Usner, Jr. Professor Jane G. Landers Professor Joel Harrington Professor Kathleen Flake Professor James P. Byrd Copyright © 2006 by Nicholas M. Beasley All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS During graduate school, I have enjoyed support from a variety of units within Vanderbilt University. The Department of History generously awarded me a teaching fellowship and a University Graduate Fellowship and supported my research through grants from the Weaver and Binkley Funds. Vital summer funding and new intellectual relationships came from the Vanderbilt Interdisciplinary Seminar in Social and Political Thought and the Center for the Study of Religion and Culture. My final year was supported by a generous dissertation fellowship from the Center for the Americas. Beyond Vanderbilt, I received research support from the Historical Society of the Episcopal Church and a fellowship from the Episcopal Church Foundation. St. George’s Church in Nashville offered me a quiet office and much more. I am profoundly thankful for the support of these institutions and for the people who make them all that they are. That support enabled me to use a variety of research resources. I am thankful for the staff of Vanderbilt’s Central Library, especially Peter Brush, Paula Covington, Marilyn Pilley, and Jim Toplon. Among several archives, I was helped by particularly fine people at the South Carolina Historical Society, the South Carolina Department of Archives and History, the South Caroliniana Library, the Jamaica Archives, and the Barbados Archives.

  • Lessons in Mid-Nineteenth-Century New Brunswick Teacher Careerism
    LESSONS IN MID-NINETEENTH-CENTURY NEW BRUNSWICK TEACHER CAREERISM by Koral LaVorgna BA, University of New Brunswick, 1992 MA, University of New Brunswick, 1996 BEd, St. Thomas University, 2000 A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate Academic Unit of History Supervisors: Gail G. Campbell, PhD, History William Parenteau, PhD, History Examining Board: Margaret Conrad, PhD, History Sasha Mullally, PhD, History Donald Wright, PhD, Political Science External Examiner: Jean Barman, PhD, Education, University of British Columbia This dissertation is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK May 2016 © Koral LaVorgna, 2016 Abstract Early 19th-century teachers, often maligned in popular opinion, were largely misunderstood.The low status of teaching, fuelled by poor pay and even poorer working conditions, reinforced the negative image of teachers. Convinced that only the inept and unqualified would remain in teaching, contemporaries expected longterm careers to be the exception rather than the rule. This study of 19th-century New Brunswick teachers calls both contemporary and scholarly perceptions of teachers into question by examining the experience of teachers in the 1840s, with a particular focus on career teachers. The scholarship on teachers has either provided an occupational profile through systematic analysis of aggregate data, or has presented individual biographies of teachers at work. This study layers a qualitative approach over a quantitative evidentiary base to profile every teacher in the 1842 workforce. In that year, all teaching licences in the province were cancelled and those seeking to take advantage of the government subsidy offered to teachers were required to apply for or renew their licences.
