Recently there has been an outcry about the propriety of building an Islamic center (called a mosque in the media) near the site of the World Trade Center in Manhattan. There also appears to be a rise in anti-Muslim rhetoric and incidents around the country\, including threats to stage burnings of the Muslim holy book\, the Qur’an. Four UCSB faculty experts from the departments of Religious Studies and History will discuss and assess these developments with an aim to enhance public understanding of the issues involved and their consequences \nThe panel features Juan E. Campo (Religious Studies) on the meaning and functions of mosques and the Qur’an in the eyes of Muslims and non-Muslims\, Richard Hecht (Religious Studies) on Islamophobia and Anti-Semitism\, Kathleen Moore (Religious Studies) on the Manhattan Islamic Center and the law\, and Salim Yaqub (History) on the implications anti-Muslim incidents might hold for U.S. foreign policy. Wade Clark Roof (J.F. Rowny Professor of Religion and Society\, Director of the Walter H. Capps Center) will be the panel convener and respondent. \nPlease join us for this important event. \nThe event is presented by the Department of Religious Studies\, the Center for Middle East Studies\, the Walter H. Capps Center for the Study of Ethics\, Religion\, and Public Life\, the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, the Orfalea Center for Global & International Studies\, and the Center for Cold War Studies and International History. \nhm 11/1/10 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/the-manhattan-mosque-and-burning-qurans-placing-an-american-dilemma-in-perspective/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20101104T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20101104T000000 DTSTAMP:20260425T194653 CREATED:20150928T112822Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112822Z UID:10001883-1288828800-1288828800@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Food Justice: A New Social Movement Takes Root DESCRIPTION:Robert Gottlieb will be discussing his new book Food Justice: A New Social Movement Takes Root at 11:30 am in HSSB 1233.\nSponsored by the Food Studies Research Focus Group. \nhm 11/1/10 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/food-justice-a-new-social-movement-takes-root/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20101105T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20101105T000000 DTSTAMP:20260425T194653 CREATED:20150928T112821Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112821Z UID:10001869-1288915200-1288915200@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Green Jobs/Sustainable Labor in the Age of Climate Justice DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a talk by Andrew Ross of New York University.\nRoss has published 17 books\, including No Respect: Intellectuals and Popular Culture (1989)\, Fast Boat to China: Corporate Flight and the Consequences of Free Trade (2006)\, The University Against Itself: The NYU Strike and the Future of the Academic Workplace (2007)\, and Nice Work If You Can Get It: Life and Labor in Precarious Times (2009). \nThe talk\, and subsequent discussion\, is part of the History 294: Colloquium in Work\, Labor\, and Political Economy\, 2010-2011 lecture series. \nThe Colloquium meets on Friday\, November 5\, at 1 p.m. in 4041 Humanities and Social Science Building. \njmj 10/11/2010 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/green-jobssustainable-labor-in-the-age-of-climate-justice/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20101105T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20101105T000000 DTSTAMP:20260425T194653 CREATED:20150928T112822Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112822Z UID:10001885-1288915200-1288915200@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:The Reception of Ancient Greek Comedy: Aristophanes DESCRIPTION:Gonda Van Steen is Cassas Professor of Greek Studies at the University of Florida.

Whether in the form of the college Greek ‘toga party’ or portrayals in films\, as a modern audience we have expectations about the Roman banquet that meet certain criteria regarding common (mis)conceptions of Roman luxury and revelry. The ancient reality was something strikingly different\, but not necessarily any less exotic. The Roman banquet was more than simply a chance to eat well with friends\, it was an opportunity to expand one’s political and economic horizons. Successfully participating in a banquet required detailed knowledge of appropriate etiquette and the ability to prove by wit and erudition that you belong on the guest list. \nUsing a wide variety of evidence\, including frescoes\, mosaics\, the written word\, and the dishes used at the banquets themselves\, we can reconstruct banqueting traditions full of social meaning. This lecture explores the purposes\, processes and changes of the Roman banquet from the first through the sixth century AD. During the first few centuries of the Roman Empire the banquet followed a relatively constant set of rules. After the fourth century AD\, a new tradition appeared that was in stark contrast to the earlier model. Rather than replacing the old banquet\, the new is associated with the non-elite\, whereas the Late Roman rich and powerful continued to feast in much the same way as their Early Roman predecessors. The divergence of banqueting fashions represents a fissure between the ruling elite and the increasingly disenfranchised masses\, and the form the new style took may have everything to do with the rise of Christianity. \nNicholas Hudson is Assistant Professor in the Department of Art & Art History at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota\, Department of Classical and Near Eastern Studies. \njwil 29.vii.2010\, 08.xi.2010 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/eat-drink-and-be-roman-the-changing-identity-of-dining-in-the-roman-world/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20101118T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20101118T000000 DTSTAMP:20260425T194653 CREATED:20150928T112822Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112822Z UID:10001888-1290038400-1290038400@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:"The Temperance Tea Party: Free Trade\, Sacred Tastes\, and the Sober Consumer in Early Industrial Britain."

DESCRIPTION:The San Andreas fault system is responsible for the formation of our most beloved and dramatic landscapes\, and for the earthquakes that shake us up from time to time. In her illustrated lecture\, Prof. Tanya Atwater will discuss the chance of someday predicting when and where the earth will break next\, the same way weather forecasters predict storms. How far are we from such predictions? Using animations\, simulations\, maps and images\, Prof. Atwater will demonstrate how specialists are finding out about longer term activity by studying sediment layers in the walls of trenches. We will learn how a “trench party” gleans information about possible future earthquakes\, and vicariously experience what the next big one might be like.\nProf. emerita Tanya Atwater is UCSB’s very own “shock jock\,” with a lifelong passion for maps and large-scale landscapes\, both oceanic and terrestrial\, and for the plate tectonic processes that create them. She is especially well known for her works on the plate tectonic evolution of western North America and the San Andreas fault system.\nAn outstanding teacher\, Prof. Atwater’s animations are used in classrooms\, teaching laboratories\, museums\, and public forums around the world. Prof. Atwater was elected to the prestigious National Academy of Sciences in 1997. Other recent honors include the National Science Foundation Director’s Award for Distinguished Teaching Scholars and the Geological Society of America Structure and Tectonics Division’s Best Paper Award. \nFirst Presbyterian Church\n23 E.
