  • Older Entertainers Making Music in the Community in Melbourne, Australia
    australiaa n societ s y for mumsic education e ‘The show must go on’: i ncorporated older entertainers making music in the community in Melbourne, Australia Dawn Joseph Deakin University Jane Southcott Monash University Abstract Globally countries are faced with an aging population and Australia is no different. This creates challenges for the maintenance of well-being which can be enhanced by active engagement in society. There is extensive research that confirms that engagement in music by older people is positively related to individual and community well- being. Music engagement encompasses a range of social participation and has the potential to recognise the contribution of older people to their local communities. Music participation can contribute to a better quality of life, particularly in relation to health and happiness. There are many possible forms of music engagement. This study is part of an on-going Deakin University and Monash University research project, Well-being and ageing: community, diversity and the arts in Victoria. This article focuses on three members of a mixed voluntary singing group formed by older residents of an outer suburban community in Melbourne, Australia. This group, The Skylarkers, were established in 1999 as a four-part choir. Over the years the nature of the choir has changed under subsequent music directors. Since 2009 the group has focused on music theatre repertoire and performance style. Membership of the group is fluid reflecting changing life circumstances of the members but the ensemble is resilient. This small amateur music theatre group is based in suburban Melbourne, rehearses weekly and performs regularly at retirement villages, nursing homes and facilities for senior citizens.

    A SPECIAL MEETING THE MONT PELERIN SOCIETY JANUARY 15–17, 2020 FROM THE PAST TO THE FUTURE: IDEAS AND ACTIONS FOR A FREE SOCIETY CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR MAKING THE CASE FOR LIBERTY RUSSELL ROBERTS HOOVER INSTITUTION • STANFORD UNIVERSITY 1 1 MAKING THE CASE FOR LIBERTY Prepared for the January 2020 Mont Pelerin Society Meeting Hoover Institution, Stanford University Russ Roberts John and Jean De Nault Research Fellow Hoover Institution Stanford University [email protected] 1 2 According to many economists and pundits, we are living under the dominion of Milton Friedman’s free market, neoliberal worldview. Such is the claim of the recent book, The Economists’ Hour by Binyamin Applebaum. He blames the policy prescriptions of free- market economists for slower growth, inequality, and declining life expectancy. The most important figure in this seemingly disastrous intellectual revolution? “Milton Friedman, an elfin libertarian…Friedman offered an appealingly simple answer for the nation’s problems: Government should get out of the way.” A similar judgment is delivered in a recent article in the Boston Review by Suresh Naidu, Dani Rodrik, and Gabriel Zucman: Leading economists such as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman were among the founders of the Mont Pelerin Society, the influential group of intellectuals whose advocacy of markets and hostility to government intervention proved highly effective in reshaping the policy landscape after 1980. Deregulation, financialization, dismantling of the welfare state, deinstitutionalization of labor markets, reduction in corporate and progressive taxation, and the pursuit of hyper-globalization—the culprits behind rising inequalities—all seem to be rooted in conventional economic doctrines.

  • Co-Operative Living at Stanford a Report of SWOPSI 146
    CoopAtStan-28W Weds May 16 7:00 pm Draft Only — Draft Only — Draft Only Co-operative Living at Stanford A Report of SWOPSI 146 May 1990 Preface This report resulted from the hard work of the students of a Stanford Workshops on Political and Social Issues (SWOPSI) class called “Co-operative Living and the Current Crisis at Stanford.” Both instructors and students worked assiduously during Winter quarter 1990 researching and writing the various sections of this report. The success of the class’s actions at Stanford and of this report resulted from blending academics and activism (a fun but time-consuming combination). Contributing to this report were: Paul Baer (instructor) Chris Balz Natalie Beerer Tom Boellstorff Scott Braun Liz Cook Joanna Davidson (instructor) Yelena Ginzburg John Hagan Maggie Harrison Alan Haynie Madeline Larsen (instructor) Dave Nichols Sarah Otto Ethan Pride Eric Rose (instructor) Randy Schutt Eric Schwitzgebel Raquel Stote Jim Welch Michael Wooding Bruce Wooster ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are many people who contributed to this final report and the resolution of the Co-op crisis. Although we would like to mention everyone by name, it might double the length of this entire document. Our everlasting thanks go out to everyone who contributed. Especially Leland Stanford for having his co-operative vision, the SWOPSI Office for carrying it on and providing the opportunity for this class to happen, Henry Levin, our faculty sponsor for his help with the proposal process, Lee Altenberg, whose tremendous knowledge of Stanford co-operative lore is exceeded only by his boundless passion for the co-ops themselves; the Co-op Alumni network, the folks at the Davis, Berkeley, and Cornell co-ops, NASCO, and all of the existing Stanford co-ops for their support during this entire process.

    CLASS OF 2021 GRADUATION STANFORD UNIVERSITY JUNE 12, 2021 SLS2:00 P.M. CLASSSLS OF 2021 GRADUATION TO THE MEMBERS, FRIENDS, AND FAMILIES OF THE CLASS OF 2021: Congratulations to the Class of 2021, which today joins a distinguished group of Stanford Law graduates whose history stretches back to 1893 when the fledgling Stanford University began its program in law. It is my honor to uphold Stanford’s tradition of excellence, which began that year when the university started teaching law and recruited its first law professors. One was Benjamin Harrison, former president of the United States, whom Governor Stanford invited to deliver a landmark series of lectures on the Constitution. The other was Nathan Abbott, who would head the nascent law program. Dean Abbott assembled around him a small faculty, and he imparted a standard of rigor and excellence that endures to this day. In 1895 the university conferred the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Law. The first graduate degree, a Master of Arts in Law, was introduced in 1901 and the equivalent of today’s professional Doctor of Jurisprudence (JD) degree was inaugurated as the Bachelor of Laws (LLB). Stanford Law School has since developed the degrees of Doctor of the Science of Law (JSD), Master of Legal Studies (MLS), Master of the Science of Law (JSM), Master of Laws (LLM), and 29 joint degrees. Following Abbott’s departure in 1907, the deanship was held successively by Frederic Woodward (1908-1916), Charles Huston (1916-1922), and Marion Rice Kirkwood (1922- 1945). During Dean Kirkwood’s tenure, the law school saw the successful introduction of a moot court program, the institution of the Stanford Law Association (forerunner of today’s alumni law societies), and the first directory of Stanford Law alumni.
