    Interview with Louise Lamphere Interviewer: Amy Goldstein Date: May 30, 2014 Location: Washington, D.C. Transcribed by Leigh Thomas and Bennett Knox *Notes in brackets were added by Louise Lamphere after the interview* Amy Goldstein: So, I’m going to ask you just to start by identifying yourself. Louise Lamphere: I’m Louise Lamphere. I’m a retired Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at the University of New Mexico. And I currently live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, split my time between that and New York City. Goldstein: And you had a role at Brown? Lamphere: Oh yes. And I was at Brown. I started teaching there in 1968. Left because I didn’t get tenure in 1975. And returned after my lawsuit in ‘79. Stayed until 1985. I had a year’s leave then [1985-86] but didn’t resign until ‘86. Goldstein: Okay, so now that we’ve done the synopsis, we’re going to take the slow story [laughs]. Lamphere: Okay [laughs]. Goldstein: So I’m wondering if you can start by just talking a little bit about the kind of environment you grew up in. Was there any activism in your home when you were a kid? Lamphere: Well, I come from a staunch Republican family in the state of Colorado. I grew up in Denver, Colorado. My mother’s family—her, both of her parents were German-American in sort of heritage. And my grandmother was born in Golden in 1885; she was part of the German community there, the same community that Coors came from. And my grandfather was born in Leavenworth, Kansas, but came to Colorado when he was five.

    440 Project Apollo: Americans to the Moon Document II-1 Document Title: NASA, “ Minutes of Meeting of Research Steering Committee on Manned Space Flight,” 25–26 May 1959. Source: Folder 18675, NASA Historical Reference Collection, History Division, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC. Within less than a year after its creation, NASA began looking at follow-on programs to Project Mercury, the initial human spacefl ight effort. A Research Steering Committee on Manned Space Flight was created in spring 1959; it consisted of top-level representatives of all of the NASA fi eld centers and NASA Headquarters. Harry J. Goett from Ames, but soon to be head of the newly created Goddard Space Flight Center, was named chair of the committee. The fi rst meeting of the committee took place on 25 and 26 May 1959, in Washington. Those in attendance provided an overview of research and thinking related to human spacefl ight at various NASA centers, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and the High Speed Flight Station (HSFS) at Edwards Air Force Base. George Low, then in charge of human spacefl ight at NASA Headquarters, argued for making a lunar landing NASA’s long-term goal. He was backed up by engineer and designer Maxime Faget of the Space Task Group of the Langley Research Center and Bruce Lundin of the Lewis Research Center. After further discussion at its June meeting, the Committee agreed on the lunar landing objective, and by the end of the year a lunar landing was incorporated into NASA’s 10-year plan as the long-range objective of the agency’s human spacefl ight program.

Brown provided an unusually congenial and stimulating environment for my teaching and research. I never regretted our decision in 1958 to accept an Assistant Professorship in the Mathematics Department, nor did I ever pursue seriously opportunities to move from Brown to another university in the years afterward. For convenience, these remembrances of my first 20 years at Brown are divided into several parts. Part I concerns the years from 1958-68 and Part II from 1968-1978. Part III concerns my research contributions during those 20 years. A brief Afterword mentions my later years at Brown and the years of retirement.

  • Presentation of Dr. Donald Hornig October 24, 2005 University of Colorado-Boulder
    PRESENTATION OF DR. DONALD HORNIG OCTOBER 24, 2005 UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO-BOULDER DR. MITCHAM: Good evening. It is my pleasure this evening, to welcome you to the sixth in a series of speakers on Policy, Politics and Science in the White House. In the process, I also want to thank Roger Pielke, Rad Byerly and others, for all the work that they have done in organizing this extremely informative, year-long symposium on science advice to the President. For anyone interested in science policy, whether scientist, engineer, social scientist or humanist, it is crucial in our high-science, high-tech society, to reflect on the policy foundations and utilizations of science. Our speaker this evening, Dr. Hornig himself, wrote in an 1978 examination of the health of the scientific and technical enterprise, and I quote: "The most distinctive feature of a 20th Century developed society is the complete integration of science and technology into its basic way of thinking." "Because of this," he added, "it is appropriate for Congress, the administration, the scientific and technical community and the public to ask, periodically, how are we doing?" That is, are we thinking and acting in the right ways for and with science and technology? And we are grateful this evening, that Dr. Hornig is able to share with us his perspective on precisely such questions and, thus, to increase our intelligence in policy research and democratic assessment of the scientific and technological world we are collectively in the process of creating. It is because we are all, scientists and non- scientists alike, creating a world through and with science and technology, that science policy is increasingly important for all of us.

  • What Role for Scientists?
    Sustainable Humanity, Sustainable Nature: Our Responsibility Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Extra Series 41, Vatican City 2014 19 Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, Acta , Vatican City 2014 www.pas.va/content/dam/accademia/pdf/es41/es41-oreskes.pdf What Role for Scientists? NAOMI ORESKES,* DALE JAMIESON,** MICHAEL OPPENHEIMER*** I. Introduction Scientists in the contemporary world have increasingly become “sentinels”,1 alerting the world to matters – such as stratospheric ozone depletion, an- thropogenic climate change, and biodiversity loss – that threaten both human well-being and the continued existence of the diverse life with which we share our planet. Although these threats are not purely matters of natural science – being rich with social, political, economic and moral dimensions – they were first identified by natural scientists, and they cannot be solved without a robust scientific understanding of their causes, character, and extent. Thus, scientists, it might seem, have an obvious role in discussing both the problems and their solutions. Yet most contemporary scientists shy away from becoming involved in articulating solutions, fearing to trespass into territory that seems to belong to others. In some cases, scientists hesitate even to explain the implications of their work in human terms – hesitating, for example, to explain why a 2-degree climate change matters – insofar as that might also lead into non- scientific territory. A major location where this tension expresses itself is in scientific assessments for policy. In an on-going research study of such assessments, we have found that participating scientists believe strongly in the existence and importance of a clear and distinct boundary between “science” and “policy.” In interviews with participants, the question of the relationship between science and policy persistently arises, and is viewed as an extremely important matter.2 * Professor, Department of the History of Science.

Swanson March 14, 2008 • Final Report New South Associates Technical Report No. 1568 ii ABSTRACT ABSTRACT This report is a thematic study of buildings and facilities constructed at Savannah River Site to produce heavy water in the 400/D Area. It was prepared in accordance with a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed by the Department of Energy–Savannah River (DOE-SR) and the South Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) dated February 27, 2003, as well as the Consolidated MOA of August 2004. The MOA stipulated that a thematic study and photographic documentation be produced that told the story of D Area’s genesis, its operational history, and its closure. D Area, also known as the 400 Area, was the site of the Savannah River’s heavy water production facilities constructed as part of the Savannah River Site (SRS) between 1950 and 1955. Heavy water was integral to the Site’s Cold War nuclear production mission as it was used to moderate and cool the five production reactors that operated at Savannah River.

    Minutes of the Brown University Community Council (BUCC) Meeting Tuesday, February 16, 2016 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. Members: President Paxson, Provost Locke, Mary Grace Almandrez, Russell Carey, Cass Cliatt, Beverly Ledbetter, Paula McNamara, Reid Cooper, Jennifer Lambe, Don Operario, Kurt Teichert, Manuel Contreras, Sazzy Gourley, Cameron Johnson, Grace Stokan, Eve Dewan, Sveta Milusheva, Aislinn Rowan, Liz Rubin, Jovian Yu, Fernando Betancourt, Kelly Garrett, Brendan McNally, Linda Welsh, Daniel Harrop, James Gardner, and Emily Maranjian were in attendance. Susan Harvey, Vesna Mitrovic, Anita Shukla, Lily Cohen, Leora Johnson, and Milisa Galazzi were unable to attend. The minutes of the November 24, 2015 meeting were approved. President Paxson reviewed Pathways to Diversity and Inclusion: An Action Plan (DIAP) which was released on February 1. She spoke about the DIAP advancing the mission of the University and promoting excellence in teaching, research, and service. Its concrete, achievable actions are intended to address mistrust and to ensure accountability. The DIAP includes a timeline of student and alumni activism and Brown’s actions on diversity and inclusion dating back to the 1960s. It builds on the diversity integrated in the Building on Distinction strategic plan. President Paxson gave an overview of the recent process followed in completing the DIAP. It began in November with the draft plan being shared with the community for feedback. Over 720 written comments were received through multiple channels and meetings were held for faculty, students, and staff to encourage feedback. The DIAP clarifies how Brown defines its reinforcing goals of diversity and inclusion. The diversity goal focuses on Historically Underrepresentative Groups (HUGS) and women in STEM and Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) in the humanities and social sciences.

WHAT IS ORAL HISTORY? 3 CHAPTER TWO. EQUIPMENT 5 CHAPTER THREE. THE INTERVIEW 8 CHAPTER FOUR. ETHICAL AND LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS 13 CHAPTER FIVE. ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY 18 2 CHAPTER ONE WHAT IS ORAL HISTORY? Indian people tell stories. The storyteller holds an honored place in tribal societies. Our past, our homeland, glorious and brave deeds, and genealogies are all passed from one generation to another through our stories. The modern oral history is not entirely dissimilar to the oral traditions of indigenous societies. However, there are some differences. Good oral history isn't just taping someone talking; it takes conscientious research and careful planning at several levels: in deciding the project focus; in selecting persons to be interviewed; in developing appropriate questions to be asked; and in learning to become a good interviewer. Oral history interviews are distinguished from other types of storytelling and taped interviews in that the purpose is to create a historical record for the future. Ideally, the contents are copyrighted and the rights belong to the speaker (interviewer and interviewee). Oral history interviews are designed to create a record where none previously existed, as well as to bring different perspectives to the existing information found in written histories.
