SUMMARY:Films of the Cold War: Countdown to Looking Glass
DESCRIPTION:For over forty years\, “Looking Glass” was the nickname of the Airborne Command Post–an essential element in the command and control of the Strategic Air Command’s forces. This made-for-TV docudrama is a fictionalized account of how quickly a nuclear war could break out between the US and the Soviet Union over Middle East oil. This fast-paced film feels as though you are watching breaking news\, and features cameos by famous diplomats such as Paul Warnke\, and a young Georgia Congressman\, and current presidential candidate\, Newt Gingrich. The film will be followed by a Q and A\, and feature commentary from History Professor Salim Yaqub. \nhm 2/22/12

SUMMARY:New Discoveries in the Jewish and Early Christian Catacombs of Rome
DESCRIPTION:The catacombs of ancient Rome form the single most important source of information concerning the rise of Christianity from an archaeological point of view. This lecture focuses on exciting new results produced by a science-based approach to these materials\, as performed within the framework of a recently concluded international project based at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. It discusses the results and historical ramifications of a series of radiocarbon datings in the Jewish and early Christian catacombs of Rome by seeking to answer such questions as: What does the fact that the Jewish catacombs antedate the Christian ones tell us about Jewish-Christian relationships in the very center of the Roman Empire? By then elaborating on the evidence produced by stable isotope analysis and several other research techniques\, this lecture also delves into the harsh demographic realities that Jews and Christians alike were facing during the first centuries of the Common Era. In an attempt to bring back to life the common folk that lie buried in the endless and pitch-dark subterranean galleries of the catacombs\, I will argue that there is very little in the archaeology of these monumental sites that lends support to more optimistic notions about the rise of Christianity such as those proposed\, most prominently\, by Rodney Stark.\nThis lecture is sponsored by the UC Multi-Campus Research Group in Late Antiquity in cooperation with the UCSB Ancient Mediterranean Studies Program. \njwil 02.xi.2011
