Biography Patricia (Patty) Caron was born 24 July 1913 in Chicago, Illinois, to Ovidas Joseph Caron, who owned and operated the Caron Spinning Co. of Rochelle, Illinois (now Caron International) and his wife, Marietta Higman Caron. She is the oldest of five children (Marietta, Richard, Joan, and John.) In 1921, Patty attended school at the Sacred Heart Convent in Lake Forest, Illinois, before moving to Sacred Heart School in Chicago. Patty then attended Immaculata High School in Chicago for her first two years of high school before returning to Sacred Heart for her final two years, graduating in 1931. During her school years Patty was active in the Girl Scouts, founded in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low. After high school, Patty attended Trinity College in Washington, D.C., spending her junior year abroad at the Sorbonne in Paris, and graduating in 1936 with a Bachelor of Arts. In 1934, during a weekend at home, she met her future husband, Patrick Francis (Pat) Crowley. They became engaged on 24 April 1937 (the Caron’s wedding anniversary) and married on 16 October 1937 at Mt. Carmel Church in Chicago. Pat and Patty Crowley shared a love for children, having five of their own – Patricia Ann (13 May 1939), Joan (29 August 1941 – 1 September 1941), Mary Ann (5 June 1943), Patrick Joseph (15 December 1944), and Catherine Anne (24 March 1947) – in addition to taking in countless foster children and foreign students. Two children stand out as firsts - Algie Augustine, their first foster child and who would stay close to the Crowley family, and Theresa, their first adopted child. In 1941 the Crowleys’ moved to Wilmette, a move that changed their lives with Pat and Patty becoming involved in Catholic action groups meeting at their local church. The traditional practice Crowley, pg. 1 Women and Leadership Archives Loyola University Chicago of these groups was for men and women to meet separately, a practice that continued during the Crowleys’ attendance although other things changed. The biggest change was that the men in these groups began to discuss family issues while the women in these groups discussed social issues. Both men and women began taking action on issues that were important to them. During this period the Crowleys’ began their involvement with the Friendship House of Chicago, a Catholic social action group focusing on the improvement of race relations in the United States. This involvement influenced the direction that the Crowleys’ took with their social justice actions. In 1948, it was suggested that men and women meet together for the first time. This change brought about the formation of a number of organizations: Pre-CANA, CANA, Christian Family Action, and, ultimately, the Christian Family Movement (CFM). From the inception of Christian Family Movement, the Crowleys’ were deeply immersed in coordinating activities in the United States as well as helping people to start Christian Family Movement groups throughout the world. Among the many countries they visited were Germany, France, Belgium, New Zealand, Ceylon, Portugal, the Philippines, Tanzania, and Nigeria. Pat Crowley became the Christian Family Movement’s first President in 1949. The 1960s were years filled with travel for the Crowleys. In 1964 they embarked upon a world tour to visit Christian Family Movement groups around the globe. In 1964 the Crowleys’ were appointed by Pope Paul IV to the Birth Control Commission originally set up by Pope John XXIII, and went to Rome four times as part of the Vatican Council. They also traveled to Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Thailand, India, and Israel for Christian Family Movement and the International Union of Family. In 1967 the Crowleys’ moved from their home in Wilmette to 1300 Lake Shore Drive, later followed by a move in 1969 to the permanent Crowley residence at the John Hancock Building in downtown Chicago. By 1970 Ray and Dorothy Muldoon were organizing the domestic affairs of Christian Family Movement, thus allowing the Crowleys’ to focus exclusively on the international aspects of the organization. Between 1970 and 1971 they traveled to New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Manila, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan. Pat Crowley died at home on November 20, 1974. His death brought an end to the dynamic couple that made appearances and hosted parties as part of their Christian and civic efforts. After Pat Crowley’s death Patty Crowley continued her commitment to Christian efforts, although the scope of her work changed over the last 20 years. Patty began dedicating her spare time and energy to the issues of women who are poor and homeless. She put her talents to use at Deborah’s Place, a shelter for women, and at various affiliated organizations. Patty also visited women prisoners. Over the years the Crowleys’ have been awarded many honors for both their Church and civic activities. This collection contains some of the honors they received, including the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice Medals bestowed by Pope Pius XII, and the Laetare Medal, the highest honor bestowed by the University of Notre Dame. In addition they have received citations from Christian Family Movement, the Afro-American Patrolmen’s League, the Chicago Commission on Human Relations, and Conference of Christians and Jews. Patty has been honored individually as a recipient of the Mundelein College Magnificat Medal, the Loyola University Camellia Award, and with honorary doctorates from both Loyola University Chicago and Trinity College, Washington D.C. Crowley, pg. 2 Women and Leadership Archives Loyola University Chicago Patty’s civic commitments included positions as the director, president or board member of such organizations as Caron International, the Little Brothers of the Poor, the Foundation for International Cooperation, International Visitors Center, the Friends of the Chicago Public Library, Visiting Committee of the University of Chicago Divinity School, the Family Institute of Chicago, the United Nations Association of Chicago, the Grand Council of the American Indian Center of Chicago, the Latino Institute, and Chicago Catholic Women.

    Asian-Pacific Rim Logistics

    Book Reviews also bow, at the outset, to the spirits of political and diplomatic theories (constructivism, neorealism, even Kahneman’s prospect theory, etc.) before moving on to the more interesting task of calling regional developments as they see them. These are quibbles for what is an informed and insightful reflection on some of the key dynamics shaping Asia and its place in the world. The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada Joseph Caron ASIAN-PACIFIC RIM LOGISTICS: Global Context and Local Policies. By Peter J. Rimmer. Northampton, MA; Cheltenham, UK: Edward Elgar, 2014. xxiv, 522 pp. (Illustrations, maps.) US$180.00, cloth. ISBN 978-1-84720-628-2. While there have been many books written about the rise of the Asian economy, none before this one have focused on the key transportation and logistics challenges facing the Asian-Pacific Rim in the twenty-first century. Transportation geographer Peter Rimmer provides a grand synthesis of the region’s supply chain needs and discusses how national transport policies are responding to the growth of a region that stretches from eastern Russia in the north to the Indonesian archipelago in the south and which encompasses China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. What is at stake is that due to the elongated geography of the Asian-Pacific region, together with its decentralized production and service hubs and the difficulties of shipping, air transport, and so on, the costs of logistics are inherently more expensive here than in Europe and North America. “A seamless Asian-Pacific Rim is still a long way from reality” (15).

For decades, women and mothers had been steadily increasing their workforce participation in a marketplace that demanded longer and less predictable hours of all workers. Yet the unpaid and often invisible work of caring for children, the sick, and the elderly continued to fall, primarily, on the shoulders of women. And workplace policies continued to assume that a breadwinner (almost always male) and a caregiver (almost always female) divided the tasks of providing economic support and care for the family, even while demographic realities proved otherwise. The problem ABB set out to address was easy to see but hard living paycheck to paycheck. While the media spotlight to name. Alternatively called “the care crisis,” the “work-family shone brightly on professional and higher-earning workers, dilemma”, and “the time crunch,” growing tensions between it routinely failed to address the stark realities facing those work and family responsibilities were harming a majority of struggling to meet their families’ basic needs with little to workers, and weighing most heavily on women in low-income, no inancial safety net.

Moore, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________________ William L. Portier, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________________ David J. O’Brien, Ph.D. Committee Member ii ABSTRACT INSTITUTIONAL INNOVATOR: SARGENT SHRIVER’S LIFE AS AN ENGAGED CATHOLIC AND AS AN ACTIVE LIBERAL Name: Martin, Daniel Edwin University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Anthony B. Smith This dissertation argues that Robert Sargent Shriver, Jr.’s Roman Catholicism is undervalued when understanding his role crafting late 1950s and 1960s public policies. Shriver played a role in desegregating Chicago’s Catholic and public school systems as well as Catholic hospitals. He helped to shape and lead the Peace Corps. He also designed many of the programs launched in President Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty. Shriver’s ability to produce new policies and agencies within a broader structure of governance is well known. However, Shriver’s Catholicism is often neglected when examining his influence on key public policy initiatives and innovations. This dissertation argues that Shriver’s Roman Catholic upbringing formed him in such a way as to understand the nature of large bureaucracies and to see possibilities for innovation within an overarching structure.

    APF Round Table, April 14, 2010 _____________________________________________________ 1 EMERGING REGIONAL ARCHITECTURE IN THE ASIA PACIFIC Speaking Notes for a Round Table: Asian regional integration What emerging regional Asian architecture? No debate on Asian regional integration can begin without acknowledging past policies, initiatives and outright invasions in order to draw or force the nations of Asia together. Some examples of this are quite distant in time. Various Chinese dynasties famously organized a Tribute System of adjacent states, including some not so near (e.g. Ryukyu Islands), offering a first regional integration model, centered on China. Late 19th century Indian and Japanese intellectuals, notably promoted a spiritual, anti-materialist ‘Pan-Asianism’, views most famously advanced by Nobel prize winner Rabindranath Tagore and his friend Okakura Tenshin. Japanese imperialists promoted an entirely self-serving and ultimately disastrous Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere, which, among many other consequences, put paid to any notion that regional integration could be led by one country alone. The United States build the South East Asia Treaty Organization after WWII, seeking to parallel the North Atlantic version, with much less success. APF Round Table, April 14, 2010 _____________________________________________________ 2 Good ideas have a life of their own But ideas favouring a cooperation framework, leading to various models of integration fails to disappear, even as no single vision has succeeded in taking hold. Since the 1960s onward, the debates on integration began by acknowledging the vast differences – historical, cultural, geographic – between Asia and the variously defined ‘West’, and thus suggesting that there were unbridgeable limits on the extent of centripetal dynamics that could underpin productive pan-Asian cooperation.
