Fans of Boston teams, specifically the Boston Bruins, are a part of unique fandoms that provide a sense of community, allegiance, and supporting what many fans refer to as “our team”. This study examines how the Boston Bruins organization acts as an agent in the negotiation of identity as fans search for belonging as well as the constructed culture pattern of fans.

  • Race, Party, and African American Politics, in Boston, Massachusetts, 1864-1903
    Not as Supplicants, but as Citizens: Race, Party, and African American Politics, in Boston, Massachusetts, 1864-1903 by Millington William Bergeson-Lockwood A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Martha S. Jones, Chair Professor Kevin K. Gaines Professor William J. Novak Professor Emeritus J. Mills Thornton III Associate Professor Matthew J. Countryman Copyright Millington William Bergeson-Lockwood 2011 Acknowledgements Writing a dissertation is sometimes a frustratingly solitary experience, and this dissertation would never have been completed without the assistance and support of many mentors, colleagues, and friends. Central to this project has been the support, encouragement, and critical review by my dissertation committee. This project is all the more rich because of their encouragement and feedback; any errors are entirely my own. J. Mills Thornton was one of the first professors I worked with when I began graduate school and he continues to make important contributions to my intellectual growth. His expertise in political history and his critical eye for detail have challenged me to be a better writer and historian. Kevin Gaines‘s support and encouragement during this project, coupled with his insights about African American politics, have been of great benefit. His push for me to think critically about the goals and outcomes of black political activism continues to shape my thinking. Matthew Countryman‘s work on African American politics in northern cities was an inspiration for this project and provided me with a significant lens through which to reexamine nineteenth-century black life and politics.

  • Street Gang Membership in Boston: a Life-Course Perspective
    STREET GANG MEMBERSHIP IN BOSTON: A LIFE COURSE PERPSECTIVE A dissertation presented By Paul F. Joyce Jr. to The School of Criminology and Criminal Justice In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the field of Criminology and Justice Policy Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts July 2017 1 STREET GANG MEMBERSHIP IN BOSTON: A LIFE COURSE PERPSECTIVE A dissertation presented By Paul F. Joyce Jr. ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Criminology and Justice Policy in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University July 2017 2 Abstract Historically, the study of gangs and gang membership has focused on the onset and continuity of adolescent gang membership. Overall, little research has been dedicated to studying the gang member’s adult years, and the implications of gang membership over the life course. To fill this gap in knowledge, the current study integrates an examination of gangs and gang membership with the life course perspective by exploring the life experiences of 28 former gang members and two neighborhood street criminals from the late 1980’s and early 1990’s in Boston. Key to this research was an examination of the experiences of gang membership in Boston, the transitions and turning points that caused this group of serious and violent offenders to either persist in or desist from deviant and criminal behavior, and the long-term effects of gang membership. The data collection process included in-depth, one-on-one interviews, the use of life history calendars to chronicle major life events, and criminal history records.

  • Boston Public Schools Superintendent of Schools Desired Characteristics
    BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS Boston, MA LEADERSHIP PROFILE REPORT Data collected at sessions held on March 11, 19, 20, 24, 25, 27, 31 and April 1, 2, 3 and 10, 2014 Presented: April 16, 2014 Introduction This report presents the findings of the Leadership Profile Assessment conducted by Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates (HYA) for a new superintendent for the Boston Public Schools (BPS). The data contained in this Report were obtained from over 1000 respondents1 who participated in individual interviews, focus groups held with key stakeholders, an open community forum, an online survey, and a series of public hearings that were scheduled by the Mayor and Superintendent Selection Committee prior to obtaining the services of HYA. A total of seven Public Hearings were held from March 11 – 31, 2014, six of which occurred following the appointment of HYA and, therefore, were facilitated by an HYA consultant. Date, time, location, and attendance related to each of the Public Hearings are presented in Table 1. Approximately 600 individuals participated in the individual interviews, focus groups, and the open forum with the consultants, including six members of the School Committee2 who were individually interviewed. The interviews, focus groups, open forum, public hearings, and survey were structured by HYA, the Superintendent Search Committee and the Mayor’s Office to gather input to assist the Superintendent Selection Committee in clarifying the current strengths of the District and the major challenges a new superintendent will need to address, as well as determining the primary characteristics desired in the new superintendent. In several instances, participants provided the consultants with written statements to document their comments.
