  • Democratic Autopsy: One Year Later
    One Year Later (October 2018) Contents Introduction 1 -- Corporate Power and the Party 2 -- Race and the Party 3 -- Young People and the Party 4 -- Voter Participation and the Party 5 -- Social Movements and the Party 6 -- War and the Party 7 -- Democracy and the Party Democratic Autopsy: One Year Later Introduction In October 2017, a team of progressive researchers published “Autopsy: The Democratic Party in Crisis,” which probed the causes of the disastrous 2016 election defeat. The report came in the wake of the party leadership’s failure to do its own autopsy. In a cover story for The Nation, William Greider wrote that the Autopsy is “an unemotional dissection of why the Democrats failed so miserably, and it warns that the party must change profoundly or else remain a loser.” La Opinión reporter María Peña summed up the findings this way: “To revitalize its base for future elections, the Democratic Party has to clean up the rubble of its defeat in 2016 and develop a strategy beyond condemning the actions of President Donald Trump.” 1 Now, “Democratic Autopsy: One Year Later” evaluates how well the Democratic Party has done in charting a new course since the autumn of 2017. This report rates developments in each of the seven categories that the original Autopsy assessed -- corporate power, race, young people, voter participation, social movements, war and party democracy. The upsurge of progressive activism and electoral victories during the last year has created momentum that could lead to historic breakthroughs in the midterm elections and far beyond. Realizing such potential will require transforming and energizing the Democratic Party.

  • Human Rights: History and Theory Spring 2015, Tuesday-Thursday, 2:30-3:50 P.M., KIJP 215 Dr
    PJS 494, Human Rights: History and Theory Spring 2015, Tuesday-Thursday, 2:30-3:50 p.m., KIJP 215 Dr. Everard Meade, Director, Trans-Border Institute Office Hours: Tuesdays, 4-5:30 p.m., or by appointment, KIJP 126 ixty years after the passage of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, there’s widespread agreement over what human rights should be. And yet, what human rights are – where they come from, how best to achieve their promise, S and what they mean to people living through war, atrocity, and poverty – remains more contentious than ever. This course explores where human rights come from and what they mean by integrating them into a history of attempts to alleviate and prevent human suffering and exploitation, from the Conquest of the Americas and the origins of the Enlightenment, through the First World War and the rise of totalitarianism, a period before the widespread use of the term “human rights,” and one that encompasses the early heyday of humanitarianism. Many attempts to alleviate human suffering and exploitation do not articulate a set of rights-based claims, nor are they framed in ways that empower individual victims and survivors, or which set principled precedents to be applied in future cases. Indeed, lumping human rights together with various humanitarian interventions risks watering down the struggle for justice in the face of power at the core of human rights praxis, rendering the concept an empty signifier, a catch-all for “doing good” in the world. On the other hand, the social movements and activists who invest human rights with meaning are often ideologically eclectic, and pursue a mix of principled and strategic actions.

  • Insight Fall 2009.11.12.Indd
    Fall 2009 Dear Friends of MSU Libraries and MSU Alumni: As we approach the season of sharing with family and friends, we would like to take a few minutes to share some of the triumphs we’ve experienced and challenges we face in this calendar year. First, it should come as no surprise to anyone that the economic situation facing the nation and the State of Michigan, in particular, is not good. On Friday, October 30, the crisis came home to MSU in a very tangible way with President Simon’s and Provost Wilcox’s announced plan to consolidate several programs. Every College, Unit and Department on campus is actively reassessing its ability to respond to further budgetary cutbacks. So where do the University’s libraries stand? Like its campus counterparts, MSU Libraries experienced a decrease in the 09/10 budget though not as great as some. In anticipation of rapidly diminishing resources from the State, the Libraries’ Executive Council began months ago creating best and worst case scenarios in order to operate as efficiently and effectively as possible despite the dismal forecasts. After all, patron use of library facilities and resources – both traditional and electronic – increases in CONTENTS times of economic stress. To that end, in fact, MSU Libraries this year upgraded its digitization Insight Goes Electronic in 2010 2 MSU Libraries Acquire Lev Raphael Papers 2 capacity with the purchase of an i2S 14000 DigiBook SupraScan – one of only two in the The King Features Syndicate Proof Sheet nation. This state-of-the art digital scanner allows the Libraries to undertake preservation-level Collection 3 scanning of countless treasures from our collections and make them available online for users around Recent Gifts 4 the world.

  • Press Release for Foreign Exposure Published by Houghton Mifflin
    Press Release Foreign Exposure by Lauren Mechling and Laura Moser • About the Book • About the Authors THE EMPIRE STATE IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THE STATE OF THE EMPIRE! About the Book After the thrill of breaking the biggest new story in Bugle history, Mimi Schulman is ready for a well- deserved hiatus from school and the turbulent life of undercover reporting. She'd love to stay in New York City and take a class or get a job like a regular teen. But in order to fulfill her end of the bargain with her parents, Mimi must spend the summer with her mother in Germany, babysitting for a set of terrible twin eight-year-olds. On the verge of a nervous breakdown, Mimi jets across the English Channel to stay with her New York friend Lily, whose family friend offers her a job at the hottest British celebrity rag. Never one to shy away from getting the latest scoop, Mimi finds herself caught up in the fabulous lives of socialites, all the while falling for a charming Brit and trying to keep up with London mores and style. But when she gets involved with an exposé that could ruin one of London's biggest names, understanding the lingo becomes the least of Mimi's troubles. This last step in the rise of the social climber is sure to entertain fans of Mimi Schulman, with its London luxury and British slang. And newcomers will be charmed by Mimi's cunning wit and insightful perspective. Whether she's in New York City, Berlin, or England, Mimi's struggles with family, work, and relationships will resonate with adults and teens from all corners of the world.

Benjamin Henry Latrobe was born in 1764 at Fulneck in Yorkshire. He was the Second son of the Reverend Benjamin Latrobe (1728 - 86), a minister of the Moravian church, and Anna Margaretta (Antes) Latrobe (1728 - 94), a third generation Pennsylvanian of Moravian Parentage. The original Latrobes had been French Huguenots who had settled in Ireland at the end of the 17th Century. Whilst he is most noted for his work on The White House and the Capitol in Washington, he introduced the Greek Revival as the style of American National architecture. He built Baltimore cathedral, not only the first Roman Catholic Cathedral in America but also the first vaulted church and is, perhaps, Latrobes finest monument. Hammerwood Park achieves importance as his first complete work, the first of only two in this country and one of only five remaining domestic buildings by Latrobe in existence. It was built as a temple to Apollo, dedicated as a hunting lodge to celebrate the arts and incorporating elements related to Demeter, mother Earth, in relation to the contemporary agricultural revolution.

Title: Learninq Teachinq Leadinq A Patchwork of Stories froma Non-Traditional Life. Abstract approved: Signature redacted for privacy. ,-- . Betty Duvall This autoethnographic research explores learning,teaching, and leading from the perspective ofan adult woman who is both a non- traditional student and a non-traditional workerin the academy. Because she returned to school at theage of forty to earn a bachelor's degree, and is currently an associate professor ofeducation following more than twenty years of work in the private sector withan additional seven as a high school teacher, she focuses thispersonal exploration on academia, seeking to better understand her place inan evolving educational culture in which she is both insider and outsider, learner andteacher. By providing insight into her learningprocesses and products, she also provides opportunities for readers to reflecton the ways in which they learn as well as to better understand learner diversity. In the process of articulating theways in which she learns and linking them to her passion for teaching,the author began to formulate a theory, Home.Makers of the Academy: TheValuing-and Devaluing-of Teaching, that proposes a connection between thehistorical role of the homemaker in the American family and the academichomesmaking evidenced in caring, connective teaching. This developingtheory is illustrated through pages that alsorepresent her learning processes which she calls connectivity, or the linking of disparatesources to create new meaning. Connectivity is also used by the authorto refer to the intertwining of activities within a life of creative integrationwhere multiple facets of a person's life interconnect rather thancompete.
