  • How Do Economists Explain Growing Economic Polarization and How Can Educational Opportunity Reduce Its Impact?
    St. Xavier Summit speakers, 2016 How Do Economists Explain Growing Economic Polarization and How Can Educational Opportunity Reduce Its Impact? Presenter: Jim Jurgens Association: Retired Teacher, St. Xavier High School Description: This presentation will examine factors in American society and our changing global economy that are at least partially responsible for growing income inequality, and why expanding educational opportunity must be part of the solution to this problem. Should publically funded preschool become universal? Should all students have the opportunity for a two-year community college education? How can a college education become more affordable? These are questions we may want to discuss. Until he retired last June, Mr. Jurgens was a member of the St. X. Social Studies Department. During his 44-year career at St. X, he has taught Economics, Government, and U.S. History. He has participated in teacher training programs in Asia, Europe, and Central America.

He spearheaded the processes that granted DPCR an Ohio charter and full accreditation from the Ohio Catholic School Accrediting Association. Under Andy’s academic leadership, DPCR students have grown in numbers, academic proficiency and college readiness. He presided at the school’s first graduation in May 2015, celebrating not only that milestone, but also the fact that every senior had been accepted to college.

  • INFORMATION to USERS the Most Advanced Technology Has Been Used to Photo­ Graph and Reproduce This Manuscript from the Microfilm Master
    INFORMATION TO USERS The most advanced technology has been used to photo­ graph and reproduce this manuscript from the microfilm master. UMI films the original text directly from the copy submitted. Thus, some dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from a computer printer. In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyrighted material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are re­ produced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each oversize page is available as one exposure on a standard 35 mm slide or as a 17" x 23" black and white photographic print for an additional charge. Photographs included in the original manuscript have been reproduced xerographically in this copy. 35 mm slides or 6" x 9" black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations appearing in this copy for an additional charge.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

Brueggeman committed much of his life to promoting greater understanding among religious groups. He founded and co-hosted the local religious television program “Dialogue,” which ran for more than 20 years.

I had only been at Xavier for Ttwo years, as the Besl Family Chair in Ethics/Religion and Society, when he asked me to develop a new center at Xavier.

  • An Oral History Study Exploring African
    HITCHING A WAGON TO A STAR: AN ORAL HISTORY STUDY EXPLORING AFRICAN AMERICAN ADULT EDUCATION IN CINCINNATI, OHIO, 1930-1949 by LISA RENEE MERRIWEATHER HUNN (Under the Direction of Talmadge C. Guy) ABSTRACT African Americans have a long and varied history in Cincinnati, Ohio and in adult education. These histories were subjugated for the most part to the historical narratives of the dominant European American population especially within adult education. Some writers of history from within and outside of the field of education explicated the history of African American adult education and these contributions enriched our knowledge of the various institutions, leaders, programs, and philosophies of African American adult education. Few studies included the learners’ voices in the historical narratives. By employing an Africentric theoretical framework and using oral history, this study created a historical narrative that was inclusive of the adult learners’ voices and provided a local history of African American adult education in Cincinnati during the 1930s and 1940s. This oral history study named racism as a pivotal factor in the delivery, structure and curricular emphasis of adult education at both the national and local levels. It detailed some of the learning opportunities that were available to African American adults in Cincinnati and outlined three themes with respect to those opportunities. First, most planned organizational learning opportunities under European American control were circumscribed by a system of racism that resulted in educational opportunities being separate, inferior, and disempowering for African American adults. Second, educational and occupational opportunities and their subsequent outcomes existed in a state of paradoxical tension.
