SUMMARY:Margo Anderson to Speak on Her Recently Published Co-Authored Book
DESCRIPTION:As part of our noon talk tradition\, the Department of History is pleased to announce that our colleague Margo Anderson is stepping in to deliver a talk based on her recently published co-authored book\, Use and Misuse of the United States Census: The Role of Data in the Incarceration of Japanese Americans During World War II.   Thanks to the department’s sunshine fund\, we will also have some light snacks. \nTitle:  \nDon’t Do It Again: The Relevance of the “Japanese Internment” during World War II to the Trump Administration’s Efforts to Harass\, Intimidate and\nControl Americans\, Deport Immigrants\, and Reshape the American State\,  \nMargo Anderson\, Distinguished Professor Emerita\, History & Urban Studies \n  \nA Reading \nSubjects of Japanese internment\nFrom my new book with William Seltzer\, Use and Misuse of the United States Census: The Role of Data in the Incarceration of Japanese Americans During World War II [New York: Springer Nature\, 2024]\, the talk will delve into our research process and relate the historical narrative of the Nikkei incarceration during WWII to the Trump II issues of immigration control\, birthright citizenship\, and the role of “data” in the American state. \nThe Story: \nBetween late February and August 1942\, the U.S. Army Western Defense Command\, based in San Francisco\, rounded up and incarcerated 100\,000+ West Coast Americans of Japanese ancestry\, who were housed in concentration camps across the country during the war. The Census Bureau provided technical expertise\, small area tabulations from the 1940 Census [down to block level in cities where available]\, and developed and administered a population registration system to monitor the incarcerated. Two thirds were U.S. citizens. The incarcerated did not receive due process hearings\, on the grounds that ‘military necessity’ required their rapid removal. Courts and Congress at the time supported the program. \nIn the 1960s and 1970s\, the Japanese American community and civil rights supporters formed a “redress” movement to reexamine the program. The congressional Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians repudiated the program in 1982\, finding that “racial prejudice\, wartime hysteria\, and a failure of political leadership\,” not “military necessity\,” were the “causes” of the program. The government provided token reparations to survivors.  In 2000\, the Census Bureau acknowledged its role in the incarceration and apologized. \nThe Message: \nHow and why did the federal government do it?  And what are the lessons for our current crisis? \n

SUMMARY:The McGaffey Lecture Series Features the 2025 Rausing Prize Laureate
DESCRIPTION:The History Department’s distinguished lecture will address museums and extinction.\nPlease join us on Friday\, April 25\, 2025 from 3 to 5:00 pm in the Union Fireside Lounge as we welcome environmental historian Dolly Jørgensen\, of the University of Stavanger. \nDolly Jørgensen is professor of history at the University of Stavanger (Norway) and coeditor-in-chief of the journal Environmental Humanities. Earlier this year\, she won the Gad Rausing Prize for Outstanding Humanities Research\, awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Letters\, History\, and Antiquities. The Rausing Prize is regarded as the most prestigious award in Nordic humanities. \nDr. Jørgensen is the author of Recovering Lost Species in the Modern Age: Histories of Longing and Belonging and The Medieval Pig and has coedited several volumes\, including Sharing Spaces: Technology\, Mediation\, and Human-Animal Relationships. Her latest Book\, Ghosts Behind Glass: Encountering Extinction in Museums\, is forthcoming from the University of Chicago Press in October\, 2025. \n  \nFifth Annual Jere D. McGaffey Lecture at UW-Milwaukee\n “Politicizing Extinction: Memorializing Sea Lions in a Time of Conflict”\nDolly Jørgensen\nProfessor of History | University of Stavanger\, Norway\n2025 Rausing Prize Laureate | Royal Swedish Academy of Letters\, History\, and Antiquities\nCoeditor-in-chief | Environmental Humanities \n3:00 PM | Friday\, April 25\, 2025\nUWM Union Fireside Lounge\n2200 East Kenwood Boulevard \n  \nAbstract: A rocky island in the sea between Japan and South Korea is the center of an ongoing political conflict about who should control the island and its surrounding waters. A key element of Japan’s claim is the historical practice of hunting sea lions on the island\, as documented through hunting licenses issued by Japanese authorities beginning in 1905. This hunting\, however\, led to the sea lion’s extinction around 1954. South Korea\, which currently occupies the island\, interprets the sea lion extinction as demonstrating Japan’s illegitimate use of the island’s resources \nThe talk will have two parts: In the first part\, Dr. Jørgensen examines the history of the sea lion and the practices which led to its extinction. In the second part\, she will turn to the way those practices and the extinction are presented in museums and other public displays as support for national claims to the island of Takeshima/Dokdo. Taken together\, these parts will demonstrate how extinction history can be politicized in a contemporary geopolitical conflict. \nPublic lecture\, with reception to follow | All are welcome\nEvent organized by the UWM Department of History as part of its McGaffey Lecture series.\nHourly-rate parking is available in the UWM Union Parking Garage (entrance on E. Kenwood Blvd.) \na \n
