PUBLISHED BY THE UC BERKELEY SOCIOLOGICAL RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM, APRIL 2012 1 WELCOME “Sociological method as we practice it rests wholly on the basic principle that social facts must be studied as things, that is, as realities external to the individual. There is not principle for which we have received more criticism; but none is more fundamental. Indubitably for sociology to be possible, it must above all have an object all its own. It must take cognizance of a reality, which is not in the domain of other sciences. There can be no sociology unless societies exist, and that societies cannot exist if there are only individuals.” —Emile Durkheim Welcome to the Fourth Annual UC Berkeley Sociological Research Symposium! Today, we will celebrate unstoppable intellectual inquiry among scholars from multiple departments in both the social sciences and humanities.

The labor movement had been weakened after Dlosing massive strikes in 1919, but the memory of that turbulent period haunted employ- ers. Immigration restrictions enacted in the middle of the decade curtailed employers’ ability to fire and replace workers as they saw fit, and an expanding economy put workers in demand. Employ- ers needed a uniform message to sell their workers on company loyalty. It was in this context that Mather and Company produced hundreds of motivational workplace posters, selling them to com- panies across the country. These posters appear at first glance to be little more than a cacophony of banal exhortations to good work habits. Yet among the jumble of images and messages, a power- ful, coherent ideology urged workers to have loyalty not merely to employers, but to each other. This paper argues that these posters and related materials fostered communalism through four distinct themes: warning against moving from job to job, condemning a reliance on luck, asserting strict guidelines for workplace speech, and exhorting workers to control their emotions, all under- pinned with a powerful celebration of masculinity.

  • Chancellor's Community Partnership Fund Grant For
    Page 1 of 21 CONSENT CALENDAR September 15, 2020 To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council From: Councilmember Rigel Robinson Subject: Chancellor’s Community Partnership Fund Grant for Paid Internships RECOMMENDATION Adopt a Resolution accepting a $15,000 grant from the UC Berkeley Chancellor’s Community Partnership Fund (CCPF) to fund paid City internships for high school and college students, in partnership with the ASUC, the Public Service Center, and the Institute for Governmental Studies. BACKGROUND In any given year, dozens of students intern with the City of Berkeley. These students are typically not paid, not aligned with a formal school-based public service program, and may not receive adequate support in preparing for their internship. The shortage of paid internships, not just in Berkeley but in the public sector as a whole, dictates which students can and cannot afford to gain valuable public service experience. Low-income, underrepresented students of color are often excluded from career-building opportunities, and public entities are unable to benefit from the expertise and lived experiences they bring to the table. College students face an average of $37,172 in student debt,1 and 69 percent say they cannot afford to take an unpaid internship.2 As tuition and housing costs rise and student debt grows, it is becoming less and less feasible for students to partake in unpaid internships in exchange for professional work experience. In June 2019, the Council adopted a budget that included $13,500 of annual funding for paid internships in the Mayor and Council offices. Given the success of this effort, our office collaborated with the ASUC, the Public Service Center, and the Institute for Governmental Studies to seek additional funding for an expansion of the Public Service Center’s Public Service Internship (PSI) program into the summer.
