SUMMARY:Kendall Lovely\, "Dismembering Classicism: Contesting Colonial and Classical Legacies in the Southwest"
DESCRIPTION:Classicization in U.S. heritage narratives often involves the imposition of classical elements\, derived from Greek and Roman civilization\, onto narratives of colonial conquest in Southwestern borderlands and frontier spaces. Ongoing controversies surrounding statues of the conquistador\, Juan de Oñate\, reflect the ways in which the classical legacy remains prominent in public spheres of historical narrative. In providing a visual narrative of conquest linked to classical imagery\, the Spanish history of the settling of the Southwest becomes implicated in broader U.S. historical narratives that valorize conquest as a civilizing force in the settling of the American West. While much of this classical imagery first appeared in Spanish sources\, this paper traces specifically how these classicized narratives of Spanish conquest became appropriated and implicated in Anglo-American/U.S. historical narratives\, as well as counter-narratives of Indigenous resistance. \nKendall Lovely\, a member of the Navajo Nation\, is from Albuquerque\, NM. She holds a double-major B.A. from the University of New Mexico in Comparative Literature & Cultural Studies and Anthropology\, an M.A. in Comparative Humanities from Brandeis University\, and a second M.A. in Museum Studies from UNM. Her recent thesis in Museum Studies explored Classical influence within early anthropology and museum discourses. Her examinations revealed how these models helped to construct colonial representations of gender\, especially in Southwest ethnology. As a Ph.D. student in Public History at the University of California Santa Barbara\, she continues these research inquiries toward decolonizing museum practices and the public interpretation of history in museum settings. \nPlease register in advance for this free presentation at this link.

SUMMARY:Miroslava Chávez-García\, "Migrant Longing"
DESCRIPTION:UCSB History Associates has partnered with the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation to present a public lecture by UCSB Professor of History Miroslava Chávez-García.  \nDrawing upon a personal collection of more than 300 letters exchanged between her parents and other family members across the U.S.-Mexico border\, Professor Chávez-García recreates and gives meaning to the hope\, fear\, and longing migrants experienced in their everyday lives both “here” and “there” (aqui y alla). As private sources of communication hidden from public consumption and historical research\, the letters provide a rare glimpse into the deeply emotional\, personal\, and social lives of ordinary Mexican men and women as recorded in their immediate\, firsthand accounts. Chávez-García demonstrates not only how migrants struggled to maintain their sense of humanity in el norte but also how those remaining at home made sense of their changing identities in response to the loss of loved ones who sometimes left for weeks\, months\, or years at a time\, or simply never returned. \nPlease register for this Zoom event in advance at this link.

SUMMARY:The Initiative for the Study of Race\, Religion\, and Revolution's Winter 2021 Schedule
DESCRIPTION:Professor Butch Ware and the ISRRAR announce the Winter Quarter schedule for HIST 210RA: Race\, Faith\, Revolution. Graduate students are invited to register for this 2-unit seminar and to sign up for the listserv at http://tinyurl.com/ISRRARListServ. \nHow have Black metaphysics articulated with racial politics in order to advance efforts of justice\, liberation\, and self-actualization? In this very special year of 2021\, our seminar will take on manifestations of anti-black racism and imperialism\, as well as African and African Diasporic efforts to mediate between the seen and unseen worlds in struggles for justice. \nThis graduate seminar is part of a broader collaborative process meant to engage graduate students and faculty alike. The Initiative for the Study of Race\, Religion\, and Revolution (ISRRAR) seeks to foster a conversation on intersections of spirituality and social change wherein works on (and by) formerly colonized peoples are central\, rather than peripheral. \nThis approach is driven by an axial critique of the ways in which modernity’s core contradictions shape our shared pasts and presents. An era of revolutionary enlightenment\, we are told\, brought humanity out of the ‘dark ages.’ Freedom dawned. But this ‘age of lights’ brought the darkest of racial taxonomies\, and scales of slavery and human suffering unknown to ancient and medieval worlds. Reason proclaimed its mission: liberate humanity from the bondage of irrational religion. Yet rational political economies brought global empires\, world wars\, and ethnic genocides. Moreover\, new nationalisms have drawn on older religious repertories to define citizens and subject them to moral authority. Self-congratulatory Western tropes\, however\, tend to overlook the ubiquity of race and the persistence of faith\, portraying them as incidental rather than fundamental. \nColonized peoples in Africa and the Americas\, tell different tales. A generation of emergent scholarship has brought these forward. Scholars (many trained in interdisciplinary fields) have recovered ‘native’ narratives and ontologies of the oppressed\, often dislodging dominant meta-narratives in the study of the global West. In History 210 we engage live presentations of the works of scholars\, activists\, and artists whose conceptualization and execution of their research breaks new ground in these domains.

SUMMARY:Job Talk: Taylor M. Moore's "Amulet Tales: Political and Spiritual Economies of Healing in Egypt"
DESCRIPTION:The History Department invites all to a job talk by Dr. Taylor M. Moore on January 13\, 2021. \nDr. Moore is a University of California President’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the History Department at UC Santa Barbara. Her research lies at the intersections of critical race studies\, decolonial/postcolonial histories of science\, and decolonial materiality studies with a geographical focus on Egypt and the late Ottoman world. Her manuscript-in-preparation\, Superstitious Women: Race\, Magic\, and Medicine in Egypt\, uses modern Egyptian amulets as an archive to reconstruct the magical and vernacular medical life-worlds of peasant women healers\, and their critical role developing medico-anthropological expertise in Egypt from 1875-1950. \nUpper Egyptian and Black African women healers\, and the amulets they wielded\, shaped robust spiritual and political economies of healing in Egypt’s long nineteenth century. Known as “old wives\,” these women stood at the center of a contest over power\, expertise and scientific authority. Despite repeated and overlapping imperial\, colonial\, and nationalist efforts by government officials and doctors to discredit their knowledge\, wise women controlled a widespread market in occult objects and services that were crucial to everyday life. By the 1920s\, the production of occult knowledge became intimately entangled with the internationalization of the social sciences. Egyptologists and anthropologists designated women healers and their magico-medical practice as\n“survivals” of ancient Egypt. As such\, these women were both objects of scientific inquiry and critical producers of medical and anthropological knowledge. \nDr. Moore’s job talk will take place on Zoom at this link.

SUMMARY:ISRRAR Event--Dr. LaKisha Simmons\, "The Ancestors and the Womb are One: Black Motherhood and Histories of Black Infant Loss"
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the twentieth century\, Black women in the United States experienced at least double the rates of infant mortality experienced by white women. Through an analysis of oral histories collected in the US South in the 1930s\, Dr. LaKisha Simmons (University of Michigan) details what Patricia Hill Collins terms a “Black women’s standpoint on mothering.” From interviewees’ discussions of infant and child loss emerge twin concepts of generation and Black relationality\, which enable a theory of Black motherhood as connected to survival and remembrance. The concept of generation reveals how Black women in the 1930s defined themselves as mothering their children after Emancipation and yet as inheriting the ever-present enslaved past through their own mothers and grandmothers. Black women articulated a sense of self and well-being that was in conversation with the ancestors and unborn. \nJoin this Zoom event here: https://bit.ly/3hVdvP4. \n\nThis event is part of the ISRRAR Winter Quarter series. \nProfessor Butch Ware and the ISRRAR announce the Winter Quarter schedule for HIST 210RA: Race\, Faith\, Revolution. Graduate students are invited to register for this 2-unit seminar and to sign up for the listserv at http://tinyurl.com/ISRRARListServ. \nHow have Black metaphysics articulated with racial politics in order to advance efforts of justice\, liberation\, and self-actualization? In this very special year of 2021\, our seminar will take on manifestations of anti-black racism and imperialism\, as well as African and African Diasporic efforts to mediate between the seen and unseen worlds in struggles for justice. \nThis graduate seminar is part of a broader collaborative process meant to engage graduate students and faculty alike. The Initiative for the Study of Race\, Religion\, and Revolution (ISRRAR) seeks to foster a conversation on intersections of spirituality and social change wherein works on (and by) formerly colonized peoples are central\, rather than peripheral. \nThis approach is driven by an axial critique of the ways in which modernity’s core contradictions shape our shared pasts and presents. An era of revolutionary enlightenment\, we are told\, brought humanity out of the ‘dark ages.’ Freedom dawned. But this ‘age of lights’ brought the darkest of racial taxonomies\, and scales of slavery and human suffering unknown to ancient and medieval worlds. Reason proclaimed its mission: liberate humanity from the bondage of irrational religion. Yet rational political economies brought global empires\, world wars\, and ethnic genocides. Moreover\, new nationalisms have drawn on older religious repertories to define citizens and subject them to moral authority. Self-congratulatory Western tropes\, however\, tend to overlook the ubiquity of race and the persistence of faith\, portraying them as incidental rather than fundamental. \nColonized peoples in Africa and the Americas\, tell different tales. A generation of emergent scholarship has brought these forward. Scholars (many trained in interdisciplinary fields) have recovered ‘native’ narratives and ontologies of the oppressed\, often dislodging dominant meta-narratives in the study of the global West. In History 210 we engage live presentations of the works of scholars\, activists\, and artists whose conceptualization and execution of their research breaks new ground in these domains.

SUMMARY:Mia Dragnic and Pierina Ferretti: "An Expansive Rebellion: Feminism and Social Revolt in Chile"
DESCRIPTION:UCSB and UCSD have joined together to welcome Pierina Ferretti and Mia Dragnic García\, sociologists and doctoral candidates in Latin American Studies at the University of Chile. \nIn October 2019\, Chile experienced its largest social revolt since the return to democracy in 1990. The mobilization\, which began as a spontaneous reaction to protest against a 0.30 USD rise in the Santiago transport fare\, soon after became a widespread outburst against the precarious and unjust conditions that affect the majority of the population after almost fifty years of life under a neoliberal regime. Throughout Chile\, high school and university students\, young precarious professionals\, residents of peripheral neighborhoods\, sectors of a fragile and unstable “middle class”\, soccer hooligans (a symbol of popular and stigmatized youth)\, qualified salaried workers and unqualified\, retirees and older adults\, office workers\, and app workers\, among others\, joined together in mass demonstrations. \nAs an immediate antecedent to this revolt in Chile\, there had been a recent emergence of a new wave of the feminist movement that has since caused a general awareness of sexist violence\, sexual abuse\, and the need for an abortion law\, issues that today they occupy the center of social debate. One can see the underground work that Chilean feminism has carried out for many years and that has gained symbolic capital – this is key to understanding how it has moved from private malaise to collective revolt today. Feminism has acted in Chile as an expansive rebellion\, starting with women and sexual dissidents and has advanced towards the politicization of broad social sectors\, preparing the conditions for mass revolt. \nZoom link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/89256077958?pwd=Mlp2MWFNVENGRTNmZXFIb2k0WE5rZz09 \nPassword: chile \n\nThis event is part of the Feminismos desde abajo\, y hacia el sur/ Feminisms from Below\, and Toward the South series. This speaker series welcomes feminist militants from Latin America to share their perspectives and experiences on building popular power towards a mass feminist movement. Over the past decade\, Latin American feminists have identified manifestations of gender-based oppression under capitalism in everyday women’s conditions in order to successfully mobilize them as part of a political movement. Feminists produce analyses and subsequent strategies around reproductive rights\, resource extractivism\, housing\, debt\, and more. This mass feminism has grown to be arguably the most insurgent political force across the continent.

SUMMARY:LAIS Tertulia | "Race and Caste in Latin America\, India\, and the USA: A Global Conversation"
DESCRIPTION:Latin American and Iberian Studies invites you to a Tertulia in the Time of COVID\, 2020-2021! Two History Department faculty members will speak at this exciting event. \nIn her widely acclaimed book Caste: The Origins of our Discontents\, Isabel Wilkerson complicates the category of race\, as it is commonly understood in the US\, by bringing caste to the fore. She discusses the “caste” historical experience of the US in light of those in Nazi Germany and India. Insofar as the term “caste” was first introduced in India by the Portuguese at a time when the Spanish and Portuguese empires had a global colonial reach\, Wilkerson’s book provides a perfect pretext for the Program in Latin American and Iberian Studies (LAIS) to launch a global conversation. In this roundtable\, UCSB faculty from Black Studies\, History\, and LAIS specialized in the US\, India\, and Latin America discuss their take on caste\, race\, and Isabel Wilkerson. \nSpeakers (UC Santa Barbara)\nUtathya Chattopadhyaya is Assistant Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. He specializes in the history of modern South Asia\, British imperialism\, and agrarian commodities in global markets. His essays have appeared in A Cultural History of Western Empires\, the South African Historical Journal\, Historical Reflections\, English Language Notes\, and the edited volume Animalia: An Anti-Imperial Bestiary for our Times. He is currently working on a monograph on cannabis and empire in British India. \nCecilia Méndez is a Peruvian historian specialized in the social and political history of the Andean region. She is the director of the Latin American and Iberian Studies Program at UC Santa Barbara and an Associated Professor in History. Her work calls the attention on the importance of late eighteenth-century\, and nineteenth-century political developments in shaping modern conceptions nationhood\, citizenship\, and “race.” \nTerrance Wooten is an Assistant Professor in Black Studies. He is currently working on his first book manuscript\, “Lurking in the Shadows of Home: Homelessness\, Carcerality\, and the Figure of the Sex Offender\,” which examines how those who have been designated “sex offenders” and are homeless in the Maryland/DC area are managed and regulated through social policies\, sex offender registries\, and urban and architectural design. His scholarly interests are located at the intersections of Black studies\, gender and sexuality studies\, studies of poverty and homelessness\, and carceral studies. \nJoin the Zoom meeting here: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/84061612112.

SUMMARY:Public History Colloquium Event–”Reinterpreting Slavery and the Emotional Labor of History”
DESCRIPTION:Join the History Department’s Colloquium in Public History on Friday\, February 5 at noon for a Zoom talk by Professor Hilary N. Green (University of Alabama). \nProfessor Green reflects on the powerful legacy of Jim Crow era efforts to erase the history of slavery from the landscape of her workplace\, the University of Alabama\, and shares a project she pursued to rewrite this historical narrative. She researched\, designed and implemented a campus tour to tell the actual history of slavery and enslaved workers in the University’s past. She collected oral tradition and pursued deep archival research\, to historicize “the experiences\, activism and collective memories of African American men\, women and children\,” and describes her efforts to get the campus community to rethink its understanding of the past\, even as an untenured member of the faculty. Her project exposed the racist structures undergirding the University Archives; it highlights the tenacity of older narratives and exposes some of the physical and psychological burdens of this sort of historical recuperation for the practitioner. All this unfolded in the larger social struggle over historical monuments and commemoration in recent months. As Green writes\, “when exploring the racial history of one’s employer\, the Jim Crow era archival project of white supremacy is no longer an abstract concept read about only in scholarship.” \nRegister for this Zoom event at https://ucsb.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_yzLVlQ62QNGv7sZz1DenDA. \nTo download the flyer for this event\, click here. \nRecommended reading: \n• Hilary Green\, “The Hallowed Ground Tour: Revising and Reimagining Landscapes of Slavery at the University of Alabama\,” in-progress seminar paper.  \n• Hilary Green\, “The Burden of the University of Alabama’s Hallowed Grounds\,” The Public Historian 42: 4 (November 2020): 28-40.

SUMMARY:ISRRAR Event--Dr. Jason Young\, "Look for Me in the Whirlwind: Toward an Ecology of Afro-Futurism"
DESCRIPTION:Speaking before a rapt audience\, famed black nationalist leader\, Marcus Garvey\, vowed to support the cause of African liberation not only in life\, but also in death\, insisting that he would return as an “earthquake\, or a cyclone\, or plague\, or pestilence” to aid in the fight for freedom. He implored his followers: “Look for me in the whirlwind.” Using Garvey’s promise as a starting point\, Dr. Jason Young (University of Michigan) reconsiders the history of slavery with an eye trained on the transformative role that torrential rains\, gale force winds and raging fires played in both opening and closing paths to freedom and resistance. And in view of the current climate crisis\, COVID-19\, and yet another national reckoning on racial injustice\, Young imagines the role that rising sea levels\, receding coastlines\, and global fugitivity might play in the Afro-futures to come. \nJoin this Zoom event here: bit.ly/3hVdvP4  \n\nThis event is part of the ISRRAR Winter Quarter series. \nProfessor Butch Ware and the ISRRAR announce the Winter Quarter schedule for HIST 210RA: Race\, Faith\, Revolution.
