  • The Politics of Charter School Growth and Sustainability in Harlem
    REGIMES, REFORM, AND RACE: THE POLITICS OF CHARTER SCHOOL GROWTH AND SUSTAINABILITY IN HARLEM by Basil A. Smikle Jr. Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Basil A. Smikle Jr. All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT REGIMES, REFORM, AND RACE: THE POLITICS OF CHARTER SCHOOL GROWTH AND SUSTAINABILITY IN HARLEM By Basil A. Smikle Jr. The complex and thorny relationship betWeen school-district leaders, sub-city political and community figures and teachers’ unions on the subject of charter schools- an interaction fraught with racially charged language and tactics steeped in civil rights-era mobilization - elicits skepticism about the motives of education reformers and their vieW of minority populations. In this study I unpack the local politics around tacit and overt racial appeals in support of NeW York City charter schools with particular attention to Harlem, NeW York and periods when the sustainability of these schools, and long-term education reforms, were endangered by changes in the political and legislative landscape. This dissertation ansWers tWo key questions: How did the Bloomberg-era governing coalition and charter advocates in NeW York City use their political influence and resources to expand and sustain charter schools as a sector; and how does a community with strong historic and cultural narratives around race, education and political activism, respond to attempts to enshrine externally organized school reforms? To ansWer these questions, I employ a case study analysis and rely on Regime Theory to tell the story of the Mayoral administration of Michael Bloomberg and the cadre of charter leaders, philanthropies and wealthy donors whose collective activity created a climate for growth of the sector.

Une vie sans contrainte qui nous apparaît à des années lumière de notre quotidien. Ce vent de liberté d’expression avant l’épidémie du sida transparaît dans cette fresque noir et blanc. Nous sommes très heureux d’exposer pour la première fois en France ce travail d’Arlene Gottfried à la galerie. Une grande dame de la photographie qui mérite d’être mieux connue.

Toute son œuvre s’inscrit dans ce monde urbain très spécifique, qui a constamment nourri sa soif d’observation depuis l’enfance. L’exposition organisée aux Douches présente - pour la première fois à Paris – une sélection de photographies de jeunesse, prises dans les années 70 et 80, lorsqu’elle sillonnait sans cesse Brooklyn à la recherche de lieux vivants, de tronches étonnantes, de scènes de rue insolites. C’est une spontanéité détachée d’ambition qui dessine son parcours. Refusant de faire des études, elle a préféré prendre un emploi de bureau pendant la journée et apprendre la photographie en cours du soir.

  • Family Health Center of Harlem, NY
    Family Health Center of Harlem, NY The Institute for Family Health took over the operation of the primary care clinics in the soon to be closed North General Hospital. This ensured the continuity of care for the medically underserved population of East Harlem. Shortly thereafter, North General Hospital was acquired by the New York City Health and Hospital Corporation as the site for a new Long Term Acute Care Hospital and Skilled Nursing Facility. The plan required the relocation of the IFH space to an office building two blocks away which had been owned by the old North General Hospital . The new Family Health Center of Harlem required a complete renovation and the addition of 2000 sf of floor space on each of the upper floors. The cellar level houses a dental practice which is also a residency site for the Mt. Sinai School of Dentistry. The ground floor serves as a centralized intake client area along with an urgent care center. The Institute for Family Health, second floor houses mental health services 16 East 16th St. along with WIC and outreach services. The third Bronx, NY and fourth floor contain family practice clinics and the fifth floor houses offices for the Family area Practice Residency along with conference 36,450 sf space. This new facility offers much needed primary completion care, mental health and dental care in one 2012 location for the residents of East Harlem. cost Geddis Architects $28 million Geddis Architects Family Health Center of Harlem.

  • Health and Medical Care
    Hoover Press : Thernstrom DP5 HPTHER0800 21-01-01 rev2 page127 Health and Medical Care SALLY SATEL the medical establishment is strongly supportive of racial preferences in admission to medical school. The most active pro- ponent is the Association of American Medical Colleges; the American Medical Association, the federal Council on Graduate Medical Education, and health philanthropies like the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation ad- vocate racial preferences as well. Their goal is not necessarily to promote diversity for its own sake but to improve the health of minority patients. Support for affirmative action programs has indeed become a test of med- ical schools’ commitment to minority health. “This is not a quota born out of a sense of equity or distribution of justice, but a principle that the best health care may need to be delivered by those that fully understand a cultural tradition,” said George Mitchell, the former Senate majority leader and the chairman of the Pew Health Professions Commission.1 It is now claimed that a mismatch in race between doctor and patient— especially when the doctor is white and the patient is not—may be enough to trigger subtle, or not so subtle, biases that result in second-rate medical treatment and poorer health. In 1999 the U.S. Civil Rights Commission Hoover Press : Thernstrom DP5 HPTHER0800 21-01-01 rev2 page128 128 Sally Satel informed Congress that “racism continues to infect” the health care sys- tem.2 No less an authoritative voice than the American Medical Associa- tion’s official newspaper has claimed that “a growing body of research reports that racial discrepancy in health status can be explained, at least in part, by racism and discrimination in the health care system itself.”3 This is why, according to the Reverend Al Sharpton, health will become the “new civil rights battlefront,” a prediction echoed by other black leaders, including the Reverend Jesse Jackson and NAACP Chairman Julian Bond.4 President Clinton himself has spoken of race and health.

What’s less well known is that, in some jurisdictions, deinstitutionalization is an ongoing process. Under the “Transformation Plan” for New York State’s Office of Mental Health (OMH), Governor Andrew Cuomo’s administration has been working to reduce both the average daily census and the total number of beds in state psychiatric centers.
