  • Capitalism, the Family and Personal Life (New York: Harper & Row, 1976)And Edward Shorter, the Making of the Modern Family (New York: Basic Books, 1975)
    421 Review Article THE FAMILY AND CHANGE A discussion of Eli Zaretsky, Capitalism, the Family and Personal Life (New York: Harper & Row, 1976)and Edward Shorter, The Making of the Modern Family (New York: Basic Books, 1975). LOUISE A. TILLY With the work of Philippe Ari~s, Philip Slater, Eli Zaretsky, Edward Shorter and Richard Sennett, the privatization and individuation of personal life have become grand themes of historical speculation. 1 All of these scholars, and others, agree that a historical trend towards privatization has in fact occurred. Not all of them, however, agree on the desirability of such a trend. Of tile authors whose books are reviewed here, Eli Zaretsky weighs the positive and negative aspects of privatization, while Edward Shorter is among those who clearly approve and welcome the trend. Zaretsky's slim volume is tile reissue of a two part article, originally published in Socialist Revohttion in 1973. It is an uneasy mixture of explication of contemporary feminist analysis, socialist revision of this analysis, and a modified functionalist historical sketch of the family under capitalism. Zaretsky sees the contemporary family as an institution in which personal life can develop: "The rise of capitalism isolated the family from socialized production as it created a historically new sphere of personal life among the masses of the people. The family now became the major space in society in which an individual self could be valued 'for itself' " (p. 31). Zaretsky is critical of some feminist thought for seeing the family too simply as an oppressive institution. He also notes the shortcoming of much socialist thought which uncritically accepts capitalist devaluation of housework and Department of Histoo,, University of Michigan 422 the private arena because of their absence from systems of exchange.

  • The Whitman College Residential Learning Environment -Sean Gehrke & Evan Carman
    The Whitman College Residential Learning Environment -Sean Gehrke & Evan Carman- In recent years, institutions of higher education have been challenged to intentionally design programs that enhance and contribute to the student learning experience. In order to meet this challenge, the Residence Life and Housing Office at Whitman College has taken the charge to fully develop and understand the learning taking place within our residence halls. This document is the first step toward that development. The Whitman College Residential Learning Environment analyzes and describes the learning environment within the residence halls of Whitman College. As we embark on this journey, we begin by mapping the residence hall learning environment, using the definition of environment mapping proposed by the major student affairs organizations in Learning Reconsidered 2 (Keeling, 2006): “Mapping a learning environment is the process of recognizing, identifying, and documenting the sites for learning activities on campus…” (Borrego, 2006, p. 11). In other words, our first step in this process is to identify the numerous sites for learning within the context of our residence life program in order to fully understand the type of learning that takes place in our halls. The Whitman College Residence Life Program The Residence Life and Housing Office is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the entire on-campus residential program for Whitman College, a private liberal arts and sciences undergraduate college with a student population of around 1450 students. The college has a two year on-campus residency requirement for all students. The residence life program consists of nine residence halls and an Interest House Community.
