SUMMARY:Elizabeth Buettner\, "Postcolonial Migration Meets European Integration: Britain in Comparative Perspective"
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Buettner\, Professor of Modern History at the University of Amsterdam\, will present her paper “Postcolonial Migration Meets European Integration: Britain in Comparative Perspective” on Tuesday\, October 22 at 4:00 in HSSB 4020. \nHow exceptional has Britain’s history of inward migration after 1945 been compared to that of other Western European countries? Like other former imperial powers\, Britain became home to many peoples from its former colonies and Commonwealth\, many of whom were not of European descent; moreover\, like many of its continental neighbors Britain too attracted migrants from other European countries. How did common responses to newcomers from outside Europe resemble or differ from attitudes towards foreign Europeans\, particularly those from within the European Economic Community/European Union? This paper will sketch out general issues and discuss changes over time\, not least by comparing earlier decades to developments occurring after EU’s eastward enlargement since 2004 that have culminated in Brexit. \nClick here to download the flyer for this event.

SUMMARY:Barbara Walker\, "Fathers and Sons and the Origins of Cold War ‘Area Studies’ in the United States"
DESCRIPTION:Barbara Walker is Professor of Russian history at the University of Nevada\, Reno. She has published on a broad range of historical topics in the area of Russian and Soviet intellectual life and its economic foundations\, social organization and culture. \nMore recently\, she has branched out to explore the nature of expertise\, specifically “information expertise\,” in her current book project\, A War of Experts: Soviet and American Knowledge Networks in Cold War Competition and Collaboration. Her book will present the intertwined stories of a variety of lively and committed “information experts” in the Cold War United States and Soviet Union\, including early electronic computer designers\, U.S.-Soviet research exchange scholars\, journalists and Soviet dissidents. Information professionals in the area of intelligence make their appearance too. The book focuses on the efforts of these ambitious\, often passionate “experts” to multiply their numbers and to expand the influence of their expertise in this period. To accomplish these goals\, they built on networks and traditions reaching back into the 19th century\, in which lay the origins of the professionalization of expertise in many areas. \nClick here to download the flyer for this event.

SUMMARY:Susan Lederer\, "'Send My Body to the Medical College': Alternative Afterlives in Turn of the  Century America"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Susan Lederer\, Professor of the History of Medicine\, University of Wisconsin Madison will be giving a talk on Thursday\, January 9 at 5:30 pm entitled “‘Send My Body to the Medical College’: Alternative Afterlives in Turn of the Century America.” \nIn 1876 American and English newspapers reported the extraordinary will made by an American woman living in London. Inspired by Bentham’s 1832 bequest of his body\, Susan Fletcher Smith approached the Royal College of Surgeons with the proposal that\, upon her death\, her body be “completely dissected in the most thorough manner known to science.” Moreover\, she stipulated that preference be given to persons of the female sex who wished to inspect the body in the various stages of dissection. The President of the College agreed to accept her proposal. Smith’s donation was one of some 450 reported in the press in the years between 1870 and 1940. This talk explores how donating one’s remains to a medical institution was transformed in this period from a bizarre and macabre eccentricity into an exemplar of enlightened corporeal philanthropy. \nClick here to download the flyer for this event.

SUMMARY:Ronny Regev\, "'We Want No More Economic Islands': The Mobilization of the Black Consumer Market in the Postwar US"
DESCRIPTION:On February 14 Ronny Regev (History\, Hebrew University of Jerusalem) presents\, “‘We Want No More Economic Islands’: The Mobilization of the Black Consumer Market in the Postwar US.” \nWWII ushered in an era of economic growth in the United States\, which enshrined consumption as an integral part of liberal citizenship. African Americans were often excluded from the benefits of this “affluent society\,” due to the prevalence of segregation and discrimination in the name of white supremacy. Still\, throughout the 1940s and 1950s\, a network of black intellectuals and business leaders promoted their own vision of economic abundance. By emphasizing the power of the “black market\,” the Afro-American economic elite advocated for a black consumer society\, in which black shoppers used their buying power to promote racial uplift. Following the full contours of the African American consumer discourse reveals that the preoccupation with the black shopper turned this mundane identity into a political category and marked the commercial realm as a viable arena in the struggle for civil rights. \nDr. Regev is the author of Working in Hollywood: How the Studio System Turned Creativity into Modern Labor (2018)\, and is a scholar of modern popular culture and its intersection with mass media industries and US labor relations. \nStudents in any discipline may receive credit in History 294 for participating in this workshop. \nClick here to download the flyer for this event.

SUMMARY:Van Gelderen Graduate Student Lecture: Sergey Saluschev\, "Reluctant Abolitionists: Slavery\, the Slave Trade and Abolition in the 19th-Century Caucasus"
DESCRIPTION:History Associates presents the seventh annual Van Gelderen Graduate Student Lecture\, this year given by Sergey Saluschev. He will present on his dissertation topic\, “Reluctant Abolitionists: Slavery\, the Slave Trade and Abolition in the 19th-Century Caucasus.” \nThis talk will focus on the slave trade in the Russian-ruled Caucasus between 1801 and 1917 and draws upon such primary sources as letters\, petitions\, slave sale deeds\, and official correspondence. Although the tsarist state sought–at least rhetorically–to stamp out slavery in the empire’s peripheral regions\, it paradoxically upheld serfdom. The Caucasus nevertheless remained a crucial hub for slave markets serving the Middle East. The speaker will describe the geographic scope of the trade\, its variegated institutions\, and the attempts by Russian imperial authorities to reform it. He will present previously unknown stories of a number of individual slaves which reveal hidden and often poignant dimensions of slavery in the region. His conclusion demonstrates how the legacies of slavery in the Caucasus left a clearly legible mark on the political discourse about the future of slavery in the United States and on the American popular entertainment industry. \nThis year’s Van Gelderen Lecture will take place as a Zoom webinar. Join us for this exciting event at https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/97047834257.

SUMMARY:Lizabeth Cohen\, Struggling to Save America's Cities in the Suburban Age: Urban Renewal Revisited
DESCRIPTION:Click here to download the flyer for this event. \nREGISTER NOW \nFree to attend; registration required to receive Zoom webinar attendance link \nUrban Renewal of the 1950s through 1970s has acquired a very poor reputation\, much of it deserved. But reducing it to an unchanging story of urban destruction misses some important legacies and genuinely progressive goals. Those include efforts to create more socially mixed communities\, to involve suburbs—not just cities—in solving metropolitan inequality\, and most importantly\, to hold the federal government responsible for funding more affordable housing and other urban investments\, rather than turn to the private sector. Cohen will revisit this history by following the long career of Edward J. Logue\, who worked to revitalize New Haven in the 1950s\, became the architect of the “New Boston” in the 1960s\, and later led innovative organizations in New York at the state level and in the South Bronx. She will analyze the evolution in Logue’s thinking and actions\, when and how he met resistance and accommodation by communities\, and what he and many others who cared about cities learned in facing the challenges of urban revitalization during the suburban boom of the second half of the 20th century. Amid substantial challenges today in the realms of racial injustice\, public health\, economic viability\, and urban resilience\, it is more important than ever that we reexamine the history of efforts—successful and failed—to keep American cities vital. Audience Q&A will follow. \nLizabeth Cohen is the Howard Mumford Jones Professor of American Studies and a Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of History at Harvard. Her most recent book is Saving America’s Cities: Ed Logue and the Struggle to Renew Urban America in the Suburban Age (October 2019)\, winner of the Bancroft Prize. It examines the benefits and costs of the shifting strategies for rebuilding American cities after World War II by following the career of urban redeveloper Edward J. Logue\, who oversaw major renewal projects in New Haven\, Boston\, and New York State from the 1950s through the 1980s. Cohen has been a fellow of the Guggenheim Foundation\, the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the American Council of Learned Societies\, and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. She is also a former president of the Urban History Association. \nTo learn more about or purchase a copy of Saving America’s Cities: Ed Logue and the Struggle to Renew Urban America in the Suburban Age\, please visit Chaucer’s Books online. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Living Democracy series; the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment; the UCSB Blum Center on Poverty\, Inequality\, and Democracy; and the UCSB Department of History \nImage courtesy of Boston City Archives \nREGISTER NOW. ASL and Spanish interpretation will be provided. To view ASL interpretation\, please attend the webinar on a desktop computer.

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: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: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. Rasul Miller\, "Black Internationalism and Black Sunni Muslims in America"
DESCRIPTION:During the interwar period\, the historic neighborhood of Harlem was home to a thriving Black political scene that included Garveyites\, Communists\, labor organizers\, anticolonial activists\, and politicized adherents of various new Black religious congregations. Shaykh Daoud Faisal and Mother Khadijah Faisal\, the architects of New York City’s first lasting Black Sunni Muslim community worked as artists\, organizers\, and propagators of Islam for over a decade in 1920s and 1930s Harlem\, and were deeply impacted by its Black internationalist political and cultural character. Upon moving to Brooklyn Heights in 1930 they built one of the twentieth century’s most influential Muslim religious communities in the US. In this talk\, Dr. Rasul Miller (History\, UC Irvine) explores the impact of Black internationalism on this formative Black Sunni religious institution\, and the broader Black Sunni religious and cultural orientations it helped to foster. \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.

SUMMARY:Humanities Decanted--W. Patrick McCray\, "Making Art Work: How Cold War Engineers and Artists Forged a New Creative Culture"
DESCRIPTION:The IHC‘s Humanities Decanted series invites all to a dialogue between Patrick McCray (History) and Alan Liu (English) about McCray’s new book\, Making Art Work: How Cold War Engineers and Artists Forged a New Creative Culture (MIT Press\, 2020). Audience Q&A will follow. \nDespite C. P. Snow’s warning\, in 1959\, of an unbridgeable chasm between the humanities and the sciences\, engineers and scientists of that era enthusiastically collaborated with artists to create visually and sonically interesting multimedia works. This new artwork emerged from corporate laboratories\, artists’ studios\, publishing houses\, art galleries\, and university campuses and it involved some of the biggest stars of the art world. Less famous and often overlooked were the engineers and scientists who contributed time\, technical expertise\, and aesthetic input to these projects. These figures included the rocket engineer-turned-artist Frank J. Malina\, MIT’s Gyorgy Kepes\, and Billy Klüver\, a Swedish-born engineer at Bell Labs who helped establish the New York–based group Experiments in Art and Technology. This book restores the role of technologists to the foreground\, explores the era’s hybrid creative culture\, and recounts the many ways that artists\, engineers\, and curators have collaborated over the past fifty years. Making Art Work shows that the borders of art and technology over the past half century are anything but fixed. Just as striking is that the original ideals and ambitions that animated the 1960s-era art-and-technology movement have not faded. Today\, creativity\, collaborations\, and interdisciplinary research are promoted by academic and corporate leaders alike. What emerges is a long history of artists and technologists who have repeatedly built new creative communities in which they can exercise imagination\, invention\, and expertise. \nW. Patrick McCray is a professor in the Department of History at UC Santa Barbara where his research\, writing\, and teaching focus on the histories of technology and science. Originally trained as a scientist\, he is the author or editor of six books. McCray’s 2013 book\, The Visioneers: How an Elite Group of Scientists Pursued Space Colonies\, Nanotechnologies\, and a Limitless Future\, won the Watson Davis Prize in 2014 from the History of Science Society as the “best book written for a general audience.” \nRegistration is required in advance.

SUMMARY:8th Annual Van Gelderen Lecture: Sasha Coles\, “The Great Silk Experiment: Silkworms\, Mulberry Trees\, and Women Workers in Mormon Country\, 1850s-1910s”
DESCRIPTION:UCSB History Associates presents the eighth annual Van Gelderen Graduate Student Lecture\, this year given by Dr. Sasha Coles. \nFrom the 1850s to the early 1900s\, Latter-Day Saint (or Mormon) women in both rural and urban Great Basin settlements planted mulberry trees\, raised silkworms\, and attempted to produce silk cocoons\, thread\, and cloth of a high-enough quality to use and sell. By most measurements\, they failed. Homegrown silk was time-consuming\, onerous\, and practically impossible to profit from\, primarily due to superior imported goods from Europe and Asia. Even so\, this talk will show how the homegrown silk industry provided Mormon women with a venue to make their own money\, shape transnational labor and commodity markets\, and understand ever-changing environmental conditions. In these and other ways\, Mormon women used silk production and consumption to resolve tensions between economic cooperation and competition\, market isolation and integration\, and religious exceptionalism and American citizenship. \nOur speaker\, Sasha Coles\, defended her UCSB Ph.D. dissertation successfully in February 2021. She received her M.A. from UCSB in 2015 and her B.A. from Arizona State University in 2013. Her publications include two articles in historical journals\, and she has developed a website on the Walt Disney theme parks. \nThe Zoom link for this year’s Van Gelderen Lecture is https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/6855143149.

SUMMARY:History Associates: Patrick McCray\, "Making Art Work: Artists and Engineers in the Age of Apollo"
DESCRIPTION:Join the History Associates this Sunday for an engaging presentation from UCSB History Professor Patrick McCray. \nArtwork as opposed to experiment? Engineer versus artist? We often see two different cultural realms separated by impervious walls. But some fifty years ago\, the borders between technology and art began to be breached. In this talk UCSB history professor (and former engineer) W. Patrick McCray shows how in this era\, artists eagerly collaborated with engineers and scientists to explore new technologies and create visually and sonically compelling multimedia works. Today\, we are in the midst of a new surge of corporate and academic promotion of projects and programs combining art\, technology\, and science. Making Art Work reveals how artists and technologists have continually constructed new communities in which they exercise imagination\, display creative expertise\, and pursue commercial innovation. \nZoom link: ucsb.zoom.us/j/6855143149

SUMMARY:Interdisciplinary Conference on "Fallout: Chernobyl and the Ecology of Disaster"
DESCRIPTION:The interdisciplinary virtual conference Fallout: Chernobyl and the Ecology of Disaster will take place on Friday\, April 30\, 2021 at 9:00am-4:00pm (Pacific Time\, US & Canada)\, when an international slate of speakers representing a variety of disciplines will share their insights on the 35th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster. \n \nThe day before\, an associated Carsey-Wolf Center virtual discussion of the award-winning documentary “The Babushkas of Chernobyl\,” with Director Holly Morris\, will take place on Thursday\, April 29\, 2021 at 4:00pm (Pacific Time\, US & Canada)\, before which registered participants can pre-screen the film. Information on registering for both events and the conference website are below:\n \nConference Website\n \nRegister for the Virtual Conference at 9am-4pm Pacific Time (US & Canada) on Friday\, April 30\, 2021\n \nRegister for the Carsey-Wolf Center Virtual Discussion at 4pm Pacific Time (US & Canada) on Thursday\, April\, 29\, 2021\n \nThirty-five years after the 1986 nuclear accident at Chernobyl\, the interdisciplinary virtual conference Fallout: Chernobyl and the Ecology of Disaster considers its afterlife and reverberations in various disciplines\, including culture and the arts. Situated at a watershed moment during the Cold War\, Chernobyl has spawned an unprecedented quantity of global responses from scientists\, writers\, filmmakers\, and artists\, and it has become a key moment for the global environmental movement. This conference views the accident and its aftermath in the context of broader global ecologies of disaster and considers how catastrophe is coded and understood — or fails to be understood — through the prism of science\, art\, literature\, and film. How do all these disciplines and discourses confront the disaster\, and where do they converge to produce the fiction\, or the truth\, of what we call “Chernobyl”? The conference brings together scholars and experts in Comparative Literature\, History\, Anthropology\, Environmental Studies\, Nuclear Engineering\, Medicine\, Art\, Film\, and Germanic and Slavic Studies.\n \nSponsored by the Division of Arts and Letters and the T. A. Barron Environmental Fund. Event partners include the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies\, the\, and the Carsey-Wolf Center. Other sponsors include the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, Department of Global Studies\, Comparative Literature Program\, Environmental Studies\, Cold War Studies\, College of Creative Studies\, and History Department. (Rescheduled from April 2020 when it was postponed due to COVID-19.)
