  • Huey Long Accomplishments Dr
    Senator/Governor Huey Long Accomplishments Dr. Frank J. Collazo January 3, 2013 Introduction Huey Pierce Long was born in Winfield, La. in 1893 to a middle class family. He liked to tell people he was from a poor background. This helped him relate to the poor people of Louisiana. He was expelled from high school for criticizing the faculty. Huey Long was a very intelligent man. He was able to pass the bar exam after only one year at Tulane Law School. Huey preferred to do battle with the powerful, large corporations and Standard Oil Company was his favorite target. Huey championed himself as a lawyer for the poor man and this strategy would benefit him politically. He had a definite plan for his rise to political power and was well on his way to becoming president before he was shot down in the new Louisiana State Capitol building that he had built by a young doctor named Carl Weis. Long took the nickname "The Kingfish," from the radio show Amos and Andy. He was a Democrat and noted for his radical populist policies. He served as Governor of Louisiana from 1928 to 1932 and as a U.S. senator from 1932 to 1935. Though a backer of Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1932 presidential election, Long split with Roosevelt in June 1933 and allegedly planned to mount his own presidential bid. The Kingfish got much of his power in Louisiana by destroying his adversaries and rewarding his cronies. He also did much good for Louisiana by building roads and bridges and improving education.

This document includes a summary of the LSU campuses performance metrics data. The metrics data provided allow institutions to discuss descriptive metrics and performance measures within the context of each campus’ mission. In complex university systems, the distinct and quite different institutions do not measure their performance against each other but against the larger marketplaces where they compete. Two elements are critical for the effectiveness of performance measurement. First is the constant tracking of improvement from year to year. Second is the periodic benchmarking of campus performance against appropriate national counterparts. Data provided in this document speak primarily to the first element of annual improvement. Subsequent work by the campuses in identifying appropriate measures of performance against national counterparts provide a context for the second, national benchmarking element, of effective performance measurement. The utility of these data points for evaluating institutional performance varies by campus and mission. Below is a general outline of metrics data captured in this document. Please note that for example, in some institutions, enrollment growth is critical to survival; for others, enrollment is stable and other indicators will be more important.

  • Magda Arnold and the Human Person
    Magda Arnold and the Human Person: A Mid-Century Case Study on the Relationship Between Psychology and Religion ELISSA N. RODKEY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Graduate Program in Psychology York University Toronto, Ontario July 2015 © Elissa N. Rodkey, 2015 ii Abstract The life of Magda Arnold (1903-2002)—best known for her pioneering appraisal theory of emotion—spanned the 20th century, and as a result she witnessed the rise and fall of many of the major “schools” of psychology. Arnold had an unusual perspective on these theories of psychology, due in large part to an event that occurred in 1948: her conversion to Roman Catholicism. Throughout her life, but especially following her conversion, Arnold rejected reductionistic theories of the human person, instead articulating theories which emphasized human agency and telos, and which held up the human experience as the primary source of psychological knowledge. Arnold’s conversion significantly affected her career, as she made professional sacrifices to teach in Catholic institutions and was open about her religious identity in her academic work at a time when Catholic scholars were suspect. Arnold’s conversion also shaped her psychological thinking—she later credited her conversion and her resulting exposure to scholastic philosophy with inspiring her appraisal theory. Although there were other Catholics active in psychology at mid-century, Arnold was unusual even in that cohort for her seamless integration of her faith and her science. Arnold’s involvement in psychology (1935-1975) roughly corresponds with a period in academic psychology in which there was very minimal investigation of religious topics (1930-1976)—they were generally considered taboo or unscientific.

  • The City That Care Forgot: Apartheid Health Care, Racial Health Disparity, and Black Health Activism in New Orleans, 1718-2018
    THE CITY THAT CARE FORGOT: APARTHEID HEALTH CARE, RACIAL HEALTH DISPARITY, AND BLACK HEALTH ACTIVISM IN NEW ORLEANS, 1718-2018 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Kevin George McQueeney, M.A. Washington, DC June 16, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Kevin George McQueeney All Rights Reserved ii THE CITY THAT CARE FORGOT: APARTHEID HEALTH CARE, RACIAL HEALTH DISPARITY, AND BLACK HEALTH ACTIVISM IN NEW ORLEANS, 1718-2018 Kevin McQueeney, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Marcia Chatelian, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This work examines the apartheid health care system in New Orleans from the city's founding in 1718 through the present, addressing several research questions. What factors led to the development and perpetuation of the apartheid health care system in New Orleans? What are the connections between apartheid health care and the larger system of racist hierarchy? How has apartheid health care impacted the health of Black residents? How have Black New Orleanians fought against this system and for improved health? This work main's arguments can be summarized as follows. First, apartheid health care emerged as a key component of the slave-based economy, became institutionalized with the end of Reconstruction and the rise of Jim Crow, and helped support the system of segregation in the Crescent City; sadly, an apartheid health care system still exists today. Second, the medical system served white interests in ways that financially benefitted members of the medical community and both accommodated and supported the prevailing economic system and racist hierarchy from slavery, to Jim Crow, to the post WW-II liberal order of de jure segregation, and into the post-Katrina world of ascendant liberalism.
