The Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies ANNUAL REPORT Cornell University The Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies ANNUAL REPORT 1991 Cornell University ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS All complex reports require a collective effort. Our first thanks go to the many professors, program directors, administrators, and staff members whose time, expertise, and creativity give the Einaudi Center so much to report about. The idea to produce a full-scale report on the Einaudi Center for broad distribution came from Executive Director, John M. Kubiak. He has followed it through with characteristic thoroughness and efficiency. Hannah Messerli was responsible for much of the gathering and collating of data, the collection of written materials from the programs, and for drafting many sections. Her energy, competence, and good spirits made this project move ahead smoothly. Kenna March has handled the complex desktop publishing tasks associated with this report with characteristic aplomb and goodwill, contributing both to the printed form and the substance of the report in many ways. Donna Eschenbrenner did an excellent job of copy editing.

YIVO INSTITUTE FOR JEWISH RESEARCH PRESENTS CONFERENCE NOVEMBER 5 AND 6, 2017 — CO-SPONSORED BY — — RECEPTION SPONSOR — 1 THE TWO DEFINING MOMENTS of the last century were, arguably, the Holocaust and the Russian Revolution. The tragic impact of the Holocaust on Jews is self-evident; their prominent, if also profoundly paradoxical, role in the Russian Revolution is the subject of this pathbreaking YIVO conference. The Russian Revolution liberated the largest Jewish community in the world. It also opened the floodgates for the greatest massacre of Jews before the Second World War amid the civil war and its aftermath in 1918-21. Once the Bolshevik rule was then consolidated, Jews entered into nearly every sphere of Russian life while, in time, much of the singular richness of Jewish cultural life in Russia was flattened, eventually obliterated. 2 SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2017 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2017 9:00am JONATHAN BRENT, 9:00am DAVID MYERS, President, CJH Executive Director & CEO, YIVO Introductory Remarks Introductory Remarks KEYNOTE ELISSA BEMPORAD KEYNOTE SAMUEL KASSOW From Berdichev to Minsk and Setting the Stage for 1917 Onward to Moscow: The Jews and the Bolshevik Revolution 10:00am CATRIONA KELLY SESSION 1 The End of Empire: Jewish Children 10:00am ZVI GITELMAN in the Age of Revolution LEADING SESSION 1 The Rise and Fall of Jews in the Soviet Secret

  • Bad Medicine: Parents, the State, and the Charge of “Medical Child Abuse”
    Bad Medicine: Parents, the State, and the Charge of “Medical Child Abuse” ∗ Maxine Eichner † Doctors and hospitals have begun to level a new charge — “medical child abuse” (MCA) — against parents who, they say, get unnecessary medical treatment for their kids. The fact that this treatment has been ordered by other doctors does not protect parents from these accusations. Child protection officials have generally supported the accusing doctors in these charges, threatening parents with loss of custody, removing children from their homes, and even sometimes charging parents criminally for this asserted overtreatment. Judges, too, have largely treated such charges as credible claims of child abuse. ∗ Copyright © 2016 Maxine Eichner.

  • (1926-1931) Alessia Pedio* Luigi Einaudi's Colla
    Annals of the Fondazione Luigi Einaudi Volume LII, December 2018: 247-300 ON LUIGI EINAUDI’S ADVISORY COLLABORATION WITH THE ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION (1926-1931) Alessia Pedio* Luigi Einaudi’s collaboration in the years 1926-1931, first as a represen- tative then as an advisor for Italy, to the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memo- rial (LSRM) and the Rockefeller Foundation (RF) is a little-known episode of his multifaceted career. In his role as “cultural entrepreneur” he was charged with selecting young Italian social scientists for the American orga- nization’s fellowship program, to finance their studies either in the United States or in Europe. In this rather arduous undertaking he demonstrated not only diplomacy in his relationships with the program officers, but also his desire to make a successful contribution, without compromising his point of view about some crucial aspects of the RF agenda. The collaboration between Einaudi and LSRM took place during a dif- ficult transition period from the RF organization’s pioneering pattern, in which various and wasteful philanthropic actions concerning public health and medical education were planned day by day, to a new era of centraliza- tion of the financial resources. In 1928, under George E. Vincent’s presi- dency, a new plan was launched; 1 this reorganized the RF structure into five core divisions: international health, medical sciences, natural sciences, humanities and social sciences. In 1929, many of the LSRM’s programs were incorporated into the Division of Social Sciences, and the Social Sci- ence Research Council, founded in 1923, became more strategic in promot- ing the interdisciplinary integration of any research activities.

The Rockefeller Foundation’s Contribution to the Beginnings of Social Science in Italy The transnational character of the social sciences resides in their ability to offer spaces of socialization through the construction of international networks and the promotion of scientific policies of international exchange.1 The Rockefeller Foundation (RF) embodied this transnational quality. Its program of grants and fellowships supported the institutionalization of the social sciences in the European academic context during the 1920s and 1930s.
