Reflections on the Past and Future 436 “It Became My Case Study”: Professor Michael Cowan’s Four Decades at UC Santa Cruz vii Introduction Michael Cowan arrived at the University of California, Santa Cruz in the fall of 1969 as an associate professor of community studies and literature and a fellow of Merrill College. By his retirement in 2004, Cowan had achieved a reputation as an outstanding campus leader who filled a variety of positions during his four decades at UCSC. These include two years as provost of Merrill College from 1978-1979; six years as dean of the Division of Humanities from 1983-1989; and multiple terms as chair of the departments of literature and American studies. Cowan is the only professor in UCSC’s history to serve two (widely separated) terms as chair of the Santa Cruz Division of the Academic Senate, from 1979 to 1980 and again from 1994 to 1996. In 1997, he received the first Dean McHenry Award for Distinguished Leadership, given by the UCSC Academic Senate to acknowledge outstanding service. Cowan was also the founding chair of the American studies department and a national leader in that field, serving as president of the American Studies Association from 1984 to 1986. In addition, Cowan served as vice chair and then chair of the (UC Systemwide) Academic Council and Assembly from 1999 to 2001. In 2006, Cowan received the Oliver Johnson Award, which biennially recognizes a member of the UC faculty who has performed outstanding service to the Academic Senate, an honor he shared with former UCSC Chancellor Karl Pister. “It Became My Case Study”: Professor Michael Cowan’s Four Decades at UC Santa Cruz viii In this substantial oral history, Cowan brings this breadth of experience together with an intense personal and scholarly interest in the institutional culture of higher education and the singular, and sometimes experimental history of UC Santa Cruz. This intersection of experience and intellectual study infuses Cowan’s oral history volume with deep insight and remarkable historical detail. Michael Cowan was born in 1937 to a working-class family in Kansas City, Missouri. His father’s family was of English and Scots-Irish background and was part of the great historic migration through the Cumberland Gap. His mother was of mixed Irish and Cherokee roots, although her family was no longer connected with their Native American heritage. Both of his parents were active in the Disciples of Christ Church. A scholarship from a food-processing magnate enabled Cowan to attend Yale University, where he found himself, in the fall of 1955, a working-class student amid mostly white and Anglo-Saxon, wealthy prep school boys. Personal experience with class, religious, racial, and regional differences in the United States would inform Cowan’s future perspectives on diversity in higher education. At Yale, Cowan enrolled in English courses, which taught him foundational skills in close reading which he later used in contexts as varied as teaching autobiography and analyzing UCSC planning reports as utopian documents. At the end of his sophomore year, he entered a relatively new undergraduate major in American studies and Yale’s Honors Program. American studies offered the young Cowan an intellectual framework in which to “It Became My Case Study”: Professor Michael Cowan’s Four Decades at UC Santa Cruz ix understand the somewhat alien culture of the East Coast. A Woodrow Wilson fellowship and a Danforth Fellowship enabled him to enter Yale’s graduate program in American studies, during which he spent a year studying abroad in Cambridge, England, coming to understand the American political system and culture from the British vantage point. Cowan accepted a temporary position as an instructor at Yale in 1963. He married and he and his then-wife, Anne, moved into an apartment above the library, where he wrote his dissertation entitled Emerson and the City. He also accepted a position as dean (equivalent to UC Santa Cruz’s academic preceptor) at Branford College, one of Yale’s residential colleges, an experience which he later drew on when he served as provost of UCSC’s Merrill College. Cowan began a national job search in 1968. His former colleague at Yale, Harry Berger, had recently begun teaching at the new UC Santa Cruz campus. Berger suggested that Cowan contact Professor Dennis McElrath, chair of sociology and an organizer of a new program in community studies. Cowan came to Santa Cruz and met with founding community studies professors William Friedland and Ralph Guzman. After a follow-up meeting with Founding Chancellor Dean McHenry, he was hired as a tenured associate professor and arrived in the fall of 1969. Cowan was drawn to several aspects of the UC Santa Cruz vision, including the residential college system, the emphasis on undergraduate education, and an openness to interdisciplinary thought. The natural beauty of “It Became My Case Study”: Professor Michael Cowan’s Four Decades at UC Santa Cruz x the redwood-forested campus overlooking the Monterey Bay also appealed to him. “It just seemed like a wonderful fit,” Cowan recalled. Cowan’s oral history is chronological, thematic, and sweeping—moving from the 1970s to the first decade of the twenty-first century, and visiting and revisiting topics which reoccur in campus history such as affirmative action, diversity, the ongoing struggle for an ethnic studies curriculum, and the dangers of fragmentation on a decentralized campus. Oral history is a co-creation of the narrator and interviewer. Cowan immediately grasped the collaborative nature of this endeavor and was one of the most articulate, energetic, and organized narrators whom I have interviewed in my more than two decades at the Regional History Project. He provided me with a rich personal archive of materials for background research, including his curriculum vitae, articles, committee meeting minutes, presentations, documents, and references. During the course of the interview, Cowan generously began what is now an ongoing stint as a volunteer in the University Library’s Special Collections Department, assisting with identifying and organizing collections of archival material pertinent to UCSC’s history. This immersion in campus history refreshed his memory and enriched the interview. I conducted eight interviews for this oral history with Cowan in the summer of 2012. We began on May 15 and completed the interviews on June 29, speaking together for a total of just over sixteen hours. It seems most appropriate that the site for these interviews was the Gloria Anzaldúa Study Room in McHenry Library. Like Anzaldúa, whose work Cowan taught in his American “It Became My Case Study”: Professor Michael Cowan’s Four Decades at UC Santa Cruz xi studies and literature courses, Cowan finds meaning in the metaphor of bridges, borderlands, and crossroads, images he returned to throughout these interviews.

  • 2017-2018 Academic Year 02
    CELEBRATING THE HUMANITIES 2017-2018 Academic Year 02 LETTER FROM THE DEAN TYLER STOVALL As we come to the end of another academic year, many of us are no doubt grateful for the relative calm we have experienced since last year. National politics remains turbulent, but there have been no new changes or transitions comparable to those of a year ago. If last year was a time of drama, this has been more one of reassessment and new beginnings. It has been my pleasure to welcome new colleagues to the Humanities Division. History of Consciousness has two new faculty, Banu Bargu and Massimiliano Tomba, whose presence has brought new dynamism to the department. Ryan Bennett and Amanda Rysling joined the Linguistics department as assistant professors. I’m also pleased to welcome Literature professor Marlene Tromp, who so wanted to join us she consented to accept an administrative position as Campus Provost/Executive Vice Chancellor! At the same time, I must say farewell to some valued colleagues. Professors Tyrus Miller and Deanna Shemek are moving to faculty positions at UC Irvine, where Tyrus will also serve as Dean of the Humanities. Professors Bettina Aptheker, Jim McCloskey, and Karen Tei Yamashita retired from the university, although I hope they will remain active as emeriti faculty. Finally, I must acknowledge and mourn the passing of professor emeritus Hayden V. White. One of the most renowned and influential faculty members at UC Santa Cruz, Hayden White left a rich legacy to History of Consciousness, the Humanities, and UC Santa Cruz in general. This has also been a year of new initiatives.

  • The UC Santa Cruz Budget – a Bird's Eye View
    Office of Planning and Budget 2012-13 Edition The UC Santa Cruz Budget – A Bird’s Eye View Message from Office of Planning and Budget… December 2012 On behalf of the staff in Planning and Budget, I am happy to provide you with the 2012-13 edition of The Those birds have a good view of the budget. Birds Eye View. This document provides a unique look at the permanent operating budget for the campus and each of its major units. It includes recent data on the degrees conferred, the majors of our students, the number of faculty budgeted in each department, enrollments by department, and extramural awards. You can find it on the web at http://planning.ucsc.edu/budget/reports/birdseye. UCSC has implemented cuts in each of the past five years. While the cuts have been primarily in the core-funded areas, the impact has been felt throughout the campus. The passage of Proposition 30—and steps taken by the UC Office of the President to renew discussions with the State concerning the longer term funding needs of the University—represents the prospect for California to put public higher education back on a pathway toward fiscal stability. If the State and the UC Regents each agree on a multi-year financial plan for UC, this will create an opportunity for UCSC to create our own multi-year path. While additional cuts will be needed in 2013-14 to address the budget shortfall from 2012-13, we are cautiously optimistic that we can begin to plan for more budget stability.
