It has also been shaped as much by the politics of class\, race\, gender\, and political economy as by more formally recognized norms of public and private provision. This panel explores the changing idea of welfare as a public good over time and in very different historical contexts from medieval Europe to the contemporary U.S.\, from narrowly-construed aid to the “deserving poor” to more expansive visions of social provision as a basic human right for all. It further considers how sharply divergent visions of the good society\, and how to realize it\, have fueled past and present debates over welfare. \nhm 1/12/12 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/panel-welfare-as-a-public-good/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20120123T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20120123T000000 DTSTAMP:20260426T080337 CREATED:20150928T112835Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112835Z UID:10002028-1327276800-1327276800@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Note-taking and -organizing for historians DESCRIPTION:Dear History Graduate Students:\nI plan to devote two-hours of my History 223A (Research Seminar in Modern Europe) to the art of note-taking and note-organizing. I decided to open this session to interested graduate students. The workshop will be held at 4-6\, Monday\, January 23\, in HSSB 4041. \nRoger Eardly-Pryor will demonstrate how to take notes in archives.\nI will show the David Kertzer method I learned from my colleague at Bellagio.\nPeter Alagona will demonstrate the Alagona method. \nThe idea of this workshop is prompted by my learning the Kertzer method. When I wrote my dissertation many\, many years ago\, there was no computer\, and I had to rely on 3 x 5 note cards to take notes and organize my dissertation. Since then with the new computer technology and availability of various programs\, I have experimented various methods\, but all these methods have been unsuccessful\, partly all these programs are too sophisticated and hence too difficult and cumbersome to learn. Thus\, I managed to write a few books without any system\, but I have always wanted to develop a system that is simple but efficient. At Bellagio I bumped into the Kertzer method\, and I am now slowly converting all notes into this system. \nSince then I have talked with several graduate students\, and learned that very few research seminars here offer note-taking techniques. Graduate students here are pretty much on their own\, and through trial and errors\, they have to come up with their own system. They suggested that our grad students will greatly benefit from a workshop on note-taking and note-organizing\, especially at the early stage of graduate career. Hence\, I have decided to open up the two-hour session of my seminar as a workshop. \nIf you have already a great note-taking system that works for you\, then you don’t need to come to this workshop. But if you are wondering how to take notes\, how to organize and digitize your notes\, how to take notes from secondary\, primary\, and archival sources in such a way to get access to these notes efficiently\, and how to incorporate these notes into a seminar paper and a dissertation\, this workshop might be of help. \nPlease let me know if you are interested to attend the workshop. \nToshi Hasegawa \nhm 1/12/12 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/note-taking-and-organizing-for-historians/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20120127T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20120127T000000 DTSTAMP:20260426T080337 CREATED:20150928T112836Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112836Z UID:10001799-1327622400-1327622400@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Domestic Production and Subsistence in an Ubaid Household in Upper Mesopotamia DESCRIPTION:It was harvest season. Much of the grain was already processed and had been loaded into one of the storerooms and winnowing was underway in the backyard. The fire started in one of the storerooms. It quickly spread igniting the wooden beams that supported the flat clay roof\, which roof collapsed crushing the wooden shelves where tools\, personal items and beautifully painted vessels were stored. In the summer of 2007\, some 6500 years later\, members of the Upper Tigris Archaeological Research Project (UTARP) excavated this house at the site of Kenan Tepe in southeastern Anatolia. This paper attempts to reconstruct various aspects of the economy of this Ubaid household. This analysis leads to a number of hypotheses about the nature of domestic production\, patterns of subsistence and modes of cultural reproduction during the Ubaid period in northern Mesopotamia.\nBradley J. Parker is Associate Professor of Ancient Near Eastern History and Archaeology in the Department of History at the University of Utah. As director of UTARP\, Bradley has conducted surveys and excavations at several sites in the Upper Tigris River region of southeastern Turkey. Between 2000 and 2011 this field work concentrated on the four hectare multi-period mound of Kenan Tepe. Bradley’s current research is taking him in new directions. Excavations at Kenan Tepe have produced remains from two prehistoric periods of Near Eastern History: the Middle Chalcolithic or Ubaid period (ca. 5000-4000 BCE)\, and the Late Chalcoltihic or Uruk period (ca. 4000-3000 BCE) while ethnoarchaeological research carried out by the project is also yielding interesting results. \nA reception will follow the talk. \nSponsored by the Archaeology Research Focus Group and the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center.

Arnesen is the author of Brotherhoods of Color: Black Railroad Workers and the Struggle for Equality (2001) and Waterfront Workers of New Orleans: Race\, Class\, and Politics\, 1863-1923. He is writing a biography of A. Philip Randolph.\nSponsored by the Center for the Study of Work\, Labor\, and Democracy and the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center.\nMore Information: http://www.ihc.ucsb.edu/eric-arnesen/ \nhm 1/26/12 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/civil-rights-and-the-cold-war-at-home-post-war-activism-anticommunism-and-the-decline-of-the-left/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20120130T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20120130T000000 DTSTAMP:20260426T080337 CREATED:20150928T112836Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112836Z UID:10001810-1327881600-1327881600@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Singers and Soldiers: Slaves and Slave Households of the early Islamic Near East DESCRIPTION:Matthew Gordon is Associate Professor of Middle Eastern Studies\, Miami University of Ohio\nA Reception Immediately Following the Talk\, HSSB 4041 \nhm 1/30/12 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/singers-and-soldiers-slaves-and-slave-households-of-the-early-islamic-near-east/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
