described it as “history has had its day in court and scored a crushing victory.” The judge found David Irving to be a Holocaust denier\, a falsifier of history\, a racist\, an antisemite\, and a liar. Her legal battle with Irving lasted approximately six years. According to The New York Times\, the trial “put an end to the pretense that Mr. Irving is anything but a self-promoting apologist for Hitler.” In July 2001 the Court of Appeal resoundingly rejected Irving’s attempt to appeal the judgment against him. \nAs an historical consultant to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum\, Lipstadt helped design the section of the Museum dedicated to the American Response to the Holocaust. \nLipstadt has been called upon by both President Bill Clinton and George W. Bush to represent the United States in several capacities. President Bush asked her to represent the White House at the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. In June 2007 President Bush appointed her to the American delegation to the OSCE (the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe) conference on combating intolerance and antisemitism. President Clinton appointed her to two consecutive terms on the United States Holocaust Memorial Council. She accompanied President and Mrs. Clinton on an official visit to Warsaw. President Clinton also appointed her to the United States State Department Advisory Committee on Religious Freedom Abroad. In this capacity she\, together with a small group of leaders and scholars\, advised Secretary of State Madeleine Albright on matters of religious persecution abroad. \nDr. Lipstadt has also written Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory (1993)\, the first full length study of those who deny the Holocaust. The book has been translated into German and Japanese. She has also written Beyond Belief: The American Press and the Coming of the Holocaust (1986). The book\, an examination of how the American press covered the news of the persecution of European Jewry between the years 1933 and 1945\, addresses the question “what did the American public know and when did they know it?” \nShe has taught at University of Washington\, UCLA and Occidental College in Los Angeles. In Spring 2006 she was a Visiting Professor at the Gregorian Pontifical University in Rome. She received her B.A. from City College of New York and her M.A. and Ph.D. from Brandeis University. \nLipstadt has appeared on BBC\, CNN\, CBS’s Sixty Minutes\, NBC’s Today Show\, ABC’s Good Morning America\, National Public Radio’s Fresh Air\, PBS’s Charlie Rose Show\, and the O’Reilly Factor. She is a frequent contributor to and is widely quoted in a variety of newspapers including the Los Angeles Times\, Washington Post\, New York Times\, and Chicago Tribune. \nShe has received numerous teaching awards including Emory’s student government association’s award for being the teacher most likely to motivate students to learn about new and unfamiliar topics and the Emory Williams Distinguished Teaching award\, for her courses on modern Jewish and Holocaust studies. Given to Emory’s outstanding teachers\, the award is based on nominations by alumni of the professor who has had the greatest impact on them. She has received Honorary Doctorates from Yeshiva University\, Bar Ilan University\, John Jay College of Criminal Justice\, and Hebrew Union College. \nSponsors: \nThe Herman P. and Sophia Taubman Foundation Endowed Symposia in Jewish Studies at UC Santa Barbara\,a program of the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, is cosponsored by UCSB Arts & Lectures\, Department of Religious Studies\, Congregation B’nai B’rith\, Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara\, and Santa Barbara Hillel.

This conference seeks to widen the narrow conceptions of space underlying traditional work on borders by focusing on borderlands and frontier zones\, spaces of interaction between different cultural groups. The conference pays particular attention to the experiences of people who live and act in borderland societies. The participants in this conference study a diverse range of periods and places\, but all share a common interest in the mechanics of borderlands interactions and the shaping of borderlands identities. Our goal is to foster comparative discussion that crosses academic dividing lines\, in hopes of inspiring further research and cooperation.\n This conference is sponsored by the Ancient Borderlands Research Focus Group (UC Santa Barbara) and the Baltic Borderlands International Research Training Group (University of Greifswald\, Germany)\, in cooperation with the Ancient Mediterreanean Studies Program\, the Department of History\, and the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center. \n Funding for this conference has been provided by the UCSB Interdisciplinary Humanities Center and the UCSB College of Letters & Science. Additional support was provided by the UC Multi-Campus Research Group in Late Antiquity. \nOPENING REMARKS: 9:00-9:10am\nJohn W.I.

The French experience taught American administrators several lessons\, none more potent than the need to mitigate the destructiveness of so-called “tropical” diseases such as malaria and yellow fever. The U.S. responded with a sanitary program\, informed by several critical mosquito vector discoveries at the end of the 19th century\, that seemed to successfully meet that threat; indeed\, many Americans claimed to have solved one of the vexing medical and imperial problems of the era: the settling of temperate peoples in tropical environments. The Americans had\, to use the words of a contemporary commentator\, pulled the teeth of the tropics. This talk will examine American perceptions of the tropics at the turn of the last century\, how those perceptions informed U.S. sanitary and other administrative practices in Panama\, and how those practices in turn resulted in the creation of a Canal Zone landscape that mixed marked public health improvements with racial and medical inequalities. It will also examine how the environmental changes wrought by canal construction actually created many of the conditions conducive to malaria and yellow fever transmission\, and how it was scientists working in Panama who came to notice the disconnect between an environmental ideology that naturalized tropical disease and a material reality that implicated environmental changes as critical to the Isthmus’ public health challenges.\nhm 5/6/11 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/pulling-the-teeth-of-the-tropics-science-medicine-the-environment-and-the-construction-of-the-panama-canal/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20110510T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20110510T000000 DTSTAMP:20260506T194700 CREATED:20150928T112830Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112830Z UID:10001964-1304985600-1304985600@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:21st Century Socialism and Venezuela DESCRIPTION:Eva Golinger will discuss the Bolivarian project for participatory democracy in Venezuela that has occurred through the empowerment of the country’s poor majority during the last decade.

From seminal speeches at the start of the Space Age to futuristic imaginings in the 1980s to industrial commercialization in the 1990s\, nanotechnology is always linked to California in some fashion. In this talk\, McCray will explore how the West Coast version of nanotechnology resonated among researchers\, policy makers\, the media\, and the public within and beyond the Golden State. Seen more broadly\, this California-infused perspective gives insights into the nature of technological ecosystems\, historical analogies\, and the challenges posed by competing historical narratives.
