The Department of History at the University of Washington offers degrees both at the undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as opportunities for interested members of the wider community to attend courses as "Access" students. History faculty and students engage in teaching and research projects that examine the myriad ways in which religion, ethnicity, race, class, and gender have shaped the patterns of human experience. Our expertise spans the globe - from the Pacific Northwest and the United States to Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa - and extends across human history, from ancient and medieval times through to the early twenty-first century. The Department of History holds public events and lectures each year for our faculty and students and for the broader community. You can find videos of our past lectures and panels here.
James Gregory "Homes for Some: Seattle's History of Housing and Racial Exclusion"
Seattle has a long history of policies and practices that prevented people of certain racial and religious backgrounds from buying, renting, or occupying homes in many parts of the city and surrounding areas. Starting with the 1865 ordinance that banned Indigenous people, Prof. James Gregory details this history of exclusion by showing how it was implemented through laws, zoning, deed restrictions, redlining, urban renewal, and other governmental actions and through the organized efforts of real estate professionals, banks, and neighborhood associations. This talk also assesses the way this history shapes the present, highlighting continuing patterns of housing exclusion and ongoing efforts to open opportunities, including discussion of the 2023 state law (Covenant Homeownership Account Act - HB 1474) that provides compensation to victims of racial restrictive covenants and other forms of state sanctioned housing discrimination.

From the Central District to Pike Place Market and beyond, migrants from the Mediterranean region have made a notable, if seldom noticed, impact on Seattle's urban fabric over the past century, perhaps no group more than Sephardic Jews from the Ottoman Empire.

HLS 2023: Medieval Made Modern "Interpreting Joan"
มุมมอง 394ปีที่แล้ว
Joan of Arc is one of the most fascinating figures of the Middle Ages and one of the most baffling as well. Regarded by her supporters as a saint and visionary, she was burned by the Catholic Church in 1431 as an apostate who rejected God’s natural order by dressing as a man. That same church canonized her in 1920 after a sustained campaign by an extremist right-wing political movement in Franc...

Perhaps no group has traveled further in the popular imagination than the Templars. Once an international military and banking order associated with the Crusades, they appear now most commonly as the progenitors of the Freemasons, members of a secretive Order guarding the Holy Grail, and the stars of numerous video games. How and why did this happen?

Hard as it is to imagine today, Robin Hood was but one of many fictional and historical outlaws making the rounds in medieval and early modern England. He has been interpreted in almost every way one can imagine, from nature god to miffed aristocrat to defender of the common folk. What makes his legend so enduring? And why do we seem to make so much more of Maid Marian than previous generations...

The Jew question/problem refers to how after World War I many ethnic groups had lines drawn a map for them to form a nation in the now dissolved, Austral, Hungarian, and Russian Empires. then what to do with all the leftover jews is the question
Sound is horrible
Shiiiiiir.. This was meant for D.B Cooper
Who got fired over the audio?
Did you record this with a potato?
I took a Holocaust course under Professor Browning ages ago while in grad school at Wisconsin. He now teaches at my undergrad alma mater, 5 miles from my house. This couse is quite interesting so far.
I am shocked at the low number of views ... wonderful lecture. Thanks for posting.
Great presentation. 👍
This was a great series, thank you for putting this together.
Lecture that deserves far better sound quality
The Romanians were allies of Nazi-Germany and participated in the Ost-krieg. It stands to reason that Romania too has it's own wicked deeds in the Holocaust vs Jews, Roma, & the Sinti, as well as atrocities committed in their eastwards advance into Ukraine & Russia. Likewise, Nazi-Germany's other allies (The Vichy-French, the Hungarians, the Croatians, and Bulgarians) were also participant-players in the Holocaust in it's entirety (around 11+million people killed). Nazi-Germany did not do it all by themselves. The look into Romania's part of this evil work of genocide and ethnic cleansing needs more looking into. Thanks for the video, Woody!
1:14, the picture that Browning mentions has been proven to be a fraud by a person who has expertise on such subjects!
The origins of antisemitism go all the way back to the Old Testament. It started with the story of Abraham and Sarah lying to Pharaoh about Sarah’s status as an ‘unmarried woman’ in order to be 'treated well' and gain access to the highest levels of power in Egypt. Pharaoh and his harem come down with a "mysterious illness" (venerial disease) and Pharaoh confront Abraham about his trickery and kicks Abraham and his followers out of Egypt. So there you have, Pharaoh kicking Abraham out of Egypt was the first act of antisemitism.
I am amazed that nobody commented about this excellent presentation of Holocaust history in Romania and Hungary !? I am a Romanian Jewish survivor of the pogrom in Bucharest when Iron Guards thugs entered our house and tried to kill me, my sister and my mother!! My grandparents were taken from their house in Bistrita, Nasaud , Transylvania by Hungarian Jandarms of the Horty,s regime and deported to Auschwitz’s camp and burned in crematorium!!! Never forget or forgive!!
It's not really a part of the Romanian history that gets promoted , more like swept under the rug. I don't know exactly how history is presented in schools now, but in the 90s I don't remember it being mentioned.On the other hand there are a tiny minority of Iron Guard wannabe idiots under various names .It's the kind of people that have the same passion for some soccer team and Orthodox Church protests against LGBT or something.
I am verry sorry....
I really wanted to watch this but the audio is so distorted I can't hear it very well
Thank you, University of Washington History Department, for posting these. In this series, Browning, a pioneer in the field of the study of the Holocaust, delivers one lucid and compelling lecture after another.
From a historical perspective it proves to me that a minority group must simultaneously go after economic and political rights otherwise they will be targeted by those in power and those who FEEL threatened
Sound is Terrible
Good stuff, very interesting. When I was younger I never really understood the details of how the holocaust happened, in school I wondered 'why did they wait til 42 to gas the polish Jews when they defeated Poland in 39' and my teacher couldn't really answer. I used to be an 'intentionalist' thinking Hitler planned to murder them all along but now I see it was not quite that simple
@ The Jews condemned Jesus by their law to death, but Romes crucified Jesus by their law.
EXCELLENT !!! EXCELLENT !!! Christopher Browning is just an amazing scholar, so knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. THANK YOU THANK YOU. For taking the time and effort to put your lectures on TH-cam .. Trying to understand humans is such an interesting area of study. Your book "Ordinary Men" is wonderful. I am so lucky to have access to your many years of study. THANK YOU !!!!
What a delight you are! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Solid and fascinating historian. He's always been a "mensch" with all of his lectures, studies and writings, but choking up at the end of this lecture drove home a sense of humanity to THIS particular subject especially, that is difficult to convey. Many thnx for this!
I'm very disappointed by the lack of shout-out for Nicholas Cage and National Treasure. :p
The Nazis had no idea there were so many Jews between Berlin and Moscow.
It was Bush's fault. Or, was it Trump?
That Italian sculpture of the Arthur story is actually from Arthur Annual #5, a crossover with Cane and Abel Comics. The Goat is Merlin in disguise.
I was there & I’m happy to watch again. So glad this series is being posted!
Delightful. As a side note: I graduated from the U of W in 1968 with a BA in History. I can't remember the History Dept. having a woman professor or even a TA. Progress has been made!
I graduated in 2016. There still aren't enough female professors, but we're moving in the right direction. Robin was my favorite professor in my time at UW, & I had quite a few really good teachers. She just has a creativity and a passion that is infectious. I'm honored to have taken a few her classes.
The sound on this is terrible.
I would really like to watch these lectures,however, the audio is very difficult to understand.
My man here is recording this on a potato. For God's sake, give me an address and I'll ship him a Blue Yeti or something.
buy a microphone that doesn't sound terrible. It's crazy to upload something with this terrible of sound quality
Thank you for posting his lectures.
Audio is not good at all.
Wonderful lecture
Audio quality appalling.
Great stuff!! Every politician and business person should be required to understand this material. Maybe we could then stop repeating history.
Very interesting and thought provoking. Thanks!
Praewpetch!!!
Growing up in the '80s and not having yet experienced an active protest movement such as that which we are currently in, the fact that the images from the Civil Rights Era were in black & white separated me as a viewer from the turmoil in a way that photographs of 9/11 or the Ferguson protests can't. The modern analog of that would be the color degradation.
