Guide to the Elise M. Boulding Collection University of Colorado at Boulder | University Libraries | Archives Guide to the Elise M. Boulding Collection Guide to the Elise M. Boulding Collection (1961-1999) (1960s-1977) 1 University of Colorado at Boulder | University Libraries | Archives Guide to the Elise M. Boulding Collection Elise Boulding Papers. 54 Boxes Abstract These papers concern the personal life and academic career of Dr. Elise Boulding (1920- ). Elise Boulding was born in 1920 in Oslo, Norway and moved to the United States of America with her family at age three. In 1941, at the age of 21 Elise Biorn-Hansen married famed and highly respected economist, Kenneth Boulding. Together, they created a family of five children and fifteen grandchildren. Despite the extensive responsibilities that Elise Boulding had as a wife, a mother, and a grandmother, she still managed to make time for extensive academic study and peace work. Elise Boulding is noted for her active role in many peace and research oriented groups. Her involvement with the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), the International Peace Research Association (IPRA), the Consortium on Peace Research Education and Development (COPRED), and a host of other organizations has been greatly impacting and has never gone unnoticed. Furthermore, her service on the board of the United Nations University and the International Jury of the UNESCO Prize for Peace Education has helped to further international efforts toward including peace education in carricula around the globe. In 1990, Boulding was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for her work on non-violence and conflict resolution; and in 1996, Boulder’s Rocky Mountain Peace Center awarded Dr. Boulding its first Peace Maker of the Year award. Elise Boulding was a former University of Colorado at Boulder professor as well as a professor emerita of Sociology at Dartmouth College. In November 1996, she left Boulder and retired to Wayland, MA, to add to her already extensive body of published books and essays, and to live closer to many of her children and grandchildren. Upon her departure, she vowed to continue her active work in peace advocacy, research and education. Gift of Dr. Elise Boulding, 1977-1996 First and Second Accessions and Guide/ Inventory by Doris Mitterling, January 1979 Third Accession by Sharon Kivenko, October 1999- January 2000 First and Second Accessions Edited by Sharon Kivenko, September 1999 2 University of Colorado at Boulder | University Libraries | Archives Guide to the Elise M. Boulding Collection Biography Elise Boulding, sociologist, educator, peace scholar and activist was born Elise Biorn-Hansen in Oslo, Norway on July 6th, 1920 to Joseph Biorn- Hansen and Brigit Johnson. In 1923, Mr. and Mrs. Biorn-Hansen and their three year old child moved to the United States, and by 1929 were naturalized Americans. Encouraged by her mother, who believed that Elise was destined to “do something important,”1 she enrolled in the New Jersey College for Women (now known as Douglass College at Rutgers University). In 1940, Elise Biorn-Hansen completed her BA in English. In the spring of 1941, she became a member of the Religious Society of Friends (the Quakers) where she subsequently met her soulmate and husband to be Kenneth Ewart Boulding. The following summer, on August 31st, 1941, Elise, age 21, and Kenneth, age 31, were wed, and immediately began their lives as a couple dedicated to peacemaking at home and abroad. Soon thereafter, the couple moved to Iowa where Elise Biorn- Hansen-Boulding began her work towards a Masters degree. From 1945-1946, she worked as a research assistant for the Family Adjustments in Wartime Project at the Department of Sociology at Iowa State College. In 1947 she and husband Kenneth welcomed, John Russell, their first of five children, into the world. Despite her duties as wife and new mother, Mrs. Boulding kept-up her academic work in Sociology. In 1949, she submitted her Masters thesis entitled “Factors in Family Separation Which Influence the Course of Adjustment to War Separation and Reunion,” and subsequently received her Masters Degree in Sociology from Iowa State College. From 1949 through to 1955, Elise Boulding devoted much of her time to motherhood. In 1949, she gave birth to Mark David, and then in 1951 came Christine Anne. Philip Daniel was born in 1953, and finally, William Frederic, the youngest of Elise and Kenneth’s children, was born in 1955. Soon thereafter, Elise once again directed her energy toward her studies and teaching career. From 1957 to 1960, she held a variety of research associate positions and immediately found herself involved in international peace work. Form 1960 to 1963 Boulding worked as the editor of the International Peace Research Letter which led her to a lifetime of work developing the International Peace Research Association (IPRA) into the active and effective organization that it is today. Her work in the area of peace studies became most effective and influential when she began to merge it with her interest in futures studies. In 1961 Dr. Boulding translated, from the Dutch, Fred Polak’s classic work, Image of the Future, and used it as a tool for peace studies and social change workshops ever since. In 1963, Elise Boulding was invited to work first as an Assistant Professor and then as an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Interspersed in these positions, Boulding went back to school for her Ph.D. and received it from Michigan University in 1969. Furthermore, from 1967 to 1970, Boulding worked diligently in the area of women’s peace efforts as the International Chair of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF). In the early seventies, Dr. Boulding was given a position as Professor of Sociology at CU Boulder and simultaneously worked as Associate Editor of The American Sociologist publication. 1 “Elise Boulding: A Bibliography,” Bulletin of Bibliography49 No. 4, pp.299. 3 University of Colorado at Boulder | University Libraries | Archives Guide to the Elise M. Boulding Collection The 1970s, 1980s and 1990s were extremely successful and busy years for Dr. Boulding. She remained fully committed to her roles as mother and as wife, as well to her membership in the Quaker community. Furthermore, her dedication to peace work and teaching never faltered. Dr. Boulding’s list of accomplishments runs a mile long: from her professorships at CU Boulder and Dartmouth College, to her work as Secretary General and then as President of IPRA, to her affiliation with WILPF, and the Consortium on Peace Research, Education and Development (COPRED), to her work with UNESCO and for the establishment of the Japan-based United Nations University, to her help with the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), Boulding’s energy, focus, and time was never wasted. Moreover, hardly any of her valiant and necessary work went unnoticed. From 1973 right through to today, Boulding has been honored for her work in a variety of manners. She has won alumnae achievement awards from both Douglass College as well as from the University of Michigan. She has been granted awards for her work as a feminist scholar and leader from the National Council of Women, the National Women’s Forum, and from the Sisters of Loretta. In addition, Boulding has been honored and awarded for her work as an educator and as an international peacemaker. In 1990 Dr. Boulding was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for her work on non- violence and conflict resolution. In 1995, the American Sociological Association presented Elise Boulding with a Distinguished Career Award. That very same year, COPRED honored her with an Outstanding Lifetime Service to COPRED Award, and the Boston Research Center for the 21st Century awarded her with a Global Citizens’ Award. Finally, 1996, Boulder’s Rocky Mountain Peace Center awarded Dr. Boulding its first Peace Maker of the Year award after which she announced her retirement and plan to move away from Colorado to live closer to her children and grandchildren in Massachusetts. Upon her departure from Boulder in November 1996, Dr. Boulding vowed never to stop her active work in peace advocacy, research and education, and has been adding to her already extensive body of published books and essays ever since. In large part, Dr. Boulding’s peace work has emerged via her volumes of publications, essays and lecture tours and has contributed to the world of peace studies in a variety of extremely valuable ways. Her books include: Image of the Future (translated from the Dutch De Toekomst is Verleden Tyd, by Fred Polak; Oceana Press, 1961); Handbook of International Data on Women (with Carson, Greenstein, and Nuss; New York: Halsted Press, 1976); Women in the Twentieth Century World (Beverly Hills, California: Sage Publications, 1977); From a Monastery Kitchen (New York: Harper & Row, 1976); Children’s Rights and the Wheel of Life (New Brunswick, New Jersey: Transaction Press, 1979), [written especially for the International Year of the Child]; Bibliography on World Conflict and Peace (with Passmore and Gassler; Boulder, Colorado: Westview Press, 1979); 4 University of Colorado at Boulder | University Libraries | Archives Guide to the Elise M.

  • World Passport from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    World Passport From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The World Passport is a document issued by the World Service Authority, a non-profit organization founded by Garry Davis in 1954,[1] citing Article 13, Section 2, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.[2] Contents 1 Appearance and issuance fees 2 As a travel document 2.1 Notable acceptances 2.2 Notable rejections 2.2.1 Commonwealth of Independent States 2.2.2 United States 2.2.3 Other countries 2.3 Use by refugees and stateless persons 3 As an identity document 4 As a political statement 5 Counterfeits and fraudulent issuance 6 List of notable World Passport holders 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Appearance and issuance fees The World Passport is similar in appearance to a national passport or other travel document. The appearance is so similar that in 1974 a criminal case was lodged against Garry Davis in France regarding his issuance of World Passports.[3] In 1979, the World Passport was a 42-page document, with a dark blue cover, and text in English, French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, and Esperanto. It contained a five-page section for medical history and a six-page section for listing organisational affiliation. The fee charged at that time was $32 and postage for a three-year passport with the possibility of two years' extension of validity.[4] The latest edition of the World Passport was issued January 2007. It has an embedded "ghost" photo for security, covered with a plastic film. Its data page imitates the format of a machine-readable passport, with an alphanumeric code bar in the machine- readable zone (MRZ) enabling it to be scanned by an optical reader.

  • MATTER of DAVIS in Exclusion Proceedings A-7449011
    Interim Decision #2650 MATTER OF DAVIS In Exclusion Proceedings A-7449011 Decided by Board May 24, 1978 (1) In cases involving loss of American citizenship, the law and the facts are to be construed as far as reasonably possible in favor of the claimant. (2) Under the provisions of section 3t9(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, the burden is on the one asserting that a loss of citizenship occurred to prove that claim by a preponderance of the evidence. (3) A voluntary renunciation of nationality in accordance with section 401(f) of the Na- tionality Act of 1940 (coati= 549(a)(G), Immigration and Nationality Act), woo effective to accomplish expatriation even if the former citizen did not acquire another nationality, and became stateless. (4) An Oath of Renunciation pursuant to section 401(f) of the Nationality Act of 1940 accomplished expatriation where the 2e was a specific intent tv renuuuce all allegiance to the United States and to become a "world" citizen. (5) Since the United States is not a signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness, U.N. Dec. A/CONF. 9/15 (August 29, 1961), its provisions have no applicability to loss of United States citizenship. Even if this were not the case, the Convention provides for voluntary renunciation of citizenship with resulting statelessness "where the national _ . gives definite evidence of his determination to repudiate his allegiance." (6) One who has lost United States citizenship by a voluntary oath of renunciation is no longer a national of the United States since a renunciation of citizenship embraces a renunciation of American nationality- as well.
