Teachers: Lost at the Crossroads of Historiography
DOCUMENT RESUME ED 337 418 SP 033 241 AUTHOR Weiner, Lois TITLE Teachers: Lost at the Crossroads of Historiography. PUB LATE Apr 91 NOTE 24p.; Paper presented at the AnnualMeeting of the American Educational Research Association (Chicago, IL, April 3-7, 1991). PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150)-- Information Analyses (070) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Educational History; Elementary SecondaryEducation; *Females; *Historiography; LiteratureReviews; *Teachers; *Teaching (Otoupation);*Unions IDENTIFIERS *Feminist Scholarship ABSTRACT The study of teachers may well bea lens for fusing history of education's disparate perspectives,for teachers stand at the intersection of several ofhistoriography's most dynamic currents. Teachers can be categorizedas women, uorkers, professionals, citizens, andconveyers of values and ideas. Yet, until quite recently, teachers andtheir lives were absent from the writing of historians. This paperexamines how and why several different waves of educational historiographyhave ignored the history of teachers. Ultimately, teachersas a subject of historical investigation were discovered at thecrossroads of labor and women's history, but not before both perspectiveswere well established. Teacher unionism and teachers asa subject cf feminist scholarship are discussed. Forty bibliographical referencesare included.

Prof. Isaac Martin Sociology 246 Office: SSB 469 Winter 2009 Phone: x4-5589 Tu 9:30-12:20 Office hours: Tues., Weds. 3:30-4:30 SSB 101 e-mail: [email protected] THE WELFARE STATE At the beginning of the twentieth century, governments were mainly organizations for making war and protecting property. By the beginning of the twenty-first century they had taken on many other tasks—most especially the task of social provision, or insuring the welfare of their citizens and residents. Today, the world’s most developed states devote most of their budgets, much of their law, and a large share of their personnel to the project of providing their citizens with income security—by means of policy instruments that include poor relief, old-age pensions, sick leave, housing, child care, and dozens of others. This is a course in the comparative political sociology of public social provision—i.e., a course on “the welfare state,” broadly construed. We will be trying to understand why different societies at different times take different approaches to this task. In other words, we will ask how welfare states arose, how they differ, why they persist, and how they change. The study of social provision has been a staple of sociology since the founding of the discipline. But the political sociology of welfare states has assumed increasing centrality in the discipline over the last three decades, as scholars working on a wide range of topics have amassed evidence that public social provision affects many outcomes of concern to sociology—such as poverty and inequality, social mobility, health outcomes, urban development, and collective behavior. -
Forbidden Fruit: Contested Policy Change, Organizational Resources, and the Teaching of Evolution in Public Schools
Forbidden Fruit: Contested Policy Change, Organizational Resources, and the Teaching of Evolution in Public Schools by Angelo James Gonzales A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Margaret Weir, Chair Professor Christopher Ansell Professor Todd La Porte Professor Kim Voss Fall 2011 Forbidden Fruit: Contested Policy Change, Organizational Resources, and the Teaching of Evolution in Public Schools © 2011 by Angelo James Gonzales Abstract Forbidden Fruit: Contested Policy Change, Organizational Resources, and the Teaching of Evolution in Public Schools by Angelo James Gonzales Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Margaret Weir, Chair For over a century, American religious organizations have waged a battle against scientists and their allies over the idea of human evolution. What began as a dispute about the scientific theory of evolution by natural selection has, over time, developed into a long-running policy conflict over the teaching of evolution and creationism in public schools. At the heart of the matter is a puzzle: Despite a nationwide shift in the policy status quo favoring evolution and two U.S. Supreme Court decisions that placed creationists at a severe institutional and political disadvantage relative to their opponents, what accounts for the ability of creationists to keep the dispute alive and to continue to score policy victories; and conversely, why have scientists and their allies failed to end the conflict? This outcome, called “contested policy change,” raises big questions about policy sustainability and the relationship of political and non-political actors to the policy process. -
The Politics of American Social Policy, Past and Future

As the turn of a new century approaches, American are looking critically at the scope and purposes of their nation’s social policies. Reconsiderations are in- spired by the changing needs of a national population that includes increasing numbers of elderly people, employed mothers, low-wage workers not making incomes sufficient to support families, and employees without long-term job security. Yet today’s policy discussions also grow out of unresolved political disputes from the past. Today’s debates are new incarnations of ongoing battles over the expansion, contraction, or reorganization of public services and social spending in the United States. Some debates are certainly hardy perennials. “Welfare reform,” for example, has come up at least once a decade since the 1950s (Bane and Ellwood 1994, chap. -
Comparative Perspectives on American Political Development
IN THIS ISSUE... Volume 19 Number 2 Spring/Summer 2009 Comparative Perspectives on American Political Development Richard Franklin Bensel Department of Government, Cornell University I write to you as the 19th president of the section, a section now mature enough to have spanned a generation. We, as the Jefferson Airplane once sang, “are no longer young.” But we are also not old. We are somewhere in between, neither idling at a crossroads nor hurtling down a freeway. The section has its share of challenges but seems to be in good shape. But this is not a “state of the section” essay. Instead, I write as one who, along with the rest of you, have watched Politics and History develop over the years. We have, as I will describe below, become a bit of a tribe but our tribalism has always been less developed than most of our peer sections. And this is all to the good. A tension lurks at the center of most In In this Issue academicIN life, a tension between the sociological imperative of a profession and the individualizing, creative spirit of scholarship. The sociological imperativeTHIS implacably demands that we belong to an identifiable intellectual community.

Point As Actors Are Constantly Representing, Or Punctuating in Various Ways, Their Ethnical Backgrounds
0 August 7, 1978 Congressman Abraham Kazen Congress of the United States 2411 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Sir: I am writing you about a matter that I think definitely needs some serious heedful attention and probable action. This is a matter of exploitation that has gone untouched or undetected long enough. I am referring to the Mexican Americans and the bias exposure they are faced with in today's television and motion picture medies. I am looking for a means to help eradicate past gross injustices that have been perpetrated against the Chicano conmur ties. Is tnere ally way possible to attain positive image recognition for this ethnic races In reference to today's televising and theater viewing it is evident that minorities from all ranks of society are focused and expanded upon with the exeep- tion of the Mexican Americ an or the Mexican in general. This is a very lucid point as actors are constantly representing, or punctuating in various ways, their ethnical backgrounds. This fact of representation is normally conveyed to the public via pedigree related pictures in the background of the screening plays, names inferring their own descent, or simply making reference to their native land. For distinctive examples of this practice Puerto Ricans constantly use the word Puerto Rico in phrases of their speech, Italians almo st always use Italian resonant names plus highly demonstrating their cultural foods, and Blacks immed- erately verbalize Black oriented jokes. This in the eyes of many is the way the mass and television media purport these individuals. -
The Untold Story of the State Filibuster: the History and Potential of a Neglected Parliamentary Device
THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE STATE FILIBUSTER: THE HISTORY AND POTENTIAL OF A NEGLECTED PARLIAMENTARY DEVICE KYLE GROSSMAN* I. INTRODUCTION On June 25, 2013, as Texas State Senator Wendy Davis prepared to launch her now-famous filibuster, the Supreme Court in Shelby County v. Holder invalidated Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act (“VRA”),1 a crucial part of one of the most successful civil rights statutes ever enacted. This Note takes these two seemingly unrelated events as its starting and ending points. While the federal filibuster is a familiar procedural device, Davis’s effort shone a light on its underexamined state equivalent.2 The invalidation of Section 4 of the VRA also turned attention to the states, this time in the form of alarm bells warning of the need for state-level remedial measures to protect voting rights. This Note links those events together by recovering the history of the state filibuster to reveal how it may—and I argue, should—be used to mitigate the impact of Shelby County. * * * At the end of a special legislative session called by Texas Governor *.

Out of ease of expression, I will refer to filibusters in state senates as “state filibusters” and filibusters in the U.S. Senate as “Senate filibusters.” By “filibuster,” I mean efforts to talk a bill to death, which is its most common usage. “Filibuster” can also mean any dilatory tactic used in a legislative body, but for the purposes of this Note, I use the term in its more narrow sense. -
