Top of Page Interview Information--Different Title Regional Oral History Office University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Robert M. Berdahl Chancellor, University of California at Berkeley, 1997-2004 Interviews conducted by Lisa Rubens in 2009 Copyright © 2011 by The Regents of the University of California ii Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Robert M. Berdahl, dated January 16, 2009. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley. Excerpts up to 1000 words from this interview may be quoted for publication without seeking permission as long as the use is non-commercial and properly cited.

    Speaking truth to power. Aaron Wildavsky – GSPP Founding Dean Welcome Welcome to Berkeley’s Goldman School of Public Policy (GSPP). We prepare talented people to become outstanding public policy leaders. We cultivate an intellectual community that invents and promotes innovative policy ideas. We seek to change the world by bringing knowledge and understanding to policy debates. GSPP is the nation’s premier graduate institution for education and research in public policy. It is a diverse and exciting community of students, faculty, staff and visitors, all committed to the highest standards of policy analysis, intellectual rigor, and energetic debate. Our faculty members not only perform cutting edge research—they shape policy through their public commentaries and their active involvement in government. Our staff supports our mission through their exceptional experience, professionalism, and dedication. Our students come with rich domestic and international experiences, and they bring extraordinary commitment, engagement, and energy to the school. The Goldman School was one of the very first institutions in the United States established for the analysis and development of public policy. For over forty years GSPP has led the way in the teaching and practice of policy analysis—using microeconomic, statistical, political, management, legal and information- technology skills to help solve real-world problems. Today, policy analysis drives governments towards reasoned analysis and policy innovation. With the new millennium, public policy must deal with the challenges of global warming, world food and economic security, AIDS, stopping terrorism, and improving governance. GSPP prepares leaders who can meet these challenges. GSPP students are exposed to the unparalleled intellectual, professional and social experiences that only a great university like Berkeley can offer.

    This publication is out of print. Visit www.acha.org/HECCOP/Compendium for an online database of programs. Behavioral Change Approaches to Promote COVID-19 Mitigation Behaviors Among Students Examples from Institutions of Higher Education Created in partnership with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Purpose of This Document This catalogue provides examples of behavioral change approaches implemented in 2020–2021 by institutions of higher education (IHEs) in the United States, promoting everyday strategies that reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, such as mask wearing, proper hand washing and use of hand sanitizer, social and physical distancing, staying home when sick, and avoiding close contact with those outside your household. This document is not meant to be prescriptive or be considered as guidance. Rather, this document provides information on existing efforts implemented by IHEs and is not intended to be an endorsement of any one approach. Organizations have different needs and operate in different contexts, influencing which approaches are the best fit; also, the evidence base for approaches implemented by IHEs to promote COVID- 19 mitigation behaviors among students remains limited. This catalogue of approaches that IHEs have used can help inform your mitigation plans. ACHA is working to turn this document into a searchable online directory and is asking for IHEs to submit their programs and policies for inclusion in the directory. Tell us about the approaches that your campus has been successful in using to reduce transmission by filling out this form. Notice to Readers The approaches and examples listed in this document were implemented by organizations outside of CDC and without CDC funding; these examples are provided for illustrative purposes and therefore do not constitute a CDC or federal government activity or endorsement.

  • Racialization and Belonging in Germany a Dissertation
    Seeing the National Body: Racialization and Belonging in Germany A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Ashley M. Olstad IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Arlene A. Teraoka May 2016 © Ashley M. Olstad 2016 Acknowledgements My studies, research, and dissertation writing have been supported by several institutions, for which I must express my most sincere appreciation: the University of Minnesota, primarily for the Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship and Graduate Research Partnership Program; the Department of German, Scandinavian & Dutch, particularly for the Hella Lindemeyer Mears Fellowship, Gerhardt Weiss Fellowship, and Elizabeth Folsom Rathert Graduate Fellowship; the Center for German and European Studies; the Center for Jewish Studies; DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service); and the German-American Fulbright Commission for a Fulbright Grant in Anthropology. I am also grateful to the Humboldt University and Institute for European Ethnology for hosting me during my Fulbright year in Berlin. At the individual level, my thanks go first to my advisor, Arlene Teraoka, for providing guidance and support throughout my graduate studies and “tough love” at the end. I could not imagine having gone forward with my research project without her invaluable input. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Arlene for having mentored me as a teacher; I learned from the best. Thanks too to the late Daphne Berdahl, my initial co-advisor, whose scholarship has continued to inform my thinking. Even though she was not here to see me through to the fieldwork and writing stage, I greatly benefitted from her help in formulating my initial questions.
