As most women in her day and age\, she did not pay much attention to political issues. Then\, on the evening of September 30\, 1858\, a neighbor rushed over announcing the arrival of a large\, bright comet. In her later writings Tokiko would identify the comet as the spark that ignited her political activism: she embraced the loyalist faction and\, in 1859\, surreptitiously traveled to Kyoto to deliver a petition to none other than the emperor. This presentation will draw on Tokiko’s unpublished diaries (preserved in Ibaraki Kenritsu Rekishikan) to follow the trajectory of her political awakening and examine the pivotal role of the 1858 comet as part and parcel of her political vocabulary.\nLaura Nenzi received her Ph.D. from the UCSB in 2004. After five years as Assistant Professor at Florida International University in Miami she is now moving to the University of Tennessee Knoxville. She is the author of Excursions in Identity: Travel and the Intersection of Place\, Gender\, and Status in Edo Japan (University of Hawai’i Press\, 2008). \nCosponsored by the East Asia Center\, the East Asian Cultures Research Focus Group\, the Department of East Asian Cultural Studies and Languages\, and the Department of History. \nFor more information visit the East Asia Center web site or call (805) 893-3907. \njwil 28.iv.09\, hm 4/29 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/portents-and-politics-in-nineteenth-century-japan-kurosawa-tokiko-and-the-comet-of-1858/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20090506T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20090506T000000 DTSTAMP:20260418T052251 CREATED:20150928T112804Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112804Z UID:10001664-1241568000-1241568000@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:When I Awaked': Colonial Encounters\, Gendered Meanings\, and the Cultural Significance of Dream Reporting in Seventeenth-Century New England DESCRIPTION:Presentation of work in progress hosted by UCSB’s Early Modern Center.\nAnn Plane\, Associate Professor of History at UCSB\, will present a paper as part of the Early Modern Center’s works-in-progress series. Her presentation\, entitled\, “‘When I Awaked’: Colonial Encounters\, Gendered Meanings\, and the Cultural Significance of Dream Reporting in Seventeenth-Century New England\,” explores the convergence of two distinctive ‘dream cultures\,’ that of the Algonquian-speaking natives of the region and that of the seventeenth-century nonconformist English colonists. Her paper also considers how these dream cultures reveal the gendered dynamics of colonization\, particularly focusing on the representation of masculinity among both colonizer and colonized. \nThe presentation will be followed by a question and answer session.

This talk will present the case study of recent excavations conducted at Leontari cave situated in Hymettus mountain in Attica. During the five years of excavations of Leontari cave (2003- 2008)\, a joint project conducted by the University of Athens and the Ephorate of Paleoanthropology-Speleology (Greek Ministry of Culture)\, the team has revealed new environmental and archaeological knowledge shedding new light on the process of the rise of agriculture and domestication patterns of animals in mainland Greece. In addition\, they have made positive identifications that the cave was also an important shrine dedicated to the deity Pan\, one of most popular gods in the Greek pantheon.\nDr. Lilian Karali-Giannakopoulou Ioulia is Professor of Prehistoric and Environmental Archaeology\, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens in Greece. She is one of Europe’s leading specialist on Environmental Archaeology\, Greek Prehistory (Paleolithic\, Mesolithic\, Neolithic\, and Bronze Age)\, and Bio-archaeology (human and animal remains\, shells). She is also the founder of the Environmental Archaeology program at Athens University\, the first of its kind in Greece. \nA reception will follow the talk. \nSponsored by the Archaeology Focus Research Group of the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center. \njwil 27.iv.09 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/excavating-neolithic-caves-in-attica-rituals-to-pan-and-the-origins-of-agriculture-in-greek-prehistory/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20090507T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20090507T000000 DTSTAMP:20260418T052251 CREATED:20150928T112805Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112805Z UID:10001686-1241654400-1241654400@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:The Missing Story of Ourselves: Women\, Poverty and the Politics of Representation DESCRIPTION:The Missing Story of Ourselves is a nationally touring photographic andnarrative exhibit developed by low-income student parents\, that challenges\nand offers alternatives to conventional “stories” about class\, poor women\,\nwelfare and single parenthood in the United States. \nCo-sponsored by the Policy History Program\, the Department of\nFeminist Studies\, the Center for the Study of Work\, Labor and Democracy\,\nand the Women’s Center. \nVivyan Adair is the Elihu Root Endowed Peace Fund Associate Professor of Women’s Studies and the Director of The ACCESS Project (serving welfare eligible student parents) at Hamilton College.

Yet transborder populations’ status as “co-ethnics” or “co-nationals” is not given by the facts of ethnic demography: it is constructed through\, contested in\, and contingent on representations\, claims\, and struggles in transborder regions. \nThis talk is part of the Research Focus Group on Identity series. \nhm 4/28/09\, 5/8/09 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/cancelled-transborder-nationhood-and-the-politics-of-belonging-in-germany-and-korea/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20090508T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20090508T000000 DTSTAMP:20260418T052251 CREATED:20150928T112805Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112805Z UID:10001687-1241740800-1241740800@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Reclaiming Class: Poverty and Higher Education in the United States DESCRIPTION:Vivyan Adair is the Elihu Root Endowed Peace Fund Associate Professor of Women’s Studies and the Director of The ACCESS Project (serving welfare eligible student parents) at Hamilton College.
