    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

O Roosevelt had announced to a party of 18 persons assembled at luncheon in the White House a long-cherished plan to present to the United States his already vast accumulation of correspond- ence and other papers, documents, books, pamphlets, pictures, and objects of personal or historic interest. He proposed to place these collections in a building which should be erected at private cost, on a plot of land donated to the United States from the estate then owned by his mother, on the Albany Post Road about 5 miles north of Poughkeepsie, N. Y. At the same time he announced his expec- tation that the rest of the hundred acres or more between the Post Road and the Hudson River, on which the family residence was situated, would, as he expressed it, "eventually go to the Federal Government to be maintained for the benefit of the public." Both the intention and the expectation have been realized. The luncheon guests included, in addition to Judge Samuel I. Rosenman and Mr. Frank C. Walker, university presidents Ed- 1 This paper is based upon materials in the author's file, kept as chairman of the Executive Committee, which will be transferred to the National Archives in due time, and in a special file in the office of the Archivist of the United States.

    RETHINKING MODERN GERMAN HISTORY: CRITICAL SOCIAL HISTORY AS A TRANSATLANTIC ENTERPRISE, 1945-1989 Philipp Stelzel A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of the Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Adviser: Dr. Konrad H. Jarausch Reader: Dr. Dirk Bönker Reader: Dr. Christopher Browning Reader: Dr. Karen Hagemann Reader: Dr. Donald Reid © 2010 Philipp Stelzel ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT PHILIPP STELZEL: Rethinking Modern German History: Critical Social History as a Transatlantic Enterprise, 1945-1989 (under the direction of Konrad H. Jarausch) My dissertation “Rethinking Modern German History: Critical Social History as a Transatlantic Enterprise, 1945-1989” analyzes the intellectual exchange between German and American historians from the end of World War II to the 1980s. Several factors fostered the development of this scholarly community: growing American interest in Germany (a result of both National Socialism and the Cold War); a small but increasingly influential cohort of émigré historians researching and teaching in the United States; and the appeal of American academia to West German historians of different generations, but primarily to those born between 1930 and 1940. Within this transatlantic intellectual community, I am particularly concerned with a group of West German social historians known as the “Bielefeld School” who proposed to re-conceptualize history as Historical Social Science (Historische Sozialwissenschaft). Adherents of Historical Social Science in the 1960s and early 1970s also strove for a critical analysis of the roots of National Socialism. Their challenge of the West German historical profession was therefore both interpretive and methodological.

Guy Stanton Ford saw the university through a time of trial and challenge, when the country was being drawn into a second world war, never losing either the historian's broad view of human ex­ perience or the civilized man's deep insight into principle. Ford's service to the university already had been long and expert. In 1913 when he came to Minnesota as dean of the Graduate School he had had to deal with only 175 students. A decade and a half later the total number of individuals enrolled in its programs during the calen­ dar year had risen to 2164. In 1938 when Ford ended his deanship to become president the comparable enrollment figure was 3299. In a re­ cent year the total number of individuals registered in the Graduate School for fall, winter, spring, and two summer sessions reached 5676. During Ford's time the university itself had grown tremendously but while its figures increased five times over, those of the Graduate School were multiplied by thirty. So startling a change in outlook must be accounted for by a change in administrative policy.

    At the Crossroads of Empire: The United States, the Middle East, and the Politics of Knowledge, 1902-2002 By Osamah Feisal Khalil A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Beshara Doumani, Chair Professor Salim Yaqub Professor Daniel Sargent Professor Laura Nader Fall 2011 At the Crossroads of Empire: The United States, the Middle East, and the Politics of Knowledge, 1902-2002 © Copyright 2011 Osamah Feisal Khalil All Rights Reserved Abstract At the Crossroads of Empire: The United States, the Middle East, and the Politics of Knowledge, 1902-2002 by Osamah Feisal Khalil Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Beshara Doumani, Chair This dissertation examines how U.S. foreign policy shaped the origins and expansion of Middle East studies and expertise. For over sixty years the United States has considered the area called the “Middle East” to be vital to its national security interests, and governmental and academic institutions have been essential pillars in support of this policy. America‟s involvement in the Middle East has matched its rise as a global superpower and I argue that U.S. foreign policy significantly influenced the production and professionalization of knowledge about the region. I demonstrate that passage of the National Defense Education Act (NDEA) of 1958 ultimately led to the growth and diversification of the field. Moreover, my dissertation contends that an unintended consequence of this expansion was strained relations between academia and the government, which contributed to and was compounded by decreased federal funding for area studies.

  • Eric Foner President American Historical Association 2000
    Eric Foner President American Historical Association 2000 Eric Foner Eric foner, as one of his many admirers writes, is “one of nature’s com municators, a man whose vigorous prose style is matched by an engaging and voluble presence.” This apt description best captures the qualities that nuke him a premier raconteur of the American experience: his intellectual vigor, passion for history, tremendous literary and oratorical talents, and infectious energy. His versatility as a scholar and his driving commitment to create a truly inclusive and complex version of American history have given him an enviable and unique stature in academia and public life. A historian whose many publications reflect different ways of writing history and who has received nearly every distinction that his profession has to offer, he is, to paraphrase a hoary old saying, the master of all historical arts and jack of none. Born in 1943 to a family whose reputation for scholarship and activism is legendary, Eric foner imbibed the lessons of intellectual duty and social purpose at an early age. His father and uncle, Jack and Philip foner, were pioneers in labor and African American history and his other uncles and brother participated in the labor and civil rights movements. His mother, a high school art teacher, confronted Eric’s primary school principal about an illustration in his third-grade history text that showed happy slaves. Brought up in a family where intellectual and political issues were the stuff of everyday conversations, he absorbed his parents’ devotion to racial jus tice and to a broader, inclusive view of American history.
