    What began as a tiny animation studio in southern California in the early 1920s has now become a global mega brand that is the single most powerful curator of historical memory about the United States. Our guest Dr. Jason Lantzer argues that thinking about the Walt Disney Company opens up new worlds of how we perceive the history of the United States, both reaching new audiences and re-evaluating the rise of American power during the 20th century. Dr. Lantzer is the Assistant Director of the Honors Program at Butler University in Indianapolis.Intervals is hosted by Christopher Brick, editor and principle investigator of the Eleanor Roosevelt Papers project at George Washington University, and Kariann Yokota, associate professor of history at University of Colorado Denver.

    In the late 1980s, India began an ambitious project to dam it's fifth largest river, the Narmada. The project pitted environmentalists, the World Bank, the United States government, and Indian politicians against one another as they battled over issues surrounding the environment, foreign aid, resettlement policies, and development. Varsha Venkatasubramanian is a doctoral candidate in history at the University of California Berkeley and is studying the American and international environmental movement against the damming of rivers.

    Faced with increasing numbers of immigrants in the early 20th century, the United States sent special inspectors abroad to learn more about them. Marcus Braun was one such inspector who visited the Ottoman Empire, China, Mexico, and Eastern Europe during the course of his research. Our guest Dr. Randa Tawil, assistant professor of women and gender studies at Texas Christian University, details Braun's efforts to determine what made some immigrants desirable while others were deemed unfit and how his work and that of other special inspectors influenced U.S. immigration policy.Intervals is hosted by Christopher Brick, editor and principle investigator of the Eleanor Roosevelt Papers project at George Washington University, and Kariann Yokota, associate professor of history at University of Colorado Denver.Contact us at podcast@oah.org.
