Conkey Professor Barrie Thorne Spring 2012 Domestic Artifacts, Political Practices: An Archaeology of Women’s Reform Efforts and the Home, 1854-1939 © 2012 By Kimberly Elizabeth Christensen Abstract An Archaeology of Women’s Reform Efforts and the Home, 1854-1939 by Kimberly Elizabeth Christensen Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender and Sexuality University of California, Berkeley Professor Laurie A. Wilkie, Chair This dissertation examines issues of gender, practice, and sociopolitical reform efforts through the lens of household archaeology. Archaeological and historical research undertaken at the homes of Matilda Joslyn Gage (1826-1898) and May Shepard Cheney (1862-1942) provide a means of examining how gender ideologies were lived and negotiated in practice in contexts of homes that were integrally involved in sociopolitical reform efforts. Gage, who fought for suffrage and woman’s rights during the late 19th century, and Cheney, who used her administrative position at the University of California, Berkeley during the early 20th century to advocate for women’s social, political, and economic opportunities, both brought elements of their reform work into their homes. By examining artifacts such as tea wares, children’s toys, a Japanese garden, and canning jars, I show how the Gage and Cheney households deftly navigated the gendered norms of their time while simultaneously working to reform those norms. Through this, I also highlight the significance of their husbands, Henry Hill Gage and Warren Cheney, and children in these negotiations within the home. The use of material culture in reform pursuits at these sites highlights the multivalent nature of meanings attributable to objects, and emphasizes that ownership of particular household materials does not mean that a particular household necessarily adhered to hegemonic gender ideologies. Instead, household material culture was used by these two households in ways that suited their reform ideals. This dissertation is also an example of feminist-inspired collaborative archaeology. Work at both sites was conducted in ways that sought to demystify the process of research and foster less- hierarchical relationships with stakeholders. 1 Table of Contents List of Figures ................................................................................................................................. v List of Tables ................................................................................................................................ vii Acknowledgments........................................................................................................................ viii Chapter 1: Introduction ................................................................................................................... 1 Why Matilda Joslyn Gage and May Shepard Cheney ................................................................ 1 Households as Significant Social Arenas ................................................................................... 2 Theories of Practice .................................................................................................................... 3 Feminist Archaeology and the Archaeology of Gender ............................................................. 3 Structure of the dissertation ........................................................................................................ 5 Chapter 2: The Gage and Cheney Sites and Households ................................................................ 7 Introduction ................................................................................................................................. 7 The Gage Home & Property in Fayetteville, New York ............................................................ 7 Structures on the Property ....................................................................................................... 9 Peopling the household: The Gages ...................................................................................... 11 The Cheney Home and Property in Berkeley, California ......................................................... 18 Structures on the Property ..................................................................................................... 19 Peopling the Household: The Cheneys ................................................................................. 21 Household Composition over the Years ............................................................................... 29 i Conclusions ............................................................................................................................... 31 Chapter 3: Methodology and Findings ......................................................................................... 32 Collaborative Archaeology ....................................................................................................... 32 Many Practitioners, Many Definitions .................................................................................. 32 Reconsidering “the public” ................................................................................................... 35 Methods Utilized in Public Archaeology .............................................................................. 37 Motivations: Why Do Public Archaeology?

  • Tom Bates and the Secret Government of Berkeley
    TOM BATES AND THE SECRET GOVERNMENT OF BERKELEY By John Curl Copyright © 2012 by John Curl. All rights reserved. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ John Curl is the author of For All The People: Uncovering the Hidden History of Cooperation, Cooperative Movements, and Communalism in America, with a foreword by Ishmael Reed. If you meet with mayor Tom Bates in his office at Berkeley city hall, you’ll see an old photo on the wall behind him of Emiliano Zapata, hero of the Mexican revolution, champion of the downtrodden. I have been in his office only two times in Bates’ decade in power, and on both occasions I was stopped short by the jaw-dropping contrast. What can Bates be thinking? Can he really be comparing himself with Zapata, can he really think of himself as a visionary champion of social justice? If Zapata were alive and saw this career politician using his image, I wonder what would he do. If all you knew about Mr. Bates was his official resume, you might be bewildered by my saying that. Before his decade as mayor, he was a liberal standard bearer for twenty years in the California State Assembly for his East Bay district, and during that time was considered one of the legislature's most progressive members. Yet despite being in the public eye for over forty years and currently running for yet another mayoral term, Tom Bates is a public figure hiding in plain sight, with a long shadowy history not widely known. A lot of things are said about Bates. “Tom is not a listener.” “He’s in bed with the right kinds of developers.” “Never saw a developer he didn’t like.” “Motivated by ego.” “Got an Edifice complex.” “He wants to leave a giant downtown and a West Berkeley wall as his legacy.” “The Bates machine.” “A shill for the University.” “Godfather of the Democratic Party.” “Loves to be the power broker.” “Back-room dealer.” “Dangles Democratic Party endorsements to control locally.” As Councilmember Jesse Arreguin put it, “We are being run by a political machine based on personal and political loyalty, not by certain core values.

In general, the new process would delegate much more authority to the campus for project approval, and would limit project-specific review by The Regents to very large and complex projects. Each campus would prepare a set of ‘framework’ plans that outline its capital investment strategy and physical design approach. Once those plans are approved by The Regents, then as long as a project meets certain thresholds, and conforms to the framework plans, it could be approved by the Chancellor, subject to a 15 day review by OP. One of these thresholds is dollar value: the currently proposed figure is $60 million or less. The framework plans for Berkeley include 3 documents: • The 2020 Long Range Development Plan provides a land use policy framework, within which projects can be prioritized and planned.

  • Forestry Education at the University of California: the First Fifty Years
    fORESTRY EDUCRTIOfl T THE UflIVERSITY Of CALIFORflffl The first fifty Years PAUL CASAMAJOR, Editor Published by the California Alumni Foresters Berkeley, California 1965 fOEUJOD T1HEhistory of an educational institution is peculiarly that of the men who made it and of the men it has helped tomake. This books tells the story of the School of Forestry at the University of California in such terms. The end of the first 50 years oi forestry education at Berkeley pro ides a unique moment to look back at what has beenachieved. A remarkable number of those who occupied key roles in establishing the forestry cur- riculum are with us today to throw the light of personal recollection and insight on these five decades. In addition, time has already given perspective to the accomplishments of many graduates. The School owes much to the California Alumni Foresters Association for their interest in seizing this opportunity. Without the initiative and sustained effort that the alunmi gave to the task, the opportunity would have been lost and the School would have been denied a valuable recapitulation of its past. Although this book is called a history, this name may be both unfair and misleading. If it were about an individual instead of an institution it might better be called a personal memoir. Those who have been most con- cerned with the task of writing it have perhaps been too close to the School to provide objective history. But if anything is lost on this score, it is more than regained by the personalized nature of the account.
