From histmaj at u.washington.edu Mon Jan 6 10:26:28 2025 From: histmaj at u.washington.edu (HISTORY UNDERGRADUATE ADVISORS via Histmaj) Date: Mon Jan 6 10:26:34 2025 Subject: [Histmaj] Reminder: History Majors and Recent Graduates Needed as Volunteers for the History Lecture Series In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Dear History Students and Recent Alumni, The History Lecture Series is quickly approaching. Taking place on Wednesdays from January 22 through February 12, the event will explore the histories that have taken place along the banks of some of the world's most monumental rivers. This is a wonderful and popular series that is now in its 50th year at UW. I urge you all to attend. To help the series run smoothly, we rely on volunteer assistance. I am looking for a few volunteers that can help us each week with set-up and teardown. We would meet in Smith Hall at 6:30 p.m. to carry materials over to Kane and begin preparing for the lecture (laying out the entrance, reserving seats, checking to make sure the auditorium is ready, etc.). You would greet guests at the door and help collect questions during the Q&A period. After the talk, you will help us tear down and carry materials back to Smith Hall. I anticipate everything wrapping up by around 9:00 p.m. In exchange for your assistance, the department will feed you beforehand (we meet in Smith around 5:30 p.m. to share a meal) and provide you with reserved seating at the event. I am also looking for volunteers who can help with the HLS reception on January 22. Set-up would begin at 5:00 p.m., with clean-up happening at 7:30 p.m. Greeters will also be needed to help check guests in at the door. If you would like to volunteer for the HLS talks and/or the reception, please let Nick Grall (ngrall@uw.edu) know which dates you are available (January 22, January 29, February 5, February 12, the entire series, and/or the reception). Reach out with any questions!

See below. Dear Students, The Office of Undergraduate Research is pleased to announce the call for applications for the 2025 Summer Institute in the Arts & Humanities (SIAH)! 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 Earthworlds: Life in a Turbulent Planet, will be developed and taught by Professors Jesse Oak Taylor and Ipsita Dey along with doctoral student Andr?s Ayala-Patl?n: We don?t live?on?Earth. We live?in?it. This course invites students to think about how different bodies, objects, stories, and movements make (and remake) worlds within the Earth. We will examine how planetary forces shape life here in Cascadia, on the edge of the Pacific, and how our locality is entangled with other sites and histories. Together, we will trouble distinctions between art and science, natural landscapes and human infrastructure, living creatures and inanimate elements. Course activities will blend field trips and creative practices with readings across a range of poems, essays, novels, and other media in order to extend our interpretive practices beyond the classroom, and beyond the human. ?? To learn more about the theme, teaching team, and application process, please visit our website. Applications are due March 3, 2025. We will host two information sessions for interested students on January 16th and 21st ? RSVP here. We hope that you consider applying for this terrific research and learning opportunity!

This is a FUNDED summer opportunity (see attached flyer for details). When students ask me, ?How do I get involved in research?? The Summer Institute for Arts and Humanities ? THIS is one of the best ways to do so! Please consider applying. The deadline is March 3. Good luck! Best, Tracy *************************** Hi Friends, As some of you know, I am on the teaching team for this year's Summer Institute in Arts & Humanities, with a theme of "Earthworlds." The attached flyer has more details, and I wanted to ask if you would be willing to share it with promising students in your current courses, especially any who are broadly interested in environmental humanities types of questions. We would love to have a diversity of disciplines represented, and science students are *absolutely* welcome. They don't have to be arts or humanities majors, though that will be the bent of the program. The attached flyer has more details about this year's theme, and the website linked above has details about the program and application process (note that the application portal is already open).

Message-ID: Historians- We have just settled into Winter 2025, but it is already time to think about Spring registration for History Junior Seminars and Senior Seminars. If you intend to take a History Junior or Senior Seminar, NOW is the time to ask for an add code for the course you would like to take! I know that both Tracy and I have said to almost every new major that you need to plan ahead to get an add code for these class, since they fill up so quickly. This is that time! There are descriptions (below) from the faculty of each Junior and Senior Seminar offered in Spring 2025 to help you make registration choices. The full Spring Time Schedule should now be live. Students should have completed at least two 300-400 level History courses before taking HSTRY 388. And, 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 Advising address (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 in the UW student record and your UW student number. These classes fill VERY quickly, so request your add codes sooner than later. Please do not put this off until registration starts. Junior Seminars: HSTRY 388 A TOPIC: "Star-Spangled Facism" SLN: 15318 W 1:30-3:20pm Prof. Susan Glenn "No swastikas in an American fascism, but Stars and Stripes (or Stars and Bars) and Christian crosses. No fascist salute, but mass recitations of the pledge of allegiance. These symbols contain no whiff of fascism in themselves, of course, but an American fascism would transform them into obligatory litmus tests for detecting the internal enemy." ~Robert O. Paxton, The Anatomy of Fascism (2004), 202. Could Fascism come to the United States? In the 1930s and 1940s, American journalists and social critics warned of and debated the possibility that a home-grown, "star-spangled," form of "fascism" would end democracy as they knew it. In this course, we will explore the basis of that fear. Our readings will cover the persistence of racial terror, the mass production and distribution of antisemitic conspiracy theories, the transnational exchange of antisemitic and pro-fascist ideology, the formation of homegrown pro-Nazi groups, among them the Christian Front and the Silver Shirts, the influence of Charles Lindbergh and the "America First" movement, the proliferation of neo-Nazi and far right racist groups during and after WWII, and more recent expressions of alarm about the fascist potential of Trump and his MAGA movement. *** HSTRY 388 B TOPIC: "Victorian Natural Philosophy" SLN: 15319 MW 12:30-2:20pm Prof. Bruce Hevly This course fulfills a degree requirement for those majoring in History and Philosophy of Science or minoring in History of Science. It is also open to all history students as a junior seminar. While scholars such as Deborah Harkness have argued for the use of the word "science" in English as early as the 16th century, by tradition the history of science has seen nineteenth-century Britain as the site of definition for modern usages of "science" and "scientist". Victorians negotiated over the establishment of specialized disciplines, such as geology; over proper methods to arrive at the truth, by reference to the history of science distilled into philosophy; over the relationships between science and religion; over evolution in biology and energy in physics; and over the place of science as a bulwark of social orthodoxy. We will sample readings on all of these topics, discussing them in class, and each student will pursue a topic of particular interest. The seminar is designed to help students make the transition from lecture courses in history to the kind of independent work expected of history majors in the senior year. Each member of the seminar will practice defining a research topic, generating a bibliography, writing a literature review essay, and producing a project proposal and a research plan. This is a W course. *** HSTRY 388 C TOPIC: "How Republics Die" SLN: 15320 TTh 11:00-12:20pm Prof. Raymond Jonas How do republics die? In this course we examine the demise of two consequential republics: revolutionary France and Weimar Germany. The French republic arose in the same era as the American republic as part of a broad "Atlantic revolution." Yet while the American republic flourished, the French republic collapsed within ten years, toppled by Napol?on Bonaparte, who established an authoritarian regime in its place. The republic founded in Germany in the aftermath of the First World War endured in difficult circumstances until the electoral victory of the Nazi Party created the opportunity for its destruction. In this course, we will look at these cases individually and comparatively. We will examine how each republic came to be, exploring their values, their precedents, and the circumstances present at their founding. We'll also explore the personalities and events that undermined them and the consequences that flowed from their demise. *** HSTRY 388 D TOPIC: "The Persian Gulf and Palestine" SLN: 15321 TTh 1:30-3:20pm Prof. Arbella Bet-Shlimon In this seminar, we will read and write about the Persian Gulf and the countries and places linked to and through it, with a particular focus on the Gulf's links with Palestine. We will consider political and economic transformations in these regions through an era of European and American imperialism; histories of racist and ethnicized differentiation; partition, migration, and diaspora; and other topics. Today, the countries bordering the Gulf-including Iran, Qatar, and the Gulf states in the Abraham Accords-play critical roles in Palestinian and Israeli politics. This course will excavate and examine histories that contextualize and challenge common wisdom about these recent events. In the process, we will think through how historical knowledge is produced by closely reading, discussing, and writing about primary and secondary sources in the classroom and in the library. ************* Senior Seminars HSTRY 494 A TOPIC: "American Empire in Comparative Perspective" SLN: 15324 T 3:30-5:20pm Prof. Vicente Rafael The theme for this colloquium is the United States Empire in Comparative Perspective. We will read some of the more recent scholarship that situates U.S. 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, 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. This is a Writing (W) credits course. *** HSTRY 494 B TOPIC: "History and Memory" SLN: 15325 Tuesday 9:30-11:20am Prof. Elena Campbell This seminar will focus on the problem of collective memory as viewed from the perspective of its social, political and cultural functions, as well as its institutional and cultural expressions. We shall explore the process by which societies construct and make sense of their past through the examination of different forms of commemoration (celebrations, monuments, museums, archives). Special attention will be paid to the relationship between memory and national identity. The case studies will focus on Russia and will be analyzed in comparison with examples from other countries. Finally, we shall discuss the analytical potential of the concept of social memory for historians and other scholars. *** HSTRY 498 A TOPIC: "Before Roe: Reproductive Politics Across the United States, 1967-73" SLN: 15327 W 1:30-3:20pm Prof. Lynn Thomas This class will explore a period in U.S. history that is very similar to our own, a period when abortion laws varied dramatically by state. In the six years prior to the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade, guaranteeing a constitutional right to abortion, 14 states - including Washington - loosened legal restrictions on accessing abortion care. This course will examine why and how those legal changes took place, and who were the people and organizations who supported and opposed them. Students will design research projects focused on a particular state, exploring how abortion debates in the late 1960s and early 1970s were shaped by broader political shifts and struggles around healthcare, sexuality, family, race, women's rights, and religious beliefs. The UW History Department is home to the online civil rights and labor history consortium, a set of website projects. Students in some earlier history 498 seminars have been involved in producing these projects and there may be an opportunity for some students in this class to publish their research papers. You will find the projects here: https://depts.washington.edu/civilr/research_reports.htm This is a writing (W) credits course. *** HSTRY 498 B TOPIC: "The Civil Rights Movement" SLN: 15328 Th 12:30-2:20pm Prof. Travis Wright Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, television screens, newspaper headlines, and radio broadcasts blazed with stories of sit-ins, demonstrations, Supreme Court rulings, and landmark legislation like the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts. These events reshaped American society, leaving behind an enduring legacy that continues to spark debate and activism today. But what do we remember about the Civil Rights Movement, and what stories remain untold? How do these moments connect to ongoing struggles for racial justice? This seminar seeks to answer these questions through an in-depth examination of the Civil Rights Movement. We will use a wide range of primary and secondary sources (films, music, oral histories, memoirs, recent scholarship, and more) to invesetigate the origins and evolution of the movement, exploring not only its iconic leaders and landmark protests but also the lesser-known activists and strategies that fueled and sustained its progress. Additionally, we will consider how the Black struggle for civil rights intersected with contemporaneous feminist, gay rights, labor, and antiwar movements. Through our discussions and research, we will reflect on the movement's profound achievements, its limitations, and its lasting impact on modern society. By the quarter's end, each student will have produced a substantive research paper, grounded in primary and secondary sources.

The BSU was a politicized student organization that had chapters across the West Coast and played a prominent role in the student wing of the Black Power Movement. Through accounts of Black student struggles at two different college campuses in Washington, one urban and one rural, Robinson details how the BSU led highly consequential protest campaigns at both institutions and beyond, which led to reforms such as the establishment of Black Studies programs, increased hiring of Black faculty and staff, and new initiatives to recruit and retain students of color.
