The promises of modern medicine were important elements of this professional identity as it motivated them to develop critical perspectives on colonial society. These physicians participated in the various social, cultural, and political movements that made up what is now called the Indonesian nationalist movement. At various times, they criticised traditional culture, advocated public health measures and increases in funding for health, criticised income disparities between Indonesian and European physicians, and defended traditional culture and embraced it as a model for an alternate modernity for Indonesia. During the process of decolonisation, they transformed colonial medicine into a modern approach to maintain health, inspired by examples and connections all over the world. *Monday, October 29, 2018, 3:45pm to 5:45pm Weatherhead Inintiative for Global History Seminar: "Ganga Global: Implications of the Ganga (Ganges) River’s Integration with the Global Maritime Economy during the Early Modern Period (c. 1600–1800)" Murari Jha, WIGH Fellow Commentator: Sunil Amrith<https://history.fas.harvard.edu/people/sunil-amrith>, Harvard Lower Library, Robinson Hall, Harvard, 35 Quincy Street, Cambridge Papers will be pre-circulated and are available by request to jbarnard(a)fas.harvard.edu<mailto:jbarnard@fas.harvard.edu> one week ahead of time. https://wigh.wcfia.harvard.edu/event/wigh-seminar-murari-jha-ganga-global-i… *Monday, October 29, 2018, 4:30pm to 6:00pm Sponsored by the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard, CMES Sohbet-i Osmani Lecture Series "Alî Ufukî and Musical Knowledge Transfer in 17th-century Istanbul" Dr. Judith I.

Patrick Spero, American Philosophical Society Library in Philadelphia In 1763, the Seven Years’ War ended in a spectacular victory for the British. The French army agreed to leave North America, but many Native Americans, fearing that the British Empire would expand onto their lands and conquer them, refused to lay down their weapons. Under the leadership of a shrewd Ottawa warrior named Pontiac, they kept fighting for their freedom, capturing several British forts and devastating many of the westernmost colonial settlements. The British, battered from the costly war, needed to stop the violent attacks on their borderlands. Peace with Pontiac was their only option―if they could convince him to negotiate. Copies of Frontier Rebels will be available for purchase.

Slave owners in the Caribbean and elsewhere established governments and legal codes based on an ideology of "Protestant Supremacy," which excluded the majority of enslaved men and women from Christian communities. For slaveholders, Christianity was a sign of freedom, and most believed that slaves should not be eligible for conversion. When Protestant missionaries arrived in the plantation colonies intending to convert enslaved Africans to Christianity in the 1670s, they were appalled that most slave owners rejected the prospect of slave conversion. Slaveholders regularly attacked missionaries, both verbally and physically, and blamed the evangelizing newcomers for slave rebellions. In response, Quaker, Anglican, and Moravian missionaries articulated a vision of "Christian Slavery," arguing that Christianity would make slaves hardworking and loyal.

Patrick Spero, American Philosophical Society Library in Philadelphia In 1763, the Seven Years’ War ended in a spectacular victory for the British. The French army agreed to leave North America, but many Native Americans, fearing that the British Empire would expand onto their lands and conquer them, refused to lay down their weapons. Under the leadership of a shrewd Ottawa warrior named Pontiac, they kept fighting for their freedom, capturing several British forts and devastating many of the westernmost colonial settlements. The British, battered from the costly war, needed to stop the violent attacks on their borderlands. Peace with Pontiac was their only option―if they could convince him to negotiate. Copies of Frontier Rebels will be available for purchase.

W. Norton, 2018), which both the Wall Street Journal and Ron Chernow (Alexander Hamilton) have called “captivating.” When Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr met on a dueling ground in July 1804, they chose the same attending physician: David Hosack. Family doctor and friend to both men, Hosack is today a shadowy figure at the edge of a famous duel, the great achievements of his life forgotten.

Reenactment from Long Warf to Boston Common Many venues in the City of Boston (see schedule link below) In October of 1768 the British government sent troops to quell the unrest that had rising since the passage of the Townshend Acts. Boston was a town of about 16,000 residents and the arrival of 2,000 soldiers did not calm tensions but rather marked an escalation that would eventually lead to the Boston Massacre. A reenactment of the arrival of the troops in Boston Harbor, their parade through Boston, and encampment on the Common will be reenacted this October.

Patrick Spero, American Philosophical Society Library in Philadelphia In 1763, the Seven Years’ War ended in a spectacular victory for the British. The French army agreed to leave North America, but many Native Americans, fearing that the British Empire would expand onto their lands and conquer them, refused to lay down their weapons. Under the leadership of a shrewd Ottawa warrior named Pontiac, they kept fighting for their freedom, capturing several British forts and devastating many of the westernmost colonial settlements. The British, battered from the costly war, needed to stop the violent attacks on their borderlands. Peace with Pontiac was their only option―if they could convince him to negotiate. Copies of Frontier Rebels will be available for purchase.
