SUMMARY:History Speakers Series presents: Sashar Zarif
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:SASHAR ZARIF\n\nFROM STORY TO STATE: EMBODIED LISTENING IN AN A
 GE OF NOISE\n\nThis talk explores story as a lived condition rather than a
  narrative\nform\, and artistic practice as a way of remaining aligned wit
 h life\nitself. Drawing inspiration from ancestral and traditional ways of
 \nknowing—where listening\, attention\, and continuity are central—it\
 nreflects on how stories are encountered\, embodied\, and lived\,\nparticu
 larly in contexts shaped by movement\, transition\, and\nmigration. The ta
 lk considers listening as a foundational condition\nfor understanding expe
 rience\, meaning\, and action in an age of\nconstant noise.\n\nSHORT BIO\n
 \nSashar Zarif is a transdisciplinary artist–scholar originally from\nAz
 erbaijan whose practice explores embodied listening\, movement\, and\nlive
 d experience. He is the founder of Living Stories\, an approach\nthat brin
 gs together movement\, sound\, and attentive presence as ways\nof staying 
 close to life as it unfolds. His work spans creation\,\nperformance\, rese
 arch\, education\, and mentorship\, shaped by more than\nthree decades of 
 practice across more than forty countries. He is the\nrecipient of the 202
 5 Selma Jeanne Cohen Dance Lecture Award presented\nby the Fulbright Assoc
 iation.

SUMMARY:MacKinnon Dinner 2025
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Named in honour of the late Dr. Hugh MacKinnon (\"Father Hugh\"
 )\, the\nMacKinnon Dinner is an annual event organized by the History Soc
 iety\n[https://uwaterloo.ca/history/node/10]\, and a primary social event 
 for\nall members of the department.\n\nThis year's event will be held on M
 arch 14\, 2025\, in the SJ2 Academic\nCenter Atrium at St Jerome's Univers
 ity - 290 Westmount Rd N\,\nWaterloo\, ON N2L 3G3. Doors open at 5 PM with
  opening remarks starting\nat 5:45 PM. Dr. Rebecca MacAlpine\, a History D
 epartment alumna\, will\nbe this year’s guest speaker. Dr. Rebecca MacAl
 pine's talk is\ntitled: Shaming and Blaming: The Process of Proving Patern
 ity in\nSeventeenth Century Somerset.\n\nOver the course of the seventeent
 h century\, 1298 women came before the\nSomerset Quarter Sessions to secur
 e financial resources for the upkeep\nof their unborn children. In these r
 ecords\, we find marginalized\nvoices of women silenced first by their exp
 eriences with the alleged\nfathers of their children and then by the court
 s whose objective was\nto avoid economic responsibility under the new Poor
  Laws of 1576. As a\nresult\, this process ensured that women’s voices w
 ere present but\nultimately silenced. This talk will explore how we can us
 e Quarter\nSession records to uncover the lived experiences of unwed mothe
 rs in\nearly modern Somerset. It will highlight how the procedural mechani
 sms\nembedded in the Sessions further victimized unwed mothers and\nrepres
 ents a form of institutionalized gender-based violence.\n\nTickets for stu
 dents are priced at $25 and non-student tickets are\n$35.

SUMMARY:HIV/AIDS Activism in Africa: Historical Perspectives and Current\nC
 hallenges
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Idah Mukuka Nambeya – an internationally-recog
 nized\nHIV/AIDS activist from Zambia – reflects on the history of Africa
 n\nHIV/AIDS activism and the current challenges facing community\norganiza
 tions due to the recent USAID freeze. During the 2000s\, many\ngrassroots 
 organizations relied heavily on USAID to fund their\nprograms and initiati
 ves aimed at combating the AIDS epidemic. The\nPresident's Emergency Plan 
 for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)\, launched in 2004\,\nwas a major source of fundi
 ng and support for these organizations.\n\nHowever\, the recent freeze on 
 USAID has created a challenging\nenvironment for these organizations. Many
  have had to halt their\nactivities and programs due to a lack of funding.
  This has had a\ndirect impact on the communities they serve\, as access t
 o essential\nservices such as HIV testing\, treatment\, and prevention has
  been\ndisrupted.\n\nIn Zambia\, grassroots organizations have played a cr
 ucial role in\nraising awareness about HIV/AIDS\, providing education and 
 support to\naffected individuals\, and advocating for policy changes. The 
 USAID\nfreeze has put these efforts at risk\, making it more difficult for
 \nthese organizations to continue their work and support the communities\n
 that rely on them.
