First, thanks to Cathy Rokicky for mentoring me during my first year teaching at Cuyahoga Community College years ago. Her suggestion that I apply to Kent’s doctoral program started me on this path, and I will be forever grateful. I am also indebted to my first husband and dear friend, Carsten Bösmann, who has been an enthusiastic supporter of me and my work throughout my long career as a graduate student. His parents, Helmut and Moni, also supplied cheerful foreign language tutelage across many seasons; they not only invited me to take German lessons in Hamburg, but provided an abundance of Jever, delicious food, and warm conversation in their beautiful Lüneburg home. During the long process of researching and writing the dissertation, Uncle Dan never tired of watching my daughter, Molly, so that I could focus on work, and Aunt Celeste provided comfort—and food—on more occasions than I can count. Discussing history and life with my fellow graduate students at Kent, whether in Bowman 205 or at Ray’s downtown, helped me to sharpen my intellectual focus and to laugh when humor was sorely needed. In this regard, thanks especially to Matt Phillips, Erika Briesacher, and Nathan Fry. vii The members of my dissertation committee were generous with their time and gracious in their criticisms; they made me question my assumptions and clarify my thoughts, and I deeply appreciate their insights. My advisor, Ann Heiss, has been nothing short of heroic—I admire her intellectually, professionally, and personally. I feel honored to have been able to work under her guidance, and my gratitude for her commitment to seeing this project to completion is something I do not have adequate words to express. Thanks to my husband, P.J., for incredible patience, good humor, and encouragement throughout this process. I am glad that he has not become entirely domesticated as a result. I am also grateful to Molly for her cheerful pep talks as well as her complete faith in my ability to write this dissertation. When I was young, my father encouraged me to ask questions and listened to my thoughts with respect and interest—as a result, I believed that my ideas had merit. I hope that after reading this, he agrees. Last, I want to thank my mother, Ann. In the 1980s, she showed me the importance of loving one’s career. She demonstrated that women could be college professors, and that it was possible to write a dissertation while caring for a husband and young daughter. (In the “Acknowledgments” section of her dissertation, she thanked Dad and me for putting up with “far too many hamburgers.”) Although she has been gone for over twelve years, I miss my mother every day. This work is dedicated to her. viii CHAPTER I Introduction The use of atomic weapons against Japan in August 1945 ushered in a new age— not only in the context of international relations, but within U.S. popular culture as well. While Americans rejoiced that World War II had at last come to an end, the technological innovations that secured Allied victory also laid the groundwork for unprecedented anxiety. Suddenly, the destruction of the world through nuclear annihilation became a practical possibility rather than simply fodder for science fiction novels. Negotiating this unfamiliar terrain, American policymakers, military leaders, and ordinary citizens debated strategies surrounding civil defense and national security, often utilizing gendered language and reproductive metaphors that reflected concerns about American masculinity. Popular films and novels of the era also imagined a variety of post- apocalyptic American societies if a worst-case scenario should ever be realized. In both political discourse and popular culture, Americans asked similar questions: Would it be possible to survive a nuclear war? What should men and women do to protect themselves—if anything? Would federal attempts to prepare the nation for nuclear attack 1 2 serve as a public acknowledgment of U.S. vulnerability? And in the event of nuclear annihilation, who might be left to repopulate America? This dissertation examines how the discourse of American survival reflected gendered constructions of Cold War national identity. In the last thirty years, historians of U.S. foreign relations have broadened their scope to examine relationships between America’s cultural landscape and U.S. political, military, and diplomatic initiatives. Michael Hunt’s Ideology and U.S. Foreign Policy articulated the importance of understanding how ideological constructions—dependent upon frameworks of race and gender—function to reduce complexities to the understandable and familiar.1 In addition, historians such as Emily Rosenberg, Kristin Hoganson, and Amy Kaplan have explored what Amy Greenberg refers to as the “mutually constitutive nature of gender and American foreign relations.”2

Honor, Courage, Commitment: Navy Recruitment Posters in World War II An Honors Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in History By Shelby Georges Under the mentorship of Dr. Craig Roell ABSTRACT Navy recruitment posters from World War II are an important piece of American culture. The iconic signage can be seen in antique stores and textbooks alike. However, these posters provide more than just bold imagery and vintage decor. By analyzing recruitment posters as if they were advertisements and placing them in the context of the time period, many facets of American identity can be understood, especially regarding race, gender, and patriotism. These posters, while they almost never stated the specific outlined duties of Naval careers or requirements for enlisting, advertised to readers under the premise that they understood the guidelines of who was allowed to enter the armed forces and a basic understanding of the war effort.

    City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Mason Williams All Rights Reserved Abstract City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams This dissertation offers a new account of New York City’s politics and government in the 1930s and 1940s. Focusing on the development of the functions and capacities of the municipal state, it examines three sets of interrelated political changes: the triumph of “municipal reform” over the institutions and practices of the Tammany Hall political machine and its outer-borough counterparts; the incorporation of hundreds of thousands of new voters into the electorate and into urban political life more broadly; and the development of an ambitious and capacious public sector—what Joshua Freeman has recently described as a “social democratic polity.” It places these developments within the context of the national New Deal, showing how national officials, responding to the limitations of the American central state, utilized the planning and operational capacities of local governments to meet their own imperatives; and how national initiatives fed back into subnational politics, redrawing the bounds of what was possible in local government as well as altering the strength and orientation of local political organizations. The dissertation thus seeks not only to provide a more robust account of this crucial passage in the political history of America’s largest city, but also to shed new light on the history of the national New Deal—in particular, its relation to the urban social reform movements of the Progressive Era, the long-term effects of short-lived programs such as work relief and price control, and the roles of federalism and localism in New Deal statecraft.

  • Building Cold War Warriors: Socialization of the Final Cold War Generation
    BUILDING COLD WAR WARRIORS: SOCIALIZATION OF THE FINAL COLD WAR GENERATION Steven Robert Bellavia A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Andrew M. Schocket, Advisor Karen B. Guzzo Graduate Faculty Representative Benjamin P. Greene Rebecca J. Mancuso © 2018 Steven Robert Bellavia All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew Schocket, Advisor This dissertation examines the experiences of the final Cold War generation. I define this cohort as a subset of Generation X born between 1965 and 1971. The primary focus of this dissertation is to study the ways this cohort interacted with the three messages found embedded within the Cold War us vs. them binary. These messages included an emphasis on American exceptionalism, a manufactured and heightened fear of World War III, as well as the othering of the Soviet Union and its people. I begin the dissertation in the 1970s, - during the period of détente- where I examine the cohort’s experiences in elementary school. There they learned who was important within the American mythos and the rituals associated with being an American. This is followed by an examination of 1976’s bicentennial celebration, which focuses on not only the planning for the celebration but also specific events designed to fulfill the two prime directives of the celebration. As the 1980s came around not only did the Cold War change but also the cohort entered high school. Within this stage of this cohorts education, where I focus on the textbooks used by the cohort and the ways these textbooks reinforced notions of patriotism and being an American citizen.

  • "The New Deal of War"
    "The New Deal of War" By Torbjlarn SirevAg University of Oslo Half a year beforeJapanese pilots bombed the United States into World War 11, in a June 1941 edition of Coronet magazine, a little known author added his voice to that of other critics of the policies of Franklin D. Roosevelt. There were basically only two New Deals, John Pritchard here retorted to those who were debating the many twists and turns of the administration's policies. As he saw it, there had been a visionary and planning-oriented first stage-a "New Deal I" -from 1933 to the Nazi push into Holland in May 1940. Roughly at that time, however, the first stage had given way to a far more hardnosed phase which he labeled "New Deal I1- the New Deal of War." If Pritchard's phrase was new, the notion behind it was not. But his was and remains the most poignant expression of an attitude that for all its impact has never been fully understood. How can it be that even if a clear majority of the American people favored all steps short of war in the months immediately before Pearl Harbor the President hesitated to take the lead ?And how can it be explaineed that Washington remained in a state of political turmoil during most of the military emergency when other nations at this crucial moment set aside politics in a show of real national unity? In both situations, the corrosive influence of the "New Deal of War" idea remains crucial. In retrospect, this idea served the function as a bridge uniting the peacetime and wartime opposition against Roosevelt.

  • Suggestions for Expanding the Capabilities of the Emergency Alert System (Comments on EB Docket No. 04-296)
    October 29, 2004 Suggestions for Expanding the Capabilities of the Emergency Alert System Peter K. Sheerin (Comments on EB Docket No. 04-296) 1121 Nimitz Lane Foster City, CA 94404 The FCC is currently soliciting comments about proposed changes to the Emergency Alert System [email protected] Existing disaster notification methods in common use within the U.S. include: • National Weather Radio All-Hazards alert system with county-specific alert coding • EAS alerts transmitted via AM and FM broadcast stations • EAS alerts transmitted via television broadcast stations • Community Civil-Defense siren systems For various technological and social reasons, I don’t believe that these warning channels are sufficient to notify enough of the public to preserve lives and avoid panic in any true large-scale disaster that would require specific responses from the public, such as evacuation or shelter-in-place. Therefore, these existing alert systems should be augmented with the use of modern technology to enable the dissemination of high-quality, concise alerts to the public by multiple, redundant methods, so as to ensure reception by the widest possible percentage of the population, no matter what their current activity. I believe a few new mandates need to be created in order to ensure that common electronic devices can participate in the expanded national/local alert system, and while such mandates may on the surface appear in direct conflict with the American ideals of competition and freedom of innovation, the particular technologies I believe should be used would be a very small, or even non-existent burden on the device manufacturers, and will even serve to enhance the business prospects of these device manufacturers and the broadcast and telecommunications industries that use the devices.
