SUMMARY:Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture – Alex Wellerstein on “Truman's Bomb”
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on May 9\, 4PM\, in the McCune Conference Room for the 2018 Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture. Our guest speaker will be Alex Wellerstein who will be giving a lecture titled Truman’s Bomb and the Making of the Atomic Presidency.  \nWhen we think of the importance of the atomic bomb to the Truman presidency\, we think of Truman’s weighty decision regarding the use of the weapon on Japan. But historians have known for decades that the narrative of “the decision to use the bomb” is largely mythical\, and his actual role was mostly peripheral. But despite this\, Truman did make several decisions during the war that would have vast consequences for the future of nuclear weapons\, decisions that still resonate today. This talk will look at the making of the “Atomic Presidency” during the Truman administration: the regulations\, norms\, and procedures that invest in a single person the power to destroy the world\, a power that has extraordinary relevance for us today. \n \nAlex Wellerstein is an Assistant Professor of Science and Technology Studies (STS) in the College of Arts and Letters at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken\, New Jersey. He received his PhD from the Department of the History of Science at Harvard University in 2010\, and has BA in History from the University of California\, Berkeley. He is the author of “Restricted Data: The Nuclear Secrecy Blog\,” the creator of the heavily-used nuclear weapons effects simulator website NUKEMAP\, and is a regular contributor to the New Yorker’s Elements web site\, among other outlets for his more popular writing. \nThe Badash Lecture honors the late Prof. Lawrence Badash\, a long-time professor in the history of science at UCSB. The lecture is made possible with generous donations from Larry’s partner Nancy Hofbauer\, his former student Peter Neushel\, and numerous other donors who have contributed their support to the series. \nA flyer for this event is here.

SUMMARY:Kelly Shannon\, Florida Atlantic University. Book talk: "U.S. Foreign Policy and Muslim Women's Human Rights"

SUMMARY:"Lawyers and Legal Consciousness in Early Modern Europe: A Cultural History\," a Talk by Michael P. Breen\, Reed College
DESCRIPTION:“Historians have long believed that lawyers played a central role in the dissemination of legal knowledge and the ideal of the ‘rule of law’ in early modern Europe. Recent scholarship\, however\, has called this view into question\, emphasizing instead the ways ordinary men and women appropriated the law and its institutions for their own ends. This talk will reconsider the ways legal professionals helped mediate the development of early modern legal consciousness by examining their activities beyond the courtroom and the identities they fashioned for themselves not as legal experts\, but as intellectuals\, literary figures\, and political actors.” \n  \nMichael P. Breen is Professor of History and Humanities and Chair of the Division of History and Social Sciences at Reed College. He is the author of Law\, City\, and King: Legal Culture\, Municipal Politics and State Formation inEarly Modern Dijon (2007) and numerous articles on lawyers and legal culture in early modern France. \nCo-sponsored by the Departments of History and French and Italian\, the Early Modern Center\, and the IHC. \n

SUMMARY:"Censorship\, Politics\, and the Making of a Literary Classic"\, a talk by Carlos Aguirre at the Colloquium on Latin American and Caribbean History
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the next meeting of the History Department’s Colloquium on Latin American and Caribbean History as we welcome Prof. Carlos Aguirre (University of Oregon)\, who will be presenting a paper entitled “Censorship\, Politics\, and the Making of a Literary Classic: The Biography of Vargas Llosa’s La ciudad y los perros“. \nThe talk will be held at 5pm on Friday\, October 5th in HSSB 4020\, and will be followed by a small reception. \nThis event is supported by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese\, the History Department Colloquium Committee\, the Latin American and Iberian Studies Program\, and the Program in Comparative Literature. \nAbstract\nMario Vargas Llosa’s first novel\, La ciudad y los perros (Barcelona\, 1963)\, marked the beginning of the author’s outstanding literary career but also\, according to many\, of the “Latin American boom\,” a literary\, political\, and publishing phenomenon that changed the landscape of Latin American and world literature. A novel about a group of adolescents in a military school in Lima that was widely read as a critique of Peruvian militaristic\, machista\, and authoritarian culture\, it became an almost instant classic but was also involved in a series of literary and political controversies. Exploring the role of literary and friendship networks\, the Spanish publishing industry\, the negotiations with Franco’s censorship office\, the scandals that surrounded its reception\, and the political climate of the time\, this talk will reconstruct the process by which the manuscript of a novel written by an almost unknown author became a powerful literary\, cultural\, and political artifact. \nAbout the speaker\nCarlos Aguirre is Professor of History at the University of Oregon and the author or editor of several books on slavery and abolition\, crime and punishment\, intellectuals\, and the history of Lima. His most recent publications include The Peculiar Revolution. Rethinking the Peruvian Experiment under Military Rule\, co-edited with Paulo Drinot (2017) and Bibliotecas y Cultura Letrada en América Latina. Siglos XIX y XX\, co-edited with Ricardo Salvatore (2018). For more information on professor Aguirre’s works\, check https://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~caguirre/home.html \nWe hope to see many of you there!

SUMMARY:The Topography of Citizenship
DESCRIPTION:October 11 (Thursday) 3 pm\, HSSB 4080 : Simon Goldhill (University of Cambridge)\, The Topography of Citizenship (co-sponsored by Critical Issues: Changing Faces of US Citizenship). \nCitizenship is most often discussed as a question of legal status within a framework of rights and occasionally duties. Goldhill will be looking at the physical infrastructure of citizenship and how this is changing. How are cities constructed to create different sites of engagement for\ncitizenship and different forms of exclusion? What sort of cities do we wish to make to create civic life? The focus will be on the modern city\, but with an instructive comparison with past models\, physical and theoretical.

SUMMARY:Talk by Dr. Charles Delgadillo: "Crusading for Democracy: William Allen White's Liberal Republican Internationalism"
DESCRIPTION:Delgadillo flyer \nThe question of America’s role in the world has been fiercely contested for more than a century in the Republican Party. The “isolationists” have argued that American interests were better served by remaining free of foreign entanglements\, while the “internationalists” have countered that American peace and prosperity demanded that it play a role in shaping the international order. It is only in recent days\, under the leadership of Donald Trump\, that Republican isolationists have prevailed over their internationalist opponents in the party. \nCharles Delgadillo traces William Allen White’s (1868-1944) trajectory as one of the founding fathers of liberal Republican internationalism.  White achieved national fame with his conservative Emporia Gazette editorial “What’s the Matter with Kansas?” but he quickly evolved into a progressive Republican and later into a New Deal liberal. White fought for an active American role in the world\, from his early explorations with the global progressive movement during the 1900s to his efforts to generate public support for the Allies during World War II. The final battle of White’s life was fought to cement the supremacy of internationalism over isolationism in the Republican Party.  White’s role in advancing liberal Republican internationalism\, his perception of the isolationist threat\, and his colorful life make him a fascinating case study in the age of “America First.” \nThe event is sponsored by the Center for Cold War Studies and International History and cosponsored by the Department of History. \nCharles Delgadillo is an Instructor in History at the California State Polytechnic University\, Pomona. He earned his PhD in History at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, in 2010\, and his dissertation examined a cohort of four liberals who grappled with America’s rise as a world power between the World Wars. The work yielded two journal articles and Crusader for Democracy: The Political Life of William Allen White\, which is Delgadillo’s first book. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Talk by Professor Ula Taylor\, UC Berkeley: "The Promise of Patriarchy: Women and the Nation of Islam"
DESCRIPTION:The partiarchal structure of the Nation of Islam (NOI) promised black women the prospect of finding a provider and a protector among the organization’s men\, who were fiercely committed dto these masculine roles. Black women’s experience in the NOI\, however\, has largely remained on the periphery of scholarship. In her presentation\, Ula Taylor documents their struggle to escape the devaluation of black womanhood while also clinging to the empowering promises of patriarchy. Taylor shows how\, despite being relegated to a lifestyle that did not encourage working outside of the home\, NOI women found freedom in being able to bypass the degrading experiences connected to labor performed largely by working-class black women and in raising and educating their children in racially affirming environments. \nCo-sponsored by the College of Letters and Sciences; the MultiCultural Center; the Department of History; Hull Chair in Feminist Studies; and Black Studies

SUMMARY:Film screening: "1968: The Year that Shaped a Generation"
DESCRIPTION:1968 Poster1968 was a pivotal year in U.S. and global history. In the United States\, students protested the Vietnam War. In France\, they protested university conditions and sparked worker strikes across the country. In Mexico City\, they protested state violence. This was also the year when the peaceful protest known as the “Prague Spring” flourished in Czechoslovakia\, when Martin Luther King planned a Poor People’s March on Washington\, and when Robert Kennedy ran for president. But the backlash against all of these stirrings was fierce. King and Kennedy were gunned down. Soviet tanks crushed the Prague Spring. Disarray in the American peace movement allowed Richard Nixon to become president. This documentary combines riveting archival footage and insightful interviews—with Jesse Jackson\, Barbara Ehrenreich\, Carlos Fuentes\, Pat Buchanan and others—to recreate an extraordinary year. The emerging picture is one of turmoil and anguish but also one of hope. The Vietnam protests ultimately led to a winding down of the war. The French uprising spurred university reforms in that country. The Prague Spring\, though ground down in 1968\, planted the seeds of Czechoslovakia’s Velvet Revolution of 1989. After the screening of the film\, Professor Salim Yaqub will make a brief presentation and lead a discussion. \nSponsored by the IHC and the Center for Cold War Studies and International History
