  • In Duchamp's Shadow : Dadaist in the City of Machines
    d IN DUCHAMP’S SHADOW: Dadaist in the City of Machines John Cohassey In Detroit’s Scarab Club, a charming brick 1920s arts and crafts structure is Marcel Duchamp’s signature—thirteen small cryptic letters on a wooden ceiling beam. This talismanic auto­ graph stirred my interest in finding out why and when Duchamp added his name to the collection of signatures in the club’s lounge. I was aware that Duchamp came to Detroit in November 1961 to speak at the Detroit Institute of Arts and re­ ceive an honorary degree from Wayne State University. This being the only information about Duchamp having visited De­ troit of which I knew, I set out to find a link between the Scarab Club signature and his coming to Detroit in 1961. We may never know why Duchamp—who never spoke fondly of history, especially its art movements and “isms” and rejected all facets of aesthetic commercialism—accepted an honorary degree from an urban university so far from the powerful centers of the art world. But for an artist fascinated by the machine and mechanical drawings, Detroit may have been a fitting place for such an honor. At the time of Duchamp’s visit, the seventy­four­year­old artist had emerged from a relatively isolated life in New York City to appear on television and at museum and gallery events. After nearly a half century of bachelorhood (he was married briefly in 1927), Duchamp married again in 1955 and became an American citizen. Unlike many other influential artists, he 11 avoided a self­destructive path.

  • “Profit Splitting, Power Sharing, and Policy Setting: Organized Labor, the Forgotten Fight Against ‘Excess Profits,’ and Economic Amnesia in the Contemporary USA”
    “Profit Splitting, Power Sharing, and Policy Setting: Organized Labor, the Forgotten Fight Against ‘Excess Profits,’ and Economic Amnesia in the Contemporary USA” Daniel A. Graff, Ph.D. Director, Higgins Labor Program at the Center for Social Concerns Professor of the Practice, Department of History University of Notre Dame “Democracy and Inequality in the Americas” ​ ​ A conference co-sponsored by the Kellogg Institute for International Studies and the Initiative for Global Development University of Notre Dame Apr. 8-9, 2019 PLEASE DO NOT CIRCULATE, CITE, or QUOTE without AUTHOR’s PERMISSION When newly-elected Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggested in a recent 60 Minutes interview that top income earners should pay a much ​ ​ higher marginal tax rate than the current 37%, the response by some Republican officials bordered on incredulity. Veteran GOP leaders such as Georgia Congressman Steve Scalise accused Ocasio-Cortez of wanting to tax 70% of individuals’ entire earnings, when in reality she was proposing to tax at that rate only any income above $10 million (and thus impacting an extremely tiny fraction of the richest Americans). The partisan brouhaha was just the latest instance of a deep and disturbing feature of contemporary US political debate: a widespread and at times willful amnesia concerning the history of American attempts to curb excessiveness and promote economic fairness. Throughout much of the twentieth century, Americans confronted extreme income inequality via labor unions, anti-monopoly regulation, and progressive taxation, but for the past four decades those efforts have been largely abandoned, and mostly forgotten -- apparently to the point that some elected officials don’t even understand how marginal tax rates work.

    A PRESERVATION REVOLUTION: RESURRECTING FRANKLIN COURT FOR THE BICENTENNIAL Ryan Zeek Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science in Historic Preservation Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation Columbia University May 2019 Acknowledgments I am greatly indebted to my advisor, Andrew Dolkart, for his guidance and feedback throughout this process. Likewise, I am similarly thankful for the input provided by my readers, Paul Bentel and Will Cook. I received inspiration and support from other faculty members as well, including Michael Adlerstein, Erica Avrami, Françoise Bollack, Chris Neville, Richard Pieper, and Norman Weiss – thank you. I am also very thankful for the support that I received from Tyler Love and Andrea Ashby at the National Park Service’s Independence National Historical Park Archives, as well as from Heather Isbell Schumacher at the University of Pennsylvania’s Architectural Archives. I would also like to thank Franklin Vagnone and Jeffrey Cohen, who kindly lent their time to answer my questions and point me in valuable directions. In addition, I would like to thank Glen Umberger, for it was during a conversation with him while I was an intern at The New York Landmarks Conservancy that the idea for this thesis first entered the world. I am also indebted to the Preservation League of New York State and the Zabar Family Scholarship for their support. Without the members of my cohort, who listened to my ideas and struggles both, and buoyed me up throughout the whole process, this thesis would not have been possible – thank you all for being some of the most incredible colleagues that a preservationist could ever want.
