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:

SUMMARY:Dr. Masuda Hajimu\, Purity and Order: Toward Social-Cultural Understandings of the Cold War World\, 1950-1953
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:\nMasuda Hajimu (family name Masuda) received his Ph.D. from Cornell University in 2012 and currently is Assistant Professor of history at the National University of Singapore\, where he specializes in the history of Japan\, student movements in Asia\, decolonization\, and the Cold War. He is the author of Cold War Crucible: The Korean Conflict and the Postwar World (Harvard University Press\, 2015) and has published articles in Diplomatic History\, The Journal of Contemporary History\, The Journal of Cold War Studies\, and The Journal of American-East Asian Relations. \n  \nEvent Description:\nWhat was the Cold War? Professor Masuda Hajimu argues that it was more than an international confrontation between West and East blocs. It was also a social mechanism of purity and ordering at home\, in the chaotic post-WWII world. The suppression of counterrevolutionaries in China\, the White Terror in Taiwan\, the Red Purge in Japan\, McCarthyism in the United States–these were not merely end results of the Cold War\, but forces that brought the Cold War into being\, as ordinary people throughout the world strove to silence disagreements and restore social order under the mantle of an imagined global confrontation. \n  \nEvent Flyer:

SUMMARY:Stephanie Dalley\, The Hanging Garden of Babylon: An Elusive World Wonder Traced
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:\nStephanie Dalley\nOxford University\nArchaeological Institute of America Norton Lecturer \n  \nEvent Description:\nBabylon’s Hanging Garden is the only one of the original seven wonders to have been dismissed as imaginary. Neither archaeologists nor Assyriologists could find evidence for it\, and the Greek sources describing it are centuries later than its supposed existence. An ingenious and detailed solution to the problem has been found at last\, allowing a fact-based reconstruction of the garden\, and an appreciation of the system of water management that qualified it as a world wonder. \n  \nFree and open to the public. Sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America and the UCSB Classics and History Departments. \n\n

SUMMARY:John McK. Camp\, The Archaeology of Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:\nDr. John McK. Camp\nDirector of the Athenian Agora Excavations \n  \nEvent Description: \nAncient Athens is generally regarded as the birthplace of the world’s first democracy. The administrative center of Athenian democracy was the Agora\, the main square of the city\, which has been under excavation for the past eighty-five years. Here have been found the buildings which housed the government (magistrates’ offices\, law courts\, and assembly places)\, along with the objects used every day to make sure the system worked as it should (laws and regulations inscribed on stone\, allotment machines\, water clocks\, and ballots). A visitor to the agora in antiquity would have occasion to see all three branches of the government in action: executive\, legislative\, and judicial. This lecture will illuminate the archaeological material that sheds light on the development and practice of this political phenomenon. \n  \nEvent Flyer:
