Fall 2009

October 29, 2009: Faculty Community Seminar

This event follows the successful inaugural seminar by Rainer Buschmann in Spring 2009.

Our second Seminar will feature our colleague from California Lutheran University, Dr. Richard Derderian, who will talk on “The French Melting Pot: Immigration and National Memory.”  France has a richer immigration history than any other country in Europe. In fact, by the 1930s, France was one of the world's leading per capita destination for immigrants—surpassing even the United States.  Why then has immigration never figured prominently in the French national identity?
Learn more about the story of immigration in France and the histories of the North African and Vietnamese communities in particular.

Spring 2008 Announcement

John Gillis is on campus on April 26 (Friday) giving a talk in Aliso Hall (2:00-3:30) for the "Global Histories and their Futures" lecture series.  The title of his talk is "First and Last Frontiers: Coasts in Human History."

John R. Gillis is a historian, now retired from Rutgers University and living in Berkeley,
California. He is the author or editor of ten books dealing with a wide range of social
and cultural topics. The most recent is Islands of the Mind, was published in 2004. He
is now at work on a study of coasts in human history, tentatively titled Back to the Sea.

John took his BA at Amherst College and his PhD at Stanford. He taught at Stanford before
moving on to Princeton and then to Rutgers, where he was a member of the faculty for
thirty four years. While he began as a German historian, he turned to British social
history in the 1960s, writing books on age relations (Youth and History, 1974)), marriage
(For Better, For Worse: British Marriages 1600 to the Present, 1985), and family cultures
(A World of Their Own Making: Myth, Ritual, and the Quest for Family Values, 1996).
He began to turn his attention to global history in the 1990s, hence the book on islands
in 2004.

Gillis has been a fellow of colleges at both Oxford and Cambridge Universities. He has been a resident fellow in both Denmark and Sweden, as well as at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington and the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford. Most recently, as a Fulbright Senior Specialist in island studies, he was a visiting professor at Prince Edward Island University in Canada.

The experience of spending more than forty summers on a small island off the coast of Maine
encouraged Gillis’ exploration of the place that isles have had in the western imagination. Now bicoastal by virtue of his residence in Berkeley, he is using the same cultural geographical perspective to explore the changing meaning of coasts in human history. Having personally experienced in both Maine and the Bay Area the massive coastal changes of recent decades, he aims in his new book to take on our collective amnesia about the long history of Homo Littoralis, to provide an important corrective to a historical literature that has paid scant attention to coastal societies as opposed to the world’s heartlands. In correcting the bias toward land over sea, Back to the Sea reveals the amphibious dimensions of human existence.

Aware of the treasure trove of historical experience that is available to us if only we would
seek it, John Gillis is concerned to join the current discussion of littorals presently dominated
by marine biologists and geologists. As a global historian, knowledgable about the Atlantic rim but also the shores of the Pacific, he is aware of a diversity of coastal cultures that can enrich our understanding and guide our solutions to problems accumulating on shores all around the world.  In short, as a coastal dweller, he thinks there should be a place at the table for a historical perspective that, informed by the ecological sciences and by anthropology, takes into account not only deep time but also the diversity of the world’s geographies.

More about John Gillis can be found in his Wikipedia entry, as well as the Rutgers University History Department website.

Professor Nian-Sheng Huang's research proposal "The Poor in Early Massachusetts" was awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship, which would allow him to continue his search and writing at the Massachusetts Historical Society in Boston for 2007-08. For the last several years, the same research project has won several CSUCI faculty development grants. It has also won the Benjamin Franklin Stevens Fellowship at the Massachusetts Historical Society in 2003, a Peterson Fellowship at the American Antiquarian Society in 2005, and a New England Regional Consortium Fellowship in 2006. The latest long-term NEH-MHS Fellowship is a significant national recognition of the importance of the project. It provides much needed time and sponsorship for him to bring the book-length project to completion. Professor Huang will be on leave from June to December 2007.

Extensively researched and highly anticipated as one of the best manuscripts on the topic for the last thirty years, her new book will certainly make a significant contribution to the scholarship and understanding of Mexican history. Professor Marie Francois is an expert in Mexican history and she just joined the history faculty in fall 2006. Our warm congratulations to her!

We are very sad to announce that Dr. Kenneth Kurz passed away this last summer because of complications after a surgery. A full-time lecturer in American history for 2005-06 AY, Ken was a committed, hard working, and enthusiastic instructor. His was a wonderful colleague, and we will always remember his significant contributions to the program and his good cheer. We share the feelings expressed by Emily Ramsey, one of his many students-- "Dr. Kurz was the kind of professor who kept his students perpetually engaged. Never dull, there will never be another teacher like him."

(5-1-06) News from Women History

History 414: Women's Stories, Women's Lives has begun an oral history project, which will be preserved in the CSUCI library archives. The program is entitled "A Generation Apart: The Women of California Oral History Project". It contains transcripts of oral histories conducted by history 414 students under the guidance of Dr. Christina Gessler (American University, 2002).

All students choose a woman of one generation older [or younger] than they are, and interview the woman about the personal story that was most pivotal to her life. Archived stories will include such diverse life stories as the role of birth control in a married woman's life, working for the department of defense, mother/daughter relationships, being a Jewish American woman during WWII, growing up in a coal mine, being an aerospace wife, and serving as a WASP. All students who enroll in future history 414 courses with Dr. Gessler will be asked to contribute a new transcript to the project.

Dr. Gessler developed this project because of two key beliefs: that ordinary women's lives are an integral part of US history and thus must be studied, respected and preserved; and that history students need to learn not to just study history, but to make history.

(4-10-06)

On April 20, Instructor Christina Gessler will present a paper to the panel of "The Family, Marriage and Work, 1850-1940" at the annual meeting of the Organization of American Historians, Washington D.C.

Record Turnout at Father Greg Boyle's Presentation (10-13-05)

Father Greg Boyle, East Los Angeles Homeboy Industries, gave a moving speech last night about how educators, the community, and law enforcement could work cooperatively to end youth violence and crime. Professor Frank Barajas initiated and organized this event, which was a great success. The turnout was amazing. At least 196 people signed in as they entered Conference Hall Number One. Jerilee Petralba added, however, who helped a great deal to facilitate the event, "I know a lot more people didn't sign in. So it's safe to say that over 200 people attended the event. Around 77 were from the community. Demographics ranged from judge, attorney, officer, activists, senior citizens, gang members, press, community groups, social workers, youth workers/leaders, high school students, faculty members of neighboring high schools and colleges. It was a great turnout!" Congratulations to Frank for giving our university and the community such an impressive opportunity to appreciate Father Greg Boyle, and many thanks to Frank and Jerilee for all your hard work to bring this event to a great success.
