SUMMARY:Warriors & Dissenters: The War Within the War of 1914-1918
DESCRIPTION:As we mark the centenary of the First World War\, this epochal event is usually remembered as a bloody conflict between rival alliances of nations. But from 1914 to 1918 there was another struggle: between those who regarded the war as a noble and necessary crusade and a brave minority who felt it was tragic madness and refused to fight. In an illustrated talk\, the award-winning writer Adam Hochschild describes this battle between the Great War’s staunchest advocates and its most ardent critics—the latter of whom\, in some cases\, denounced the carnage from jail. Mr. Hochschild’s talk touches on all the countries where this domestic battle took place but focuses on Britain\, where it was most passionately fought. Following his presentation\, the author will answer questions from the audience and then sign copies of his recent book on this topic\, To End All Wars: A Story of Loyalty and Rebellion\, 1914-1918.\nAbout the Speaker \nAdam Hochschild is a highly acclaimed historian\, essayist\, and travel writer. His first book\, Half the Way Home: A Memoir of Father and Son\, was published in 1986. The New York Times called it “an extraordinarily moving portrait of the complexities and confusions of familial love . . . firmly grounded in the specifics of a particular time and place\, conjuring them up with Proustian detail and affection.” It was followed by The Mirror at Midnight: A South African Journey and The Unquiet Ghost: Russians Remember Stalin. His 1997 collection\, Finding the Trapdoor: Essays\, Portraits\, Travels\, won the PEN/Spielvogel-Diamonstein Award for the Art of the Essay. King Leopold’s Ghost: A Story of Greed\, Terror and Heroism in Colonial Africa won a J. Anthony Lukas award in the United States and the Duff Cooper Prize in England. Bury the Chains: Prophets and Rebels in the Fight to Free an Empire’s Slaves received the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for History. His most recent book\, To End All Wars: A Story of Loyalty and Rebellion\, 1914-1918\, appeared in 2011. In addition to writing\, Mr. Hochschild lectures on journalism at the University of California\, Berkeley. \njwil 05.i.2015

SUMMARY:Geographies of the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Anne Knowles and Alberto Giordano will present Geographies of the Holocaust. This book is the result of a multi-year collective project that has explored the geographies of the Holocaust at every scale of human experience\, from the European continent to the experiences of individual human bodies. Built on six innovative case studies utilizing Geographical Information System (GIS) science\, it brings together historians and geographers to interrogate the places and spaces of the genocide. The cases encompass the landscapes of particular places (the killing zones in the East\, deportations from sites in Italy\, the camps of Auschwitz\, the ghettos of Budapest) and the intimate spaces of bodies on evacuation marches. Geographies of the Holocaust puts forward models and a research agenda for different ways of visualizing and thinking about the Holocaust by examining the spaces and places where it was enacted and experienced.\nAnne Knowles is Professor of Geography at Middlebury College. She is one of the pioneers in developing historical GIS as an interdisciplinary method to infuse historical research and teaching with geographical awareness and spatial analysis. She edited the first books on historical GIS\, Past Time\, Past Place: GIS for History (2002); and Placing History: How Maps\, Spatial Data\, and GIS Are Changing Historical Scholarship (2008). In her own research\, Knowles used GIS to build the empirical framework for her major study of the U.S. iron industry\, Mastering Iron: The Struggle to Modernize an American Industry 1800 – 1868 (University of Chicago Press\, 2012). She is Principal Investigator\, along with Tim Cole and Alberto Giordano\, on the first interdisciplinary project to explore the potential for using GIS and other geospatial methods to study the Holocaust. Knowles is lead editor of Geographies of the Holocaust (Indiana University Press\, 2014). \nAlberto Giordano is Professor and Chair in the Department of Geography at Texas State University. His current research interests are in the geography of genocide and the Holocaust\, Historical GIS\, and spatial forensics. His publications include a coauthored book (in Italian) on geographic data quality\, and several journal articles and book chapters. He is co-editor with Anne Knowles and Tim Cole of Geographies of the Holocaust. He has been Co-Chair of the Historical Geography Network for the Social Science History Association and a Member of the International Cartographic Association commissions on Maps and the Internet and on Spatial Data Quality. He is on the board of the newly established National Center for Research in Geography Education (NCRGE)\, a joint initiative of Texas State and the Association of American Geographers (AAG).  \nThe presentation will be followed by a reception. \nCo-sponsored by the Departments of Geography\, French and Italian\, Jewish Studies\, and History\, as well as the UCSB Interdisciplinary Humanities Center.\nhm 1/11/15
