    Democracy Undone: The Story of an American Reporter in Nazi Germany | Pamela Toler
    2026/09/08

    Description

    What does the rise of authoritarianism look like while it is happening in real time? Historian Pamela Toler, author of The Dragon from Chicago: The Untold Story of an American Reporter in Nazi Germany, joins The Clio Dialogues to tell the remarkable story of Sigrid Schultz, the Chicago Tribune’s Berlin bureau chief who reported on the fall of the Weimar Republic and the rise of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany.

    Toler and host Jennifer Robin Terry discuss how economic and political instability contributed to the collapse of German democracy, what Schultz recognized about Hitler and the Nazi movement before they came to power, and why warnings that appear unmistakable in hindsight can be much harder to recognize in real time. They also explore Schultz’s extraordinary relationship with Hermann Göring.

    At its heart, The Dragon from Chicago is the story of a pioneering woman foreign correspondent, as well as that of journalism under authoritarianism, the fragility of democracy, and the importance of a free and engaged press.

  • Never Say Inevitable: Rethinking the Road to 1776 | Peter C. Mancall

    Never Say Inevitable: Rethinking the Road to 1776 | Peter C. Mancall
    2026/08/25
    History only looks inevitable because we already know the ending.As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary, it is easy to look backward and see a straight road to 1776. In Contested Continent, historian Peter C. Mancall shows just how uncertain that road actually was. He joins Jennifer Robin Terry to explore a North America shaped by competing peoples, incompatible ambitions, and consequential choices. The result is a different, more comprehensive origin story, one that recovers the possibilities obscured when we read the past backward.In This EpisodeHow hindsight can distort our understanding of history Why the origins of the United States cannot be reduced to the history of the thirteen British colonies How traditional U.S. history surveys race through centuries of Indigenous and colonial history to reach 1776 Why Europeans were only part of an enormous ensemble cast shaping North America How Indigenous peoples determined whether many European expeditions and settlements survived or failed Why Jamestown's survival was itself an unlikely historical outcome How colonial self-government and enslavement developed alongside one another in Virginia Opechancanough’s backstory How the 1622 Powhatan uprising and English retaliation marked an escalation in colonial violence Why 1619 matters, but does not by itself explain the development of racial slavery in English America How economic and political decisions transformed English attitudes toward slavery over the seventeenth century King Philip's War, Bacon's Rebellion, and the Pueblo Revolt as reminders of how precarious colonial power remained The origins of an extractive approach to the natural world Indigenous resistance and a broader history of religious freedom Why contingency, agency, and individual choices matter to understanding history About the GuestPeter C. Mancall is Distinguished Professor; Andrew W. Mellon Professor of the Humanities; Professor of History, Anthropology, and Economics at the University of Southern California; and the Linda and Harlan Martens Director of the USC-Huntington Early Modern Studies Institute. His scholarship focuses on early America and the peoples, environments, and encounters that shaped North America before the creation of the United States.

  • Hair Apparent: How Americans Learned to Read Race, Gender & Power in Hair | Sarah Gold McBride

    Hair Apparent: How Americans Learned to Read Race, Gender & Power in Hair | Sarah Gold McBride
    2026/08/18

    Today, our hair is often a means of self-expression. But what if you had no control over what your hair expressed? And I’m not just talking about a bad hair day! In nineteenth-century America, hair conveyed something very different than what it does today.

    In this episode of The Clio Dialogues, I am joined by my friend and former classmate (Go Bears!), historian Dr. Sarah Gold McBride to discuss the surprising American cultural history of hair. She explains that by taking seriously something so ordinary as hair, we can learn much about nineteenth-century ideas about race, gender, nationhood, and belonging.

    In This Episode

    • Why beards surged in popularity in the mid-nineteenth century
    • What facial hair had to do with masculinity, citizenship, and political power
    • How racial pseudoscience transformed the beard into a symbol of white male authority
    • How Frederick Douglass used his photographed image as a challenge to racist ideas about Black bodies
    • How nineteenth-century Americans attempted to “read” bodies
    • Bearded women, P. T. Barnum, and anti-cross-dressing laws
    • Why hair meant something fundamentally different to nineteenth-century Americans than it does to us today

    About the Guest

    Dr. Sarah Gold McBride is the author of Whiskerology: The Culture of Hair in Nineteenth-Century America, and a historian and award-winning Lecturer in the American Studies program at the University of California, Berkeley, where her research and teaching focus on the daily lives of ordinary people in the nineteenth-century United States, and the information and objects they found meaningful as they tried to understand race, gender, and national identity.
