Flag: The International Community and the Genocide in Srebrenica DESCRIPTION:Hasan Nuhanovic is visiting California for a lecture at the UCLA Human Rights Colloquium Series and joins us at UCSB to give a talk on the events surrounding the fall and genocide of the town of Srebrenica in eastern Bosnia in July 1995. Nuhanovic is a Bosnian Muslim who worked as a translator for the United Nations. As such he worked very closely with the Dutch Battalion (DutchBat3) tasked with protecting the unarmed population of Srebrenica. His mother\, father and brother were all killed in the genocide after the Dutch Battalion refused to grant them\, or any other civilians refuge within the UN compound\, as mass executions by the Serbian forces were taking place.\nMr. Nuhanovic’s book\, Under the U.N. Flag: The International Community and the Genocide in Srebrenica (2007) offers the first publicly available account of the terror and inhumanity experienced by those seeking sanctuary from genocide who placed their lives and their trust in the hands of the peacekeepers. Unarmed\, starved and deprived of basic human needs the people of the ‘safe haven’ of Srebrenica placed their complete reliance on the promise of protection by the United Nations. This book is compiled from firsthand experience of the events by Hasan Nuhanovic as well as other survivors of the genocide. It provides a detailed chronology covering the days leading up to the notorious days in July 1995 when the genocide of Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica began and the subsequent period during which the world media continued to propagate the message that nothing sinister was going on: it took the best part of six years before genocide was officially deemed to have taken place in 2001. This unique account is both an exhilarating read and a major work of historical reference. (amazon UK page; foreword) \nThe lecture is open to the public and will be followed by a discussion. \n**For more information\, see this transcript of this March 2006 PBS/Frontline interview with Mr. Nuhanovic.**\nIn January 2000 PBS also aired a film\, “Srebrenica: A Cry from the Grave.” The companion website offers a overview of the film\, which includes testimony by Mr. Nuhanovic. (I noticed that most of the links on the Resources Page are broken\, however.) \nThe BBC has compiled a timeline of the siege (July 6-19) with embedded clips of news reports. \nGendercide Watch offers an excellent\, relatively brief overview page: Case Study: The Srebrenica Massacre\, July 1995 as well as a gallery of 14 photos. \nWikipedia’s Srebrenica Massacre page offers extensive background information and images. \nMr. Nuhanovic’s visit is sponsored by the University of California Institute for Research in the Arts (UCIRA)\, the Orfalea Center for Global and International Studies\, the Global Studies Program\, the Human Rights Council\, and the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center. \nhm 2/6/10 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/under-the-u-n-flag-the-international-community-and-the-genocide-in-srebrenica/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20100211T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20100211T000000 DTSTAMP:20260510T001906 CREATED:20150928T112814Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112814Z UID:10001789-1265846400-1265846400@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:The Place of Liberal Arts in a Public University DESCRIPTION:The idea of a liberal education is threatened today by the assumption that learning is insignificant if it does not have immediate economic and commercial impact.

The political and economic ties between the United States and the Republic of Liberia\, cemented in the 1920s when the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company successfully established a major rubber plantation in the country\, exemplify this new imperial relationship. Yet\, the transformation of Liberia into America’s rubber empire depended on new tools of seeing and new forms of scientific and medical expertise. Through a focus on the Harvard African Expedition to Liberia in 1926\, the motion picture record it gathered\, and the place of rubber as a precious commodity in the global economy\, Prof. Mitman’s talk will investigate the relationships between science\, business\, and the state in the economic transformation of nature and a nation. \nGregg Mitman is William Coleman Professor of the History of Science and professor of medical history and science and technology studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, where he also serves as Interim Director of the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies.

Sarkhan is wracked by nationalist ferment\, which MacWhite initially attributes to communist subversion. Eventually\, however\, MacWhite comes see that the politics of Sarkhan are far more complex than he realized\, and that even well-intentioned U.S. policies can alienate the very people they are designed to help. Released in 1963\, the film uncannily foreshadows the U.S. debacle in Vietnam. \nhm 2/16/10 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/the-ugly-american-1963/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20100223T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20100223T000000 DTSTAMP:20260510T001906 CREATED:20150928T112814Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112814Z UID:10001792-1266883200-1266883200@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Hauntings: Ghosts from a Nazi Childhood DESCRIPTION:The Department of Germanic\, Slavic and Semitic Studies cordially invites you to the eighth Dr. George J.

The formation of larger territorial states\, nomadic confederations and empires (such as the Xiongnu) beginning in the first millennium BCE also facilitated these transmissions\, which before then had mostly consisted of sporadic\, cultural diffusion between the Western borders and China’s Inner Asian frontier. In this talk Prof. Barbieri-Low examines four case studies of cultural transmission\, which date from between 500 BCE to around 200 CE: glass eye-beads\, Chinese patterned silks\, Roman silver plate\, and the Ionic capital. Prof. Barbieri-Low investigates not necessarily how these features were diffused or by what route\, but how the indigenous societies chose to adapt (or not to adapt) new ideas and technologies according to their pre-existing cultural preferences and repertoires. \nSponsored by the IHC Archaeology Research Focus Group and the East Asian Cultures Research Focus Group. \njwil 20.ii.2010 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/cultural-diffusion-across-eurasia-500-bc-ad-200/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20100226T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20100226T000000 DTSTAMP:20260510T001906 CREATED:20150928T112815Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112815Z UID:10001647-1267142400-1267142400@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Caring for America: Home Health Workers in the Shadow of the Welfare State DESCRIPTION:The Colloquium on Work\, Labor\, and Political Economy hosts JENNIFER KLEIN (Yale\, History) and EILEEN BORIS (UCSB\, Feminist Studies) this Friday\, February 26 at 1 p.m. in 4041 Humanities and Social Science Building.
