Jim Dougherty's Tape Collection Special Collections and University Archives Manuscript Group 176 James Dougherty Collection For Scholarly Use Only Last Modified January 17, 2019 Indiana University of Pennsylvania 302 Stapleton Library Indiana, PA 15705-1096 Voice: (724) 357-3039 Fax: (724) 357-4891 Manuscript Group 176: James Dougherty Collection 2 James Dougherty Collection; Manuscript Group 176 Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Special Collections and University Archives 43 boxes; 43 linear feet Biographical Note James (Jim) Dougherty grew up in rural Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, in the small former coal mining village of Bigler, a community of 800 people. His father raised four children and worked in a local brickyard. After graduating from Clearfield High School, James Dougherty attended Mercyhurst College and later graduated from Clarion University of Pennsylvania with a BA in Liberal Arts. He went onto work as a VISTA Volunteer for two years and then enrolled in the Sociology MA Program at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP). James Dougherty started teaching as an instructor in the Sociology Department in 1979, and produced several documentaries, organized nationally recognized conferences (The Industrial North, 1982 received coverage in the New York Times), presented papers and gave presentations at international, national, state, and local academic conferences, edited two books, and has written many articles. He organized a number of oral history/visual ethnography field schools that took students into many the local coal mining towns in Indiana and Cambria counties to conduct qualitative research. Dougherty also worked for the US National Park Service as a historian and ethnographer and secured $120,000 in grants to IUP for research and organizing educational programs in and outside of the classroom. After teaching and graduating from IUP, James Dougherty enrolled in the University of Buffalo’s doctoral program in American Studies, a program that focused on Women’s Studies, Native American Studies, Latin American Studies, African American Studies and Working Class Studies. As part of his graduate assistantship, Dougherty taught master level courses to students that were incarcerated at a maximum security prison near Buffalo, New York. After earning his PhD from the State University of New York (SUNY) Buffalo, Dr. Dougherty taught in the Sociology Department at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) where he has taught traditional and non-traditional students. His research interests and areas of expertise include Appalachian Studies, working class culture, globalization, and social change. He was also the founding director of the Center for Northern Appalachian Studies at IUP, which opened in 2007. In 2012, he chaired the Appalachian Studies Association’s national conference that was hosted by IUP through the guidance of the IUP Center for Northern Appalachian Studies. As a result, the IUP Northern Appalachian Folk Festival (NAFF) was organized and has taken place in Indiana, Pennsylvania, since 2013. His teaching methods have included lectures, the use of popular cultural forms (music and film), in-class work assignments, and critical thinking sessions. In introductory classes, Dr. Dougherty evaluated students based upon their performances on quizzes and objective exams. His upper level courses were more writing intensive through the use of blue book essay exams, “position papers” assignments, and group work on oral presentation projects as part of the assessment process. In addition to engaging students in the classroom, Dr. Dougherty also involved them in research and educational projects on campus and in the community. Through the Appalachian Manuscript Group 176: James Dougherty Collection 3 Teaching Project they worked on projects that promoted economic sustainability in our region. He was the faculty advisor to the student group “IUP Voices for Peace” which showed students films, hosted speakers, attended conferences, rallies, erected public displays on the campus grounds, and conducted research for the development of a “Peace Studies” program. His scholarly interests are diverse and reflect a broad investigation of how social change, particularly industrialization and deindustrialization have affected the United States. Scope and Content The James Dougherty Collection contains field notes, oral history interviews, and research projects many of which were related to courses taught by Dr. James Dougherty for the Sociology Department at IUP between 1983 and 2010. A significant portion of this collection is relevant to 20th century American history, and the culture of Western Pennsylvania with particular emphasis on the coal and steel industry in the Monongahela (Mon) Valley and Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Most of the research materials and audio/visual recordings in the collection date from the 1980s to 2010. The collection includes materials that reflect Dr. James Dougherty’s documentation of political activism and protest movements as well as his research interests in historic preservation, coal culture, industry, labor and unionization, Northern Appalachia, and field work germane to the Southwestern Pennsylvania Heritage Preservation Commission (SPHPC) including: Manuscript Group 74 Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) and Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) Materials; Manuscript Group 75 Southwestern Pennsylvania Heritage Preservation Commission (SPHPC) Records; and Manuscript Group 76 Folklife Division of the Southwestern Pennsylvania Heritage Preservation Commission (SPHPC).

  • 2017 Annual Report the Resurgence of Grassroots Activism a Message from the 2017 Year in Review Executive Director
    INTERNATIONAL LABOR RIGHTS FORUM 2017 ANNUAL REPORT THE RESURGENCE OF GRASSROOTS ACTIVISM A MESSAGE FROM THE 2017 YEAR IN REVIEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Friends, In 2017, we were inspired by the surge in protests demanding workers’ rights, women’s rights, and migrant workers’ rights – all issues ILRF has worked on for decades. We have also been heartened by growing numbers of investors, human rights groups, and environmentalists joining our demands that global corporations commit to greater transparency and to ensuring workers’ access to legal remedy. At ILRF, we are working to stop human rights abuses in global supply chains, industry by industry and country by country. • We have turned the global cocoa giants’ attention towards strategies that address the poverty among West African cocoa farmers and how poverty is a root cause of child labor and damaging to school enrollment and performance. • We have pioneered new approaches to corporate accountability in global supply chains, helping to make the legally binding Bangladesh Accord on Fire and Building Safety a model for pushing corporations beyond their flawed codes of conduct. • We have forged critical alliances with environmental rights advocates to expose forced labor and its links to environmental crimes in high demand commodities such as seafood and palm oil. ILRF’s priority campaigns focus on sectors where workers are particularly vulnerable, and where child labor, forced labor and violence against women at work are rampant and under protected. These are sectors where workers’ rights to organize and bargain for better wages and working conditions are often violently repressed, making it that much harder to identify and end egregious abuses.

  • The CHAIRMAN. Our Next Witness Is Ms. Eleanor Smeal, Repre- Senting the National Organization for Women
    395 The Effect on Future Nominations Finally, I would like to say something about why the line I attempt to draw in this testimony is so critical rinnt now. As I said earlier, we have had 101 Justices in IV years. This comes to an appointment, on the averaao, every oi!.< r year. We .have, however, had only one appoint lent in the last nine years. Five of the current Justices were born be'.ucen 1906 and 1908. It is not unreasonable to expect that Mi. re will be five additional Court so.iL? to fill before th: ,;(vr.ie is through. Going further, the current President and '.In- next three persons to be elected president can be expected irly to rename the entire Court. This speaks to the Senate's institutional role. No one now knows who the president will be four, eight,or 12 years from now. No one now knows which party will control the Senate at any of these times. Precedent established with the current nomination will be invoked when future presidents nominate future men and women to sit on the Supreme Comt. It would be extrenely unfortunate if that precedent revealed a Senate willing to use the confirrr.ation process to reject a nominee because she refused to adopt a particular position on an emerging constitutional question. Adoption of such a senatorial role would seriously weaken the Court and, eventually, the nation. Thank you very much. The CHAIRMAN. Our next witness is Ms. Eleanor Smeal, repre- senting the National Organization for Women. Ms. Smeal, will you hold up your hand and be sworn? Do you swear that the evidence you give in this hearing shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God? Ms.
