New Degree Program Proposal Master's Degree in History Status: Pending Review - Faculty Senate Exec Committee (Previous Version) Hide All Reviews 1. Review - College Approver - Liberal Arts Sent Back by Alison Johnston Assistant Professor / Political Science Dept, April 16, 2019 3:05pm Comments Alison Johnston (College Approver - Liberal Arts) April 16, 2019 3:05pm Sending back this proposal per Nicole von Germeten's request. 2. Originator Response J Nicole von Germeten Director-SHPR / Liberal Arts Admin, April 17, 2019 2:36pm Comments J Nicole von Germeten April 17, 2019 2:36pm We have added language addressing the online Master's degree in History, as well as a Liaison letter from Lisa Templeton. 3. Review - College Approver - Liberal Arts Approved by Alison Johnston Assistant Professor / Political Science Dept, April 23, 2019 9:43am Comments Alison Johnston (College Approver - Liberal Arts) April 23, 2019 9:43am Two members of the CLA Curriculum Committee reviewed the proposal in detail and the full committee met to discuss it. The committee was impressed by the thoroughness of the proposal and found the degree very well justified. 4. Review - Curriculum Coordinator Approved by Janice Nave-Abele Curriculum Coordinator / Acad Progms & Assessment, April 23, 2019 10:21am 5. Review - Graduate School Approved by Stephanie Bernell Associate Dean / Graduate School Admin, April 30, 2019 2:06pm Comments Stephanie Bernell (Graduate School) April 30, 2019 2:06pm The draft GLO assessment outlined is a good start. As you move forward, let me help you think through the details of the GLO assessment process. 6. Review - Budgets and Fiscal Planning Committee Sent Back by Andrew Ibarra Dir-Physical Activity Program / Sch of Bio/Pop Hlth Sci, May 9, 2019 2:44pm Comments Andrew Ibarra (Budgets and Fiscal Planning Committee) May 9, 2019 2:44pm We had a couple things that the committee had questions on or concerns: 1) There is an inaccuracy between the excel budget and then the explanation of the budget narrative, it does not include the $700 for the library expenses, and has $10K for construction costs that are not clear in the narrative 2) An endowment is listed, but is that the earnings or the principle. Basically, what is actually usable should be listed. 3) It is still pending approval to hire two positions but they are instrumental to the proposal 4) Based on the Grad school requirements you cannot hire Grad students at a .2 FTE. If this is just stating that student hourly positions are available for these students please clarify. 7. Originator Response J Nicole von Germeten Director-SHPR / Liberal Arts Admin, May 15, 2019 9:58am Comments J Nicole von Germeten May 15, 2019 9:58am I have made all of the edits suggested above. I am still waiting for Larry Rodgers' approval of the hires. The Masters could begin without these hires made instantly, with students working with our other 26 plus HST faculty members. I would not call them (as stated above) "instrumental to the proposal" but instead highly beneficial to given students the highest possible quality for a Masters degree in History, as well as a PhD program (which has existed for over 2 decades already) in the History of Science. As is, our faculty is superb (please see the external reviewers comments) and certainly can handle a small Masters as we are proposing. Thank you for your consideration. 8. Review - Budgets and Fiscal Planning Committee Sent Back by Andrew Ibarra Dir-Physical Activity Program / Sch of Bio/Pop Hlth Sci, May 28, 2019 2:47pm Comments Andrew Ibarra (Budgets and Fiscal Planning Committee) May 28, 2019 2:47pm Nicole, thank you for updating the info. The committee reviewed the new documents and still had a few questions that we wanted cleared up. 1) The Grad hourly appointments seem to be counter to the grad student union rules (I contacted Steph Bernell and she confirmed this) as a committee we would not be able to take to a vote until this got resolved. I think the best option would be to revamp how the Grad Student appointments or work is going to be done or use correct language that aligns with the Union agreement. https://hr.oregonstate.edu/sites/hr.oregonstate.edu/files/ercc/gradstud/graduate-employee-faqs.pdf 2) It lists very clearly the Dean has yet to support the two position searches. Are the two new position important to the delivery of the degree and if so, we would not feel comfortable taking a vote until the Dean was in support of those searches. 3) Similar to question 2, can you deliver the degree without the support of the Horning Endowment funds? 9. Originator Response J Nicole von Germeten Director-SHPR / Liberal Arts Admin, June 3, 2019 2:41pm Comments J Nicole von Germeten June 3, 2019 2:41pm Hello, Sorry for the delay. I have added 4 docs here: 1 - a new budget from Penny Pinard/ASBC. 2- an additional informational document from Penny Pinard. 3 - a revised budget narrative which addresses all of the concerns mentioned by the Budget Committee. 4 - a statement of student support for the program. We would like to strongly stress that, as very clearly indicated by our team of external reviewers, our current HST faculty is more than sufficient to manage a superb Master's program. 10. Review - Budgets and Fiscal Planning Committee Approved by Andrew Ibarra Dir-Physical Activity Program / Sch of Bio/Pop Hlth Sci, June 4, 2019 2:58pm 11. Review - Graduate Council Chair Sent Back by Ben Mason Associate Professor / Sch of Civil/Constr Engr, October 14, 2019 1:37pm Comments Ben Mason (Graduate Council Chair) October 14, 2019 1:37pm Please make changes discussed during the 10/14/2019 Graduate Council meeting and resubmit. thank you! 12. Originator Response J Nicole von Germeten Director-SHPR / Liberal Arts Admin, October 14, 2019 2:18pm Comments J Nicole von Germeten October 14, 2019 2:18pm I have responded to all comments made in the Graduate Council Meeting on 10/14/2019. I have changed minor wording re: online delivery and thesis credits in the main proposal document. I have added 2 separate sets of GLO for the MA and MS. I have solicited further external reviewers from OSU E-Campus in order to comment on the online delivery of this degree, and will add these letters of support as soon as I receive them. 13.

Review - Graduate Council Chair Approved by Ben Mason Associate Professor / Sch of Civil/Constr Engr, October 28, 2019 1:44pm Comments Ben Mason (Graduate Council Chair) October 28, 2019 1:44pm The Graduate Council recommends that we approve the proposal, but we highly recommend that the originator remove any mention of ecampus throughout all the proposal documents (and proposal comments below) before it leaves the curriculum council. 16. Review - Curriculum Council Chair Sent Back by Michele Swift Senior Instructor I / College of Business Dept, November 7, 2019 1:42pm Comments Michele Swift (Curriculum Council Chair) November 7, 2019 1:42pm Please adjust the proposal to reflect HST 514, not HST 513, as the new Public History course. Also confirm that any mention of Ecampus was removed from the proposal documents, as per Grad Council's request. Thanks! 17. Originator Response J Nicole von Germeten Director-SHPR / Liberal Arts Admin, November 7, 2019 1:54pm Comments J Nicole von Germeten November 7, 2019 1:54pm Hi, I fixed my typos re: HST 514 (public history). I have searched all of the documents and believe there are no longer any references to online delivery. Thank you. 18.

Furthermore, while acknowledging the nuns’ work on issues of social justice,1 the report criticized their heavy emphasis on these efforts while not promoting the Church’s right- 2 \ Chapter 1 Excerpt • Temple University Press to-life mission, particularly noting their silence on abortion. The Assessment was also critical of an affiliate of the LCWR, the Catholic social justice lobby, NETWORK (Vatican Congrega- tion for the Doctrine of the Faith 2012). Throughout the document outlining the Assessment were calls for obedience and allegiance of religious congregations to the bish- ops and for greater collaboration between the United States Con- ference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and the LCWR.

  • Wychwood Park Wychwood Park Sits on a Height of Land That Was Once the Lake Iroquois Shore
    Wychwood Park Wychwood Park sits on a height of land that was once the Lake Iroquois shore. The source for Taddle Creek lies to the north and provides the water for the pond found in the centre of the Park. Today, Taddle Creek continues under Davenport Road at the base of the escarpment and flows like an underground snake towards the Gooderham and Worts site and into Lake Ontario. Access to this little known natural area of Toronto is by two entrances one at the south, where a gate prevents though traffic, and the other entrance at the north end, off Tyrell Avenue, which provides the regular vehicular entrance and exit. A pedestrian entrance is found between 77 and 81 Alcina Avenue. Wychwood Park was founded by Marmaduke Matthews and Alexander Jardine in the third quarter of the 19th century. In 1874, Matthews, a land- scape painter, built the first house in the Park (6 Wychwood Park) which he named “Wychwood,” after Wychwood Forest near his home in England. The second home in Wychwood Park, “Braemore,” was built by Jardine a few years later (No. 22). When the Park was formally established in 1891, the deed provided building standards and restrictions on use. For instance, no commercial activities were permitted, there were to be no row houses, and houses must cost not less than $3,000. By 1905, other artists were moving to the Park. Among the early occupants were the artist George A. Reid (Uplands Cottage at No. 81) and the architect Eden Smith (No. 5). Smith designed both 5 and 81, as well as a number of others, all in variations of the Arts and Crafts style promoted by C.F.A.

  • History of San Marino
    History of San Marino The official date of the foundation of the Republic of San Marino is AD 3 September 301. Legend states that a Christian stonecutter named Marinus escaped persecution from the Roman emperor Diocletian by sailing from the Croatian island of Arbe across the Adriatic Sea to Rimini. Marinus became a hermit, taking up residency on Monte Titano, where he built up a Christian community. He was later canonized andthe land renamed in his honor. Throughout the Middle Ages, the tiny territory made alliances and struggled to remain intact as a string of feudal lords attempted to conquer it in their attempts to control the Papal States. On 27 June 1463, Pope Pio II gave San Marino the castles of Serravalle, Fiorentino, and Montegiardino. The castle Faetano voluntarily joined later that year, increasing San Marino’s boundaries to their present size. In 1503, Cesare Borgia managed to conquer and rule San Marino for six months. In 1739, Cardinal Alberoni’s troops occupied San Marino. After many protests, the Pope sent Monsignor Enrico Enriquez to investigate the legality of Alberoni’s occupation, and San Marino subsequently regained its independence on St. Agatha’s day, now a national holiday. In 1797, Napoleon invaded the Italian peninsula. Reaching Rimini, he stopped short of San Marino, praising it as a model of republican liberty. San Marino declined his offer to extend its lands to the Adriatic Sea. With the fall of Napoleon, San Marino was recognized as an independent state, adopting the motto Nemini Teneri (Not dependent upon anyone). San Marino remains neutral in wartime, but many Sammarinese volunteered in the Italian Army during World War I.

  • Uneasy Intimacies: Race, Family, and Property in Santiago De Cuba, 1803-1868 by Adriana Chira
    Uneasy Intimacies: Race, Family, and Property in Santiago de Cuba, 1803-1868 by Adriana Chira A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology and History) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Jesse E. Hoffnung-Garskof, Co-Chair Professor Rebecca J. Scott, Co-Chair Associate Professor Paulina L. Alberto Professor Emerita Gillian Feeley-Harnik Professor Jean M. Hébrard, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales Professor Martha Jones To Paul ii Acknowledgments One of the great joys and privileges of being a historian is that researching and writing take us through many worlds, past and present, to which we become bound—ethically, intellectually, emotionally. Unfortunately, the acknowledgments section can be just a modest snippet of yearlong experiences and life-long commitments. Archivists and historians in Cuba and Spain offered extremely generous support at a time of severe economic challenges. In Havana, at the National Archive, I was privileged to get to meet and learn from Julio Vargas, Niurbis Ferrer, Jorge Macle, Silvio Facenda, Lindia Vera, and Berta Yaque. In Santiago, my research would not have been possible without the kindness, work, and enthusiasm of Maty Almaguer, Ana Maria Limonta, Yanet Pera Numa, María Antonia Reinoso, and Alfredo Sánchez. The directors of the two Cuban archives, Martha Ferriol, Milagros Villalón, and Zelma Corona, always welcomed me warmly and allowed me to begin my research promptly. My work on Cuba could have never started without my doctoral committee’s support. Rebecca Scott’s tireless commitment to graduate education nourished me every step of the way even when my self-doubts felt crippling.
