Join the Department of History and Tim Sorg, Senior Instructional Designer with UO Online, for a talk on "Syracuse, City of Unwilling Immigrants."
Classical Syracuse was a city of immigrants. Some came seeking work and high wages, others as refugees fleeing the Carthaginians’ advance across Sicily. But most arrived unwillingly. During the fifth and fourth centuries BCE, the Syracusans regularly forced the people they conquered to immigrate to Syracuse as landowning citizens and then gave away the land they left behind to people from outside of Syracusan society. In this talk, we explore why the Syracusans considered imperial land to be less a source of wealth than the people taken from it. Through it all, we learn what was so distinctive about Syracusan imperialism in the ancient world and what set the Syracusans apart from their imperial contemporaries at Athens and Rome.
The Department of History Seminar Series runs throughout the academic year and features guest speakers from the top universities who share their perspectives on history. Visit history.uoregon.edu for more information about the seminar series.

Presented by the Oregon Humanities Center
Reproductive justice is a critical framework that was developed in response to reproductive politics in the US. Three core values of reproductive justice are the right to have a child, the right to not have a child, and the right to parent a child or children in safe and healthy environments.
LGBTQIA+ individuals need and deserve unimpeded access to full spectrum reproductive health care services. Far too often the movements for reproductive health and rights only center the needs of cisgender and heterosexual individuals and couples. Yet, the reality is: everyone needs reproductive health care regardless of gender identity and sexual orientation.
Candace Bond-Theriault will discuss the need to center LGBTQIA+ communities in the conversation about reproductive health, rights, and justice in a talk titled “Queering Reproductive Justice: An Invitation to Create Our Collective Future.” As this year’s Colin Ruagh Thomas O’Fallon Memorial Lecturer on Law and American Culture, Bond-Theriault will extend an invitation to all people who care about justice and equity to stake a claim in the fight for collective liberation.
Bond-Theriault asserts that for reproductive justice to be truly successful, we must acknowledge that members of the LGBTQIA+ community often face distinct, specific, and interlocking oppressions when it comes to these rights. Family formation, contraception needs, and appropriate support from healthcare services are still poorly understood aspects of the LGBTQIA+ experience, which often challenge mainstream notions of the nuclear family.
Candace Bond-Theriault, JD, LLM, is a queer lawyer, writer, mother, and social justice advocate working at the intersections of law, policy, reproductive health rights, racial justice, LGBTQIA+ liberation, economic justice, and democracy reform. She is Adjunct Professor of Sociology and Criminology at Howard University, and Associate Director for Movement Building at Dēmos, a think tank for the Racial Justice Movement.
Her book Queering Reproductive Justice: An Invitation (2024), blends advocacy with a legal, rights-based framework and offers a unified path for attaining reproductive justice for LGBTQIA+ people. Drawing on US law and legislative history, healthcare policy, human rights, and interviews, Bond-Theriault presents incisive new recommendations for queer reproductive justice theory, organizing, and advocacy.
Bond-Theriault’s talk, part of this year’s “Re-imagine” series, is free and open to the public and will be livestreamed and recorded. Please register.
4:00–5:00 p.m.

"On the Logic of Autocracy and the Plasticity of History: The Case of Frederick William I, King of Prussia"
Barbara Stollberg-Rilinger Rector, Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin (Institute of Advanced Study)
Barbara Stollberg-Rilinger explores the fascinating contradictions of Frederick William I (1688–1740), the “Soldier King” of Prussia and father of “Frederick the Great.” He is remembered for his state reforms, the vast expansion of his army, and the shocking fact that he nearly had his own son sentenced to death. While contemporaries like Montesquieu saw him as a ridiculous outsider and pathological despot, later historians reinterpreted him as the “educator of the German people to Prussianhood.”
