Doors open at 5 PM with opening remarks starting\nat 5:45 PM. Dr. Rebecca MacAlpine\ , a History Department alumna\, will\nbe this year’s guest speaker. Dr. Rebecca MacAlpine's talk is\ntitled: Shaming and Blaming: The Process of P roving Paternity in\nSeventeenth Century Somerset.\n\nOver the course of t he seventeenth century\, 1298 women came before the\nSomerset Quarter Sess ions to secure financial resources for the upkeep\nof their unborn childre n. In these records\, we find marginalized\nvoices of women silenced first by their experiences with the alleged\nfathers of their children and then by the courts whose objective was\nto avoid economic responsibility under the new Poor Laws of 1576. As a\nresult\, this process ensured that women ’s voices were present but\nultimately silenced. This talk will explore how we can use Quarter\nSession records to uncover the lived experiences o f unwed mothers in\nearly modern Somerset. It will highlight how the proce dural mechanisms\nembedded in the Sessions further victimized unwed mother s and\nrepresents a form of institutionalized gender-based violence.\n\nTi ckets for students are priced at $25 and non-student tickets are\n$35.\n DTSTAMP:20250527T073153Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:68356a6911c35 DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20250225T120000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20250225T130000 URL:/history/events/hivaids-activism-africa-historical- perspectives-and-current SUMMARY: HIV/AIDS Activism in Africa: Historical Perspectives and Current\n Challenges CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nIn this talk\, Idah Mukuka Nambeya – an internati onally-recognized\nHIV/AIDS activist from Zambia – reflects on the histo ry of African\nHIV/AIDS activism and the current challenges facing communi ty\norganizations due to the recent USAID freeze. During the 2000s\, many\ ngrassroots organizations relied heavily on USAID to fund their\nprograms and initiatives aimed at combating the AIDS epidemic. The\nPresident's Eme rgency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)\, launched in 2004\,\nwas a major sou rce of funding and support for these organizations.\n\nHowever\, the recen t freeze on USAID has created a challenging\nenvironment for these organiz ations. Many have had to halt their\nactivities and programs due to a lack of funding. This has had a\ndirect impact on the communities they serve\, as access to essential\nservices such as HIV testing\, treatment\, and pr evention has been\ndisrupted.\n\nIn Zambia\, grassroots organizations have played a crucial role in\nraising awareness about HIV/AIDS\, providing ed ucation and support to\naffected individuals\, and advocating for policy c hanges. The USAID\nfreeze has put these efforts at risk\, making it more d ifficult for\nthese organizations to continue their work and support the c ommunities\nthat rely on them. \n DTSTAMP:20250527T073153Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:68356a69125a2 DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20250210T120000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20250210T130000 URL:/history/events/history-speakers-series-presents-he nry-tsang SUMMARY:History Speakers Series Presents: Henry Tsang CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\n_White Riot: The 1907 Anti-Asian Riots in Vancouver _is based on 360\nRiot Walk\, a 360 video walking tour that traces the hi story and route\nof the mob that attacked the Chinese Canadian and Japanes e Canadian\ncommunities following the demonstration and parade organized b y the\nAsiatic Exclusion League in Vancouver.
