  • Elite Migration, Transnational Families, and the Nation State: International Marriages Between Finns and Americans Across the Atlantic in the Twentieth Century
    Elite Migration, Transnational Families, and the Nation State: International Marriages between Finns and Americans across the Atlantic in the Twentieth Century A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Johanna Katariina Leinonen IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advised by Donna Gabaccia and Erika Lee January 2011 © Johanna Leinonen, 2011 Acknowledgements I have been fortunate to have a wonderful support network of friends, family, and advisers during the years I have spent in Minnesota – a network that spans across the Atlantic, just like my research topic. First, I would like extend my gratitude to those Finns and Americans on both sides of the Atlantic who participated in my research. They generously donated their time and shared their stories of migration, marriage, and family life with me, and for that I am deeply grateful. I am profoundly indebted to my advisers, Donna Gabaccia and Erika Lee. I do not think it is possible to overstate the influence Donna has had not only on my research but also on my professional development more broadly. When I started my studies at the University of Minnesota in 2005, I was unsure of my professional identity: as my dissertation research is transnational, comparative, and interdisciplinary in nature, it did not comfortably fit in any traditional disciplinary silo or geographically limited area of specialization. Donna has truly been a role model for me in her passion for spearheading interdisciplinary research and teaching on international migration at the University of Minnesota. Her door has always been open to me with any questions or concerns I may have.

    From a “Contagious” to a “Poisonous Yellow Peril”?: Japanese and Japanese Americans in Public Health and Agriculture, 1890s – 1950 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Jeannie Natsuko Shinozuka IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Donna Gabaccia, Co-Advisor Ann Waltner, Co-Advisor May 2009 © Jeannie Natsuko Shinozuka 2009 Acknowledgements The act of writing this dissertation was not a solitary endeavor. There have been many, many individuals who have helped me along the way. I am deeply grateful to my dissertation committee: Donna Gabaccia, Ann Waltner, Rose Brewer, Kale Fajardo, and Malinda Alaine Lindquist. My co-advisors, Donna Gabaccia and Ann Waltner, deserve a great deal of gratitude since they shepherded this project from start to finish. Specifically, this study benefited from Ann Waltner’s expertise in East Asian history and Donna Gabaccia’s knowledge of Asian immigration and global history. I had the opportunity to work with a number of talented scholars during my undergraduate and early graduate training who have greatly influenced my intellectual formation. During the earliest stages of my undergraduate education at La Sierra University, my senior honors thesis mentor, Rennie B. Schoepflin, encouraged me in field of the history of medicine. Special thanks also to Cheryl Koos and the late Clark Davis for their support while at La Sierra. I have been fortunate to have had Marjorie Kagawa-Singer, Valerie Matsumoto, and Rachel Lee on my master’s thesis committee while at UCLA’s Asian American Studies Center. The guidance of Valerie Matsumoto in particular has been foundational in shaping my sense of professionalism and intellectual growth in more ways than she will ever know.

  • Immigrant Life in the U.S.: Multi-Disciplinary Perspectives
    Immigrant Life in the U.S. Immigrant Life in the U.S. brings together scholars from across the disciplines to examine diverse examples of immigration to the paradigmatic ‘nation of immi- grants.’ The volume covers a wide range of time periods, ethnic and national groups, and places of immigration. Contemporary Chinese children brought to the U.S. through adoption, Mexican laborers hired to work in the mid-west in the 1930s, Indian computer programmers hired to work in California, and more, are examined in a series of chapters that show the great diversity of issues facing immigrants in the past and in the present. Divided into three sections, the book explores issues of nationality and citizen- ship, youth in the context of family and school, and work and economic issues. In the first section, the focus is on how migrants negotiate their nationality and sense of belonging in conjunction with ‘natives’ and larger national forces. In the second section, contributions deal with the special situation of migrant youth, examining the ways in which their family, school, and cultural contexts shape their developing identities. The third section looks at the all-important issue of work and the process by which immigrant status complicates employment, labor, economic relations, and immigrants’ experience of themselves as people. This book emphasizes the complex tapestry that is the everyday experience of life as an immigrant and turns a critical eye on the place of globalization in the day-to-day life of immigrants. The contrasts it draws between past and present demonstrate the continued salience of national and ethnic identities while also describing how migrants can live almost simultaneously in two countries.

    SOC478H1S The Social Contexts of Public Policy Winter 2020 Instructor Ito Peng Department of Sociology 725 Spadina Avenue, Room 256/58 Time and Place of Class Tuesdays, 2-4 pm, Location: Sociology Dept – 725 Spadina Avenue, Room 41 Office Hours Mondays, 2:00-3:00 pm, and by appointment Best way to reach me is by email: e-mail: [email protected] Phone: 416-946-5902 Course Description Course Objectives: This course explores how policy processes and frameworks need to be evaluated in light of the social context in which they are developed. Factors to be considered include the interplay between public values and expectations and public policy; the implications of structural, demographic, cultural and ideational changes, and understandings of ethical principles of conduct in public organizations. In this course you will learn how to use empirical research to answer highly contested issues in policy circles and in public life. We will pursue these objectives by introducing students to major trends in inequality and social changes in Canada and in the world, assessing these trends within a comparative context, reflecting on their normative implications, and examining alternative policy responses to these developments. Important Note: The prerequisite to take this course is prior completion of at least 1.0 FCE at the 300-level sociology. Recommended Preparation: SOC301Y1 or SOC303H1 or SOC304H1 or SOC314H1 or SOC336H1 or SOC363H1 or SOC364H1 or SOC365H1 or SOC371H1 or SOC383H1. Students lacking this prerequisite can be removed at any time without notice. Readings: Each week, students are assigned “Required Readings” and “Supplementary Readings”. All students must read all the Required Readings each week.

  • The Long Tradition of Italian Immigrant Performers
    East Coast/West Coast: The Long Tradition of Italian Immigrant Performers Giuliana Muscio Italian cultural identity is a notoriously vexing issue. The myriad historical reasons for this have been amply discussed, but might be cynically summarized by Klemens von Metternich’s definition of the country as a “geographical expression.” 1 The matter has been further complicated by the Italian diaspora in the Americas: Italian emigrants have interpreted, imagined, exported (and at times even imported) an idea of Italianità that still today piques a kind of transnational cosmopolitan curiosity.2 This new, global Italian identity is corrective in that it addresses the limits of national historiography: in Italian textbooks and academic departments today emigration is still largely ignored, and in the United States focus is fixed on Southern Italian immigration, overlooking the variety of origins and destinations of the Italian diaspora. Neglected too are the niches and sub-niches that developed in those different destinations, especially the little-studied tradition of immigrant stage performers among those Italians who settled in the western United States, and particularly in California.3 First- and second-generation performers offered varied forms of entertainment referring to the immigrant stage to different ethnic communities in many locations, often, but not exclusively in metropolitan areas, and they warrant recognition in both Italian theater historiography and American cultural history. At the time of the great emigration (1880-1913), Italian immigrant theater became a crucial cultural institution, a cohesive force within the community from both a linguistic and socio- cultural point of view.4 These stage performers enacted and embodied Italianità for both the immigrant audiences and the many Americans who frequented their shows.
