The COVID-19 pandemic renewed interest in the global history of infectious diseases. This year’s lecture series presented by History Department faculty and other experts focuses on different periods in world history when societies faced pandemics and their consequences. Former Cal Lutheran President Chris Kimball, a history scholar, will address the influenza pandemic of 1918-20, known unfairly as the Spanish flu, which arrived near the end of World War I and killed tens of millions of people. That human toll, on top of the war dead, provided the backdrop for dramatic political, social and economic changes. In the United States, the fight against the Spanish flu included advances in medicine and controversial strategies such as mask wearing — and, like today, public health became a heated political issue.

Cal Lutheran, the Thousand Oaks Grant R. Brimhall Library and Ventura County Library are sponsoring the free series, and the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation provided grant funding.

Andrés Reséndez, a professor of history at University of California, Davis, will address the earliest sustained European exploration of large areas that become the United States, a venture that turned out to be an unmitigated disaster. Of the 300 explorers who landed in Florida in 1527, only four survived (three Spaniards in commanding positions and one African enslaved person). These survivors spent almost a decade living among Indigenous societies in Florida and Texas, then journeyed through parts of the American Southwest that no other Europeans or Africans had seen before. They lived by their wits, mastering half a dozen native languages and making sense of societies other Europeans could not begin to fathom.

Reséndez specializes in early European exploration and colonization of the Americas, the U.S.-Mexico border region, and the early history of the Pacific. The Organization of American Historians and Cal Lutheran’s Department of History and Alpha Xi Psi chapter of the Phi Alpha Theta History Honor Society are sponsoring the free event.
