[Approved, January 4, 1889, and amended July 3, 1957.] Background The American Historical Association is a nonprofit membership cor poration founded in 1884, and incorporated by Congress in 1889, for the promotion of historical studies, the collection and preservation of histor ical manuscripts, and the dissemination of the fruits of historical research, The Association holds an annual meeting December 28-30 at which there are more than one hundred sessions on a wide range of topics, including scholarly research, approaches to teaching, and professional concerns. Approximately three dozen affiliated societies meetjointly with the AHA. Membership in the Association brings with it the American Historical Review, Perspectives, the Program of the annual meeting, and on request, the Annual Report, as well as the right to vote for nominees for AHA offices. The annual membership fee is based on a graduated scale accord ing to income; joint and life memberships are also available. The Association’s capital funds are managed by a Board of Trustees but much of the income from these funds is allocated to special purposes. for its broader educational activities, the Association has to depend chiefly on its membership dues. PUBLICATIONS The American Historical Review, published five times a year, is the major historical journal in the United States, It includes scholarly articles and critical reviews in all fields of history. Perspectives, published nine times a year, is the Association’s monthly newsletter, It contains articles and announcements of general interest to the profession, employment classified advertising, and news of AHA activities. The Directory of History Departments and Organizations in the United States and Canada, published annually, lists the programs, faculty, and staff of nearly seven hundred departments and research institutions. PROFESSIONAL AC1VITIES In February 1974 the membership ratified a new constitution, thereby creating three divisional committees—research, teaching, the profes sion — which appropriately reflect the most significant concerns and ac tivities of the Association. AMERICAN HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION Research, The Association’s long-standing interest in promoting his torical scholarship continues. The AHR and the annual meeting provide forums for significant research in all fields of history. Through the Research Division, the Al-IA also keeps a close watch on governmental policies affecting the ability of scholars to pursue research. The As sociation is frequently called on to represent the views of the profession on legislation relating to freedom of information, declassification, and the right to privacy. The AHA maintains a registry of dissertation topics in history and annually publishes a list of doctoral dissertations either in progress or completed at U.S. universities. Teaching. The constitution mandates that the Teaching Division “col lect and disseminate information about the training of teachers and about instructional techniques and materials and, . encourage excellence in the teaching of history in the schools, colleges, and universities.” Among other efforts advancing this objective, the Association sponsors a series of regional teaching conferences across the country that bring together historians from all levels of education. The AHA, together with the Organization of American Historians and the National Council for the Social Studies, sponsors the History Teaching Alliance. The HTA staff provides direction and support for the creation of local collaborative programs that bring all practitioners of history — university and secondary school teachers, public historians, and others — into sustained contact in order that they might share their knowledge in an ongoing partnership to improve history education in their communities. The AHA is also active in promoting the teaching of women’s history in secondary schools. The Association publishes a series of pamphlets to serve as aids to teachers and students of history. These pamphlets offer concise and readable essays that are at once narrative and critical. These essays summarize the most recent interpretations in specific areas of or ap proaches to history, and select critical bibliographies are included. In commemoration of the 1987 bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution, the AHA published a series of eleven in-depth essays by prominent constitu tional historians. Three essays trace the history of the Constitution chro nologically; the remaining eight examine the principal institutions and issues that have shaped its role and application. Profession. The AHA constitution mandates that the Professional Di vision “collect and disseminate information about employment oppor tunities for all historians regardless of individual membership in the Association.” The division is especially concerned with the job market, careers outside academe, and the rights of historians at home and abroad. BACKGROUND The Association solicits information on employment opportunities for historians and publishes job announcements in its monthly newsletter, Perspectives. At each annual meeting, the AHA operates a Job Register for the posting of job announcements and the interviewing of candidates. Institutional Services Program. An Institutional Services Program was inaugurated in 1976 in order to expand AFIA services to departments of history. The program offers subscribers an important collection of direc tories, guides, reference works, pamphlets, and professional publications. Widespread support of the program ensures the continued expansion of its benefits and services. A brochure describing

Wong All rights reserved. Professor Michael Szonyi John D. Wong Global Positioning: Houqua and his China Trade Partners in the Nineteenth Century Abstract This study unearths the lost world of early-nineteenth-century Canton. Known today as Guangzhou, this Chinese city witnessed the economic dynamism of global commerce until the demise of the Canton System in 1842. Records of its commercial vitality and global interactions faded only because we have allowed our image of old Canton to be clouded by China’s weakness beginning in the mid-1800s. By reviving this story of economic vibrancy, I restore the historical contingency at the juncture at which global commercial equilibrium unraveled with the collapse of the Canton system, and reshape our understanding of China’s subsequent economic experience. I explore this story of the China trade that helped shape the modern world through the lens of a single prominent merchant house and its leading figure, Wu Bingjian, known to the West by his trading name of Houqua.

  • In 193X, Constance Rourke's Book American Humor Was Reviewed In
    OUR LIVELY ARTS: AMERICAN CULTURE AS THEATRICAL CULTURE, 1922-1931 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Schlueter, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Thomas Postlewait, Adviser Professor Lesley Ferris Adviser Associate Professor Alan Woods Graduate Program in Theatre Copyright by Jennifer Schlueter c. 2007 ABSTRACT In the first decades of the twentieth century, critics like H.L. Mencken and Van Wyck Brooks vociferously expounded a deep and profound disenchantment with American art and culture. At a time when American popular entertainments were expanding exponentially, and at a time when European high modernism was in full flower, American culture appeared to these critics to be at best a quagmire of philistinism and at worst an oxymoron. Today there is still general agreement that American arts “came of age” or “arrived” in the 1920s, thanks in part to this flogging criticism, but also because of the powerful influence of European modernism. Yet, this assessment was not, at the time, unanimous, and its conclusions should not, I argue, be taken as foregone. In this dissertation, I present crucial case studies of Constance Rourke (1885-1941) and Gilbert Seldes (1893-1970), two astute but understudied cultural critics who saw the same popular culture denigrated by Brooks or Mencken as vibrant evidence of exactly the modern American culture they were seeking. In their writings of the 1920s and 1930s, Rourke and Seldes argued that our “lively arts” (Seldes’ formulation) of performance—vaudeville, minstrelsy, burlesque, jazz, radio, and film—contained both the roots of our own unique culture as well as the seeds of a burgeoning modernism.

    INSTITUTES Institutes fo r College and University Faculty provide intensive study of texts, historical ‘periods, and ideas central to undergraduate teaching in the humanities. They take place in settings suitable fo r research, and they allow faculty to examine significant material under the direction of recognized scholars. They thus prepare faculty to return to their classrooms with a deeper knowledge o f important scholarship in key fields of the humanities. Institutes are sponsored by colleges, universities, libraries, museums, and professional organizations. Participation is open to full-tim e teachers in two-year and four-year colleges and universities, with twenty to thirty participants in a given institute selected in open competition by the institute’s staff. The study program emphasizes collaborative work under the direction of a group of scholars. Participants in these four- to six-week summer institutes receive stipends of $250per week and an allowance fo r travel, room, and board. Prospective participants should write or call the directors of the institutes in which they are interested. There is no need to communicate with NEH. Scholars interested in conducting an institute, however, should write or call: Higher Education in the Humanities, Room 302— NEH, 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.

  • 2008 OAH Annual Meeting • New York 1
    Welcome ear colleagues in history, welcome to the one-hundred-fi rst annual meeting of the Organiza- tion of American Historians in New York. Last year we met in our founding site of Minneap- Dolis-St. Paul, before that in the national capital of Washington, DC. On the present occasion wew meet in the world’s media capital, but in a very special way: this is a bridge-and-tunnel aff air, not limitedli to just the island of Manhattan. Bridges and tunnels connect the island to the larger metropolitan region. For a long time, the peoplep in Manhattan looked down on people from New Jersey and the “outer boroughs”— Brooklyn, theth Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island—who came to the island via those bridges and tunnels. Bridge- and-tunnela people were supposed to lack the sophistication and style of Manhattan people. Bridge- and-tunnela people also did the work: hard work, essential work, beautifully creative work. You will sees this work in sessions and tours extending beyond midtown Manhattan. Be sure not to miss, for example,e “From Mambo to Hip-Hop: Th e South Bronx Latin Music Tour” and the bus tour to my own Photo by Steve Miller Steve by Photo cityc of Newark, New Jersey. Not that this meeting is bridge-and-tunnel only. Th anks to the excellent, hard working program committee, chaired by Debo- rah Gray White, and the local arrangements committee, chaired by Mark Naison and Irma Watkins-Owens, you can chose from an abundance of off erings in and on historic Manhattan: in Harlem, the Cooper Union, Chinatown, the Center for Jewish History, the Brooklyn Historical Society, the New-York Historical Society, the American Folk Art Museum, and many other sites of great interest.

    HIST 3822. Modern China Prof. Peter Zarrow Spring 2016 Wood Hall 327 Tu/Th 9:30-10:45, LH106 office hours: Th 11-12:30 & by appt. China today is in the midst of the fastest economic and social-cultural transformation of any nation in history. The Chinese economy is today, by many measurements, the world’s largest. Whether we can sum up conditions in China as “socialism with Chinese characteristics,” “mercantilist capitalism,” “East Asian authoritarian developmentalism” or some other label, China cannot be understood without knowledge of its revolutionary heritage and long-standing technologies of mass mobilization. And the revolutionary heritage of the twentieth century cannot be understood without knowledge of the political, socio-economic, and cultural systems that came under great strain in the nineteenth century. “China” today is itself a direct product of the Qing Empire (1644-1912), which expanded its borders to nearly double the territories claimed by the Ming Empire (1368-1644). This state was falling apart in the nineteenth century, but China was strengthened and reestablished through revolutionary movements (Nationalist as well as Communist) over the course of the twentieth century. Grading for this class is based on the following work: -class participation and reports; short reading-reaction papers; quizzes: 25% -paper 1: 25% -paper 2: 25% -paper 3: 25% There are no exams in this course.

Keightley HISTORIAN OF EARLY CHINA, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY, 1969-1998 With an Introduction by David Johnson Interviews Conducted by Frances Starn in 2001 * Copyright 2003 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development ofNorthern California, the West, and the Nation. Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and David N.
