Susie J. Pak Department of History St. John's University Student Activism After Vatican II Lecture Student Activism After Vatican II Lecture III Susie J. Pak Department of History St. John’s University Flashback Monday: Lecture I: Introduction and Origins* (Oct, 19, 2020) Moderator: Dean Mike Simons, St. John’s Law School Lecture II: Expansion & Professionalization (Feb. 4, 2021) Moderator: Anita Gomez-Palacio ‘65Ed, ‘89PD, Member, Board oF Trustees * Please note that in general, when I am quoting texts or people, I do not always say ” “. If you have a specific question about a reference, please put in the chat. Also, the power point is long and will go fast, be will be downloadable after the lecture. THIS LECTURE IS GOING TO BE LONGER THAN THE PREVIOUS TWO SO PLEASE USE THE CHAT FOR FEEDBACK AND FEEL FREE TO STAY LATER. Key Takeaways from Lecture I & II: • History plays and has played an important role in the creation oF St. John’s’ identity and its mission. • We know this because history is embedded in the stories that the University and its community tells about St. John’s. Sample of Events at SJU, 2020-2021 L to R: Racial Justice Conversations series, 2020-21, Offices of: Alumni Relations, Equity and Inclusion, University Events, University Mission, Division of Student Affairs Prof. Eddie Cole (UCLA), “Black is.. Resilient,” Office of Multicultural Affairs, February 18, 2021 Very Rev. Dr. Kelly Brown Douglas (Union Theological Seminary), “A Journey of Faith,” Vincentian Chair of Social Justice 2020-21 Lecture Series: “Women or Color in the Academy,” Vincentian Center for Church and Society, March 16, 2021 Prof. Christina Greer (Fordham), “Following the Arc of Our Institution’s History,” Office of the Vice Provost, Staten Island, Staten Island Alliance for interdisciplinary Studies, Office of Dean, SJC, April 6, 2021 Key Takeaways from Lecture I & II: • We study the stories to understand the meanings oF terms like “diversity” at St. John’s. • In order to do this, we have had to investigate terms like “immigrant,” “poor,” “Catholic,” and “Vincentian.” • Diversity is a historical concept that reveals the norms of an institution. Key Takeaway for Lecture III • The study oF the University’s history is central to the project oF diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), which cannot be generalized across institutions • The barriers to “telling history” illustrate how diFFicult and entrenched the challenges are to this project. • Our definition of “history” reflects the limits of what we think a “university” is. The Second Vatican Council (Vatican II), 1962-1965 üVatican II was initiated by Pope John XXIII (Cardinal Angelo Roncalli, Formerly Bishop oF Venice), who said the idea emerged to him in prayer. üPerfectae caritatis: “…The adaptation and renewal of the religious life includes both the constant return to the sources of all Christian life and to the original spirit of the institutes and their adaptation to the changed conditions of our time…ThereFore let their Founders’ spirit and special aims they set beFore them as well as their sound traditions…be faithFully held in honor….” (http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat- ii_decree_19651028_perFectae-caritatis_en.html) (April 17, 2021).

    SEWING THE SEEDS OF STATEHOOD: GARMENT UNIONS, AMERICAN LABOR, AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL, 1917-1952 By ADAM M. HOWARD A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2003 Copyright 2003 by Adam M. Howard ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The research and writing of this dissertation, spanning a period of five years, required assistance and understanding from a variety of individuals and groups, all of whom I wish to thank here. My advisor, Robert McMahon, has provided tremendous encouragement to me and this project since its first conception during his graduate seminar in diplomatic history. He instilled in me the courage necessary to attempt bridging three subfields of history, and his patience, insight, and willingness to allow his students to explore varied approaches to the study of diplomatic history are an inspiration. Robert Zieger, in whose research seminar this project germinated into a more mature study, offered tireless assistance and essential constructive criticism. Additionally, his critical assessments of my evidence and prose will influence my writing in the years to come. I also will always remember fondly our numerous conversations regarding the vicissitudes of many a baseball season, which served as needed distractions from the struggles of researching and writing a dissertation. Ken Wald has consistently backed my work both intellectually and financially through his position as the Chair of the Jewish Studies Center at the University of Florida and as a member of my committee. His availability and willingness to offer input and advice on a variety of topics have been most helpful in completing this study.

  • JEWS in the AMERICAN LABOR MOVEMENT: PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE by Bennett Muraskin
    JEWS IN THE AMERICAN LABOR MOVEMENT: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE by Bennett Muraskin INTRODUCTION Think of the greatest strikes in US labor history. Apart from the garment workers' strikes in New York and Chicago before World War One, none come to mind in which Jews played a major role. The railroad workers' strike in 1877, the strikes for the eight-hour day in 1886, the Homestead Strike in 1892, the Pullman strike in 1894, the coalminers' strike in 1902, the steelworkers' strike in 1919, the general strike in San Francisco in 1934 and autoworkers' sit- down strike in 1936-1937 all occurred either before Jews immigrated to the US in large numbers or in industries where few Jews were employed. Among the “industrial proletariat” considered by Marxists to be the agency of social revolution, Jews were under-represented. Furthermore, apart from the WASP elite, only Jews, among all European immigrants to the US, have been over-represented in the world of business. But if you look a little closer, you will find Jews as the ferment for a great deal of radical labor activism. The only two Socialist Party candidates elected to the US Congress were Victor Berger and Meyer London. Bernie Sanders is the only US Senator to call himself a “socialist.” All three were Jews. (Ronald Dellums, a non-Jewish Black man who represented Berkeley CA in Congress as Democrat from 1970 to 1997, is the only other person to so identify.) The Jewish garment workers' unions pioneered social unionism and were among the founders of the CIO.

What brought them together was the belief that they needed a new national organization that would be committed to their professional interests, would benefit the people they served, and would work to create strong local unions affiliated with the American labor movement. From this foundation, the AFT has grown into a trade union representing workers in education, health care, and public service. The records of the AFT’s office of the President Collection consist of minutes, correspondence, reports, publications and other materials documenting the union’s activities in organizing and servicing affiliates, improving teaching conditions and influencing legislation affecting education and social issue during the presidencies of Charles Cogen and David Selden.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 086 116 HE 005 024 AUTHOR Daly, Kenneth, Comp. TITLE Institutions of Higher Education and Urban Problems: A Bibliography and Review for Planners. Council of Planning Librarians Exchange Bibliography #398-399-400. INSTITUTION Council of Planning Librarians, Monticello, Ill. PUB DATE May 73 NOTE 261p. AVAILABLE FROM Council of Planning Librarians, Post Office Box 229, Monticello, Illinois 61856 ($12.50) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$9.87 DESCRIPTORS *Bibliographies; City Problems; Community Colleges; Educational Administration; *Educational Planning; *Higher Education; Institutional Role; Literature Reviews; Planning; *School Community Relationship; *Urban Universities ABSTRACT The demand that institutions of higher education do something about the problems of the cities/generated a great deal of discussion during the 1960s. Unrest within the university and in the city provoked a number of programs and projects that attempted to bring the resources of the university to bear on different aspects of urban life, and even sometimes to make these resources available to city-dwellers. These activities stimulated further discussion and controversy. This bibliography is an attempt to bring together those contributions to this literature that might be useful for those who have to plan the role of the university in the city in the new content of the 1970s. The basic concern of the literature review section is to analyze what the different writers have to contribute to the self-understanding of planners of institutions and systems of higher education. The bibliography is divided into 6 parts: institutions of higher education; higher education in and for the city; university degree programs and the city; institutional activity in the'community; planning active institutions; and bibliographies and directories.

  • Revolution Too Soon: Woman Suffragists and the Living Constitution, A
    A REVOLUTION TOO SOON: WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS AND THE "LIVING CONSTITUTION" ADAM WINKLER* From 1869 to 1875, activists associatedwith the National Woman Suffrage Associa- tion, including Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, argued that the United States Constitution guaranteed women's right to vote. Adam Winkler ar- gues that this movement-which the suffragists termed the "New Departure"-- rested on an innovative theory of constitutional interpretationthat would become the dominant mode of constitutionalconstruction in the twentieth century. Now recognizable as "living constitutionalism," the suffragists' approach to constitu- tional interpretation was harshly critical of originalism-the dominant mode of nineteenth-century interpretation-andproposed to construe textual language to keep up with changingsocietal needs. This Article analyzes the intellectual currents that made plausiblethe suffragists' embrace of an evolutionaryinterpretive method- ology, traces the development of the suffragists' approach as they fought for the franchise in Congress and in the courts, and reveals how radicalsuffragists encoun- tered the obstacles of originalism at every turn. Correcting the error of constitu- tional historians who assert that living constitutionalism first emerged in the Progressive Era, this Article stakes a claim for recognizing woman suffragists as important innovators at the forefront of modern constitutional thought.
