  • AMH4930, AF-AM & Latino Hist, Ortiz
    African American and Latina/o Histories AMH 4930.387E (DRAFT COPY) Professor Paul Ortiz University of Florida Fall Semester, 2019 Wednesdays, 1:55 pm to 4:55 pm Keene-Flint 0117 Course Description: In this research seminar we will undertake a comparative study of African American and Latina/o histories, cultures, and politics. Major themes include slavery, colonialism, revolutions, social movements and racial formation in the modern era. Special emphasis will be placed on overlapping as well as distinctive histories and struggles for citizenship and human rights. Course will include analyses of African American and Latina/o oral traditions, film, poetry, drama, memoir, and various forms of expressive cultures. Course Objectives/Student Learning Outcomes: We will explore histories, cultures, and politics of African Americans and Latinx people since the Mexican War of Independence. Students will gain an understanding of the connections between events such as the abolition of slavery in Latin America, the US invasion of Mexico, and the coming of the American Civil War. We will examine the relationship between Reconstruction in the United States and the Ten Years War in Cuba including efforts by African Americans to provide support to the struggle for Cuban independence. We will also study connections between the Spanish American War and the expanding Jim Crow/Juan Crow systems in the US South. In the 20th century, we will examine labor movements of Latina/o and African Americans in the American southwest and southeast including Florida. We will assess the rise of the modern Chicana/Latinx and African American civil rights and human rights movements and the presidency of Barack Obama.

  • “Gringo” How Immigrant and Second Generation Youth Navigate Their Transitions to Adulthood in a Small Town, New Immigrant Destination
    Growing Up “Gringo” How Immigrant and Second Generation Youth Navigate Their Transitions to Adulthood in a Small Town, New Immigrant Destination Alexis Silver 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 Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Sociology. Chapel Hill 2011 Approved by: Jacqueline M. Hagan Ted Mouw Barbara Entwisle Michael J. Shanahan Robert C. Smith ©2011 Alexis Silver ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ALEXIS SILVER: Growing Up “Gringo”: How Immigrant and Second Generation Youth Navigate Their Transitions to Adulthood in a Small Town, New Immigrant Destination (Under the Direction of Jacqueline M. Hagan and Ted Mouw) My dissertation examines incorporation patterns for immigrant and second generation Latina/o youths in a small town, new immigrant destination in the rural South. Previous studies have explored the pathway to adulthood for children of immigrants coming of age in metropolitan areas and traditional migrant destinations, but scholars know little about this process for adolescents in small towns and new migrant destinations. This ethnographic study was conducted between 2007 and 2011 in a small community in central North Carolina where half of the population is Hispanic, and 75 percent of the adult Hispanic population is foreign-born. Between 1990 and 2008, North Carolina saw a 508 percent increase in its population of children of immigrants. Recognizing the importance of this demographic shift, my research engages directly with a North Carolina community that has been transformed by Latina/o immigration. My research examines the influences of immigration status and gender on the incorporation of Latina/o children of immigrants.

  • Spring 2021 HIST 80010 Literature Survey in American History Wednesday 4:15-6:15Pm
    Spring 2021 HIST 80010 Literature Survey in American History Wednesday 4:15-6:15pm Professor: Tanisha C. Ford Email: [email protected] Office: 5114.03 Office Hours: Wed 2-3pm (email for appointment) COURSE DESCRIPTION This is a reading-intensive course designed to introduce students to major themes, questions, and historiographical debates in U.S. history—from the end of the Civil War to the late twentieth century. One of the main course objectives is to prepare students for the departmental written exam at semester’s end. Additionally, the course will provide a foundation for students who will teach their own U.S. history courses and expose students to (sub)field-specific methods, modes of inquiry, and bibliographies that will aid in future research. A 5-credit course, Literature Survey is demanding and will require your full commitment and participation. Each week, students will read the equivalent of two book-length monographs and will be expected to actively engage with one another about the books’ core arguments, interventions, contributions to the field, use of source material, periodization, and so forth. Spirited, collegial debate is encouraged. In addition to the departmental exam, assignments will include weekly response papers, short literature reviews, and oral presentations. These assignments will serve as useful study aides as students prepare for the rigorous written exam. The course is organized chronologically as well as thematically and will explore topics/eras ranging from Reconstruction, (im)migration, and American capitalism to the interwar period, social movements, and the rise of the carceral state—by scholars of social, cultural, labor, gender, African American, and sexuality history.

  • The Rhetorical Use of the Language of Slavery in the 21 Century
    The Rhetorical Use of the Language of Slavery in the 21st Century: Immigrant Workers, Prisoners and Trafficked Workers Maria L. Ontiveros University of San Francisco School of Law About ten years ago, Professor James Grey Pope said “Imagine the gun rights movement without the Second Amendment. This is labor without the Thirteenth Amendment.”1 This observation struck me as critical because effective social change requires two things: an identifiable change agent and a coherent legal theory. I have argued that the Thirteenth Amendment can provide the coherent legal theory to help certain groups of workers.2 Since then, many groups of workers have claimed the rhetoric of slavery, if not the Amendment itself, to advocate for their cause. Examining how these non-legal groups have used the rhetoric of slavery provides a possible window into how contemporary society views the Thirteenth Amendment as a tool for understanding and addressing workers’ rights. It also provides an opportunity to view the Thirteenth Amendment through the lens of work and class. This paper presents the results of a systematic survey of the use of the rhetoric of slavery by non-legal groups. The first section describes the methodology used and summarizes its findings. The second section examines the use of the rhetoric of slavery to advocate on behalf of two different groups of workers: immigrant workers and trafficked workers.3 The final section discusses what this tells us about popular conceptions of slavery and the Thirteenth Amendment 1 New Labor Forum article. 2 Chicago Legal Forum article. 3 In “Unpaid Interns, NCAA Athletes and the Language of Slavery: Insensitive but not Ineffective”, (forthcoming, Michigan State Law Journal), I analyzed the use of the language of slavery to advocate for unpaid interns and NCAA athletes.

    Amid the Shadows of Progress: Race and the Struggle for Metropolitan Democracy in Twentieth Century San Antonio by Stephen Arionus A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in The University of Michigan 2019 Doctoral Committee: Professor Matthew Lassiter, Chair Associate Professor Maria Cotera Associate Professor Matthew Countryman Associate Professor Anthony Mora Stephen Arionus [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0001-6634-7208 © Stephen Arionus 2019 Acknowledgements Graduate school is a collaborative process and I would not be here without the support, guidance, and friendship of so many wonderful people and terrific institutions along the way. My circuitous route to graduate school began at the University of Texas at San Antonio where I met a cadre of wonderful scholars and teachers. Marian Aitches encouraged her students to think broadly about the world and our place within it. She introduced me to the writings of Malcolm X, Sherman Alexie, and Winona LaDuke. But it was reading Howard Zinn’s words that changed my life. Kolleen Guy, Wing Chung Ng, Catherine Nolan-Ferrell, Brian Davies, and Anne Hardgrove taught me the fundamental skills of historical analysis. As did Elizabeth Escobedo, but she also taught me the importance of empathy. Pat Kelly was the consummate teacher and mentor. His zest for teaching and love of history was infectious, but it was his compassion and care for his students that made a nontraditional student like me dream bigger. There was no one more excited about my decision to go to graduate school than Pat Kelly.

  • The Evolution of Curling Analytics
    The Evolution of Curling Analytics Kevin Palmer, Gerry Geurts and Jason Gunnlaugson CurlingZone Paper ID 13281 1. Introduction Simple in concept but actually quite complex, curling is often called “chess on ice”. Like innings in baseball, curling takes place over “ends” (8 or 10). Each end comprises of 16 shots, with each shot a decision point in the contest. In a 10-end game the captain of each team, known as the “skip”, makes 80 decisions. This makes for 160 decisions between two teams. In many cases the decision is universally accepted, but very often there can be disagreement on the correct called shot and one poor choice can turn the course of the game. Because of the way curling is played, each decision can be examined using analytics. What is the chance my teammate will successfully execute this shot? What will my opponent likely do next? What are the conditions of the ice and how will that effect our chance of making this shot and each subsequent shot? Based on the outcome of my decision, what is my probability of winning the game? Given the shot-by-shot structure of curling, many would consider statistical analysis as both desired and perhaps necessary for success. This is traditionally not the case. Curling is a game steeped in tradition, where parents and grandparents pass on experience to the next generation. In many instances, some of the best teams in the world stop and consider several options (while a chess timer is ticking away) when pre-planning could help clarify the correct decision much faster.
