Dear Urban History Association Conference Attendees:
Welcome to Loyola University Chicago. We are delighted to welcome you to our campus and to our beautiful city.
I congratulate UHA Executive Director Timothy Neary, and UHA President and Professor of History at Loyola, Timothy Gilfoyle, for their hard work — and that of so many others — to bring this 8th Biennial conference to fruition. This conference is truly global in scope, and the diversity of tours, workshops, roundtables and more that have been planned for you will surely advance the study of the history of the city in important ways.
The Association’s valuable mission to stimulate urban study and research is underscored by Loyola University’s inextricable link with the history of the city of Chicago. And so, we are glad you are here.
Please enjoy the conference, our campus and the city of Chicago.
Sincerely,
Jo Ann Rooney, JD, LLM, EdD President Loyola University Chicago
2 Welcome to the Conference
By Timothy Gilfoyle, UHA President
Welcome to Chicago! As 2015-16 President of the Urban History Association, I want to welcome you to the Eighth Biennial UHA Conference, the largest and hopefully the most exciting ever. Over four days, the conference will be home to approximately 650 urban historians, writers, scholars and journalists from six continents, 40 states, the District of Columbia and a dozen countries, including Australia, Canada, Chile, China, Denmark, Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and South Korea. More than ever, the UHA is a transnational and international institution. Conference participants will be involved in more than 150 panels, plenaries, roundtables, and tours during their four days in Chicago.
The conference theme – The Working Urban – highlights the importance of the varieties of labor in urban history and the multiple ways urban historians define their own work. The program reflects that diversity with more than 30 panels devoted to workshops, roundtables, plenaries and book discussions, while paying special attention to topics marking the anniversaries of events that profoundly influenced cities, including Martin Luther King’s campaign to “End Slums” in Chicago, the Immigration Act of 1965 and the 100th birthday of Jane Jacobs.
Most of you have visited Chicago. But the weather is often less than hospitable (January for the American Historical Association annual meeting). I hope you can spend some time exploring the city. Walk in any direction from our conference site. Within 45 minutes you can see the first glass box skyscrapers designed by Mies van der Rohe in the U.S., the oldest apartments or “French Flats” in Chicago, Hugh Hefner’s original Playboy mansion, the bullet marks on Holy Name Cathedral where Hymie Weiss was gunned down in 1926 by his gangland enemies, America’s first “vertical mall” in Water Tower Place, the great inland sea of North America (Lake Michigan), the “cathedral” of American evangelicalism at the Moody Bible Institute, the hotel where David Mamet wrote American Buffalo, and, of course, some of the few surviving structures of the great Chicago Fire of 1871: the Pumping Station and Water Tower on Michigan Avenue.
All of us should give special thanks to Executive Director Timothy Neary for not only organizing this conference, but also moving the UHA into the 21st century with its new website (check it out at http://www.urbanhistory.org/); Nathan D.B. Connolly and Donna Murch for reading more panel and paper proposals than any other UHA program chairs in history; and Brad Hunt and René Alvarez for helping with local arrangements and assembling one of the most interesting rosters of urban tours of any UHA conference to date. On behalf of the UHA, I want to gratefully thank the major sponsors of the conference: Loyola University Chicago’s College of Arts and Sciences, Graduate School, Department of History, and Center for Urban Research and Learning; the College of Arts and Letters at the University of Notre Dame; the Chicago History Museum; the Minow Family Foundation; and the University of Chicago Press.
Enjoy Chicago.
Timothy Gilfoyle is Professor and former Chair of History at Loyola University Chicago and a trustee at the Chicago History Museum. His books include A Pickpocket’s Tale: The Underworld of Nineteenth- Century New York (2006); Millennium Park: Creating a Chicago Landmark (2006) and City of Eros: New York City, Prostitution and the Commercialization of Sex, 1790-1920 (1992).

COMMUNITY UPROOTED: EMINENT DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES Photography Exhibit at the Damen Center, Lake Shore Campus, Loyola University Chicago
The Center for Urban Research and Learning (CURL) and the Loyola University Museum of Art (LUMA) have worked with photographer Richard Wasserman to examine the impact of eminent domain at eight different sites around the U.S., spanning 80 years. The photography exhibit is accompanied by interviews with local residents, essays, and an accompanying interactive website. Like many other social issues affecting local communities, eminent domain can be approached in many ways. Photographs of eminent domain sites tell one story, but government leaders, community advocacy groups, residents, and scholars can fill out these stories to create a whole that provides a rich and “thicker” description of the story of eminent domain – from its planning to its implementation, to its ongoing impact. The communities examined in the exhibit include: Bensenville, Illinois; Boston, Massachusetts; Celilo Falls, Oregon; the Delaware Water Gap; Detroit, Michigan; Lake Buchanan, Texas; Los Angeles, California; and Norris, Tennessee. The exhibit’s web site includes photos, essays, interview audio, and directions to the Damen Center: http://luc.edu/eminent-domain. Public Transit: Loyola’s Lake Shore Campus is easily accessible via the CTA. Via train take the Red Line to the Loyola “L” station or take the 147 bus to Sheridan Rd. and Kenmore Ave. directly in front of the Lake Shore Campus.

Pearson Street How do we tell the story of public housing's past in a museum? In 2007, a group of public housing residents sought to create a museum so that their story would not be forgotten once redevelopment demolished their former community. Since then, residents, former residents, and a collection of committed supporters have worked to develop the National Public Housing Museum (NPHM). The UHA will tour the site for the future museum - the last standing building of the former Jane Addams Homes - with D. Bradford Hunt, NPHM Board Member and Vice President for Research and Academic Programs at the Newberry Library. Since renovation of the structure has not yet begun, we will see the potential for a museum, not a finished one, and we will reflect on the challenges of telling the multiple stories of public housing in a museum context. We will travel by CTA train and foot (about 1.2 miles round-trip) from the Corboy Law Center, 25 E. Pearson Street, to 1322 W. Taylor Street and back.
12:00-3:30 PM – Tour: Hull-House, UIC and the Near West Side Guides: Rima Lunin Schultz, Ellen Skerrett and Deborah Kanter. Departs and Ends: Lobby of Corboy Law Center Since 1963, the renowned settlement founded in 1889 by Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr has been a museum at the University of Illinois at Chicago. This tour examines the built environment of the surrounding neighborhood, including the controversial Walter Netsch campus; the extant Little Italy of Taylor Street; Holy Family Church, the largest Irish Catholic parish in Chicago in the 1890s; St. Ignatius College Prep; and St. Francis Assisi Church, the Mexican American “cathedral” of Chicago. The tour ends at Roosevelt Road and Halsted Street, near the Maxwell Street Market arch, symbolizing the lost immigrant world and the new, chic urbanism of the university—both rooted in Mayor Richard J. Daley's plan to re-design downtown Chicago and its close environs. We will leave the Corboy Center, 25 E. Pearson Street, at noon and travel by CTA train and foot to the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum, 800 S. Halsted Street. We plan to return via the Roosevelt Road bus to the CTA red line, arriving at the conference by 3:30.
5:00-7:00 PM – Reception Pritzker Music Pavilion, Millennium Park, 205 E. Randolph Street Public Transit: Take CTA Buses #151 or #147 south from Michigan Avenue and Pearson Street, in front of Water Tower Place (two blocks east on Pearson Street from Corboy); exit bus at Michigan Ave. and Randolph St., and walk east to Exelon Pavilion, 151 E. Randolph Street. Walk south and follow signs to Pritzker Music Pavilion.

ANIMAL METROPOLIS: Histories of Human-Animal Relations in Urban Canada Joanna Dean, Darcy Ingram, and Christabelle Sethna eds.
Horses and dogs and beavers! Oh my! This compilation is a historical study of human-animal relations in Canada, as they exist within political, social, cultural, economic, environmental, and ethical landscapes.
The contributors’ sources cover a broad spectrum: from state and legal documents to popular press; from corporate records and NGO reports to personal diaries; and from materials on industrial agriculture to those of the tourism industry. The collection reflects the diversity of approaches within the field of urban studies, particularly those studies dealing with non-human subjects who lack documentary records.
Cleaving from a populist focus on Canadian wild animals and wilderness environments, Animal Metropolis focuses on urban contexts. Readers will be impressed by the range of creatures, both domestic and wild: wolves, whales, fish, polar bears, and captive elephants.

Historical Studies of Urban America
Historical Studies of Urban America focuses on North American cities and metropolitan areas as centers of historical change. Series titles are concerned with cities as places that influence spatial relations, politics, economic development, social processes, and cultural transformations - and are in turn shaped by these forces. The series editors seek innovative, comparative, broad-gauged, and ambitious studies that will appeal to historians, urbanists in other disciplines, and educated lay readers.
