The study has two major foci : the roots of events and their formal and/or informal connections with the people that shaped the global education movement; and the intellectual biographies of James Becker and his life-long colleagues Lee Anderson and Chadwick Alger as they pertain to the subject. This study provides an overview of the last thirty years of global education in that context. International/global studies should be viewed as interdisciplinary, involving the arts, humanities, sciences, technology and mathematics as well as foreign languages and the social studies. Global peace and conflict resolution, global ecology and environmental protection, human welfare and human rights are among the issues that need to be 11 integrated into the curriculum for the youth to be prepared for a world-centered perspective in education as we approach the twenty-first century. This study was conducted employing qualitative inquiry methods with an interpretive/constructivist approach. It has been constructed primarily on interview data gathered from the interviews with James Becker, and Chad Alger and the works of these and other leaders in global education in addition to the primary sources and supporting literature to enhance the historical context. The role of leadership in achieving educational change and continuity through global education was significant especially in generating, developing and promoting the ideas, and in developing the connections between people, agencies, organizations, and institutions through teaching, writing, editing, chairing, lecturing, and taking on various other active duties at such establishments as were influential in educational circles. Dedicated to my parents Makbule Alptekin & Huseyin Alptekin who instilled in me love for home and curiosity about the world IV ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to thank my adviser, Merry M. Merryfield, for her encouragement which made this thesis possible, for her patience in guiding me in design and methods, and her congenial support throughout my doctoral studies. Despite the compelling nature of its subject, this study could have never been completed without the enthusiastic participation, generous assistance, intellectual feedback and continuous support my mentor James M. Becker provided for me. I deeply appreciate the participation of Chadwick F. Alger in the study; his stimulating feedback and continuous support from the very beginning have been invaluable. I wish to thank Suzanne Damarin whose guidance and participation in the committee have been indispensable. I thank Anna Ochoa Becker for her challenging questions and insights throughout the study, and for her hospitality during my stay as a house-guest for the interview sessions. I am grateful to Gene M. Gilliom who first suggested the idea for this study. He created an interesting learning environment for the Global Education Program at the Ohio State University. V I deeply appreciate the opportunity and professional guidance my colleagues at Arizona State University provided for me in completing my study: Dean A1 McHenry, Gary Grossman, Laverne Cook, and Tom Schildgen. I would like to thank Rene and Arthur Harowitz, John Matson, Karim Gyrud, Denise Byrd, Marcia Benzel, and Rose Marietta for their help, and Ozlem Demirel whose support meant a great deal. I am deeply indebted to my wonderful friends Umit S. Ozkan and Erdal Ozkan, Steve Meyer, Sevil Sonraez, Marilyn Ellis, Nalan Kiziltan, Meral Kaya, Asli Koca, Sinan Olkun, Mary Stokrocki, Gulcan Ercetin, Hatice Orun Ozturk, Ismail Tuncer, Jeni Grossman for their scholarly and spiritual contributions. Thanks for being there for me. My heartfelt thanks should reach across the Atlantic to my mother, my sister, and my in-laws who gave me the impetus, and the support to earn my degree. I am most fortunate to have you, Suha, as my lifelong friend and spouse; I would not have completed this task without your encouragement and the trust you placed in me. And to my beautiful children, Ishik and Bahar, thank you for being the driving force behind me in this endeavor. I wish to thank my elementary school teacher Ms. Vecibe Cebeci who instilled in me a lifelong search for knowledge. And to all those global educators, including the late Robert Gilmore, Jan Tucker, and my father, you are most appreciated for being a guiding light in my scholarly life. vi VITA January 11, 1954 .......

DESCRIPTORS *Archives; *Authors; *Females; Modern History; Presidents of the United States; Primary Sources; Resource Materials; Social History; *United States History IDENTIFIERS *First Ladies (United States); *Personal Writing; Public Records; Social Power; Twentieth Century; Womens History ABSTRACT This collection of essays about the Presidential wives of the 20th century through Nancy Reagan. An exploration of the records of first ladies will elicit diverse insights about the historical impact of these women in their times. Interpretive theories that explain modern first ladies are still tentative and exploratory. The contention in the essays, however, is that whatever direction historical writing on presidential wives may follow, there is little question that the future role of first ladies is more likely to expand than to recede to the days of relatively silent and passive helpmates. Following a foreword and an introduction, essays in the collection and their authors are, as follows: "Meeting a New Century: The Papers of Four Twentieth-Century First Ladies" (Mary M.

  • What's in a Name #5 Turner Alley #401 Chartered
    What’s in a Name #5 Turner Alley #401 Chartered July 28, 1969 Cedar Rapids #5 Turner Alley is perhaps the most widely recognized address in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It is the site of a garage loft, which served as home and studio for Grant Wood during the time when the painter created his most famous works. “American Gothic” which brought immediate fame to Wood in 1930, and “Daughters of the Revolution,” both fine examples of Wood’s sensitive use of satire, were painted at #5 Turner Alley. In fact, the ten years he lived there were the painter’ most productive. Best known as a regionalist painter, Wood portrayed Midwestern rural life in many of his works. However, time, energy and inventiveness he expended in making a home at #5 Turner Alley prove that Wood could create in a great variety of media. Wood created a Spanish style home for himself and his widowed mother along with a workshop/studio for himself at #5 Turner Alley. Aided by some of his art students, Wood grooved, sanded, painted and lacquered the floorboards to represent tile. Wood himself hewed the beams and rough-plastered the walls, did the wrought iron work even to forging the iron, designed and made the time-table front door, and invented, perhaps the only fireplace made from a metal bushel basket turned upside down and used as a cowl. The sunken bathtub at #5 Turner Alley was a compromise. Grant Wood wanted a shower, his mother wanted a tub. Therefore, Wood devised a clever system for both.

  • Lou Henry Hoover
    LOU HENRY HOOVER Juliette Low invested Lou Henry Hoover as a Girl Scout in 1917. From then until the end of her life, Lou Henry Hoover was actively engaged in the Girl Scout movement. She was a leader of Troop 8 in Washington, D.C. for ten years; a council member in Palo Alto, California; Chairman of the Girl Scout National Board of Directors; twice elected President of the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A.; and honorary president when her husband was President of the United States. Although she was interested in all of Girl Scouting, the out-of-doors was her special love. An expert and enthusiastic camper, she was eager for all girls to experience camping. Day camping was introduced into Girl Scouting during Mrs. Hoover’s first term as President of Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. Lou Henry Hoover’s love of open spaces and of outdoor living developed as a child when she went camping with her father. On these trips she learned facts and legends about rocks, flowers, trees, birds, and animals, in addition to acquiring skills for living in the outdoors. These childhood experiences prompted her to major in geology at Leland Stanford University. There she met Herbert Hoover and later, a year after she graduated in 1898, married him. Mr. Hoover’s work as a mining engineer took them all over the world. Whether living in China, Mandalay, Japan, Australia, Russia, England, or the United States, Lou Henry Hoover always found and kept a nearby outdoor sanctuary. When the Hoovers went to live in the White House, they found a campsite in the wilderness in Virginia.
