    Funk the Clock: Transgressing Time While Young, Prescient and Black A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Rahsaan Mahadeo IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advisers: David Pellow and Joyce Bell August 2019 © 2019 Rahsaan Mahadeo Acknowledgements Pursuing a PhD has at times felt like the most selfish endeavor I have ever undertaken. For I knew that every book I read and every paper I wrote was largely for personal gain. Not coming from academic lineage or economic privilege, I could not escape the profound sense of guilt of leaving so many behind in the everyday struggle to live, labor and learn in a school that is less of a land-grant institution and more of a land-grab institution; an educational system that is more private than public; a corporation that presents students with more educational opportunists than educational opportunities; a sea of scholarship that looks more like colonizer ships; and a tower that is as anti ebony as it is ivory. Most know it as the “U of M,” when it is really the U of empire. Here, I would like to take the opportunity to counter the university’s individualistic and neoliberal logic to thank several people who have helped me cope with the challenges of living, learning and laboring in a space designed without me (and many others) in mind. Thank you to my advisers David Pellow and Joyce Bell for supporting me along my graduate school journey. Though illegible to the university, I recognize and appreciate the inordinate amount of labor you perform inside and outside the classroom.

  • Applying Gabriel Marcel's Thought in Social
    Marcel Studies, Vol. 1, Issue No. 1, 2016 Applying Gabriel Marcel’s Thought in Social Work Practice MARK GRIFFITHS, School of Health and Social Development, Deakin University Geelong Waterfront Campus, Victoria 3217, Australia. [email protected] Abstract: Gabriel Marcel‟s thought is applied to social work practice in the fields of restorative justice conferencing for young people and working with male perpetrators of family violence. Existential ideas have helped to shape social work from its beginnings, but with the one exception of Jim Lantz, the philosophical ideas of Gabriel Marcel have not been utilised. I argue that Marcel‟s existential concepts speak to the vocation of social work and the challenge to fully participate in the world in the 21st century. These concepts include the concrete value of people‟s lived experience, which includes elements of mystery and problem, the importance of being accessible and present to others, and seeking to respond to the cry of the world heard in our communities. Introduction Gabriel Marcel‟s thought is useful to social workers and to some of the key challenges facing the profession in the 21st century. Social workers are re-examining their vocation, moving beyond a social maintenance and functional role, focusing on the importance of relationship building in the attempt to heal social harms, and are embracing a holistic approach to concrete social problems that incorporates a spiritual perspective and a participatory understanding of human existence. In this article, Marcel‟s thought is applied to working in a men‟s behaviour change group addressing family violence, and in facilitating a restorative justice conference with a young offender and his victim, together with their supporters and other professionals.

From the painting of murals as a way to reclaim public space and the establishment of inde- pendent community art centers to the work of the AFRICOBRA collective People’s Sake: and Black filmmakers, artists on Chicago’s South and West Sides built a vision of art as service to the people. In Art for People’s Sake Rebecca Zor- ach traces the little-told story of the visual arts of the Black Arts Movement Artists and in Chicago, showing how artistic innovations responded to decades of rac- ist urban planning that left Black neighborhoods sites of economic depres- sion, infrastructural decay, and violence. Working with community leaders, Community in children, activists, gang members, and everyday people, artists developed a way of using art to help empower and represent themselves. Showcas- REBECCA ZORACH Black Chicago, ing the depth and sophistication of the visual arts in Chicago at this time, Zorach demonstrates the crucial role of aesthetics and artistic practice in the mobilization of Black radical politics during the Black Power era. 1965–1975 “ Rebecca Zorach has written a breathtaking book. The confluence of the cultural and political production generated through the Black Arts Move- ment in Chicago is often overshadowed by the artistic largesse of the Amer- ican coasts. No longer.

  • Ethnography of Human Development, Cognition and Learning
    EDPSY 582A —Methods Seminar: Ethnography of Human Development, Cognition and Learning Fall 2014 Wednesdays 1:30 to 3:50 Miller 112 INSTRUCTORS Philip Bell Megan Bang LIFE Center LIFE Center [email protected] [email protected] Office Hours: By appt Office Hours: By appt COURSE OVERVIEW “The situated nature of learning, remembering, and understanding is a central fact. It may appear obvious that human minds develop in social situations, and that they use the tools and representational media that culture provides to support, extend, and reorganize mental functioning. But cognitive theories of knowledge representation and educational practice, in school and in the workplace, have not been sufficiently responsive to questions about these relationships.” — Roy Pea & John Seely Brown, 1991 “If ethnography produces cultural interpretations through intense field research experience, how is such unruly experience transformed into an authoritative written account? How, precisely, is a garrulous, overdetermined, cross-cultural encounter, shot through with power relations and personal cross purposes circumscribed as an adequate version of a more-or-less discrete ‘otherworld,’ composed by an individual author?” — James Clifford Learning and development are complex phenomena. The cultural and cognitive processes bound up in learning can be crucially contingent on the history of local community practices, the social and material conditions of specific situations, and they can span across social settings, activity systems, and cultural groupings and deeply relate to the local history. Learning processes and outcomes can play out across short to long time scales from milliseconds to decades. These complexities pose particular conceptual, methodological, and representational challenges. Studies of human development and learning have taken an ethnographic turn over the last twenty years.

  • (Title of the Thesis)*
    “This Third Space”: Real-and-Imagined Spaces in Turn-of-the-Century American Settlement Fiction by Melissa Pound A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in English Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2012 ©Melissa Pound 2012 AUTHOR'S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This thesis is a literary analysis of American settlement fiction, using a spatially-informed cultural historicist approach. The settlement movement in the U.S. was both a Progressive Era reform movement and a precursor to modern-day social welfare systems. As such, it has typically been viewed in either laudatory or censorious terms – as an innovative force for social good, or as a negative source of social control. Drawing on Edward Soja’s concept of Thirdspace as a uniquely generative and semiotically rich cultural site, and focusing on Hull House as an example of Thirdspace, I argue that the settlement movement was in fact an extraordinarily multivalent phenomenon. Hull House (and the many settlement houses modeled after it) instantiated issues of gender, class, and race in complex ways that both reflected and refracted larger patterns in American culture. Moreover, these same patterns are evident in fiction that incorporates the spaces of the settlement house and the figure of the settlement worker. Contextualized readings of five novels (Elia Wilkinson Peattie’s The Precipice, Clara Laughlin’s Just Folks, Hervey White’s Differences, Sherwood Anderson’s Marching Men, and W.E.B.

  • Mapping White College Students' Racial Ideology in The
    ARTICLE 50 “I am not a racist but . .”: mapping White college students’ racial ideology in the USA Discourse & Society Copyright © 2000 SAGE Publications (London, EDUARDO BONILLA-SILVA Thousand Oaks, CA TEXAS A& M UNIVERSITY and New Delhi) Vol 11(1): 50–85 [0957-9265 TYRONE A. FORMAN (200001) 11:1; UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN 50–85; 008598] ABSTRACT. Survey-based research on Whites’ racial attitudes in the USA has characterized their views as either ‘tolerant’ or ‘ambivalent’. We argue that surveys on racial attitudes have systematically underestimated the extent of prejudice in the White population. The legal and normative changes created by the civil rights movement of the 1960s brought a new racial ideology (‘color blind racism’), with new topics and a new form. These matters were examined by collecting survey and interview data from college students in three universities. The main findings were that White respondents appear to be more prejudiced in the interviews than in the survey, use a new racetalk to avoid appearing ‘racist’, and that the themes and arguments that they mobilize are congruent with what other analysts have labeled as ‘laissez faire’ or ‘competitive’ racism. KEY WORDS: color blind, racial ideology, racism, semantic moves Introduction Since the civil rights period it has become common for Whites to use phrases such as “I am not a racist, but . .” as shields to avoid being labeled as “racist” when express- ing racial ideas’ (VanDijk, 1984:120).These discursive maneuvers or semantic moves are usually followed by negative statements on the general character of minorities (e.g. “they are lazy”, “they have too many babies”) or on government-sponsored poli- cies and programs that promote racial equality (e.g.

No sin esfuerzo, en los últimos años la Biblioteca de la Facultad ha conseguido ir acumulando un número importante de obras, a menudo difíciles de conseguir. El esfuerzo merece la pena porque se trataba de conseguir que alumnos y profesores puedan tener accesible lo que escribieron las pioneras, convertidas ya en nuestros clásicos. Cualquier disciplina necesita de estas referencias y no sólo por motivos históricos, sino para construir su propia identidad. De la misma manera que no hay psicólogos que no hayan leído a sus clásicos, ni sociólogos o antropólogos que no hayan leído a los suyos, tampoco debería haber trabajadores sociales que ignoren lo que supusieron, en su momento y todavía hoy, las aportaciones de Mary Richmond, de Jane Addams, de Gordon Hamilton, de Octavia Hill, de Virginia Robinson, de Jessie Taft, Charlotte Towle, así como por qué citamos a los Web o a Edward T.
