It\npresents a case in which the rescuing of trafficked survivors of genocide\nand civil violence–a seemingly unambiguous good–was at once a\nconstitutive act in drawing the boundaries of the international community\,\na critical moment in the definition of humanitarianism\, and a site of\nresistance to the colonial presence in the post-Ottoman Eastern\nMediterranean. These efforts helped to bind the international community to\nArmenian communal survival and served as an ex post facto warrant for the\nWorld War. They also threatened late-Ottoman ethnic\, religious\, and\ngendered hierarchies\, and the unalloyed dominance of post-Ottoman society\nby Turkish and Arabic speaking Sunni Muslims. \nKeith David Watenpaugh is Associate Professor of Modern Islam\, Human\nRights\, and Peace in the Religious Studies program at the University of\nCalifornia\, Davis. He works on the multiple intersections of the modern\ninternational human rights regime\, Islam\, and colonialism in the\n20th-century Arab Middle East. Trained at UCLA\, Prof. Watenpaugh has lived\nand conducted research in Egypt\, Syria\, Lebanon\, Jordan\, Turkey\, and Iraq.\nHe is the author of Being Modern in the Middle East: Revolution\,\nNationalism\, Colonialism\, and the Arab Middle Class (Princeton University\nPress\, 2006) and is now writing a book on international humanitarian\nefforts and the modern Middle East. \nhm 10/28/09 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/the-paradox-of-humanitarianism-the-league-of-nations-efforts-to-rescue-trafficked-women-and-children-in-the-middle-east-1920-1927/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20091104T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20091104T000000 DTSTAMP:20260420T003901 CREATED:20150928T112809Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112809Z UID:10001721-1257292800-1257292800@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Environment Now: The Rebirth of Environmentalism DESCRIPTION:The 2009-10 Critical Issues in American topic is “Forty Years after the Big Spill – Looking Back\, Looking Ahead: 21st Century Environmental Challenges\nin a Global Context.” Led by Dehlsen Professor of Environmental Studies\nWilliam Freudenberg and supported by Water Policy Program Director Robert\nWilkinson\, the program references an historical benchmark – for the campus\nas well as the nation – and addresses a breadth of environmental challenges\nfor the 21st century with a strong\, interdisciplinary group of core faculty\nand key collaborators. \nhm 10/4/09 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/environment-now-the-rebirth-of-environmentalism/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20091106T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20091106T000000 DTSTAMP:20260420T003901 CREATED:20150928T112809Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112809Z UID:10001728-1257465600-1257465600@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Shaping Max Weber and W.E.B.

This presentation tells the story of the excavation of the tumulus\, as well as the survey around it\, the reconstruction of the mound at the end of the project\, and its ramifications for the prehistory of Europe.\nThis event is sponsored by the Archaeology and Ancient Borderlands Research Focus Groups. \njwil 04.x.2009 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/excavations-at-the-burial-tumulus-of-lofkend-in-albania/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20091106T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20091106T000000 DTSTAMP:20260420T003901 CREATED:20150928T112811Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112811Z UID:10001601-1257465600-1257465600@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Getting Hitched in Heian Kyoto: Investigating Marriage in Classical Japan DESCRIPTION:Marriage in Heian era (794-1192) Japan differed greatly from modern forms and makes an excellent subject for the comparative study of gender relations.
