In his honor, the Leonard K. Elmhirst Memorial Lecture was instituted in 1976 and presented in My- sore, India by T. W. Schultz. Elmhirst drew together a small group of agricultural economists from the United States and the United Kingdom in 1928 to develop plans and a program for what we now think of as the first International Conference of Agricultural Economists held at Dartington Hall, Devon, England in 1929. Fifty agricultural economists from eleven countries met at that first conference. They concluded that such conferences would be of great benefit to agricultural economists throughout the world in increasing their knowledge and under- standing of other peoples and their problems and in promoting mutual understanding and good will. The International Conference of Agricultural Economists was formally organized at the second meeting held in 1930 at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY. The name of the organiza- tion was changed to the International Association of Agricultural Economists at the 1961 conference in Mexico. Fifty agricultural economists from eleven countries met at that first confer- ence. They concluded that such conferences would be of great benefit to ag- ricultural economists throughout the world in increasing their knowledge and understanding of other peoples and their problems and in promoting mutual understanding and good will. Leonard K. Elmhirst was born in York- China and Japan in 1924, and to Argenti- shire, England. He was the second of eight na and Italy in 1925.

Cline ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT DAVID P. CLINE: Revolution and Reconciliation: The Student Interracial Ministry, Liberal Protestantism, and the Civil Rights Movement, 1960-1970 (Under the direction of Jacquelyn Dowd Hall) The Student Interracial Ministry (SIM) was a seminary-based, nationally influential Protestant civil rights organization based in the Social Gospel and Student Christian Movement traditions. This dissertation uses SIM’s history to explore the role of liberal Protestants in the popular revolutions of the 1960s. Entirely student-led and always ecumenical in scope, SIM began in 1960 with the tactic of placing black assistant pastors in white churches and whites in black churches with the goal of achieving racial reconciliation. In its later years, before it disbanded in mid-1968, SIM moved away from church structures, engaging directly in political and economic movements, inner-city ministry and development projects, and college and seminary teaching. In each of these areas, SIM participants attempted to live out German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer's exhortation to “bring the church into the world.” Revolution and Reconciliation demonstrates that the civil rights movement, in both its “classic” phase from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s and its longer phase stretching over most of the twentieth century, was imbued with religious faith and its expression.

LEONARD KNIGHT ELMHIRST, 1893- 1974 PREFACE THE opportunity provided by the generous invitation of the Brazilian Government to hold the 15th International Conference of Agricultural Economists in Sao Paulo was received with deep satisfaction by IAAE members. Not only had they the prospect of excellent facilities at Anhembi Park, S~o Paulo, for the work of a conference but they looked forward to the possibility_ of learning more about the many developments which have taken place in South American countries in recent years, not least about those in Brazil itself. The strong support of the Federal Government of Brazil, the Govern­ ment of the State of Sao Paulo and of many private interests was shown by the distinguished presence of Governor Laudo Natel, who welcomed the Conference, and of Professor Delfim Netto who gave the closing paper. The Organizing Committee was under the chairmanship of Dr Rubens de Araujo Dias, Secretary of Agriculture of the State of Sllo Paulo, assisted by Professor Paulo F. Cidade de Araujo and Dr V. J.

    DA CRIAÇÃO DE DARTINGTON HALL AO TEATRO ESTÚDIO DE MICHAEL Luciana Paula Castilho Barone CHEKHOV: OS PRINCÍPIOS DE COMUNIDADE, EDUCAÇÃO E ATUAÇÃO Luciana Paula Castilho Barone Luciana Paula Castilho Barone1 Mas nós, aqui, batemos as cartas e as pomos como elas vêm (Roland Barhtes) RESUMO: Este trabalho aborda a estruturação da comunidade de Dartington Hall, no Reino Unido, os princípios educacionais e artísticos que ela consolidou entre os anos de 1925 e 1938 e o trabalho de Michael Chekhov nela sistematizado, entre os anos de 1935 e 1938. Para tanto, a autora navega entre sua própria experiência de pesquisa, os diversos eventos (em diferentes períodos ou países) que marcaram a estruturação da comunidade, e as relações que potencializaram a intensa vida artística de Dantington Hall, nos anos de 1930. Localizada em uma área rural em Devon, Inglaterra, Dartington Hall foi fundada por Leonard e Dorothy Elmhirst em 1925, como um experimento educacional que entendia a escola como vida, e não como uma preparação para a vida. Nos anos 1930, diversos artistas começam a desenvolver trabalhos educacionais e artísticos na comunidade, entre eles, o ator e diretor russo Michael Chekhov, que fundou ali seu Teatro Estúdio. A autora busca relacionar o pensamento que estruturou essa comunidade, educacional e artisticamente, aos princípios da técnica de Michael Chekhov, apoiando-se, então, em proposições de filósofos contemporâneos da comunidade, para pensar o papel da alteridade como basilar tanto para Dartington Hall quanto para a técnica chekhoviana. Palavras-chave: imaginação; comunidade; técnica Michael Chekhov; Dartington Hall. FROM THE CREATION OF DARTINGTON HALL TO THE CHEKHOV THEATRE STUDIO: PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNITY, EDUCATION AND ACTING ABSTRACT: This essay approaches the structuring of Dartington Hall community (UK), the educational and artistic principles which were consolidated in it, between 1925 and 1938, and the work of Michael Chekhov systematized in it, between 1935 and 1938.

  • Juli Gatling Book | [email protected] Waiting and Burning Out
    Waiting and Burning Out: War Memory, Psychological Resilience, and Interwar Disillusionment Abstract This article examines interwar peace activism by focusing on the personal emotional process that provokes disillusionment. This study documents how peace aspirations collapsed for two activists during the Washington Naval Disarmament Conference and again at the start of the Second World War. The former destroyed their faith that peace could be obtained through international mediation while the latter prompted a rejection of all interwar peace organizations. This article argues that while war memory often prompted involvement in interwar peace movements, trauma decreased psychological resilience—effectively leaving individuals prone to disillusionment when faced with the political machinery of conflict negotiation. Keywords World War, Memory, Disillusionment, Gender, Peace Activism, Disarmament Trauma decreases resilience and increases the desire to avoid conflict. This article studies this process by following the narrative of two interwar peace activists as they shared their memory of the First World War, their hopes for peace and their eventual rejection of interwar peace organizations at the start of the Second World War. What a society remembers and what it forgets is a telling indicator and for the interwar generation memories of the First World War loomed large.1 It was a trauma that ran deep. For many, this trauma led to an intense commitment to establishing and maintaining a lasting peace. Private memory, especially in the interwar period, is much more difficult to uncover compared to the popular, public memory of events. This case study provides a rare glimpse into the private memory of the First World War—especially that of women.

Revised and updated in July 2010 for website publication at www.spinzialongislandestates.com Please cite as: Spinzia, Raymond E. “In Her Wake: The Story of Alva Smith Vanderbilt Belmont.” The Long Island Historical Journal 6 (Fall 1993):96-105. In Her Wake: The Story of Alva Smith Vanderbilt Belmont by Raymond E. Spinzia . Factors which, in the mid 1840s, encouraged the establishment of estates on the South Shore of New York’s Long Island included: the comradery afforded by the Southside Sportsmen's Club, whose members were among the wealthiest individuals in the nation; the flat terrain, which made it ideally suited to horsemanship; and the sea breezes, which even today make it a sailor's paradise. The South Shore Gold Coast eventually extended from Babylon to Bayport. By and large, these estates were originally perceived as rustic hideaways for the rapidly increasing number of Manhattan and Brooklyn millionaires. Indeed, by the 1880s Long Island's South Shore was considered a chic place in which to vacation.1 William Kissam Vanderbilt Sr. was the most prominent of the South Shore millionaires and his wife, Alva, without doubt, was the most ambitious. Indeed it was Alva who propelled the Vanderbilt family into the rarefied air of society's famous “Four Hundred.” Alva Vanderbilt She was born on January 17, 1853, in Mobile, Alabama, to Murray Forbes Smith, a successful cotton broker, and Phoebe Desha Smith, the daughter of General and Tennessee Congressman Robert Desha. Her uncle was Kentucky's Governor Joseph Desha, from whom President Lyndon Baines Johnson could also trace his ancestry.2 A year or so prior to the outbreak of the Civil War, Alva's father moved his family to New York City.

  • Accommodating Ongoing Subjective Experience in the Presentation of Heritage Landscape
    EMBODIED KNOWLEDGE OF LANDSCAPE: ACCOMMODATING ONGOING SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE IN THE PRESENTATION OF HERITAGE LANDSCAPE BY SONAL MITHAL MODI DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor David L. Hays, Chair Professor D. Fairchild Ruggles Professor Jennifer Monson Assistant Professor Rini Bhattacharya Mehta Abstract This dissertation frames a new approach to the presentation of heritage landscape, taking into account the emergent priority of ongoing subjective experience in heritage discourse. The dissertation advocates for a shift in heritage theory and practice based on an understanding of “embodied knowledge” of landscape—meaning, recognition of individual, corporeal experience as a defining aspect of landscape. The research question that this dissertation explores is: How can a progressive understanding of landscape, based on new thinking about embodied knowledge, contribute to the theory and practice of heritage landscape? The research question and argument are explored through close study of a specific site: Śāntiniketan, India. As India’s 2010 nomination to UNESCO’s World Heritage List, Śāntiniketan is currently under consideration for designation, and the role of subjective experience in shaping its character makes this an ideal moment to reassess the process through which it and other sites are nominated and evaluated. The corporeal body is the locus for this study, which builds upon the prevailing phenomenological stances towards the body. Those stances critique the way Cartesian intellectualism has prioritized the mind over the body, and they reposition the body as an essential site of knowledge production.
