    2008 Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Humanities

    200808 ANNUAL REPORT NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES CHAIRMAN’S LETTER The President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: It is my privilege to present to you the 2008 annual report of the National Endowment for the Humanities. At the White House in February, I joined President Bush and Mrs. Bush to launch the largest and most ambitious nationwide initiative in NEH’s history: Picturing America, the newest element of our We the People program. Through Picturing America, NEH is distributing forty reproductions of American art masterpieces to schools and public libraries nationwide—where they will help stu- dents of all ages connect with the people, places, events, and ideas that have shaped our country. The selected works of art represent a broad range of American history and artistic achieve- ment, including Emanuel Leutze’s painting of Washington Crossing the Delaware; Mary Cassatt’s The Boating Party; the Chrysler Building in New York City; Norman Rockwell’s iconic Freedom of Speech; and James Karales’s stunning photo of the Selma-to-Montgomery March for Voting Rights in 1965. Accompanying the reproductions are a teacher’s guide and a dynamic website with ideas for using the images in the study of American history, literature, civics, and other subjects. During the first round of applications for Picturing America awards in the spring of 2008, nearly one-fifth of all the schools and public libraries in America applied for the program. In the fall, the first Picturing America sets arrived at more than 26,000 institutions nationwide, and we opened a second application window for Picturing America awards that will be distributed in 2009.

    As a Dispositif: Towards a Critical Ontology of Policy and Power

    "Tea~h First" as a Dispositif: Towards a critical ontology of policy and power Patrick L.J. Bailey veL Institute of Education, London PhD Thesis June 2015 . 1 Declaration I, Patrick Bailey, hereby declare that, except where explicit attribution is made, the work presented in this thesis is entirely my own. Word Count 99,854 words Copyright The copyright of this thesis rests with the author and no quotation from it or information derived from it may be published without the proper acknowledgement of the author. 2 Abstract This thesis is a study of power. More specifically, it is a study of some of the myriad forms and operations of power which animate and condition the present, and which can be observed in the governing of education policy. A material post-structural approach to policy sociology is developed and then deployed in exploring the ontology of the education state and the teacher. The thesis puts to work the 'methods' and 'sensibilities' of Foucauldian genealogy and critical ethnography, and in doing so attends to some of the history of power and its insinuations in the governing and administering of education. Drawing on Michel Foucault's methodological and analytical concept of the dispositif, education policy is conceptualised as an historical and contingent formation of material objects, discourses and practices - a policy dispositij. At the same time, dispositifis applied as an analytical device for investigating the 'micro-physics' and 'immanence' of power, or the different ways in which power operates in minute and molecular ways in individual and heterogeneous encounters. Dispositifis also applied as a critical tool for exposing the ways in which the present is conditioned and fabricated within, and by, multiple forces of enablement and constraint.

The Historic New Orleans Collection, home to a vast array of historical decorative arts and situated in the Vieux Carré, is an ideal loca- tion for the exploration and examination of antiques. We look forward to hosting the New Orleans Antiques Forum for years to come, with new topics and speakers at each forum. This event has been in the works for several years, and we would not be here today were it not for the dedication and tireless efforts of many people, especially our generous sponsors. I wish to extend special thanks to L’Hermitage, Evergreen, and Whitney plantations for opening their doors for our pre-forum plantation tour, and to Eugene Cizek and Lloyd Sensat for providing history along the way. The tour sold out very quickly, so register early for next year’s optional trip. I am also grateful to our speakers and the institutions they represent; their support of this event is sincerely appreciated. In addition, I thank the antique shops who will stay open late on a Friday in August for our French Quarter Antiques Stroll, as well as those individuals who will open their homes to attendees on Saturday.
