    VOLUME 22 FALL 2008 I 1 Published Yearly for the Brown University Department of History Alumni history newsletter contents chair’s letter . inside front cover faculty books . .2 new faculty . .5 faculty activities . 6. undergraduate program . .16 graduate program . .20 NEWSLETTER A Word From The Chair Greetings from the Department of History. Readers of last year’s Newsletter will recall that Peter Green House was on the move, relocating a few hundred feet to the corner of Angell and Brown. That move has now been completed and we have settled back in our offices, a bit weary for the move, but grateful that we now have six new offices on the ground floor and a better view of campus. And now we can boast that we inhabit an award winning building, as acknowledged by the Providence Preservation Society. The additional space is especially appreciated because we have new faculty. Jorge Flores earned his degree in the History of the Portuguese Discoveries and Expansion from the New University of Lisbon and has taught at the University of Macau. He is associate professor of Portuguese and Brazilian Studies and History, and specializes in the Portuguese expansion in Asia. Françoise N. Hamlin did her graduate training at Yale and taught at the University of Massachusetts before coming here as assistant professor of Africana Studies and History. Professor Hamlin studies the history of the civil rights movement in the United States, with an emphasis on understanding the role of gender. Finally, Tracy Steffes arrived at Brown from the University of Chicago, where she recently completed her dissertation, “A New Education for a Modern Age: National Reform, State-building, and the Transformation of American Schooling, 1890-1933.” Her teaching record includes courses at the University of Chicago, Denison University, and at Indiana University-Northwest.

  • Joint Union–Management Workforce Development Model
    CHAPTER 9 Joint Union–Management Workforce Development Model DANIEL MARSCHALL Ellen Scully-Russ The George Washington University In their early synthesis of the features shared by joint training programs, Ferman, Hoyman and Cutcher-Gershenfeld (1990) argued that such programs, as they emerged from the industrial restructuring of the 1980s, represented a distinctive innovation in worker training and career development with the potential to become “a stable and significant domain” in labor–management relations. The authors described joint training programs as an emerging set of institutional arrangements that included large-scale, negotiated, and jointly administered trust funds providing technical training, personal development, and access to education for union members. Though there were many examples of joint union–manage- ment training activity prior to the appearance of the industrial joint training program model, earlier programs were narrowly focused on sin- gle-issue training or time-bounded training efforts. In contrast, the new model spanned many areas of training activity, covered divergent popu- lations of workers and managers, and incorporated service delivery strategies guided by a philosophy of worker involvement and jointly determined decision making. Among other research implications, the authors identified the classification of joint training activities as a chal- lenge for understanding the structural tendencies within these young organizations. Notably, the authors speculated that the emergence of these innovative joint

In the United States, it’s diffi - cult to pinpoint the cause, yet Donald Trump appears to have become the poster president. David Ricci, in this call to arms, thinks Trump is symptomatic of a myriad of changes that have caused a crisis among Americans – namely, mass economic and creative destruction: automation, outsourcing, deindustrialization, globalization, priva- tization, fi nancialization, digitalization, and the rise of temporary jobs – all breeding resentment, which then breeds populism. Rather than dwelling on symptoms, Ricci focuses on the root of our nation’s problems. Thus, creative destruction, aiming at perpetual economic growth, encouraged by neoliberalism, creates the economic inequality that fuels resentment and leads to increased populism, putting democracy at risk.
