Shared History

What does hockey's first organized league and a colony of creative rabbits have in common? One was black, one was white, but both buck expectations and deserve some overdue recognition for being really freaking good in their fields. Listen and learn about The Colored Hockey League and The White Rabbits (women sculptors) of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.

What the networks deem "newsworthy" barely scratches the surface of what it means to be a nation at war, a community at war, a civilian at war. Cultural anthropologist Dr. Greta Uehling joins us to provide a window into life for noncombatant civilians in Ukraine looks like during the current conflict, and the humor and humanity that gets them through the day. More on Greta Greta Uehling began her career by working directly with refugees, helping them find work in the United States. Her experiences in refugee resettlement motivated her to pursue a PhD in cultural anthropology, and have informed her career ever since. After earning her PhD, she became a consultant with the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) in Geneva, Switzerland, working in the Evaluation and Policy Analysis Unit. Her work on irregular migration there led to another migration-related position as a Family Reunification Coordinator for minors smuggled across United States borders from Latin America and China, in Washington, DC. Named after the globe-trotting Swedish actress Greta Garbo, she has traveled and worked in many regions. Her interviewees have often remarked about the rapport they feel during conversations. Her colleagues in anthropology note how this rapport, and Uehling’s writing, centers previously unheard voices. With her current project, Uehling sought to tell the story of internal displacement in Ukraine in a way that is multivocal. She uses the language of lived experience to take readers on a journey through Ukraine that deepens understanding and solidarity. Uehling dedicated Everyday War to her students because they inspire her to write with their many and insightful questions. Her most recent book, Everyday War: The Conflict over Donbas, Ukraine is now available via Cornell Press or wherever books are sold Follow Greta @uehlingumiched1 on ⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠,and @greta.uehling on IG or learn more about her and her work at ⁠www.gretauehling.com ⁠⁠⁠Complete citations on our website.⁠⁠⁠ SOCIALS: Follow Shared History at @SharedPod on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠, @SharedHistory on ⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠, ⁠⁠@sharedhistorypod on Mastadon⁠⁠ SUPPORT: Support us on ⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠ MERCH: ⁠⁠⁠Snag some Shared History merch and get stylin’! ⁠⁠⁠ CREDITS: ⁠⁠⁠Garreth Spinn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sarah Cruz⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Banditry Co. ⁠⁠⁠ About this podcast: Shared History, is a comedy podcast and history podcast in one.

As we explore overlooked figures from history, we often find ourselves shouting about how these folks should have been celebrities, either in their time or in history books. But this week we're taking a step further back to examine the history of celebrity itself.

Nobody puts Baby in the corner and nobody makes Merton Clivette pick a lane. Author and indie publisher, Michael MacBride, regales us with tales of painter, magician, writer and more Merton Clivette, aka Clivette the Great, aka The Man in Black, aka The Mysterious Strange. Join us to learn about all things Clivette and how/why MacBride found himself writing a whole book about him. More on Michael Originally from Michigan, Michael MacBride now calls Minnesota home. Michael received his PhD in 19th century American and 18th century British Literature, but his true focus was 1870-1930. He studied Mark Twain and the period of American history from 1780-1930, and sought out the odd and unusual moments of history. Michael began his college career as an art student, then art history major and has continued to have a love for art and artists. For fun, Michael reads newspapers from 100 years ago--a habit he began in 2017 (which is how he initially became aware of Clivette). Michael taught English, Literature, and Humanities courses at universities and colleges in Minnesota, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Illinois, but also held a number of odd jobs. He has delivered newspapers, worked for UPS, delivered pizzas, did collections at a bank, was a roadie for a country band, and was a grant-writer and funder-researcher for non-profits. Regardless of what he was doing and when, the two consistent things in his life have been: writing and his intense curiosity. Michael has written academic books about pedagogy and cultural studies, non-fiction about LGBTIA+ history, contemporary "bookclub" fiction, speculative/science fiction, and a series of mid-grade interactive detective books.

In this incredibly sincere and well-researched bonus minisode, we read a note from the mailbag, explore a magical neighborhood in Wisconsin, and answer the question: "what if Nat & Cass commit to a bit for ~24 minutes?". We want to shout out our listener Melanie who sent in this request and probably didn't expect this. See y'all for Shared History Season 7, starting next week. We also want to say f*ck terfs and encourage you to support organizations who are committed to providing resources and support to trans youth. If you don't know where to start, check out the Trans Youth Equality Foundation, The Trevor Project, and/or Stand With Trans. If you'd prefer to do your own research on where you can make an impact, or if you are looking for support and resources of your own, GLAAD has a great page. This bonus episode is a riff on our Patreon exclusive series: "Little Locals" where Shared History hosts, Cass and Nat, research the history behind the names and faces of local streets, parks, buildings, statues, etc. If there's a street or park that you drive by every day and wonder "I wonder who/what the heck that's named after" submit it to sharedhistorypodcast@gmail.com and maybe we'll do a Little Local minisode on it!
