Digital History Colloquium - Is YouTube the New Frontier for Historians?
Please join us, either in-person or online, for the third presentation of the 2023-24 Digital History Colloquium Series.
YouTube has emerged as the most influential video platform globally, with Google statistics showing that 86% of US viewers use it to learn new skills and knowledge. History content ranks among the most popular on the platform, yet few YouTubers have formal training in history.
PhD Candidate David Ting-chieh Ou-yang produces a Chinese-language YouTube channel, which covers a wide range of historical events and has attracted over 50,000 subscribers. Drawing on his experience, he will explore why it is crucial for historians and scholars in adjacent fields to engage with YouTube history content, and how they can effectively do so using Adobe After Effects and other software tools
As always, the Digital History Colloquium offers a casual forum for the exchange of ideas, with sessions limited to one hour. So feel free to bring lunch, and come as you are!

Noomi Rapace in Nordic Action
Noomi Rapace is a stellar exception: she is the only woman – to date – to star in Nordic action film. The heroines she plays must be globally recognizable, yet somehow also “Nordic.” What makes her films Nordic action, and what makes them Nordic action? What does the combination suggest for her performances???
Chris Holmlund loves movies! She has been president of SCMS (the Society for Cinema and Media Studies); now Professor Emerita, she continues to happily conduct research. For many years she taught film studies at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville – near Dollywood. Her books include Female Trouble (Arsenal Pulp Press, 2017) and Impossible Bodies (Routledge, 2002), and (as editor or co-editor) Action Cinema Since 2000 (Bloomsbury/BFI, 2024 – just out!), The Ultimate Stallone Reader (Wallflower/Columbia University Press, 2014), American Cinema of the 1990s (Rutgers University Press, 2008), Contemporary American Independent Film (Routledge, 2004) and Between the Sheets, In the Streets: Queer, Lesbian,…

Thomas Schelling, the United States, and China’s Rise
Thomas J. Christensen
James T. Shotwell Professor of International Relations
School of International and Public Affairs
Columbia University
Thomas Schelling’s theoretical work on coercive diplomacy carries important lessons for U.S. security policy toward a rising China. This talk will address the challenges in combining credible threats and credible assurances in deterring a PRC military attack on Taiwan and the need to differentiate clearly between unconditional restrictions on the transfer of militarily relevant technology to China and conditional threats to punish China economically if Beijing adopts certain proscribed policies.

Anton Hur, "Translator Jetlag: Voice and the World We Build" |Translator's Lecture
What do we mean when we say a character or an author—or even a translator—has a “voice”? What is the difference between a work of prose that has a voice and one that doesn’t? And how do translators bring a “voice” to life? In this talk, Anton Hur will examine the idea of voice in literary translation. He will focus on the practice of “triangulation,” or the zeroing in on a narrative voice, and “translator jetlag,” or the tendency for translators to require periods of adjustment between book-length projects defined by different narrative voices.
Anton Hur is the author of Toward Eternity and No One Told Me Not To. He is a prolific translator of numerous books, including the bestseller by and about the Korean boy band BTS. His translation of Bora Chung’s Cursed Bunny was shortlisted for the 2022 International Booker Prize and the 2023 National Book Award for Translated Literature.
Anton Hur's work will be available through Third Place Books, which has a comprehensive selection of Anton Hur’s translations…

There will be a pre-circulated paper for this event, so attendees should RSVP via email to vfreije@uw.edu to receive a copy.
Many histories of Cold War science assume bipolarity as the most salient dynamic, organizing international scientific practices and projects into one of the world’s two core blocs. Such Cold War historiography overlooks collaboration across Cold War fractures, the practices of unaligned scientists, or the possibility of a multipolar Cold War. The International Geophysical Year (1957-58)–in which 67 countries across 14 disciplines collaborated to study the earth–is a moment whose complexity requires analysis that exceeds dominant Cold War historicizations. Geophysical researchers needed to negotiate science’s demand for universal knowledge within a world structured by the Cold War’s demand for geopolitical alliances. Mexico, with its long seismologic tradition and non-interventionist foreign policy, offers a unique vantage point from which to examine this moment in the history of earth…

Merchants of Virtue: Hindus, Muslims, and Untouchables in Eighteenth-Century South Asia
Lecture from Divya Cherian (Princeton University)
Register | Campus map | Visitor parking info
What did it mean to be Hindu in pre-colonial India? Through a discussion of everyday life and local politics in the kingdom of Marwar in the eighteenth century, this presentation will show that an alliance between existing landed elites and a newly ascendant mercantile class remade the category “Hindu.” A key element of this new articulation of an early modern Hindu identity were vegetarianism and an embrace of non-harm (ahimsa). Based on extensive research into the administrative records of the region, this presentation will show how political mobilizations of the ethical ideal of non-harm as the pre-colonial era came to a close fashioned not just a new Hindu identity but also a more starkly defined “Untouchable.” This research challenges the projection of dyadic conceptions of Hindu and Muslim onto the pre-colonial past and…

TALK | Oxana Shevel - Russia and Ukraine: Entangled Histories, Diverging States
REGISTRATION REQUIRED: Please register at https://bit.ly/42L6nfx
ABOUT THE LECTURE
In February 2022, Russian missiles rained on Ukrainian cities and tanks rolled towards Kyiv to end Ukrainian independent statehood. President Zelensky declined a western evacuation offer and rallied the army and citizens to defend Ukraine. What are the roots of this war which has devastated Ukraine, upended the international legal order, and brought back the spectre of nuclear escalation? How is it that these supposedly “brotherly peoples” became each other’s worst nightmare?
In Russia and Ukraine: Entangled Histories, Divergent States, Maria Popova and Oxana Shevel explain how over the last thirty years Russia and Ukraine diverged politically ending up on a catastrophic collision course. Russia slid back into authoritarianism and imperialism, while Ukraine consolidated a competitive political system and pro-European identity. As Ukraine built a democratic nation-state, Russia refused to accept it and came to see it as an…

CANADA | Herring Protectors: Indigenous Fisheries Management on the Northwest Coast
REGISTER HERE
Pacific herring are foundational to the lifeways of First Nations and Indigenous communities up and down the coast of British Columbia and Alaska. As government entities manage the herring for commercial production and profit, Indigenous elders have witnessed the depletion of sustaining abundance. Communities in both Canada and the United States continue to pursue legal action and political activism to regain control of herring fisheries and protect them from overfishing.
We invite you to join us for a screening of the film, Yaá at Wooné: Respect for All Things, which shows the importance of herring for thousands of years, the risks they currently face, and envision a way forward that centers Indigenous sovereignty and traditional ecological knowledge.
After the film, stay for a discussion with representatives from The Herring Protectors, an Alaska-based grassroots movement led by Indigenous women, for a discussion of the state of Pacific herring fisheries and what can be learned and shared…

Presenter: Christina Yuen Zi Chung, GWSS Ph.D. Candidate
Respondent: Ananya Sikand, Department of Art + Art History + Design
Christina YZ Chung’s dissertation project, titled: “At the Seams of the World: Gender and Decoloniality in Hong Kong Contemporary Art” examines the overlooked relationship between gender and decoloniality in Hong Kong that is visualized through analyses of contemporary art. Countering the marginal status of gender-related discourse in Hong Kong, this project unearths its political centrality by relating gender to Hong Kong’s colonial conditions and articulates how contemporary art visualizes decolonial practices of being that illuminate alternative political horizons. On the occasion of this colloquium, Christina’s presentation of her dissertation project will interweave personal reflections on the journey of her research and dissertation writing, producing a reflexive discussion of the dissertation’s theoretical, analytical, and methodological content.

COM Colloquium by Angèle Christin, "Follow Me: Influencers, Platforms, and the Rise of the Follower Economy"
Follow Me: Influencers, Platforms, and the Rise of the Follower Economy, Angèle Christin, Stanford University, Zoom Link
Who are social media influencers, and how do their careers and revenues shape the kind of content we see online? I present an ethnographic study of content creators on social media platforms, which draws on cases ranging from vegan YouTubers to “dad” influencers and influencer marketers. Based on this material, I show how structural forces reproduce precarity as well as gender and racial inequality in social media careers, while also nudging influencers toward interpersonal “drama” and sometimes the production of problematic content. Moving beyond the case of influencers, I develop the concept of the "follower economy" to explain these transformations in how we communicate and present ourselves offline.
Angèle Christin is an associate professor in the Department of Communication and the faculty director of the Digital Civil Society Lab at Stanford University. She studies how algorithms…

Attendees can expect to gain insights into lexical, syntactic, and interactional changes, such as the integration of Russian words with Kazakh endings and the use of Russian expressions with Kazakh translations. Additionally, the presenter will discuss the implications of these findings for language learners and educators, offering practical strategies for navigating the complexities of modern Kazakh conversation.

Empowering the Margins: The Roles of NGOs among Ethnic Highlanders in Thailand
More than ten highland ethnic groups reside in north Thailand. These groups include
some one million people. Generally referred to as “hill tribes,” these groups have long been
perceived as primitive and dangerous others. Since the late 1950s, the Thai government
began launching development programs geared towards solving the “hill tribe problem.”
These top-down development programs have generally resulted in a situation where ethnic
highlanders have become Thai at the cost of losing their ethnic identities. In addition, many
ethnic highlanders continue to lack equal rights to citizenship, land ownership and
management, educational opportunities, and other basic infrastructures. More recently, ethnic
highlanders have developed their own grassroots movements to better address their situations
and empower themselves. Several non-governmental organizations (NGOs) initiated by both
outsiders and young ethnic leaders have played an important role in the development and
advancement of these grassroots movements. In…

"Presidential Accountability in Wartime." Book talk with author Stuart Streichler in conversation with UW Political Science Professor Jamie Mayerfeld.
Monday, May 13, 3:30-5:00 pm, Petersen Room, Allen Library. About the Book: The American presidency has long tested the capacity of the system of checks and balances to constrain executive power, especially in times of war. While scholars have examined presidents starting military conflicts without congressional authorization or infringing on civil liberties in the name of national security, Stuart Streichler focuses on the conduct of hostilities. Using the treatment of war-on-terror detainees under President George W. Bush as a case study, he integrates international humanitarian law into a constitutional analysis of the repercussions of presidential war powers for human rights around the world. In doing so, Presidential Accountability in Wartime not only raises questions about whether international humanitarian law can moderate wartime presidential behavior…

TALK | Our Enemies will Vanish: The Russian Invasion and Ukraine's War of Independence with Yaroslav Trofimov
Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Yaroslav Trofimov has spent months on end at the heart of the conflict, very often on its front lines. In this authoritative account, he traces the war’s decisive moments—from the battle for Kyiv to more recently the gruelling and bloody arm wrestle involving the Wagner group over Bakhmut—to show how Ukraine and its allies have turned the tide against Russia, one of the world’s great military powers, in a modern-day battle of David and Goliath. Putin had intended to conquer and annex Ukraine with a vicious blitzkrieg, redrawing the map of Europe in a few short weeks with seismic geopolitical consequences. But in the face of this existential threat, the Ukrainian people fought back, turning what looked like certain defeat into a great moral victory, even as the territorial battle continues to seesaw to this day. This is the story of the epic bravery of the Ukrainian people—people Trofimov knows very well.
For Trofimov, this war is deeply personal. He grew up in…

Today, humanity is reaching new heights of scientific understanding—and at the same time appears to be losing its mind. Why do we find ourselves flooded with fake news, medical quackery, conspiracy theorizing, and “post-truth” rhetoric? It can’t be that humans are just an irrational species — cavemen out of time saddled with biases, fallacies, and illusions. After all, we discovered the laws of nature, lengthened and enriched our lives, and discovered the benchmarks for rationality itself. Instead, we think in ways that are sensible in the low-tech contexts in which we spend most of our lives, but fail to take advantage of the powerful tools of reasoning our best thinkers have discovered over the millennia: logic, critical thinking, probability, correlation and causation, and optimal ways to update beliefs and commit to choices individually and with others. Also, the rational pursuit of self-interest, sectarian solidarity, and uplifting mythology by individuals can add up to crippling irrationality in a socie…

GWSS Spring Colloquium: “Nascent moves: Loss, Desire, and In/Visible LGBTQ Resistances in Bangladesh,” presented by Saad Khan
Presenter: Saad Khan, GWSS Ph.D. Candidate
Moderator: Marielle Marcaida, GWSS Ph.D. Candidate
“Nascent moves” investigates the materiality of modes of coming together and collectivizing for pleasure, sociality, and political achievement in the LGBTQ activist scene in Bangladesh. In this colloquium, Khan will introduce the main arguments of his dissertation around themes of archive, loss, desire, failure, and development, and share ethnographic vignettes, particularly focusing on his first chapter: Ephemeral archives ~ Lesbian, Gay, and Hijra publics. He asks: Why do people keep documents of their life as valued objects? How to analyze these valued objects? He builds on queer scholarship to think about research methodologies, the concept of ‘nascent’ and explore how value of queer archives comes from their claim to futurity in the face of violence and erasure.
The University of Washington is committed to providing access, equal opportunity and reasonable accommodation in its services, programs,…

Psychology Edwards Colloquium with Edmund Lalor, Ph.D., University of Rochester
This is a hybrid event - in person and livestreamed on Zoom.
Modeling Speech-To-Language Transformations in the Human Brain, Edmund Lalor, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Department of Neuroscience and Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Rochester
To transform speech into words, the human brain must accommodate variability across utterances in intonation, speech rate, volume, accents and so on. A promising approach to explaining this process has been to model electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings of brain responses to speech. In this talk, I will describe our use of this approach over the past decade to understand how the human brain transforms speech to language and how this transformation is affected by attention and visual input.
This lecture made possible in part by a generous endowment from Professor Allen L. Edwards.
Faculty host: Joe Sisneros, sisneros@uw.edu

COM Colloquium by Debra Hawhee, "Extinction Art, Climate Rhetoric, and the Work of Finding Presence"
Extinction Art, Climate Rhetoric, and the Work of Finding Presence, Debra Hawhee, Pennsylvania State University
To galvanize action in response to the climate crisis, it is insufficient to present findings; the task at hand is, rather, to find presence. Such is one of the main claims of A Sense of Urgency: How the Climate Crisis is Changing Rhetoric. To extend that claim, and to further delineate the rhetorical potency of climate art, this talk will consider the extinction art of Andrea Bowers and Elizabeth Turk, two artists whose work finds presence in the face of species extinction. Bowers’s “Eco Grief Extinction Series” (acrylic paintings of birds and humans) and Turk’s “Tipping Point: Echoes of Extinction” (a set of sculptured bird vocalizations) meet extinction by foregrounding mood and silence respectively. They do so by—and help to theorize—the aesthetic and modal possibilities of mood and of silence, materializing presence in the context of decay, loss, and absence.

On Thursday, May 16 from 3:30 to 5pm in THO 317 and online, the UW Taiwan Studies Program will welcome Professor Meredith Schweig to discuss her newest book Renegade Rhymes: Rap Music, Narrative, and Knowledge in Taiwan (University of Chicago Press, 2022).
Renegade Rhymes invites readers into Taiwan’s vibrant underground hip-hop scene to explore the social, cultural, and political dynamics of life in a post-authoritarian democracy. Beginning in the immediate aftermath of martial law (1949-1987), the book follows Taiwan’s earliest rappers and DJs as they critiqued the island’s political system, spun tales from their perspectives as members of marginalized ethnic communities, and reimagined previously suppressed local musical forms. A series of ethnographic and historical chapters trace an arc between these earliest interventions and the innovations of present-day musicians, who grapple with ongoing existential uncertainty imposed by the island’s ambiguous geopolitical status and accelerating neoliberalization…

Please join us, either in-person or online, for the final presentation of the 2023-24 Digital History Colloquium Series.
Technology to create 3D facsimiles of real-world objects has been available for decades, and yet the workflow has only become widely accessible for non-specialists in the past five years.
Professor Mark Letteney has been in the vanguard of assessing the new opportunities that this changing technological landscape can provide. His presentation will introduce the methods of 3D modeling as used by historians and archaeologists, and discuss two broad categories of use for these digital assets: models as research process, and models as research product.
Examples will derive from Letteney's collaborative project on incarceration in the ancient Mediterranean world, but with emphasis placed on the broader applicability of these tools to research in history and associated fields.
As always, the Digital History Colloquium offers a casual forum for the exchange of ideas, with sessions limited to…

LECTURE | Rupal Oza (Hunter College) | Semiotics of Rape: Sexual Subjectivity and Violation in Rural India
Semiotics of Rape: Sexual Subjectivity and Violation in Rural India
Lecture from Rupal Oza (Hunter College)
Register | Campus map | Visitor parking info
In Semiotics of Rape, Rupal Oza follows the social life of rape in rural northwest India to reveal how rape is not only a violation of the body but a language through which a range of issues—including caste and gender hierarchies, control over land and labor, and the shape of justice—are contested. Rather than focus on the laws governing rape, Oza closely examines rape charges to show how the victims and survivors of rape reclaim their autonomy by refusing to see themselves as defined entirely by the act of violation. Oza also shows how rape cases become arenas where bureaucrats, village council members, caste communities, and the police debate women’s sexual subjectivities and how those varied understandings impact the status and reputations of individuals and groups. In this way, rape gains meaning beyond the level of the survivor and victim to create a…

An introduction to Bayesian inference for hypothesis testing and effect size estimation, Henk Kiers, Ph.D. Professor in Statistics and data analysis, University of Groningen, The Netherlands
Jorge Tendeiro, Professor in Bayesian statistics and inference, Hiroshima University, Japan
Bayesian inference has been receiving widespread attention in recent years in psychology. The main reason behind this may be a growing dissatisfaction with classical null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) and the p-value. Null hypothesis Bayesian testing (NHBT) and its Bayes factor (the "Bayesian p-value") are now often referred to as worthy replacements for NHST and the p-value. In this workshop we offer a gentle introduction to the Bayes factor. Furthermore, we will emphasize that, just as NHST needs to be accompanied by effect size estimates, so does NHBT. And it so happens that the latter…

Turkic and Central Eurasian Studies Seminar: Language Oppression in Tibet
Turkic and Central Eurasian Studies Seminar: Language Oppression in Tibet
Professor Gerald Roche, La Trobe University Australia
Thousands of language communities around the world today face an uncertain future, with estimates suggesting that half the world’s languages will no longer be used by the end of the century. This talk will examine the broad global issue through a localized case study, the Manegacha speakers of the northeast Tibetan Plateau, in what is today the People’s Republic of China.
Currently, the Manegacha language is in the process of being replaced by Tibetan, which is itself a minoritized language within China under threat from the national language, Mandarin.
Drawing on extensive research in Tibet stretching back nearly two decades, this talk will discuss the complex political dynamics driving this situation in relation to state-building, nationalism, global civil society, and everyday violence. It will challenge conventional wisdom about Sino-Tibetan relations, and offer new insights i…

This is a hybrid event.
Bayesian alternatives to null hypothesis significance testing, Henk Kiers, Ph.D. Professor in Statistics and data analysis, University of Groningen, The Netherlands
Jorge Tendeiro, Professor in Bayesian statistics and inference, Hiroshima University, Japan
Null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) and its p-value are ubiquitous in scientific practice. However, misuse and misinterpretation of these crucial tools is well documented. Various suggestions to fix, or replace, NHST have been offered. In this talk we will discuss some options that fall under the Bayesian inferential framework. We will introduce null hypothesis Bayesian testing (NHBT) and its Bayes factor as the direct Bayesian analogues to NHST and the p-value, respectively. Important differences between the two approaches will be highlighted. Furthermore, we will emphasize that, just as NHST needs to be accompanied by effect size estimates, so does NHBT. We will recall a simple relation between Bayesian estimation of…

Nearly fifty years after the end of the war in Vietnam, American children of Vietnamese refugees continue to process the meanings of the war and its consequences through creative work. Analyzing social science studies, policy, and the art, film, music, and literature of Vietnamese Americans as cultural productions, Displacing Kinship examines how these representations of Vietnamese refugee families register not simply the lived experiences of war, but rather the day to day experiences of racism and marginalization.
