  • The Last King of America with Andrew Roberts
    Events at Stanford - 22:02 Nov 18, 2021
    Date: Wednesday, December 1, 2021. 6:00 PM. Location: Hauck Auditorium, David & Joan Traitel Building Please join the Hoover Institution's Working Group on the Role of Military History in Contemporary Conflict for a talk with Andrew Roberts, author of The Last King of America: The Misunderstood Reign of George III Hosted by Victor Davis Hanson To RSVP, please click here by November 29, 2021. About the Book Most Americans dismiss George III as a buffoon: a heartless and terrible monarch with few, if any, redeeming qualities (picture the preening, spitting, and pompous version in Hamilton). But in 2017, the Queen of England put 200,000 pages of the Georgian kings’ private papers online, about half of which related to George III, and these papers have forced a full-scale reinterpretation of the king’s life and reign. Roberts, an award-winning investigative historian (Churchill, Napoleon), had unprecedented access to these archives. The result is the first biography of King George III in fifty years, and the defi...

  • Decolonizing Hinduism and Unravelling Hindutva
    Events at Stanford - 16:28 Nov 18, 2021
    Date: Thursday, December 9, 2021. 12:00 PM. Location: Virtual Webinar (Pacific Time) Decolonizing Hinduism and Unravelling Hindutva | Chinnaiah Jangam This paper historically explores how a geographical identity ahl al-Hind (people living beyond the Indus River) transformed into a religious identity as Hinduism.  While unearthing that process, the paper shows the critical role of British colonialism in constructing Hinduism as spiritual and otherworldly religion in collaboration with the Brahmanical elites. Moreover, the paper argues that in the making of religion, Brahmanism metamorphosized itself as Hinduism by assimilating diverse practices and faiths of people from oppressed castes. In the context of the politics of anticolonial nationalism, the Brahmanical consciousness became foundational for the imagined nation. Finally, the paper decolonizes the idea of Hinduism and argues that the Hindu majoritarian politics are not an aberration rather a manifestation of a complicated alliance of colonial state and ...

  • Pregnant in the Jungle: Gendering Resistance in the Malayan Emergency
    Events at Stanford - 16:26 Nov 18, 2021
    Date: Thursday, December 2, 2021. 5:00 PM. Location: Via Zoom Webinar Register: bit.ly/3wxD1RC The Malayan Emergency (1948-1960) is perhaps most famous for Sir Gerald Walter Robert Templer’s famous phrase about the need to win the “hearts and minds” of civilians to defeat a communist insurgency. Less examined is how gender was a central prism through which military officials hoped to achieve their aims. For example, British officials produced one Chinese-language propaganda cartoon that warned communist women of the dangers of giving birth in the jungle. It depicted a pregnant woman laying on bamboo in pain, surrounded by angry-faced men in uniform. Once the men informed a British official about their position, she got airlifted out by helicopter and enjoyed a comfortable hospital bed under the attentive care of a smiling woman. This optimistic depiction of becoming a British informant hints at the central and contested role of women and gender during the anti-communist “emergency,” and during British decolon...

Location: Online Event America in One Room: Climate and Energy,a Helena project, is the largest controlled experiment with "in-depth deliberation" ever held in the U.S.  It addressed this question: What would the American public really think about our climate and energy challenges if it had the chance to deliberate about them in-depth, with good and balanced information?   If the American people—or in this case, a representative sample of them—could consider the pros and cons of our different energy options, which would they support? Which would they cut back on? What possible paths to Net Zero would seem plausible to them? Which proposals would they resist? Can the public arrive at solutions to our climate and energy dilemmas that transcend our great divisions, especially our deep partisan differences? Can they also find common ground across differences in age, race, and region?   These and other questions will be discussed on Wednesday, December 1, 2021, 12:30-2:...
