Based on the Lina-Maria Murillo’s book, Fighting for Control: Power, Reproductive Care, and Race in the US-Mexico Borderlands, this lecture will center on Chicana and Mexican-origin women activists as they fought to provide care to their communities in El Paso, Texas, throughout the twentieth century. Even as they confronted population control advocates and increased reproductive health scrutiny, they came together to help their families live and thrive opening clinics and organizing residents to demand health care on their own terms.

Feminist oral history and archival methods have helped transform our understanding of 20th century American history. Historian Sarah McNamara has focused on a key urban hub in the New South, tracing out the ways Latinas have carved a not-so delicate path in challenging and, some times, confirming politically exclusionary projects in the Jim Crow South. From Luisa Moreno coordinating a cigar roller’s strike to women defending Republican Spain during the Civil war, Dr. McNamara helps us understand the inspiring and troubling dimensions of women’s labor history in a trying time in U.S. history.

When Americans turn on their laptops, play video games, go to church, vote, eat TexMex, buy groceries, listen to music, grill steaks, or watch football, they are paying tribute to Texas. Johnson’s lecture shines new light on why Texas has had such a powerful influence on U.S. history.
Texas historian Ben Johnson decided to put together a history of Texas that emphasized connections to the world, not differences. This is that book.

The project takes a close-up look at the Fountaingrove scandal to examine religion, gender, sexuality, and race in the Gilded Age from a fresh perspective. By chronicling the life stories of the people swept up in the scandal, Unholy Sensations reveals connections and tensions between a wide variety of nineteenth-century religious and social groups, including suffragists and spiritualists, Christian Scientists and Theosophists, journalists and politicians, and Protestant ministers and urban reformers. Together, these disparate groups helped spark California's first cult scare, demonizing Harris as the first-but far from the last-dangerous California cult leader. By showing that the term “cult” has always been a marker of race, sexuality, and religion, Unholy Sensations reveals the limits of American freedom and the centrality of religion to the policing of whiteness, family, and nation.
