Salter Jr.) of Jackson, Mississippi “This is a troubling book in the way that any stirring-up troubles surfaces, whether surface understandings, feelings, memories, or the wounds that mark the white space of conven- tional history like strangled words. These are stories you feel, which Fleisher has felt, stirrings and troublings that flow from the wounds of the raped and dead, over space and time, eventually becoming a dark blanket from which, again and again, a dreamer awakens and walks forth.

    ECON 771: Political Economy of Race and Gender Spring 2018 Dr. Elissa Braunstein Department of Economics, Colorado State University [email protected] Office: C327 Clark Office hours: T 1:00 – 2:00 (or by appointment) Overview I define political economy as “the study of the impact of group identity and collective conflict on the organization of economic activity and its consequences.” Political economy traditions tend to focus on class as a source of identity and group conflict. In this course, we will expand that focus to incorporate other sources of group membership, giving you a broad background in economic approaches to inequality and identity based on race/ethnicity and gender. We will focus primarily on the neoclassical, Marxian political economy and feminist literatures. In addition to learning more about the relationship between group membership and economic structures, we will use the prisms of race and gender to better understand and critique various approaches to economic analysis. And while much of the literature focuses on the U.S. context, I will try to broaden the discussion as often as possible, and encourage students to do the same. I welcome students from other social science disciplines. Although we will cover some advanced material that may be difficult for those who have not completed graduate economics courses, the emphasis will be on the main points, rather than the technical detail. The syllabus includes both required readings (*starred) and supplemental readings/sections as I wanted to give you a more complete sense of the literature if you are interested in looking further into a particular topic.

  • Will Look Primarily for Reasons Families Changed, and Why They Appear To
    The Growing Differences in Family Structure: What Do We Know? Where Do We Look for Answers? By David T. Ellwood and Christopher Jencks John F. Kennedy School of Government Harvard University August 2001 This paper was prepared as part of the New Inequality Program supported by the Russell Sage Foundation. The authors gratefully acknowledge the generous support for this initiative. Eric Wanner provided helpful comments. Thank you to Elisabeth Welty, Chris Wimer, and David Harding for their excellent research work and thoughtful suggestions and to Seth Kirshenbaum for his careful editing and fine assistance. The Growing Differences in Family Structure: What Do We Know? Where Do We Look for Answers? By David T. Ellwood and Christopher Jencks The rapid changes in family structure in the United States over the past 40 years have unquestionably contributed to growing family income inequality. One mechanism is quite well known. The growth of single parenthood tends to raise poverty and lower family incomes if for no other reason than more children are being supported by only one potential earner who is usually a woman. What is far less well known is the fact that single parenthood has grown quite differently by the level of maternal education. For a women aged 25-34 in the bottom third of the education distribution, the odds of being a single parent has risen from 7% in the mid 1960s to nearly 20% today. For a comparably aged woman in the top third of education, the odds have barely changed from the 5% figure of the 1960s. In spite of a few high profile celebrity cases, single parenthood remains rare for this educated group.

  • The Millennium Breach the American Dilemma, Richer and Poorer
    The Millennium Breach The American Dilemma, Richer and Poorer In Commemoration of the Thirtieth Anniversary of the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders Executive Summary Second Edition, 1998 The Milton S. Eisenhower Foundation and The Corporation for What Works "Our nation is moving toward two societies, one black, one white—separate and unequal." On March 1, 1968, in the wake of riots in Detroit and Newark, and with more riots soon to come after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, that was the conclusion of the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders—the Kerner Riot Commission, named after its chair, then-governor of Illinois Otto Kerner. Thirty years to the day, on March 1, 1998, the Milton S. Eisenhower Foundation released an update of the Kerner Commission. This is the second edition to the update. The original Commission concentrated on African-Americans and inner cities. To provide continuity, much of this update is similarly focused. At the same time, the report is sensitive to rapidly expanding disparities in income and wealth that are class-based, embraces all inner city minorities in poverty, and respects today's more complex, multicultural diversity—particularly the growing proportions of Hispanics and Asian- Americans in urban areas. The report tries to answer these questions: • What happened over the last thirty years? What are the facts on which to build an inner city policy for the new millennium? • What policy doesn't work? • What policy works? • What is the cost of replicating what works to scale and how can it be financed? • What are the major political obstacles against replicating to scale? • What is the political feasibility of a policy based on what works? • What political alliance is needed to generate political will? What Are The Facts? The Kerner Commission proposed remedies to racial, spatial and economic disparity.

  • Nostalgias in Modern Tunisia Dissertation
    Images of the Past: Nostalgias in Modern Tunisia Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David M. Bond, M.A. Graduate Program in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Sabra J. Webber, Advisor Johanna Sellman Philip Armstrong Copyrighted by David Bond 2017 Abstract The construction of stories about identity, origins, history and community is central in the process of national identity formation: to mould a national identity – a sense of unity with others belonging to the same nation – it is necessary to have an understanding of oneself as located in a temporally extended narrative which can be remembered and recalled. Amid the “memory boom” of recent decades, “memory” is used to cover a variety of social practices, sometimes at the expense of the nuance and texture of history and politics. The result can be an elision of the ways in which memories are constructed through acts of manipulation and the play of power. This dissertation examines practices and practitioners of nostalgia in a particular context, that of Tunisia and the Mediterranean region during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Using a variety of historical and ethnographical sources I show how multifaceted nostalgia was a feature of the colonial situation in Tunisia notably in the period after the First World War. In the postcolonial period I explore continuities with the colonial period and the uses of nostalgia as a means of contestation when other possibilities are limited.

Douglas Massey and Nancy Denton's American Apartheid argues that housing integration has inappropriatelydisappeared from the nationalagenda and is critical to remedying the problems of the so-called "underclass." Re- viewer Olati Johnson praises the authors' refusal to dichotomize race and class and the roles both play in creatingand maintaininghousing segregation. However, she argues, Massey and Dentonfail to examine critically either the concept of the underclass or the integration ideology they espouse. Specifi- cally, she contends, the authorsfail to confront the limits of integration strate- gies in providing affordable housing or combating the problem of tokenism.

  • A Global Tech Leader Rises in Upstate New York
    BFOct10_CoverStory_GF.vs5 10/14/10 3:11 PM Page 1 COVER STORY By Jack Rogers A GLOBAL TECH LEADER RISES IN UPSTATE NEW YORK GlobalFoundries’ Fab 8 in Malta will be the most advanced semiconductor manufacturing facility in the world, producing microchips with components as small as 22 nanometers. he autumn leaves are in the midst of their annual burst of color, but changing foliage isn’t the most spectacular development in Upstate New York this year. That honor belongs to GlobalFoundries’ Fab 8 project. Taking shape on the 1,414-acre Luther Forest Technology Campus in scenic Saratoga County is the world’s most advancedT semiconductor manufacturing facility. At the heart of this $4.2-billion project in Malta, NY stands the emerging shell of a 300,000-square- foot cleanroom that soon will begin churning out 300-mm wide semiconductor wafers with microchip circuits as small as 28 nanometers (28nm). Shortly after manufacturing commences in mid-2012 at Glob- alFoundries (GF), the microchip plant will take a great leap forward and become the world’s first facility to produce 300-mm microchips with components as small as 22 nanometers. For those of us who wouldn’t know a nanometer from a thermometer, here are some mind-bog- gling numbers: a nanometer is one-billionth of a meter; a water molecule is one nanometer, a germ is about 1,000 nanometers; a human hair is 100,000-nm thick. If you want to view a 22-nm com- ponent on a microchip, you’ll have to swap your reading glasses for a powerful atomic micro- scope.

  • Office of Naval Research Department of the Navy Contract ~Onr-220(28) VISCOUS EFFECT on SURFACE WAVES GENERATED by STEADY DISTUR
    Office of Naval Research Department of the Navy Contract ~onr-220(28) VISCOUS EFFECT ON SURFACE WAVES GENERATED BY STEADY DISTURBANCES T. Yao-tsu Wu and R. E. Messick Reproduction in whole or in part is permitted for any purpose of the UnitedStates Government Engineering Division California Institute of Technology Pasadena, California Report No. 85-8 Approved February, 1958 M. S. Plesset Abstract A linearized theory is applied here to investigate the viscous effect on water waves generated and maintained by a system of ex- ternal disturbances which is distributed over the free surface of an otherwise uniform flow. The flow is taken to be in the steady state configuration. The analysis is carried out to yield the asymptotic expressions for the surface wave when the Reynolds number of the flow is either large or small. 1. Introduction The problem of the decay of a train of free-running simple waves over a water surface due to the viscous effect has been treated by Lamb 1 2 and Basset . Since in the general practice water waves are usually generated by some localized external disturbances, this consideration sug- gested to the present authors the investigation of the viscous attenuation, in space, of the water waves generated and maintained by a system of ex- ternal normal stress and shearing stress distributed over the free surface of an otherwise uniform flow. The scope of the present investigation will be limited to the case when the external forcing functions are independent of the time and the motion has been maintained for a long duration such that only the steady state solution of the problem will be of interest.
