SUMMARY:Science\, Secrecy\, and the Soviet State
DESCRIPTION:Secrecy was endemic in Soviet society and culture. Information that we might consider benign in the Western context was off-limits to most of the general populace throughout the existence of the Soviet Union. Controls over the circulation of information were particularly strict relating to matters of national security\, which usually subsumed most scientific and engineering activity. Yet\, the state also had an imperative to publicize Soviet achievements in science and technology even as it kept most of this activity secret. This obvious contradiction forms the backdrop to my current paper in which I describe limits on the production\, circulation\, and interpretation of scientific knowledge in the Soviet Union (with examples of secret artifacts\, people\, and institutions) as a way to add to a broader discussion of secrecy and science and technology in the 20th century. \nAbout the Speaker\nAsif Siddiqi is a Professor of History at Fordham University in New York and specializes in the history of 20th century science and technology. He has written widely on the Soviet space program\, including his most recent book The Red Rockets’ Glare: Spaceflight and the Soviet Imagination\, 1857-1957 (Cambridge\, 2010). His new projects include a book project on the history of use of scientific and engineering expertise to maintain and expand the Stalinist Gulag. He is also writing book on the origins of the Indian space program set in the larger context of Cold War science in a postcolonial setting.

SUMMARY:An Industrious Mind\, The Worlds of Sir Simonds D’Ewes
DESCRIPTION:In Promotion of Professor J. Sears McGee’s new book An Industrious Mind\, The Worlds of Sir Simonds D’Ewes (Stanford University Press\, 2015).With guest speaker Prof. Chris R. Kyle\, Associate Professor of History\, Syracuse University. \nReception to follow with light refreshments. \nThis is the first biography of Sir Simonds D’Ewes (1602–1650)\, a member of England’s Long Parliament\, a Puritan\, historian and antiquarian. D’Ewes took the Puritan side against the supporters of King Charles I in the English Civil War.  His extensive journal of the Long Parliament\, together with his autobiography and correspondence\, offer a uniquely comprehensive view of the life of a seventeenth-century English gentleman\, his opinions\, thoughts and prejudices during this tumultuous time. \nD’Ewes left the most extensive archive of personal papers of any individual in early modern Europe. His life and thought before the Long Parliament are carefully analyzed\, so that the mind of one of the Parliamentary opponents of King Charles I’s policies can be understood more fully than that of any other Member of Parliament. Although conservative in social and political terms\, D’Ewes’s Puritanism prevented him from joining his Royalist younger brother Richard during the civil war that began in 1642.  \nD’Ewes collected one of the largest private libraries of books and manuscripts in England in his era and used them to pursue historical and antiquarian research. He followed news of national and international events voraciously and conveyed his opinions of them to his friends in many hundreds of letters. McGee’s biography is the first thorough exploration of the life and ideas of this extraordinary observer\, offering fresh insight into this pivotal time in European history. \nCopies will be available for signing and purchase. (Cash or check only) \nhm 5/7/15

SUMMARY:The Form and Content of Suffering: Humanitarian Knowledge and Genocide in the Early 20th Century Middle East
DESCRIPTION:Debates about the intertwined nature of humanity\, human rights and humanitarianism have brought historians into new fields bridging social\, international\, legal and colonial history. Keith David Watenpaugh’s book Bread from Stones: The Middle East and the Making of Modern Humanitarianism (University of California\, 2015) contributes to this debate from the unique perspective of the First World War and its aftermath in the Middle East. In this talk\, he argues that international and local efforts to address mass violence against the Ottoman Empire’s ethnic minorities gave rise to a new form of conceptualizing and writing about human suffering and human need ?humanitarian knowledge. Humanitarian knowledge was not only necessary to the design and implementation of humanitarian programs for rehabilitation and relief\, but was a critical element in the process of naming genocide and comprehending its vast\, multigenerational consequences for humanity.\nKeith David Watenpaugh is a historian and director of the UC Davis Human Rights Initiative. He is author of Being Modern in the Middle East (Princeton\, 2006)\, and his articles have appeared in the American Historical Review\, Social History\, the Journal of Human Rights\, Humanity\, as well as Perspectives on History\, the Chronicle of Higher Education and the Huffington Post. \nCo-sponsored by the Center for Middle East Studies\, the Department of History\, and the Department of Global Studies\nhm 5/19/15

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. Those not presenting at the conference are welcome to attend. They should register as well. \n  \nThose presenting papers should e-mail Kit Smemo (ksmemo@gmail.com) a draft by September 1. We will post them\, with a password\, on the Conference web page. \n  \nA block of rooms have been reserved at the Best Western Plus South Coast Inn\, 5620 Calle Real\, Goleta\, CA 93117; phone (805) 967-3200.

SUMMARY:Gendered Borderlands
DESCRIPTION:Join ICW and leading scholars in the field of borderlands studies for a roundtable on the ways in which borders are shaping gender identities and opening opportunities for the renegotiation of femininity\, masculinity\, and family dynamics along the U.S.-Mexico Border. \nOften focused on the history of capital\, labor\, and immigration\, borderlands historians are also calling attention to the gendered dimensions of border crossing. Recent work by scholars in the field are raising and addressing questions of state power and gender and sexuality in border regions as well as the ways in which border relationships reshape gender identities or open opportunities for the renegotiation of femininity\, masculinity\, and family dynamics. \nFor more information\, contact Jessica Kim at jessica.kim@csun.edu

SUMMARY:Laura Nenzi\, Researching the Margins: Challenges and Consequences of Embarking on a Microhistory Project
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: \nLaura Nenzi  (Ph.D. History\, UC Santa Barbara\, 2004)\nAssociate Professor\, University of Tennessee\, Knoxville \n\n  \nEvent Description: \nLaura Nenzi\, one of our very own (2004 PhD) is returning to UCSB to give a lecture about her recent (2015) second book The Chaos and Cosmos of Kurosawa Tokiko. The talk will focus on the process of researching\, writing and then selling to a publisher a micro-history of an itinerant saleswoman of needles and later school teacher of nineteenth-century Japan. \n“Researching the margins presents not one but two challenges. First\, and perhaps most obvious\, how do we do it? Second\, how do we sell it? It is to this second challenge that I wish to turn. The dreaded “so what?” question is one every historian must be prepared to answer\, but it seems especially relevant when writing about unrepresentative\, irrelevant individuals–the extras on the historical stage.  Based on my recent book on the rural teacher and oracle Kurosawa Tokiko (1806-1890)\, a self-described “base-born nobody” who attempted to change the course of late-Tokugawa history and failed\, this presentation offers reflections on the bumpy process of writing\, and selling\, a work of microhistory in the age of the global.” \nCosponsored by the departments of History and East Asian Language and Cultural Studies\, as well as the RE-inventing Japan RFG (IHC) and the East Asia Center.

SUMMARY:Carol Lansing\, Did a Woman Rule the Vatican?  The Scandalous History of Pope Joan
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: \nCarol Lansing is a professor of medieval European history at UCSB. A specialist in the society\, politics and culture of medieval Italy\, she is the author of Power and Purity: Cathar Heresy in Medieval Italy and\, most recently\, Passion and Order: Restraint of Grief in the Medieval Italian Communes. She is co-editor of A Companion to the Medieval World and the recipient of numerous awards and fellowships\, including a Guggenheim fellowship and the Howard R. Marraro Prize of the Catholic Historical Association. \n  \nEvent Description: \nA longstanding story has it that a woman disguised asa man became pope in 854. Accounts of her demise vary\, but involve her falling off her horse during apapal procession and either dying in childbirth on the spot or being dragged off by an enraged Roman mob.The story probably dates from around 1150\, when papal processions started avoiding the traditional site of her fall. In this first lecture of the new academic year\, History Prof. Carol Lansing will explain the joke in these stories\, exploring changes in papal ceremonial and anti-papal satire to understand Pope Joan in the context of attitudes about gender and the clergy. A wine-and-cheese reception will follow. \n  \nEvent Flyer:
