The American Historical Association Conference was held last month in San Francisco. One of the largest conferences around, it attracts historians from all over to discuss and debate various historical topics. However, so much of the conference experience remains unknown. Join me this week as I dive into history conferences. What are they? Should you go? And how can you maximize your experience?

In 2004, Rosalind Moss gave a powerful talk at The Coming Home Network's "Deep in History" Conference. Raised Jewish, she came to know Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior and later became an Evangelical minister. She was challenged to examine the history and teachings of the Catholic Church expecting to be reaffirmed in her belief in its errors, but what she discovered astonished her.

Mike Winther takes us on a little journey into studying the U.S. Constitution, but first we need to understand the proper role of government. We need to evaluate the constitution based on biblical principles and if it's a good document; we need to defend it.  Once we decide the Constitution is a worthwhile document, then we need to learn about it. This lecture is part of an IPS Government, Economics and History Conference hosted for Christian Educators. This lecture is the first of two parts entitled Founding Principles in the U.S. Constitution. It was given on July 19th, 2011.   You'll Learn: [02:42] There are three problems with our constitution. 1. Most Americans don't know what it says. 2. They don't know what it means. 3. We don't believe in its foundations. [04:00] Constitutional law is studying what the courts have done for or to the Constitution. It doesn't teach a lot about the intent of the Constitution or how it should be interpreted. [05:30] We need to understand the philosophical frame of the Constitution, the case law, and the mechanics. [06:05] Original intent. The founding fathers wrote this document and the words have meaning that's understandable and clear and concrete. [06:26] The Constitution is a living breathing document. Society has evolved. Our needs and our society are different and the Constitution should be different. It's okay to modify, broaden, or expand the Constitution. This is the living breathing document approach.  [07:22] Strict intent. We should hold the Constitution as originally instructed. [07:37] Underlying principles. 1. Source of rights. 2. Source of government authority.   [09:56] Good law is based on God's principles [13:01] Blackstone's work has been inserted in the Constitution.  [14:28] 3. Nature of government. 4. Nature of man.  [15:04] We have three branches of government which are executive, legislative, and judicial. The legislative is broken up between the Senate and the House, so technically we have four bodies of government. [16:58] Appointed or elected? Electoral college. The states appoint the members of The Electoral College. [18:50] A state popular election is used to choose the electors. The electors are chosen by the party of whoever gets the most votes. [23:28] The Senate was appointed until the 17th Amendment of the Constitution. [23:56] The Supreme Court Justices are appointed by a President. [25:12] Office holders represent the people who put them in office. [26:35] The presidency was designed to represent the state governments. States appoint senators. People elect the house. The President appoints the Supreme Court. [29:10] The federal government is a creation of the states.  [30:55] Unfunded mandates. It's when the federal government passes a bill that says a state has to do something, and they're not getting any funds to do it. [35:38] States maintain sovereignty except where they give it up. The source determines the use.    Your Resources: Principle Studies Books to browse Five Principles By Michael Winther Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England

In this episode director of Utah's Indian Affairs Dustin Jansen and ethnohistorian Dr. Sondra Jones, offers sneak peeks into their conference session “Native Utahns: The Struggle to Get and Use Water."  This episode was co-produced by James Toledo (Program Manager, Utah Division of Indian Affairs).Jansen relates the recent history of Westwater, San Juan County, Utah, a rural Navajo community on the edge of Blanding, Utah, which has struggled for fifty years to get water and electricity. Jansen speaks to the combined efforts to overcome long standing obstacles, led by Utah Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson, along with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Utah State Legislature. Jones speaks of the very long road (1861 to the present) for the Ute people gaining access, then losing by forced sales (eminent domain) and finally gaining ownership to water flowing through the Uinta & Ouray Reservation. This includes the backstory to the Strawberry Valley Reservoir–Utah's first public works project drawing water from the Colorado River drainage system–and the beginning of the federally funded Central Utah Project. The Utah Division of State History and Utah Museums Association are combining their conferences this year (back to back -- museum conference October 24-26 and the Utah history conference October 26). Bio: Dustin Jansen has been since 2019 the director of the Utah Division of Indian Affairs. Originally from Coyote Canyon, New Mexico, he was born and raised on the Navajo Reservation.

Corinna Peniston-Bird from the Department of History at Lancaster University reflects upon how she and her colleague Mark Hurst from the History Department rapidly moved a postgraduate taught student conference to be delivered remotely. Corinna's reflections provide some insights into good practices and considerations for running remote conferences no matter the subject or discipline. Steps were taken in order to ensure access and inclusivity so as to ensure the programme's learning outcomes were met in a sound way while creating a positive experience for students despite the sudden shift to online caused by coronavirus Covid19.

In these two lectures, Dr. Michael Haykin explores the perennially important and fascinating issues of love and friendship through the medium of a circle of English Christians in the late eighteenth century: Andrew Fuller and John Ryland, Samuel and Sarah Pearce, all of whom are probably best known for their friendship with William Carey.

In this episode of This Must Be The Place Elizabeth reports from Launceston, Tasmania, from the Urban History Planning History conference. (Listeners should also note the earlier interview with Alysia Bennett at the same conference, offering a very different take on how to pronounce ‘Launceston'). As well as hearing from the UTas historic tram that periodically trundles through the expansive campus car park, (and from some local windiness), in this instalment we hear from Professor Nicholas (Nick) Phelps of the University of Melbourne. Nick describes how he went from being an economic geographer studying Croydon in the UK (“the butt of jokes”) and its attempts to fashion itself as an ‘edge city'; to a general interest in suburban settlement patterns and identities. His talk at UHPH - Centering the Periphery: The Real and Imagined Centres of Casey, Victoria – centred (pun intended) on Casey, a suburban local government area in the south east of Melbourne. Casey is a geographically huge area (which Nick compares in scale to Metro Miami), and Nick and co-authors (including erstwhile TMBTP host David Nichols) were interested in Casey's efforts at fashioning ‘centres' in the context of incremental largely residential growth. Part of the presentation included revisiting Casey's earlier history as the City of Berwick, which in the 1970s pursued what we would now consider ‘futuristic' (as in, an imagined future we now scoff at) plans for a ‘metro city' of 100,000 people with its own green belt and (as was the style of the time) monorail. That city-shaping plan was shelved, although similarly huge scales of growth have since nonetheless occurred. Incidentally, some parts of Casey apparently still have a reservation for a monorail. As in Hugh Stretton's Ideas for Australian Cities, we discuss the idea there are two broad aspects to people's lives, with one secluded and quiet (the traditional function of a residential suburb – at least for certain people/men), and the other the outward facing connected ‘buzz' generally the function of a city centre. Nick considers whether and how suburban areas like Casey create the second kind of place. The discussion compares places like Casey to those of British New Towns under Development Corporations. For example Milton-Keynes, designated in the 1960s while passing through phases of mockery, is now the fastest growing city in the UK and an attractor both of new residents and new industries. We also discuss the prevalence of projects like monorails in edge city plans around the world in the 1970s – Nick suggests the ways we now scoff at such plans reflects a larger shift in planning, away from a belief in “thinking about the future in quite grand terms”. Part of the ensuing reticence is an aversion to some of new town planning's architectural dagginess, implausibility and paternalism. But there are trade-offs: planners have also tended to lose the capacity to have positive, large scale-discussions about the future, as well as some practical mechanisms for timing and delivery of new settlements. These include the use of land values toward supporting some notion of a shared public good, like providing facilities or shaping centres longer term. The episode also ranges from land acquisition and developer contributions, to national settlement patterns, local governments, 1970s economics, TV, Albury-Wodonga, green belts and how to pronounce names like “Launceston”, “Traralgon”, “Leicester” and “Gloucester”.

In this episode of This Must Be The Place Elizabeth reports from Launceston, Tasmania, from the Urban History Planning History conference. (Listeners should also note a subsequent TMBTP interview with Nick Phelps at the same conference, who offers a different take on how to pronounce ‘Launceston'). As well as hearing from the UTas historic tram that periodically trundles through the expansive campus car park, in this instalment we hear from Alysia Bennett about her conference presentation and ongoing work on ‘right sizing: addressing housing challenges through activating marginal spaces, conditions and rules'. Right sizing, a concept Alysia and others have been developing, refers to working within existing houses to enable upsizing and downsizing simultaneously. Without necessarily creating a new fabric, ‘right sizing' is about creating small and large dwellings at the same time, with houses that can switch between the two. Part of this is historically grounded - looking at how parts of Australian cities are already being used as forms of covert density, for example with the integration of secondary dwellings, dual occupancies and subtly-tucked apartments into historic areas like Battery Point in Hobart. These include additional dwellings that ‘stealth' themselves as garages in terms of their presentation to the street, exploiting the fact that garages and parking spaces tend to be invisible to and automatically accepted by both people and planning rules. Alysia's work has shifted from looking at ways to increase density through apartments (the predominant policy interest in density in Australian cities), toward finding existing examples of density within low-rise urban and suburban areas – looking for design and regulatory opportunities that build on better elements of what people are currently doing incrementally. We hear ideas about who might benefit from right-sized housing; how house layouts can work with alignments of things like doors and wet areas; the role of monetising housing space; and models of ‘plug-in' ageing-in-place facilities like accessible bathrooms. Alysia is a Lecturer at MADA, Monash University. The Right Sizing project is ongoing and also involves Professor Dana Cuff of UCLA and Damian Madigan of UniSA.

For the first time ever, this podcast is part of a conference! And in this special mini episode, my conference co-coordinator (Mike Huner) and I discuss this years Great Lakes History Conference in Grand Rapids, MI. Hosted by the Grand Valley State University History Department, this conference has been going for 40 years, and the theme this year is research in action – specifically, how historical research makes its way into the public sphere, either through teaching, the media, or political engagement. The plan is to include panels of interest to both high school and university instructors, and there will also be a number of workshops focused on pedagogy (including a day-long session on Reacting to the Past!). We are also proud to welcome our keynote speaker, Michelle Moyd from Indiana University – Bloomington. She published Violent Intermediaries: African Soldiers, Conquest, and Everyday Colonialism in German East Africa in 2014, and more recently featured in The Guardian writing about languages of resistance.  Her lecture is entitled “Radical Potentials: World War I as Global South War,” and she will also be leading a discussion on the work of filmmaker Raoul Peck. All podcast listeners are welcome to attend, and registration is FREE! The call for papers has detailed info on how to submit a paper/panel (due July 15), and detailed conference info can be found on the podcast website.
