Valued. Trusted. Essential. Management Letter MONTANAPBS 2013 ANNUAL REPORT Valued. Trusted. Essential. Management Letter Dear Members and Friends of MontanaPBS: Through MontanaPBS, Montana’s universities combine forces to offer a valued educational service to our state. From the trusted building blocks of early childhood programs to inspiring and informative offerings for lifelong learners, MontanaPBS provides essential resources and partnerships for learning. While the Montana University System is the home for this service, a diverse group of sources provides support, including individual donors who believe that television can “Be More.” Learn MontanaPBS LearningMedia, an ambitious new offering for teachers and students, is now available to every Montana educator. This innovative service is designed to support education at every age and level. As we expand the resources available on this exciting new platform, we’ll be drawing on decades of experience and great content from our own programs, as well as those of our partners. In the past year, one partner, the PBS Newshour, engaged budding journalists at Missoula’s Sentinel High School. The students learned how to develop news pieces with support from a MontanaPBS professional, earning national recognition for their work. Explore MontanaPBS is proud to be the channel Montanans turn to for compelling stories about our shared national experience. Cable networks are abandoning genres like history, biography, arts and music in favor of reality programming. We remain committed to telling stories that matter, with iconic programs that earn repeated critical acclaim —and an impressive three regional Emmy awards in 2013. Discover Indian Relay, a new feature documentary, highlighted an incredible year of great Montana programming. Additional episodes of iconic local series like Backroads of Montana and Montana Ag Live brought our state’s rich lifestyle and culture to the screen. MontanaPBS also addressed important and pressing social, political and news events through collaborative programming that examined Montana’s gun culture and climate change. We tackled these topics the Montana way—with thoughtful dialogue and respect for differing opinions, rather than sensationalism and partisan conflict. Inspire At MontanaPBS, we believe that arts and culture are part of a complete education and a rich and fulfilling life. MontanaPBS viewers expect the best, and we provide wonderful cultural and artistic treasures they can’t see anywhere else. Whether it’s great drama like Downton Abbey or wonderful music on Great Performances, MontanaPBS provides the best seat in the house. We were particularly proud when our music series, 11th & Grant with Eric Funk, received an Emmy award for the best Arts & Entertainment Program in the Northwest. Even as we look back on the successes of the past year, we look forward to a long list of new programs and enhanced services for Montanans in the year ahead. Thanks to support from individuals, businesses, foundations, organizations and the Montana University System, MontanaPBS continues to expand its reach and provide the valued, trusted and essential programs that contribute to the great quality of life we all enjoy in Montana.

Curious George Courtesy of ® & © 2012 Universal Studios and/or HMH Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood Peg + Cat 4 montanapbs.org MontanaPBS LearningMedia MontanaPBS is expanding MontanaPBS LearningMedia. One of our partners, the Montana Historical Society (MHS), wrote the current Montana history book Stories from the Land, which is used in every district in the state. MHS also commissioned a series of videos, Montana Mosaic, as a supplement to the text. With help from student interns, MontanaPBS has developed more than 35 resources for Learning Media that feature short, classroom-ready videos with materials from the Stories from the Land text, standards, activities, links to online resources and many other materials that the classroom teacher can use. We now have assets that cover homesteading, industry, government and Indian history in Montana, as well as developing resources for other partners and within our own documentary library. MontanaPBS is fortunate to have a Montana teacher as part of the PBS Teacher Core. Lisa Lykins of Glacier High School attended specialized training in Washington, D.C., for LearningMedia. As a media specialist in her school, she distributes Learning Media resources to her teachers based on their needs. With special collections in Middle School Literacy or STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) related lessons, for example, she engages teachers individually. Partnerships with teachers and school districts make our service so much more effective, so we continue to foster these relationships. And these partners have been our most vocal advocates—teachers who use LearningMedia and understand the potential for classrooms across the state conduct professional development for other teachers, like Lisa did when she conducted LearningMedia workshops at the annual MEA and Montana Library conferences this year. The basic Learning Media service is free for all users, but there is a custom service that has more extensive resources, specialized early childhood professional development, and analytics that might be more effective for some schools. We do not know, yet, whether or not theses extras are valuable to schools. Therefore, we are developing a cadre of pilot schools to use these custom service so we can evaluate effectiveness and cost efficacy. Stay tuned for more information in 2014.

  • As Soon As Daniel Brewster Defeated George Wallace in the Mary- Land Presidential Primary, Attention on Capitol Hill Shifted Back to the Civil Rights Bill
    CHAPTER 12 “AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME” As soon as Daniel Brewster defeated George Wallace in the Mary- land presidential primary, attention on Capitol Hill shifted back to the civil rights bill. The negotiations over the final form of the bill continued between Senator Humphrey and Senator Dirksen. Meanwhile, the filibus- ter continued to drag along on the Senate floor. The southern Democrats were becoming fearful that Senator Dirksen really was going to support cloture and enable the Senate to produce a strong civil rights bill. As a result, the southern senators began filibustering late into the evening. The senators from Dixie also became more vehement in their condemnation of the Civil Rights Movement in general and the civil rights bill in particular. Early one evening in late spring, I was exercising my “privilege” to be on the Senate floor and was casually observing the action there. I decided to take a short break from the endless southern speech making and stepped out on the front portico of the Senate wing of the Capitol to get some fresh air. The weather was warm. It was quite pleasant to be outdoors. Standing amidst the marble pillars, I suddenly heard music playing. I glanced over at the center section of the Capitol building. There, on the front steps of the Capitol, with the Capitol dome rising behind them, sat a crowd of people listening to an outdoor band concert. The band was playing on the sidewalk just below the marble steps on 166 ON THE FORWARD EDGE TWO which the people were seated.

    A Justice-Oriented Account of Moral Responsibility for Implicit Bias by Robin Zheng A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Philosophy) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Professor Elizabeth S. Anderson, Chair Professor Sarah Buss Professor Shinobu Kitayama Professor Peter A. Railton © Robin Zheng 2015 To my friends, my family, and the fight, in the broadest senses ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS As an avid reader of acknowledgements, hungry for the human stories behind the work, I regret that I can but barely evoke all the stories of the people mentioned in these pages, without whom I could not have done any of this. My first thanks must go to my first philosophy teachers—Melina Bell, Nathaniel Goldberg, James Mahon, and Angie Smith—as I continue working toward the hopes they had for me, and to my committee—Elizabeth Anderson, Sarah Buss, and Peter Railton—whose conversations on a snowy April drew me here and have never since ceased to enthrall, challenge, and guide me these past six years. To the other wonderful philosophers with whom I have had the privilege of being a colleague, especially my letter- writers, and most especially Jim Joyce, for his valiant labors on the market, and Laura Ruetsche, under whose care as department chair I never felt more able to flourish (and chuckle). Also to my other mentors, Jenny Saul and Kristie Dotson, leading the revolution and keeping us alive. And to the department staff—Linda, Jude, Jen, Kim, and Molly—without whom I officially would never have completed my program requirements.

Actually it is our National Library. To this building flows, from all corners of the country, a torrent of books, for the public laws of the United States state that in order to obtain a copyright on any work of fiction or non-fiction, two copies must first be dispatched to the Library of Congress. That explains why, the last time a count was taken, there were found to be 12,752,000 different titles on the shelves. For each title, a 3 x 5 card is made, out and put into the proper place in drawers that stretch as far as the eye can see. The drawers are 17 inches deep, with 98 cards per inch, except that so many people thumb through these files \\ that the upper right corners of the cards gradually acquire a film of grease and dirt.

I was the Democratic nominee from South Carolina to succeed the legendary J. Strom Thurmond (R-SC). The Republican candidate was Congressman Lindsey Graham.1 Unsurprisingly, I lost. The winners get to write the history, but the losers always tell the best stories. I have resolved to tell the story of my campaign in the form of a book. In doing so, I have struggled no less in art than life. As they say on FOX, I report, you decide. The working title is “The Losers Evening Prayer.” The title is derived from a well-known country music song. In a voice soft and trembling, She’d sing her song to cowboy as a smokey halo circled round her raven hair. And all the fallen angels and pinball playing rounders Stopped the games that they’d been playing for the losers’ evening prayer.

How did thy course begin? And why? Percy Bysshe Shelley3 Why? Why are you running? That is the candidate’s most dreaded question: Why?

  • An Examination of the Progressively Influential Role of Major Party Debates on American Presidential Elections: 1960-2008
    DO THE DEBATES MATTER? AN EXAMINATION OF THE PROGRESSIVELY INFLUENTIAL ROLE OF MAJOR PARTY DEBATES ON AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS: 1960-2008 INTRODUCTION There were fifty-six American presidential elections from 1788 to 2008.1 Only ten of the elections, however, included debates between the major party candidates. These occurred from 1960 to 2008, and there were none before that time.2 In 1960, John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon, who were nominees of the Democratic and Republican parties, respectively, participated in a series of four debates. Television first became a significant factor in presidential politics in 1960 and the appeal of the Kennedy-Nixon debates was that they would be televised.3 Television’s presence, however, overshadowed the even greater phenomenon that the Kennedy-Nixon debates were not only the first televised presidential debates, but they were also the first debates between major party candidates ever to take place.4 From that point until 2008, another twenty- two debates were held between the major party presidential candidates, one between the Republican and Independent nominees, and eight between their running mates.5 1 Irwin Unger, These United States, 2nd Ed., Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice-Hall, 1999, 2003, A18-A21. Unless otherwise noted, a “debate” as defined in this thesis refers to a major party presidential debate, one held between two or more candidates of opposing parties, where at least one of which belongs to a major party (i.e., Democrat or Republican). Not included are debates between intraparty candidates (such as, among Democrats during the primary season) or general elections held exclusively among non-major party candidates (such as debates among the Constitution Party’s, Green Party’s and Libertarian Party’s nominees), but they do include general election debates between major party vice presidential candidates.
