  • Labor History Loses a Great Voice: Jim Green
    Labor History Loses a Great Voice: Jim Green By ILHS Vice President Mike Matejka Bringing history to life, particularly transporting it from the lecture hall to the streets, is no small task. Labor History lost a true leader in that effort, Dr. James Green of the University of Massachusetts, who died of leukemia on June.23. Taking labor's dramatic stories, Green was able to translate them into accessible and popular books, including his "Death in the Haymarket" and most recently, "The Devil is Here in THese Hills: West Virginia's Coal Miners and Their Battle for Freedom." This book was the foundation for the Public Television documentary last February, "The Mine Wars." In the 1970s he assisted Barbara Koepple with her award-winning documentary "Harlan County, USA" and PBS for its "The Great Depression" series. Green happily shared his time and talents with the Illinois Labor History Society, including an appearance as guest speaker at the 2010 ILHS Union Hall of Honor. He worked closely with the ILHS, its members and officers, while developing his Haymarket book. Green was a very patient and gentle soul, who moved history beyond academic halls into union halls. His 2000 book, "Taking History to Heart," told his own journey, making labor history accessible and meaningful to a general audience. His roots were in Illinois, growing up in Oak Park and then Carpentersville, where his father was a math teacher and his mother a school clerical worker. His grandparents included a railroad switchman and a clothing factory worker, people with stories he took to heart.

  • Frege in Context
    British Journal for the History of Philosophy 9(3) 2001:557– 570 REVIEW ARTICLE FREGE IN CONTEXT Nikolay Milkov Gottfried Gabriel und Wolfgang Kienzler (eds). Frege in Jena. Beiträge zur Spurensicherung . (Kritisches Jahrbuch der Philosophie , Band 2). Würzburg, Königshausen & Neumann, 1997, pp.161. Pb. DM 28. ISBN 3826014405 Gottfried Gabriel und Uwe Dathe (eds). Gottlob Frege. Werk und Wirkung. Paderborn, Mentis, 2000, pp.313. Pb. DM 30. ISBN 3897850850 REWRITING FREGE’S BIOGRAPHY English-speaking philosophers know little about Frege’s life. In 1972 T. W. Bynum published ‘On the Life and Work of Gottlob Frege’, an introduction of fty-four pages to his translation of the Begriffsschrift , in which various facts about Frege’s life were cited. These notes are still being used as a guide to Frege’s biography today – as in Anthony Kenny’s recent book Frege (see Kenny 1995, p. 1 n.). Apparently, many writers on Frege have never heard about a complete revolution in investigating Frege’s biography that took place in the 1990s in Germany, falsifying almost every sentence in Bynum’s piece. The two volumes under review – I shall refer to them as Spurensicherung and Wirkung for brevity – which are the outcome of two symposia on Frege held at the University of Jena, form the pinnacle of this biographical makeover. Indeed, from 1979 on, four such symposia had already taken place in Jena, resulting in three volumes of proceedings in each of which new data pertaining to Frege’s biography were contained. What is new in 1 I use the term ‘East German’ here, following the tradition established during the Cold War, when Germany was divided into two parts, usually known in English as East and West Germany.

  • Why Teach Labor History? by James Green, Fred Glass American
    Why Teach Labor History? By James Green any retired union members I know worry that their struggles have been Mforgotten. They fear that few now understand the sacrifices of their forebears who fought for the eight- hour day and the 40-hour week— “the folks who brought you the week- end,” as one union bumper sticker reads. Like the character in Milan Kundera’s novel,1 who believes the struggle against power “is the struggle of memory against forgetting,” the elder generation of union members and retirees I have spoken with believe that ignorance of labor history will disem- power today’s workers and students.

  • Labor and Worklife Program
    LABOR AND WORKLIFE PROGRAM ANNUAL REPORT JUNE 2017 Part One: Report of Activities Summary of Academic Year: 2016-2017 1. Executive Summary The Labor and Worklife Program is Harvard University’s forum for research and teaching on the world of work and its implications for society. The LWP’s activities are in four program areas: the Harvard Trade Union Program (an executive mid-career program for union leaders founded in 1942), the Pensions and Capital Stewardship Project (which focuses on research and public policy concerned with financial security in retirement and pension fund governance, management, and investment), the Science and Engineering Workforce Project (SEWP) (a program mobilizing a dedicated network of researchers for advancing social science understanding of science and engineering), and the Changing Labor Markets Project (CLMP). Additionally, the Labor and Worklife Program administers and awards fellowships on labor and the world of work for the Jacob Wertheim Research Fellowship for the Betterment of Industrial Relationships and the Jerry Wurf Memorial Fund. In all four areas of our work, the LWP has registered significant achievements this year. The Harvard Trade Union Program (HTUP) held its 106th session in spring 2017 with 45 participants, including 16 students from 6 different countries. It continues to be the premier labor education program in the country, while providing a unique opportunity for faculty and students to meet with emerging labor leaders from the US and other advanced industrial countries. The Science and Engineering Workforce Project (SEWP) continued its annual seminar series on issues of concern to the science and engineering workforce. This year’s fall and spring seminars were co-sponsored by the Science Based Business Seminar at the Harvard Graduate School of Business (formerly known as the Science Based Business Initiative at HBS).
