This year's theme, "Seattle and the Salish Sea: Building and Belonging", will explore the history of the region through the lens of groups who have made it home and the challenges faced while trying to build community, adapt, and find belonging. Registration is available at: events.uw.edu/HLS2024 [A close up of a card Description automatically generated] SCHEDULE OF LECTURES January 10 - City and Citizens: Seattleites and Their Rights, 1850-2000 | John Findlay The opening lecture of the series focuses on the changing populations of Seattle and how they were shaped by the nation's evolving concepts of citizenship. It examines the historical demographics of the city and look at what groups of people came to and settled in Seattle over the decades. It also explores how laws and policies regarding citizenship influenced who came and stayed and who was and was not welcome in the city. Largely national in scope, those laws and policies governed immigration and naturalization, voting rights and civil rights, and the status of Native peoples, among other things. Seattleites did not merely accept, apply, and endure federal laws and policies, however. At times they defied national guidelines by trying to substitute their own or by campaigning to redefine who could or could not possess the rights of citizenship. January 17 - Constellations of Kin: Strategies of Belonging for the Snohomish Indian Nation | Josh Reid With varying degrees of success, Snohomish peoples met the challenges of settler expansion by trying to "work the colonial system," including navigating the ever-changing bureaucracy of federal policies and the settler economy, in order to stay in their homelands. This talk focuses largely on the period from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth century and discusses topics related to the Treaty of Point Elliott, the formation of initial reservations in western Washington, Indian boarding schools, and the complexities of Coast Salish identities. January 24 - Mediterranean Imprints and Erasures in Seattle | Devin Naar >From the Central District to Pike Place Market and beyond, migrants from the Mediterranean region have made a notable, if seldom noticed, impact on Seattle's urban fabric over the past century, perhaps no group more than Sephardic Jews from the Ottoman Empire. Discover how Seattle became home to one of the largest communities in the United States of Jews from the Muslim world. What brought them from the Mediterranean--especially towns near Istanbul in Turkey and the island of Rhodes in Greece--to the Pacific Northwest in the twentieth century? What obstacles did they encounter along the way? What opportunities did they find here? How did they interact with both Indigenous and settler societies? How has their sense of community and culture transformed over the generations? January 31 - Russian-American Encounters in Seattle | Elena Campbell Russia and the U.S. are Pacific neighbors by virtue of geography. Did this geographic proximity matter in Seattle's relations with Russia? Explore the multifaceted history of Seattle's engagement with peoples from the Romanov Empire and the Soviet Union which included trade relations and commerce, Russian emigration, the "Red Scare," Russian studies, and citizen diplomacy. February 7 - Homes for Some: Seattle's History of Housing and Racial Exclusion | James Gregory Seattle has a long history of policies and practices that prevented people of certain racial and religious backgrounds from buying, renting, or occupying homes in many parts of the city and surrounding areas. Starting with the 1865 ordinance that banned Indigenous people, this lecture details this history of exclusion by showing how it was implemented through laws, zoning, deed restrictions, redlining, urban renewal, and other governmental actions and through the organized efforts of real estate professionals, banks, and neighborhood associations. The excluded often fought back, and some forms of resistance including campaigns by Black, Japanese American, Chinese American, and Filipino American community groups will be examined. Finally, this talk will also assess the way this history shapes the present, highlighting continuing patterns of housing exclusion and ongoing efforts to open opportunities, including discussion of the 2023 Covenant Homeownership Account Act - HB 1474 proposing compensation to victims of racial restrictive covenants and other forms of state sanctioned housing discrimination.

This summer I am co-teaching the Summer Institute in the Arts and Humanities alongside Annie Dwyer, Rich Watts, and Shelby House. Applications are now open! Please encourage any students who you think might be interested in or benefit from an intensive summer research experience focused on our theme, More-than-Human Worlds: The Poetics and Politics of Life. Below is a description of our theme. You can find more details (including information sessions for students) here and attached. Thanks so much, Mar?a Elena More-than-human Worlds: The Poetics and Politics of Life SIAH 2024 What becomes possible when we decenter the human in the arts and humanities? The 2024 Summer Institute in the Arts and Humanities (SIAH) aims to cultivate an appreciation of plants, water, rocks, and the broader more-than-human-world as agentive, animate, and entangled with human lifeworlds. To this end, the 2024 SIAH will introduce frameworks and methods from Indigenous epistemologies, critical animal studies, multispecies ethnography, and the environmental humanities to explore the human and non-human dimensions of racial formations, settler colonialism, extractive capitalism, captivity, war, and other forms of violence. Ultimately, SIAH students will be encouraged to cross disciplinary and species boundaries in crafting imaginative explorations of the expansive and resilient politics and poetics of life. In the initial weeks, the summer institute teaching team invites students to engage with texts and invited speakers that explore the crisis around conceptions of the human and the toll of human-centeredness, such as climate change and species extinction. With the conceptual tools and frameworks of Indigenous Studies and other critical intellectual traditions, students will explore the more-than-human entanglements at work in multiple forms and genres, like oral narratives, literary fiction and poetry, visual arts, cinema/time-based art, and other forms of storytelling, signifying, and witnessing. The second half of the course allows students to further explore those themes and develop, discuss, and produce in-depth research projects (which can include creative work) with the mentorship of the teaching team. A background in the arts and humanities is not what is most important; rather, it is your interest in joining a respectful, open, and at times difficult conversation about the role of the arts and humanities in reconceptualizing a world that holds many worlds. -- Mar?aElena Garc?a Professor, Comparative History of Ideas Adjunct Faculty in American Indian Studies, Anthropology, Geography, and Gender, Women and Sexuality Studies University of Washington B102 Padelford Hall, Box 354300 Seattle, WA 98195-4300 Phone: 206-221-0561 Fax: 206-543-7400 http://chid.washington.edu/people/maria-elena-garcia Pronouns: ?anay, panay, ella, she, her The University of Washington sits on the occupied homelands of Coast Salish peoples.

SIAH offers an opportunity for undergraduates to engage in scholarly research with accomplished scholars and peers while earning full-time academic credit. Student participants develop individual, original research ideas related to an interdisciplinary theme and formally present their work at a closing symposium. This year?s theme is More-than-Human Worlds: The Poetics and Politics of Life, developed and taught by Professors Mar?a Elena Garc?a, Richard Watts, and Annie Dwyer along with doctoral student Shelby House. Please read their description of the theme below: What becomes possible when we decenter the human in the arts and humanities? This course aims to cultivate an appreciation of the more-than-human-world ?from plants to animals to water to rock?as agentive, animate, and inextricably entangled with human lifeworlds. To this end, the course will introduce frameworks and methods ranging from Indigenous epistemologies to critical animal studies to multispecies ethnography, while reckoning with histories and present realities of racial formation, settler colonialism, extractive industries, captivity, war, and other forms of violence. Ultimately, students in the course will be encouraged to cross disciplinary as well as species boundaries in crafting imaginative responses to the pressing problem of the differential mattering of lives. To learn more about the theme, teaching team, application process and to sign up for an information session, visit our website. Applications are due March 1, 2024. We hope that you consider applying for this terrific research and learning opportunity! If you have any questions, please email us at undergradresearch@uw.edu.

The Time Schedule is now active for the quarter (https://www.washington.edu/students/timeschd/SPR2024/), so you can look there, or in MyPlan for information about how these classes fit with others. Remember that the Time Schedule is always subject to change. For the best chance of success, students should have completed at least two 300-400 level History courses before taking HSTRY 388. Students need to have taken HSTRY 388 before they are eligible to register in HSTRY 494 or 498. If you want to add one of these courses, email the History Advisers (histadv@uw.edu) to be given an add code or to be put on the waiting list. Please remember to give clear information about which section you want to add, and also include your name and UW student number. These classes fill VERY quickly, so request your add codes sooner, rather than later. You do not have to wait for your registration period to ask, because the codes might all have been given out by that time. Junior Seminars for Spring 2024: HSTRY 388 A- sln: 15394; Prof. Susan Glenn, M 130-420 pm Jews and Blacks This course explores the varied, complex, and contradictory ways in which African Americans and American Jews, two historically vulnerable groups, have understood and imagined each other and interacted-both in alliance and solidarity and also in conflict-- in the years between 1915 and the 1990s. In this seminar we will examine the changing politics and polemics of "Jewish/Black relations" in the context of larger national and international developments, paying close attention to the significance of race, racism, and power differentials and dynamics at home and abroad. Our sources include the writings of activists, journalists, social scientists, cultural critics, playwrights, poets, and novelists as well as the work of visual artists and filmmakers. HSTRY 388 B- sln: 15395; Prof. Bruce Hevly, MW 100-220 pm Colloquium in the History of Science: The Manhattan Project For this year's colloquium we will consider the Manhattan Project as a problem for historians of science. The recent film Oppenheimer has raised some of the classic issues surrounding the events leading up to the use of nuclear weapons by the United States at the end of World War II, and provides scope for research in history of science and technology, as well as environmental, political, and military history (at least). For history of science, a central issue is the problem of biography -- individual and collective -- and by extension, so-called "physicists' histories" of the Manhattan Project. HSTRY 388 C- sln: 15396; Prof. Julie Osborn, TTh 1100-1220 pm Reimagining the Seventies: Historiography, Historical Method and 1970s America The United States in the 1970s is often considered the twentieth-century's most forgettable decade, a footnote between the tumultuous 1960s and the Reagan revolution. When remembered, it is often considered an anomaly, an era characterized by its distinctive popular culture and aesthetic choices but not worthy of much academic inquiry. In this class we will join a small chorus of historians who have attempted to take the decade seriously, as it was a period marked by important political shifts, economic restructuring, meaningful conversations about "morality," religion and sex/gender and a backlash that swiftly met these new ideas. In this course we will operate with a dual purpose. In addition to looking at the historical events of the decade and why they mattered, we will approach those events by carefully considering historical methods and historiographical approaches more broadly. Each week we will consider a set of events through particular historiographical frames, we will attempt to disentangle the threads, and to reassemble them, building to an individual research project that applies one of the historical methods to some aspect of American history in the 1970s. The goal of this 388 is to use the 1970s as our shared temporal home base but to bring in each student's individual interests in terms of methodology and subfield. Students are expected to read widely in assigned course readings and the research materials relevant to individual projects and execute and manage all stages of a research project, including the formulation of a sound historical argument. Students are also expected to participate actively in discussions, group work, and any online work that is assigned. The goal of this 388 is to deepen your understanding of what it means to practice history, think historically, generate cogent historical questions, and produce sophisticated historical writing that engages primary and secondary sources on a novel topic. Senior Seminars for Spring 2024 HSTRY 494 A- sln: 15399; Prof. Vicente Rafael, M 330 pm-520 pm The American Empire in Comparative Perspective We will read some of the more recent scholarship that situates US national and imperial histories in relation to other imperial and postcolonial histories--for example, those of Spain, Britain, Native American and an emergent "Third World"--around such topics as imperial ideology, war, slavery and abolition, nationalism, settler colonialism and diplomacy; along the axis of race, gender and immigration. The goal of the course is to develop some ways of thinking critically and comparatively about the paradoxical nature of the United States as simultaneously an empire and a republic, at once peripheral and central to the spread and mutation of a certain "Western" civilization, a place founded on democratic institutions and ideas, yet sustained by undemocratic practices and ideologies. HSTRY 498 A- sln: 15401; Prof. Jordanna Bailkin, T 130 pm-320 pm The Global History of Human Rights This course explores the history of the idea of human rights from the ancients to the present day. We will treat human rights not as an abstract philosophical concept, but as policies that emerge in specific historical contexts - from 15th-century Spanish debates about whether Native Americans were rights-bearing subjects to 21st-century controversies about organ trafficking. We will move through the histories of colonial expansion and contraction, war, revolution, migration, and transformations of global capital that have shaped thought and practice about human rights. We will survey the many sites and actors that have participated in human rights debates, from courts to grassroots organizations, and conflicts that have emerged over humanitarian interventions. Finally, we will consider how modern states have acted both as protectors and as violators of human rights. The course is designed to help us understand the relationship between ethics and historical studies, and the ways in which particular narratives about rights can have profound - even life and death - consequences. HSTRY 498 B- sln: 15402; Prof. Mark Letteney, W 1030 pm-1220 pm Writing the History of the Prison In this class, we will read books which attempt to write the history of the prison - both the history of the institution of "the prison," and histories of specific prisons in the ancient, medieval, and modern world. We will focus on understanding how historians use disparate forms of evidence to make their claims, from architecture to letters to interviews to art depicting prisoners, and by them. Each week we will read one major study tracing carceral history, and by the end of the quarter students will produce a prison history of their own, focused on a period or location of their choosing.
