Tolman Hall is seismically unsafe and will be demol- ished once the Psychology Department has moved to the Berkeley Way West complex at the corner of Shattuck Avenue and Berkeley Way in spring 2018. The namesake of Tolman Hall, his contributions to the study of psychology, including the “cognitive map,” and his refusal to take a loyalty oath should not be forgotten. Tolman was born on April 14, 1886 in West Newton, Massachusetts. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard in 1915. On August 30, 1915, Dr. Tolman married Kathleen Drew, who was a native of Shanghai, China, and graduated from Radcliffe College in 1907. In the fall the two of them moved to Evanston, Illinois, where for three years he taught at Northwestern University. In 1918 they came to Berkeley, where he became a professor at the University of California. Tolman would teach psychology at Berkeley until his retirement in 1954. The Tolmans first lived in the Berkeley Hills close to the campus at 1609 Le Roy Avenue. In 1920, Tolman built a single-family, detached house in the Mediterranean Revival style nearby at 1530 La Loma Avenue. Both houses sur- vived the 1923 Berkeley Fire. Tolman had an aversion to laboratory rats at first, but became fond of them through his experiments with them. He demonstrated that rats would find shortcuts in a maze to reach a food reward, suggesting they weren’t just using motor memory. Tolman argued that the rats had a mental representation or “cognitive map,” which they used to locate the food reward. Tolman discovered that based on their starting point, rats would adjust their behavior. This was the first demonstration of cognitive maps in animals. Tolman’s work sparked a domain within the field of animal behavior that is still alive and debated to this day. Its broader implications led away from behavioral psychology and toward the field of cognitive science. During and after World War II, Tolman became concerned about the psychology of hatred and war. In a 1947 address at UC he said, “Over and over, men are blinded by too violent motivations and too intense frustrations into blind and unintelligent and, in the end, desperately dangerous hates of outsiders. And the expression of these displaced hates ranges all the way from discrimination against minorities to world conflagrations.” In 1949, under the influence of McCarthyism, UC President Sproul and the Board of Regents mandated all UC staff and faculty sign a loyalty oath stating that they were not members of the Communist Party. Professor Tolman led the organized faction of faculty who refused to sign the oath. Despite the fact that he was a tenured professor, Tolman was ultimately fired in 1950 for his stance, along with 30 other faculty members. Tolman argued his objection to signing the oath was not necessarily due to any allegiance with the Communist Party. For him, it was a matter of principle because the loyalty oath represented a threat to academic freedom and free speech. Tolman and others sued the Regents of the University. In 1952, the State Supreme Court ruled in Tolman v. Underhill that the non-signers were to be re-instated to their positions because the state legis- lature, by previously enacting regulations in this area, left no room for supplementary regulation by the Regents.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT In the mid-nineteenth century a compulsory education system was emerging that allowed all children to attend public schools in northern states. This dissertation investigates school attendance rates among African American children in New York State from 1850–1870 by examining household patterns and educational access for African American school-age children in three communities: Sandy Ground, Syracuse, and Watertown. These communities were selected because of their involvement in the Underground Railroad. I employed a combination of educational and social history methods, qualitative and quantitative. An analysis of federal census reports, state superintendent reports, city directories, area maps, and property records for the years 1820–1870 yielded comparative data on households, African American and European American, in which African American school-age children resided. The nature of schooling and the manner in which the household and community advocated for school attendance during this period are also described and compared.

  • Treadway: Researcher to Give Talk at Rosie the Riveter
    February 16, 2016 Treadway: Researcher to give talk at Rosie the Riveter By Chris [email protected] POSTED: 02/16/2016 10:43:58 AM PST0 COMMENTS| UPDATED: A DAY AGO An author who conducted research with black female migrants who worked in the Kaiser Shipyards in Rich- mond during World War II will discuss her work at a free program at 11 a.m. Feb. 20 at the Rosie the Riveter Visitor Education Center, 1414 Harbour Way South in Richmond. Marta Effinger-Crichlow, chair and associate professor in the African American Studies Department at New York City College of Technology-CUNY, is the author of “Staging Migrations toward an American West, from Ida B. Wells to Rhodessa Jones.” Effinger-Crichlow “is an interdisciplinary scholar and artist drawn to stories about black women and girls as well as migration and place,” notes the event announcement. Her talk will include an overview of her book, “which examines how black women’s theatrical and everyday performances of migration expose the complexities of their struggles for sociopolitical emancipation. While mi- gration is often viewed as merely a physical process, Effinger-Crichlow expands the concept to include a series of symbolic internal journeys within confined and unconfined spaces.” Space for the talk is limited and reservations are required. To reserve a seat call 510-232-5050 x0 and leave a message with your name and phone number, and specify the date of the program you would like to attend.

  • Plowshares Coffee House
    PLOWSHARES COFFEE HOUSE: PEOPLE, MUSIC AND COMMUNITY A University Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, East Bay In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies By Susan Burnice Fuller Wageman March 2017 Copyright © 2017 by Susan Burnice Fuller Wageman ii ABSTRACT The Plowshares Coffee House Concert series ran for twenty years—presenting 686 concerts and dances between 1977 and 1998. Many of the performers, audience members, volunteers and other supporters of this effort continue to be involved with music and with each other—effectively forming complex interwoven networks of people and communities that connect Plowshares with other music communities in the past and the present. This thesis focuses, in particular, on Plowshares as a place of music making that built and nurtured community and contributes to an expanding literature about places of music making that build community and function as community centers. Ideally, this research will provide a foundation for deeper investigation of music communities in the future. Approaching the research from the perspectives of music, history, and anthropology (folkloristics and ethnography), the data collection and analysis employed an emic, or insider, perspective. Informal ethnographic interviews, oral history interviews, and an online survey provided first-hand information on how different people experienced Plowshares. Ongoing participation in contemporary music communities helped reveal additional information and insights about Plowshares, its operation, and its influences. The San Francisco Folk Music Club's newsletter, the folknik, provided information on the concert schedules, vision, development, and challenges of Plowshares. The San Francisco Folk Music Center's organizational papers—particularly the meeting minutes—provided detail on how the organization operated.

    McClatchy DC Bureau Will wine country disaster push Congress to fix fire budget? By Emily Cadei [email protected] October 12, 2017 3:01 AM Washington It’s a rare point of bipartisan agreement in divided Washington: The federal system for funding firefighting is broken, and that’s hurting our ability to prevent fires from breaking out in the first place. But lawmakers are at a loggerheads over how to fix the problem, a split that breaks down on largely regional, rather than partisan, grounds. Some in the House and Senate, however, now hope that national coverage of Northern California’s devastating fires could finally spur a congressional compromise, a bit of a silver lining emerging out of all the destruction. At the root of the problem is the fact that forest fires are not treated like other natural disasters. While the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) can tap emergency funds for hurricane or tornado response, the U.S. Forest Service has to raid its other program budgets – including fire prevention – if it runs out of firefighting funds. That’s become increasingly common in recent years, as fires have grown more intense and destructive. Sen. Jim Risch, R-Idaho notes that the Forest Service spent over half of its budget last year on firefighting, compared to 16 percent in 1995. In effect, the Forest Service has been transformed from a “management agency to a firefighting agency,” Risch says. “It’s not meant to be that way.” In September, the federal government announced its firefighting costs have already surpassed $2 billion, well over the $1.7 billion in the Forest Services’ budget.

    The Power of Books to Revolutionize Hearts and Minds Conversations on Activism and Current Events at the Bay Area Book Festival Saturday, April 28 10:00 - 11:15 Resisting Hate with Free Speech Nadine Strossen interviewed by Erwin Chemerinsky The question of limits on free speech has recently occupied our nation's consciousness—as well as the physical streets of Berkeley. The American Civil Liberties Union has worked for nearly 100 years to arbitrate this question in times of intense political division, and now Nadine Strossen, former president of the ACLU, joins us to to present her carefully crafted new book "HATE: Why We Should Resist it With Free Speech, Not Censorship"—released for the first time at the Festival here in Berkeley, home of the Free Speech Movement. The book has been called "clear in a time of confusion, consistent in an era of hypocrisy, and brave in an environment of intimidation." Strossen will be interviewed by UC Berkeley School of Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky. 11:45 - 1:00 The Art of Memoir: A Story That Must Be Heard Francisco Cantu, Julie Lythcott-Haims, Elizabeth Rosner, moderated by Marie Mockett Memoir writers have the especially challenging task of confronting their own past and creating themselves as a character. The subject must be core to the writer’s own identity and moral agenda to drive this kind of ruthless introspection and risk. In a haunting memoir, Francisco Cantu tells of his difficult stint as a U.S. Border Guard, the reasons he walked away, his attempts to use what he learned to help an apprehended friend, and the controversy over his story.

    58303X4 10/5/07 12:46 PM Page 28 A LEGEND ON THE HOME FRONT A talk with Emily Yellin,ROSIE author of Our Mothers’ War, with home front vets Betty Reid Soskin and Rosalie Pinto Moderated by Lucy Lawliss, Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park “Sometimes the din will seem to swell and engulf you like a treacherous wave,” says welder Augusta Clawson—quoted in Emily Yellin’s Our Mothers’ War—about working down in the hold of a ship. “It makes you want to scream wildly. And then it struck me funny to realize that a scream even couldn’t be heard. So I screamed, loud and lustily, and couldn’t even hear myself.” Clawson captures just one of the experiences thrust upon women on the “home front,” a place in time not seen since. Here, Yellin joins a roundtable moderated by Lucy Lawliss of Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park in talking with two who were there. Rosalie Pinto, a tack welder on PT boats at the Philadelphia Navy Yard—the nation’s first, founded in 1799—had to move to another job when her eye caught a spark from a welding rod. Still, she “loved it” and would go back today, she told Robert Stewart, author of a yard history for the Historic American Engineering Record. Betty Reid Soskin, an African American and now ranger at the Rosie site, had a different experience in the San Francisco Bay area—as a clerk for the segregated boilermakers’ union, which served the Kaiser shipyards, the nation’s newest and largest.
