Many hours of formal and informal learning have paid off as I have opened my eyes to other perspectives and approaches.” Mariely López-Santana, Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, George Mason University, Washington DC, USA, Max Weber Fellow 2006-2007 “My first year at the EUI has been positive: for the first time I had an office, some funds for traveling, I could use photocopiers and printers, electronic databases without either struggling for a desk or with nine-to-five office hours… and in what a wonderful environment! The EUI Library had everything I had desired for ages, open shelves, journals and books in both the history of Central and Eastern Europe and economic history.” Valentina Fava, Department of History and Civilization, EUI, Max Weber Fellow 2006-2008 “The first year of my Max Weber fellowship has proved very fruitful for my research. I enjoyed all the opportunities to discuss my research ideas with my peers at the Max Weber Programme in the magnificent setting of Villa La Fonte and to hear valuable, and sometimes critical, comments from members of the Law Department.” Roman Petrov, Law Department, EUI, Max Weber Fellow 2006-2008 “The EUI has allowed me to enlarge my aims and gain a wider vision of the world. …This year has been a fantastic, intense and very happy, but also exhausting experience. The pressure to publish and to find work for next year has been intense. Nevertheless, I will never forget the Italian and English classes and the lunches and coffees with friends in the wonderful gardens of Villa La Fonte and Villa Schifanoia.” José María Aguilera Manzano, Assistant Professor, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Annual Report 2006-2007 Científicas (CSIC), Spain, Max Weber Fellow 2006-2007 Max Weber Programme “I was delighted and excited to be able to spend one year at the European University European University Institute Institute. I heard only the best about this leading research institution, its unique Villa La Fonte, Via delle Fontanelle 10 community of professors, fellows and researchers and its perfect location that provides the 50014 San Domenico di Fiesole, Italy ideal environment for research. … I am sure the knowledge and experience I have gained www.eui.eu/MaxWeberProgramme at the EUI this year will be with me for a lifetime, be that in my choice of research topics, Email: [email protected] my ability to impart better instruction in the classroom or simply in my understanding Tel: +39 055 4685 822 and appreciation of different people, approaches and ways of thinking.” fax: +39 055 4685 804 Maria Heracleous, Assistant Professor Department of Economics, American University, Washington, Max Weber Fellow 2006-2007 © 2007 European University Institute Citations from EUI Review, Summer 2007 The European Commission supports the EUI through the European Union budget.

MAX WEBER PROGRAmmE, ANNUAL REPORT 2006-2007 Max Weber Programme 2006-2007 Foreword One year of postdoc is usually one year in transition. A Max Weber Fellowship is also, in a sense, a transition. For the fellows who were looking for a job, a transition to the positions they now hold; the Max Weber Programme proved valuable, to most of them, in its support of their job search. For the fellows who took a year off from their home institution, a transition in their own academic career; the experience of the Max Weber Fellowship seemed more – they say – than just a parenthesis. For the few fellows who had the option of an extended transition, we are very pleased that all of those who completed their first year, have gone on into their second year. But, as transition goes, the Max Weber Fellowship differs from most – if not all – postdoctoral programmes in the Social Sciences and Humanities. To start with, it is the collective transition of forty fellows. Through the programme activities, the time spent together at Villa La Fonte, more than once in heated discussions, fellows have got to know the different realities of other fields, countries and cultures; they have also got to know how similar problems and anxieties are at the start of an academic career. Furthermore, with the support of their mentors and their involvement in EUI departmental activities, fellows have also developed their own research agendas in a stimulating environment. In fact, the same aim of the Max Weber Programme is to mark a transition in postdoctoral fel- lowships in the social sciences and humanities, areas where the postdoctoral level is becoming a step in an academic career (it has already been so for some time in the natural sciences). A transition from a format where the almost exclusive attraction of a postdoc was to gain time and a space to work – often in isolation – while ‘waiting for a proper job,’ to a format where a postdoc is conceived as a fruitful professional step in developing excellence in research and academic practice. For such a model, one that emphasizes the specific value of a postdoc and, not just its transitional character, some basic elements seem to be necessary: a minimally struc- tured programme, a stimulating academic environment, and a critical number of fellows. The first year of the Max Weber Programme has been, in turn, a learning transition. We have set the above basic elements in place and in motion. We have developed additional initiatives that can help the academic community at large, such as the MWP Academic Careers Observa- tory (MWP–ACO). We have faced the challenges that were foreseen from the beginning; in particular, ‘to efficiently combine research and other programme activities’ and ‘to properly exploit its intellectual and international diversity’ (see EUI Review, Autumn 2006, p.6). And, as with any learning experience, we have had successes and error trials with our new design. And, not just from the lessons we can derive from the first year, but mostly from the experience of the Max Weber Fellows with the programme, I think it has been a good first harvest! Personal appreciations apart, the best way to judge a programme is by its results, in the short and in the long run. Regarding short-term results, this First Year Report provides information on some of the activities that have taken place, as well as on some of the work done by the forty Max Weber Fellows during the year. Regarding long-term results, only in the future will fellows be able to tell how valuable their MWP experience turns out to be, only the further develop- ment and international reputation of the MWP will be able to assess how valuable it was to produce a first crop. Many have contributed to such positive experience and deserve to be acknowledged: the Eu- ropean Commission DG Education and Culture, for its funding and continuous support, and participation in the Inaugural Max Weber Lecture; the EUI for hosting the programme and, in particular, Yves Meny and Andreas Frijdal for making it possible and Eija Heikinnen and the Academic Service team with whom I started working even before the programme was in place; most obviously, a main share of the credit goes to the enthusiastic and dedicated small staff of the MWP: Ruediger von Krosigk as Programme Coordinator in its first year and Susan Garvin as Administrative Assistant, as well as the staff of Villa La Fonte, Pandelis Nastos, and of Computing Services, Vito Caresimo, and the Academic Assistants who have helped in setting the Academic Careers Observatory, Lotte Holm and Arnout Mertens, and in other programme 1 MAX WEBER PROGRAmmE, ANNUAL REPORT 2006-2007 activities, Chiara De Franco. But the programme would not have been possible without the col- laboration of the many people who have lectured, participated in conferences and given it their support and suggestions. I would like to thank all of them, but the list is too long to be included here, yet special thanks should be extended to Nicky Owtram and Nicky Hargreaves, from the EUI Language Centre, not only for their MWP Academic Writing Workshops, but also for helping to set up an excellent team of English correctors and an international network of professional scholars (from LSE, University of London Institute of Education, Humboldt Uni- versity, College d’Europe, and other institutions) who are helping us to develop the programme as a pilot international experience in enhancing Academic Practice and Communication. I also want to thank the members of the Max Weber Programme Steering Committee, for their work, as well as the EUI faculty who, as mentors, have provided support to the fellows. Last, but not least, my gratitude goes to the first cohort of Max Weber Fellows…the ‘raison d’être’ of the Max Weber Programme. Professor Ramon Marimon Director of the Max Weber Programme November 2007 A new type of Postdoctoral Programme The Max Weber Programme, which started in September 2006 at the European University In- stitute, represents a new model of a structured postdoctoral programme in the social sciences. Integrating research and academic practice activities, it is oriented to reflect on, and develop, international standards of excellence in Academic Practice, with a special focus on Academic Communication: writing, presenting and teaching.

  • Portraits of People from Around the World Who Love Baseball. the Strength of Any Sport Can Be Measured by the Passion of Its Athletes and Fans
    PASSION. Portraits of people from around the world who love baseball. The strength of any sport can be measured by the passion of its athletes and fans. In this, no sport surpasses baseball. The intensity of the game is mirrored in those who follow it, as is the explosive joy of a home run and the drama of a key strikeout. Just as the Olympic Games are not just a sporting event but an experience, so is baseball. Around the world, the reactions are the same and the emotions strongly felt. Young and old, rich and poor, male and female – in Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, Australia and the Pacifi c Rim, people who love baseball wear their hearts on their sleeves. They have an emotional connection to the game whether it’s played in a stadium or on a sandy lot, by professionals or children or players with disabilities. It’s the passion and pride every athlete and fan feels when they say, “I am baseball.”™ And it’s the passion and pride baseball will always bring to the Olympic Games. “It begins with two kids, three kids, a group of kids – and a ball. Add a stick – call it a bat – and you have baseball.” Bernard Malamud Courtesy: National Geographic MEXICO UNITED STATES An explosive pitcher, Jesus threw a perfect game in the 2008 Alex began playing baseball at the age of two.

  • 2010 Remarkable Women: Athletes
    REMARKABLE WOMEN Honouring Women From Our Vancouver Communities Photo courtesy City of Vancouver Archives, CVA 371-1643 Barbara Howard Barbara Howard grew up in Vancouver’s Grandview neighbourhood during the 1920s when the area was still country- side. While participating in school sports days, Barbara discovered she had a talent for running and quickly became a favourite for relay teams. In Grade 8 at Laura Secord School, she won her school’s senior championship. She attended Britannia High School where the track coach, Mr. Edwards, took her under his wing. Track time trials for the 1938 British Empire Games, to be held in February in Sydney, Australia, took place in Vancouver in October of 1937. Barbara did very well at the western time trials, outrunning some stiff competition and equaling the Empire Games record of 11.2 seconds for the 100 yard sprint. Her performance earned her a spot on the Canadian track team and the community gave her a big send-off with many gifts and lots of good wishes. She was just 17 and still in Grade 11. Just before Christmas, she set sail for an incredible adventure and the 28-day journey from Vancouver to Sydney. She became the first black woman athlete to represent Canada in international competition. Barbara ran well at the Games, coming in sixth in the 100-yard final against some very formidable opponents. She was a member of the relay team that won silver in the 440 yard relay and bronze in the 660-yard relay. Upon her return to Vancouver, Barbara went on to become a UBC graduate and the first person from a visible minority to be hired as a teacher by the Vancouver School Board.

  • Nasty Women Transgressive Womanhood in American History
    Nasty Women Transgressive Womanhood in American History Edited by Marian Mollin With the Students of HIST 4914 - Spring 2020 The saying goes that well-behaved women rarely make history. For centuries, American women have been carving out spaces of their own in a male-dominated world. From politics, to entertainment, to their personal lives, women have been making their mark on the American landscape since the nation’s inception, often ignored or overlooked by those creating the record. This collection takes the long view of the American woman and examines her transgressive behavior through the decades. Including stories of women enslaved, early celebrities, engineers, and more, these essays demonstrate how there is no such thing as an “average” woman, as even those ordinary women are found doing extraordinary things. This collection comes at a particularly poignant time, as August 2020 marked the 100th anniversary of the ratification and adoption of the 19th amendment, which – in a landmark for women’s right – granted American women the right to vote. Virginia Tech Department of History in association with ISBN 9781949373516 90000 > 9 781949 373516 Nasty Women Nasty Women: Transgressive Womanhood in American History is part of the Virginia Tech Student Publications series. This series contains book-length works authored and edited by Virginia Tech undergraduate and graduate students and published in collaboration with Virginia Tech Publishing. Often these books are the culmination of class projects for advanced or capstone courses. The series provides the opportunity for students to write, edit, and ultimately publish their own books for the world to learn from and enjoy.

  • A Second Strike Baseball and the Canadian Armed Forces During World War Two
    A Second Strike Baseball and the Canadian Armed Forces during World War Two During the First World War, baseball was Canada’s national game. Baseball was officially sanctioned as part of the Dominion war effort. The Canadian government believed that baseball built better soldiers and that no other sport was better suited to teach teamwork, sacrifice or individual responsibility. Canadian soldiers so loved the game that they played it on rest, in reserve and within striking distance of German artillery. Military hospitals organized baseball leagues to rejuvenate physical bodies and heal war scarred souls. Some enlisted men spent their time away from the front establishing a Patriotic Tea House in England. The profits from that soldier-run enterprise were spent exclusively on the purchase of baseball equipment. Curious locals, King George V himself and paying crowds in the tens of thousands watched Canada’s soldiers play ball. Baseball’s ability to recall a peaceful homeland comforted men while its expressions gave them a vocabulary with which to express and suppress their experiences at the front. Canadians played other sports during the war, but none so often as baseball.1 The story of Canadian baseball during The Great War is examined in Batted Balls and Bayonets available through the Centre for Canadian Baseball Research2 or via http://baseballresearch.ca/wp- content/uploads/2018/03/Dame17.pdf By the time Canadian soldiers arrived overseas to fight a second world war, baseball’s relationship with the average fighting-age Canadian was significantly different. The National Hockey League was organized seven months after the battle of Vimy Ridge.

  • Women in Baseball Is a Crucial One to Understand Because It Parallels the Rise and Fall of the Women’S Liberation Movement Throughout the History of the United States
    TOMBERG RARE BOOKS PIONEERS IN THE HISTORY OF WOMEN’S BASEBALL PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE AND EPHEMERA; with a focus on the Racine Belles of the All American Girls Baseball League OVERVIEW The history of women in baseball is a crucial one to understand because it parallels the rise and fall of the women’s liberation movement throughout the history of the United States. Women’s participation in baseball is a result of social, political and economic factors that provided women the opportunity to step outside traditional roles and to participate in baseball. WORK URL 2 SCOPE AND CONTENT The Pioneers in the History of Women’s Baseball Collection dates from the early mid 1800s to the 1970s, and includes photographs, press photos, team photographs, game programs, scorecards, tickets, postcards, schedules, posters, newspaper articles, magazines, and a note, all highlighting the many women and teams that were an integral part of the history of women’s baseball. The ephemeral nature of the primary sources of the collection are rare and quite scarce due to the quasi- neglect in which women’s baseball was held by commercial and media channels. 3 PIONEERS IN THE HISTORY OF WOMEN’S BASEBALL: PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE & EPHEMERA; with a focus on the Racine Belles of the All-American Girls Baseball League $8,500 DETAILS 14 black and white photos of pioneering women in early baseball.
