Huening, Michael. "Public School Desegregation in America: How School Desegregation Became the Most Important Medium for Advancing Social Justice." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2013. https://dc.etsu.edu/honors/171.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this work is to identify the particular changes in the movement for social justice for African Americans. Great strides in the advancement of social justice began just after the Second World War. Issues of ideology, foreign policy, advancement in education, and growing activism led to what is known as the Civil Rights Movement. The Civil Rights Movement was a determined effort by African Americans and their supporters to eliminate legal and societal oppression. Measured by the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Act of 1965, and the equal opportunity employment section of Lyndon Johnson’s Executive Order 11246, the movement was considered a success. Those victories certainly helped African Americans experience greater equality and opportunities to better their lives. The fact remains, however, that there was more work to be done.
This work will argue that social justice was advanced in large part because of the public school system. The public education system in America was and still is imperative to eradicating social injustice. Important new laws and policies regarding public schools such as affirmative action, the busing mandates, and the Elementary and Secondary Act of 1965 helped to bring social justice into the realm of possibility for African Americans. This work will show how the public education system was used in the struggle to secure social justice for African Americans in the years following the Civil Rights movement.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (D.M.A.)--Boston UniversityThe Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and Performing Arts in New York City was formed through a merger of two existing arts high schools in 1961-- the High School of Music and Art and School of Performing Arts. Although the High School of Music and Art's history has been well documented, no studies have documented the histories of the School of Performing Arts and the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and Performing Arts. Therefore, this concise history of the development of the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Arts and Performing Arts in New York City fills a gap in current historical literature. Research questions focused on (1) the founding of the two independent performing arts high schools and their amalgamation into the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and Performing Arts; (2) key personnel and their role in facilitating the merger; (3) the shaping forces of the philosophies/missions/visions of the two independent high schools on the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and the Performing Arts; (4) how the music curriculum of the High School of Music and Art and School of Performing Arts helped shape the music curriculum of the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and Performing Arts, and (5) students' musical activities throughout the school's history. Research methodologies included consulting primary and secondary sources and interviewing former and current administrators, students, alumni, friends, and other key personnel from each of the three schools. I discuss music education challenges with implications for music educators and administrators, as well as political leaders and members of communities at large engaged in providing education at similar mis high schools. From the schools' rich independent beginnings to their turbulent transitional years, where the amalgamation and relocation took nearly a quarter century to complete, the school remains a model for subsequent specialized arts high schools in the nation.

Full textAbstract:
Founded in 1851, the Stourbridge School of Art offered instruction in drawing, art and design to students engaged in industries, especially glass. Using social history methodology and primary sources such as Government reports, local newspapers and school records, this thesis explores the school’s development from 1850 to 1905 and explicates its relationships with the local glass industry. Within the context of political, economic, social and cultural forces, the school contributed to the town’s civic culture and was supported by gentry, clergy and industrialists. The governing Council held public meetings and art exhibitions and dealt with management issues. Working class men attended evening classes. Women from wealthy families attended morning classes. This thesis argues that a fundamental disconnect existed between the school’s purpose (art instruction to train designers) and its instruction (basic drawing and fine art). The school enrolled men employed in glass decorating but few from glass manufacturing. Classes reflected the South Kensington curriculum, and the art masters were unaware of the design needs of industry. Glass manufacturing firms provided modest financial support but did not encourage employees to attend, creating frustration for the Council. In contrast, similar schools in Brierley Hill and Wordsley were well-supported by the glass industry.

Full textAbstract:
Mountain Mission School of Grundy, Virginia, founded by Samuel Robinson Hurley in 1921, is an anomaly of the mission school era of 1880 to 1940. Unlike other mission schools, Mountain Mission School was independent from its inception and was founded by a self-taught, self-made millionaire from southwest Virginia. The school's purpose to "reclaim" the child from material and spiritual poverty lay in Hurley's desire to develop a child's mind, body, and soul through a Christian, industrial education. Through personal commitment to the school and tireless fund-raising efforts for the school, he inspired others to continue the mission he began. Primary sources from Radford University, Milligan College, and Mountain Mission School, plus contemporary articles published in the Christian Standard, defend these claims.

Haveric, Dzavid. "History of the Bosnian Muslim Community in Australia: Settlement Experience in Victoria." full-text, 2009. http://eprints.vu.edu.au/2006/1/Dzavid_Haveric.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the settlement experience of the Bosnian Muslims in Victoria. Overall this research exploration takes places against background of the history of the immigration to Australia. The study covers migration patterns of Bosnian Muslims from post World War 2 periods to more recent settlement. The thesis provides contemporary insights on Bosnian Muslims living in a Western society such as Australia. The thesis excavates key issues about Islam and the Muslim communities in Western nations and argues that successful settlement is possible, as demonstrated by the Bosnian Muslim community. By adopting a socio-historical framework about settlement, the thesis reveals the significant, interconnected and complex aspects of the settlement process. Settlement of immigrants takes place within global, historical, economic, political, social and cultural elements of both the sending and receiving countries. Thus any study of settlement must examine theories and concepts on migration, settlement, religion, culture, integration and identity. The purpose for migration, the conditions under which migration takes place, the conditions of immigrant reception are fundamental in the context of Australia. Furthermore, Australia since the 1970s has adopted a policy of multiculturalism which has changed settlement experiences of immigrants. These elements are strongly analysed in the thesis both through a critical conceptual appraisal of the relevant issues such as migration, multiculturalism and immigration and through an empirical application to the Bosnian Muslim community. The theoretical element of the study is strongly supported by the empirical research related to settlement issues, integration and multiculturalism in Victoria. Through a socio-historical framework and using a ‘grounded theory’ methodological approach, field research was undertaken with Bosnian Muslim communities, Bosnian organizations and multicultural service providers. In addition, historical data was analysed by chronology. The data provided rich evidence of the Bosnian Muslims’ settlement process under the various governmental policies since World War 2. The study concluded that the Bosnian community has successfully integrated and adapted to the way of life in Australia. Different cohorts of Bosnian Muslims had different settlement patterns, problems and issues which many were able to overcome. The findings revealed the contributions that the Bosnian Muslim community has made to broader social life in Australia such as contribution to the establishment of multi-ethnic Muslim communities, the Bosnian Muslim community development and building social infrastructure. The study also concluded that coming from multicultural backgrounds, the Bosnian Muslims understood the value of cultural diversity and contributed to the development of Australian multiculturalism and social harmony. Overall conclusion of this research is that the different generations of Bosnian Muslims are well-integrated and operate well within Australian multiculturalism.

Jordan, Amanda Shrader. "Faith in Action: The First Citizenship School on Johns Island, South Carolina." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2008. https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/1964.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the first Citizenship School, its location, participants, and success. Johns Islanders, Esau Jenkins, Septima Clark, Myles Horton, Bernice Robinson, and the Highlander Folk School all collaborated to create this school. Why and how this success was reached is the main scope of this manuscript. Emphasis is also placed on the school's impact upon the modern Civil Rights Movement. Primary sources such as personal accounts, manuscripts, and archive collections were examined. Secondary sources were also researched for this manuscript. The conclusion reached from these sources is that faith was the driving force behind the success of the Citizenship School. The schools unlocked the chains of political, social, and economic disenfranchisement for Gullah Islanders and African Americans all over the South, greatly affecting the outcome of the Civil Rights Movement. African Americans, who had once been forced into second-class citizenship, now through faith and the vote, obtained first-class citizenship.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis briefly reviews Peace Studies and Peace Education in general and then, it focused on the REM (Reconstructive-Empowering) Approach (Herrero Rico, 2013) of Peace Education as its theoretical framework. This REM approach proposes concepts, methodologies and contexts that promote Cultures of Peace.
The thesis continues to propose tools and methodologies for secondary education contexts that promote the REM Approach. Among them, the Life History methodology is chosen as the methodological framework for the applied part of the thesis. Thus, the last two chapters focus on the life story of the author of the thesis, both in her personal and professional life, especially as a high school teacher. For this purpose, her first-person narrative is included, contrasted with the perspective of more than forty acquaintances and with a reflection on what has been learned, putting it in dialogue with the REM approach.Esta tesis revisa brevemente los Estudios de Paz y la Educación para la Paz en general y elige como marco teórico el Enfoque REM (Reconstructivo-Empoderador) (Herrero Rico, 2013) de Educación para la Paz, el cual propone conceptos, metodologías y contextos para promover Culturas de Paz. La tesis continúa proponiendo herramientas y metodologías para utilizar en contextos de educación secundaria que promueven el Enfoque REM. Entre ellos, se elige la metodología de Historia de Vida como marco metodológico en el que se basa la parte aplicada de la tesis. Así, los dos últimos capítulos se centran en la historia de vida de la autora de la tesis, tanto en su vida personal como profesional, especialmente como profesora de secundaria. Para ello, se incluye su narrativa en primera persona, contrastada con la perspectiva de más de cuarenta conocidos y con una reflexión sobre lo aprendido, poniéndolo en diálogo con el enfoque REM.

Mullican, Carey. "Multiple Intelligences in the Text: Examining the Presence of MI Tasks in the Annotated Teacher's Editions of Four High School United States History Textbooks." Scholar Commons, 2012. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/4178.
Full textAbstract:
The current state of the social studies classroom comprises one of uninspired students using unexciting textbooks as their guide for learning U.S. history (Hope, 1996; NCES, 1993; Banks, 1990; Wakefield, 2006). With multiple intelligences gaining popularity in education, renewed hope exists for social studies to produce quality textbooks with differentiated instruction to reach all learners. The purpose was to design a rubric for measuring the presence of multiple intelligences structured tasks in teacher's editions of four 11th grade U.S. history textbooks. Using 1995 to 2007 as a purposeful sample of consistent authorships and similar publications, the study looked at teacher's editions of U.S. history textbooks to create a reliable and valid rubric for measuring the presence of multiple intelligences tasks in the teacher's editions of four high school history textbooks. Using this analytical rubric, the researcher analyzed trends of tasks offered in teacher's editions of textbooks to determine whether multiple intelligences tasks were being offered. Findings suggested that teacher's editions do reflect a MI/directive framework over a non-directive framework, with MI/directive tasks appearing much more frequently. However, linguistic/verbal tasks were more likely to appear as the MI/directive task of choice over other categories. Changes were noted in number of tasks found in mid-1990s editions to mid-2000s editions with a decrease in verbal/linguistic and spatial/visual tasks in The Americans. Yet Pathways to the Present saw an increase in spatial/visual tasks. Hence, it is implied that textbook publishers have not embraced MI whole-heartedly and have not met all learner's needs in terms of curriculum design. Furthermore, textbooks authors and publishers need to incorporate more variety in learning tasks to include other categories of multiple intelligences.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka populärkulturens didaktiska egenskaper. Detta görs utifrån resonemang av historielärare på mellanstadiet.Syftet utgår från tre forskningsfrågor där tanken är att undersöka om lärarna använder populärkultur i sin historieundervisning och hur de i så fall motiverar användandet av detta. Den sista forskningsfrågan undersöker om lärarna anser att populärkultur kan bidra med förmågor och kunskaper hos eleverna, så som historisk empati. Undersökningen görs genom kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem historielärare på mellanstadiet, lärarna är i olika åldrar och har arbetat som historielärare i olika utsträckning. Det är lärarnas svar som sedan analyseras utifrån forskning om populärkultur samt historisk empati. Resultatet visar att lärarna är positiva till användande av några former av populärkultur i historieundervisningen. Dock framkommer det också olika slags problemfaktorer, så som tidsbrist, lärarnas engagemang samt deras syn på populärkultur, vilket spelar en stor roll i användandet av populärkultur i undervisningen.

Full textAbstract:
From the late nineteenth century, works inspired by Western art spread to China and Korea through Japan. Thus, Western art came to be accepted in China and Korea as a reinterpretation of Japan’s development of Western art, rather than a direct transmission from Western sources. This act of reinterpretation went on to have a lasting effect on the practice of Western-style painters in East Asia with their own acceptance modes. This thesis provides a study of self-portraits and nude paintings, two categories of painting without precedent in East Asia prior to the late nineteenth century, created by Kuroda Seiki, Li Shutong, Go Hui-dong, and Kim Gwan-ho in order to illustrate how East Asian countries established their own versions of modern art.

Full textAbstract:
In the years around 1950 the first Music Schools – organized by the municipalities – started in Sweden. They were a result of local initiatives. They were not a part of the national school system. Instead their focus was on creating opportunities for children to learn to play an instrument in their spare time. They became so common that in 1970 they could be found in almost every municipality in Sweden. Even so, they were never authorised or controlled by the state. In this thesis I try to describe the ideology of the first local music schools around the year 1950. I try to find out what kind of traditions, ideas and other influences that shaped this ideology. I do that by comparing the ideology of the music schools to the characteristics of the popular education (in German: Bildung). Thereafter I try to do the same with the development of Schools of Arts around the year 1990. I do that in a hermeneutic tradition by using an idea- and ideology analysis from social sciences. My research questions are: Could the ideologi of the first music schools be described by comparing it with the characteristics of ”bildung”. Could the ideologi of the first schools of Arts be described by comparing it with the characteristics of ”bildung”. The ideology of the music schools was strongly influenced by the voluntary music education in grammar schools. That meant that the education was organized in semesters, one lesson per week and one child at a time. More focus was on the development of every childs´ability to play an instrument, less on the possibility to play together with other children or to sing. The ideology of the music schools was also influenced by popular education (Bildung). The schools aimed to give equal opportunities to all children to learn to play an instrument and learn about the ”good culture”. With that expression was meant classical music. The answer to my first question is that the ideologi of the music shools were influenced both from grammar schools and the ”bildung”- movement. In the years around 1990 many Music Schools had developed into Schools of Arts. They included education in dance, drama/theatre, visual art and film/movie. In the same way as the first music schools were born, the first Schools of Art developed in a local context. Some of them found a closer cooperation with the obligatory school but all continued to be independent. The structure of Schools of Arts were in many ways a continuation of the music schools. They were also organized in semesters, one lesson a week etc. In the same time they were a part of the a new trend which meant they were more interested in the creative possibilities for the children, cooperation and the opportunities to be on stage. They also had a broader wiew on what ”good culture” was. The answer on my second question is that the ideologi of the Schools of Arts in some extent are a part of the ”Bildung”-movement but at the same time they are more focused in collaborating with the obligatory school system and are more influenced by instrumental goals like being part of devolopment of new industries in the society. To some extent they are less influenced by ”Bildung” than the first music Schools. There are even today more than 200 000 children taking part in the Schools of Arts. (Including those who are still named Music Schools) In such a big professsionel organisation in most of the Swedish communities it is very surprising that they have developed without a national agenda.I slutet av 1940-talet bildades de första kommunala musikskolorna med det namnet. Deras bakgrund var dels den frivilliga instrumentalundervisning som erbjöds på läroverken, privat undervisning – inte minst på piano – samt undervisning inom militärmusiken och orkesterföreningar. Allt detta smälte samman till musikcirklar – ofta drivna av studieförbund – som sedan nästan undantagslöst drevs vidare i form av kommunala musikskolor. De lokala variationerna var många. På 1970-talet hade i stort sett alla kommuner en kommunal musikskola. I denna uppsats försöker jag beskriva de första kommunala musikskolornas ideologi runt år 1950, och sedan även beskriva de första kommunala kulturskolornas[1] ideologi runt år 1990. Detta gör jag genom att tolka de idéer, traditioner och ambitioner som kan ses i offentliga dokument, vetenskapliga texter och andra dokument som beskriver pedagogiska idéer som fanns och påverkade beslutsfattandet. Jag gör detta i en hermeneutisk tradition genom en idé- och ideologianalys hämtad från samhällsvetenskapen. Metodiskt arbetar jag med begreppet dimensioner. Dessa utgår från de begrepp som karakteriserar bildning. På så sätt använder jag bildningen som ett raster för att tydligare se musikskolornas och kulturskolornas respektive ideologi. Mina forskningsfrågor är: Kan de första kommunala musikskolornas ideologi beskrivas i relation till bildningsbegreppet? Kan de första kommunala kulturskolornas ideologi beskrivas i relation till bildningsbegreppet? Bildningsbegreppet jag använder är hämtat från Gustavssons och Varkøys beskrivningar av vad som kännetecknar bildning: Lärandet är en fri process Lärandet skapar sammanhang Lärandet skapar jämlikhet eller ojämlikhet Lärandet är icke-instrumentellt Organisationen av undervisningen på musikskolorna var starkt präglad av läroverken. Den innebar att musikskolorna var organiserade i terminer, en lektion i veckan och med starkt fokus på individen. Den enskilde elevens kunskaper i hanterandet av sitt instrument kom i första rummet, före samspel, eget skapande och även sång/körsång. Den ideologi som präglade musikskolorna hade samtidigt ett starkt folkbildande inslag. Alla barn skulle i demokratisk anda få möjlighet att både lära sig spela ett instrument och ta del av den goda kulturen. Med det senare avsågs främst den klassiska musiken. Svaret på min första forskningsfråga är att de första musikskolornas ideologi i hög grad var påverkad av bildningsbegreppet men att den samtidigt var starkt påverkad av traditionen från läroverk och folkskola. De kommunala kulturskolorna övertog senare mycket av musikskolornas ideologi. Samtidigt var ideologin i den tidens anda präglat av ett större intresse för elevernas eget skapande, för samverkan och att alla elever också skulle framträda. Flera kulturskolor sökte också få en ökad betydelse genom ett närmande till den obligatoriska skolan. Deras ideologi präglades också i hög grad av instrumentella mål som transfereffekter vid inlärning av andra skolämnen, lokaliseringsfaktorer m.fl. Svaret på min andra forskningsfråga är att de första kommunala kulturskolorna ideologiskt i viss mån var en del av bildningsrörelsen. Samtidigt önskade de bli en del av det obligatoriska skolväsendet och motiverade sin existens med instrumentella mål, varför de kan sägas alltmer ta avstånd från att bygga på en ideologi präglad av bildning. Med tanke på musik- och kulturskolorna storlek, över 200 000 deltagare, är det förvånande att all utveckling av dem skett genom lokala initiativ och att samordning och utveckling på nationell nivå i stort sett varit helt frånvarande under de epoker jag berör i denna uppsats. De kommunala musikskolorna, senare kulturskolorna, dominerades av ett görande, av enskilda lärares egna modeller för undervisning, i högre grad än formulerande av en genomtänkt ideologi eller för den delen metodik. [1] De kommunala kulturskolorna benämns oftast som ”kulturskolor”. I den statliga politik som beslutats under uppsatsens tillkomst benämns de som ”kommunala kulturskolor”. Jag använder därför det begreppet men för att göra texten lättare att läsa använder jag ibland de enklare formerna ”musikskola” och ”kulturskola”. De står för samma sak.

Full textAbstract:
This essay takes a look at which gender norms and stereotypes can be found in high-school history textbooks, and the values that they pass on to the students who read them. By analysing the textbooks from both a text and image perspective, a rounded view of the values and ideals concerning power and gender that the books contain can be seen. The use of gender theory gives the essay a clear theoretical framework through which the material is analysed. The result showed that the history textbooks over all contained an outdated view of gender roles and gender dynamics. There was a clear overrepresentation of men in both the text and the pictures throughout the books, and the language used created a hierarchy between men and women. This in turn sends outdated messages to students, messages which may not fit the current ideal of gender equality.

The thesis presented here defends the existence of a Visual Art course in the subsoil of the School of Arts and Architecture and explores the idea of a repression of this content, which returns to the surface in the form of symptoms. The structure in notebooks seeks to solve the singularities of from each approach of this phenomenon. This research stitches memories that oat within a the School of Art and Architecture of Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás. It gives special attention to the fragments relative to the practice of drawing in itself and the factors that surround it. Freud, Rüssen, Didi Huberman and Ricouer bless and get along in these chapters that describe the Arts and Architecture School of UCG (Escola de Artes e Arquitetura da UCG): Freud, opening the rst notebook, inspires every remark in the text that show how psique, inevitable path to the historic content, changes it. Lacan grounds the drawing of a map named the Interpretation of the Freudian psychic system, while Rüssen orients the conceptualization of the sources. In the second notebook, Didi Huberman brings to the text the idea of collage as an instrument of an assembly that carries meaning within itself. This concept was used both to organize the complexity that lies around the beings drawing, architecture, teaching methodology, arts and artists, and also strongly inspired the assembly of this very thesis, organized in notebooks, built by blocks of text that keep between them the gaps of collage. Still on notebook 2, the text makes an exercise with Paul Ricoeur, countering the relativization of any past with the statement that it only exists through the mediation of the present, with a positivist stream of historiographical praxis, both in classes previous to graduation, as in graduation courses, such as Architecture and Urbanism. In the third notebook, this problematization, applied to the very school’s contingencies, is better felt, through the exposing of documents: images with syllabi, programs, drawings and illustrations. In notebook IV, the bid is of a discourse in images, which not only illustrate the propositions in other notebooks, but also propose a visual narrative of free collage. To achieve this e ect we made two versions, one online and one printed. In the rst, the diagramming takes care that the images and phrases have white space of reverberation around each other. In the printed version, we use detached blades so that the reader can examine them separately. Furthermore, the images speak for itself. Literally.
A tese aqui apresentada, defende a existência de um curso de Artes Visuais no subsolo da Escola de Artes e Arquitetura, e explora a ideia de ter havido uma operação de recalque desse conteúdo, que retorna `a superfície em forma de sintomas. A estruturação em cadernos busca solucionar a singularidades de cada aproximação desse fenômeno. Essa pesquisa costura retalhos das memórias que utuam dentro da Escola de Artes e Arquitetura da PUC Goiás. Dá atenção especial aos fragmentos relacionados `a prática de desenho em si e os fatores que a envolvem. Apoia-se numa constelação de autores para construir um pensamento teórico em forma de cadernos que aponta para a historiogra a como o corte possível dado sobre o que de fato é a vida, um uxo de impermanências. Freud, Rüssen, Didi Huberman e Ricouer apadrinham e convivem em capítulos que apresentam a Escola de Artes e Arquitetura da UCG: Freud abrindo o primeiro caderno, inspira todas as pontuações do texto que mostram como a psiquê, caminho inevitável do conteúdo histórico, o altera. Lacan fundamenta o desenho de um mapa denominado a Interpretação do Sistema Psíquico Freudiano enquanto Rüssen orienta na conceituação das fontes. No segundo caderno, Didi Huberman leva ao texto a ideia de colagem como instrumento de uma montagem que porta signi cado em si. Esse conceito foi usado tanto para organizar a complexidade que há em torno dos entes desenho, escola, arquitetura, metodologias de ensino, arte e artistas, quanto inspirou fortemente a montagem da própria tese, organizada em cadernos, compostos de blocos de texto que mantém entre si as lacunas típicas da collage. Ainda no caderno 2, o texto faz um exercício com Paul Ricoeur contrapondo a relativização de qualquer passado pela a rmação de que esse só existe através da mediação do presente, com uma prática historiográ ca positivadora corrente, tanto nas aulas anteriores a uma graduação, quanto dentro dos cursos de graduação como arquitetura e urbanismo. No terceiro caderno sentimos melhor essa problematização aplicada `as próprias contingências da Escola através da exposição dos documentos: imagens com ementas, programas, desenhos e ilustrações. No caderno IV, a proposta é de um discurso em imagens, que não só ilustram as proposições presentes nos outros cadernos quanto também propõem uma narrativa visual de montagem aberta. Para alcançar esse efeito zemos duas versões, uma on line e outra impressa. Na primeira, a diagramação cuida para que as imagens e frases tenham espaço branco de reverberação em torno de si. Na versão impressa, utilizamos lâminas desprendidas para que o leitor possa examiná-las separadamente. Ademais, as imagens falam por si. Literalmente.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the study was to investigate wheter a feminization process is taking place in the Swedish school profession in Södertälje during the 1920s. This is a turbulent period for women in Sweden in terms of their human rights and in connection whit this, a change is taking place in the Swedish “småskolan”, where most of the female teachers work. An integration between the “folkskolan” and the “småskolan” takes place, which results in that the “småskolan” profession disapears. It is Christina Florin and her theories of feminization that underlie the work. It is Florin´s previous research on feminization in the “småskolan” that took place 50 years earlier that helps lay the theory of the essay. The questions from which the survey was based on is: 1. What was the gender distribution in recruitment to “folkskolllärar” positions in Södertälje 1920-1925? 2. What were the backgrounds of those recruited to “folkskollärar” positions in Södertälje during the time period? 3. How does the feminization manifest in “folkskollärar” positions in Södertälje? Is there a clear feminization process? The source material that has been used to answer the questions has come from Södertäje stadsarkiv and Södertälje föreningsarkiv. It is information in the form of protocols and journals written by, among others, skolverket that has been analyzed and presented in a case study from a micro historical perspective. What the study ends up showing is that there is a form of a feminization process within the “folkskola” in Södertälje during the 1920s. A majority of men leave the profession and at the same time as more women come in. The women in this profession receive a higher salary and a higher status thanks to the new professional title they now hold.Syftet med studien som har gjorts var att undersöka om det sker en feminiseringsprocess i folkskolläraryrket i Södertälje under 1920-talet. Detta är en turbulent period för kvinnor i Sverige när det gäller deras mänskliga rättigheter och i samband med detta så sker en förändring inom småskolan där till största del kvinnor jobbar. En integrering mellan folkskolan och småskolan sker vilket gör att småskollärarprofessionen försvinner och det blir en gemensam yrkeskår. Det är Christina Florin och hennes teorier gällande feminisering som ligger i grund för arbetet. Det är Florins tidigare forskning gällande feminisering inom småskolan som skedde 50 år tidigare som hjälper att lägga en teoribildning. Frågeställningen som undersökningen har utgått ifrån är: 4. Hur såg den könsmässiga fördelningen i rekryteringen till folkskollärarbefattningar ut i Södertälje 1920–1925? 5. Vilken bakgrund hade de som rekryterades till folkskollärarbefattningar i Södertälje under perioden? 6. Hur visar sig feminiseringen i folkskollärarbefattningar i Södertälje? Finns det en tydlig feminiseringsprocess? Källmaterialet som har används för att besvara på frågeställningen har kommit från Södertälje stadsarkiv och Södertäljes föreningsarkiv. Det är information i form av protokoll och journaler som skrivits av bland annat skolverkat som ur ett mikrohistorisktperspektiv analyserats och framställs i en fallstudie. Undersökningen visar i slutändan är att det sker en form av feminiseringsprocess inom folkskolan i Södertälje under 1920-talet. En majoritet män försvinner från professionen samtidigt som fler kvinnor kommer in. Kvinnorna inom denna profession får en högre lön och en högre status tack vare den nya yrkestiteln de innehar.

Full textAbstract:
The Great Plains are prevalent among the literature of the nineteenth century, but receive hardly a single representation among the landscapes of the Hudson River School. This is certainly surprising; the public was teeming with interest in the Midwest and yet the principal landscape painters who aimed to represent and idealize a burgeoning America offered hardly a glance past the Mississippi River. This geographical silence is the result of a tension between idealistic and empirical representations of the land, one echoed in James Fenimore Cooper’s The Prairie, Washington Irving’s A Tour on the Prairies, and Margaret Fuller’s Summer on the Lakes, in 1843. Margaret Fuller’s more physical and intimate Transcendentalism unifies this tension in a manner that heralds the rise of the Luminists and the plains-scapes of Worthington Whittredge.

The aim of this study is to investigate how Swedish and French high school pupils relateto their respective mother tongues. It is a comparative study that seeks to examine thisrelationship from three perspectives: individual, society and history. An additionaloverall perspective in the study is school. The theoretical foundation for the studyconsists of earlier research on the topic and official steering documents for the subjectof Swedish in Swedish high school and corresponding texts about the subject of Frenchin French high school. In-depth interviews have been conducted with two Swedish andtwo French high school pupils. The study shows that the mother tongue is of greatsignificance for personal development and self-esteem for pupils in both countries. Theoutlook on language and society and language and history is more complex and theinformants’ answers show greater variation. Two different attitudes to education andlearning emerge. An important conclusion of the study is that the difference noted in theoutlook on language and society in the steering documents is also found in the highschool pupils’ discourses.

Previous issue date: 2013-02-25This thesis is a study about the Fine Arts School of Pelotas Escola de Belas Artes de Pelotas (EBA or EBAP) , a higher education art teaching institution that had great importance to the visual arts development in the city of Pelotas, being at the origin of the present Centro de Artes of the Universidade Federal de Pelotas (CEARTE/UFPEL). The work inserts itself in the teaching institutions history field and is anchored to the theoretical proposal of Cultural History and Education Sociology. The time period examined runs from1949 to 1973, limits that correspond respectively to the year of the foundation and the year when the private school became a federal institution, being incorporated to the Universidade Federal de Pelotas. The thesis aims to understand why EBA embraces academicism as its art style and pedagogical method in the mid 20th century, when modern art is being generally embraced, and keeps this preference until the end of the sixties. It also seeks to ascertain how the School has been kept functioning during its 24 years of existence being private and free of charge. The work has been developed by means of collection and analysis of documents. The main source of the documents are the institution‟s archives, the founder‟s family records, interviews with people that lived the School‟s genesis and evolution, newspaper material of the period, and the founder‟s diary. We reached the conclusion that the EBA not only has been founded but also has been maintained thanks to the efforts of Pelotas‟ cultural elite which supported and effectively participated in the project, always under the leadership of Dona Marina de Moraes Pires. This participation occurred in such a way, in such a close relationship, that EBA configured itself as a reflection of that elite, being made in its image and likeness, with the same values, the same mentality and from the same imagination. Hence, the characteristic academicism of the institution, of its teaching form and artistic production has been determined by factors that existed in the society within which it arise and developed itself, such as conservatism. And the School, being a higher education art teaching institution, legitimates academicism, thus influencing the History of Art in Pelotas.
Esta tese é um estudo sobre a Escola de Belas Artes de Pelotas (EBA ou EBAP), instituição de ensino de arte de nível superior que teve grande importância para o desenvolvimento das artes visuais da cidade de Pelotas, sendo a origem do atual Centro de Artes da Universidade Federal de Pelotas (CEARTE/UFPel). O trabalho se insere no campo de estudo da história das instituições educacionais, e está ancorado na proposta teórica da História Cultural e na Sociologia da Educação. A delimitação temporal é de 1949 a 1973, correspondendo às datas de sua fundação e de sua federalização, quando deixa de ser uma escola particular e passa a fazer parte da Universidade Federal de Pelotas. Os objetivos da tese são entender por que a EBA adota o academicismo como seu estilo e método pedagógico, em meados do século XX, época de adoção do modernismo, e o mantém até o final dos anos sessenta, e também descobrir como a Escola se manteve em funcionamento durante os seus 24 anos de existência, sendo particular e gratuita. O trabalho foi desenvolvido por meio da coleta e análise de documentos. As principais origens dos documentos são o acervo da Instituição, o acervo da família da fundadora, entrevistas realizadas com pessoas que viveram a gênese e a trajetória da Escola, matérias de jornais da época e o diário da fundadora. Conclui-se que a EBA foi não só fundada, como também sustentada, pelos esforços da elite cultural pelotense, que apoiou e participou efetivamente do projeto, sempre sob a liderança de D. Marina de Moraes Pires. Esta participação se deu de tal modo, em uma relação tão estreita, que a EBA se configurou como um reflexo desta elite, sendo construída à sua imagem e semelhança, com os mesmos valores, mentalidade e a partir do mesmo imaginário. Assim, o academicismo característico da Instituição, de sua forma de ensino e de sua produção artística, foi determinado por fatores existentes na sociedade em que surgiu e se desenvolveu, dentre os quais o conservadorismo. E a Escola, sendo uma instituição de nível superior de ensino de arte, legitima o academicismo, influindo assim na História da Arte em Pelotas.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the phenomena of middle school transition and achievement as it relates to Hispanic students. According to the 2000 U.S. census, there are more than 35 million registered Hispanic citizens. Of those, 3.6 million are public school students. The literature indicated that there was a marked regression in student achievement during the transition to middle school.
Through the use of descriptive statistics and regression analysis, sixth grade Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) reading and math developmental scale scores (DSS) were analyzed to determine if the mean achievement improved or declined after the transition to middle school. A purposeful sampling procedure was used to select 615 Hispanic students from more than 6,000 students that were enrolled in sixth grade during the 2008-2009 school year.
The major findings of this study did not support the literature that indicated that students experienced a decline in achievement when they transitioned to middle school. Analysis of the descriptive statistics indicated that sixth grade Hispanic students experienced a substantial increase in their mean FCAT reading DSS and a smaller increase in the mean math DSS only increasing by 30 points or 2% after they transitioned to middle school.

Full textAbstract:
Under två terminer har vi medverkat i en forskningscirkel på en grundskola som behandlat historieundervisning i en mångkulturell miljö. Forskningscirkeln startades i samband med att den aktuella skolan fick ett stort tillskott av elever med invandrarbakgrund. Det ena syftet med detta examensarbete är att synliggöra lärarnas syn på rollfördelningen inom den aktuella forskningscirkeln. Den rollfördelning vi syftar på är framförallt den mellan forskarna och lärarna, inte lärarna emellan. Det andra syftet är att se hur lärarna upplever att de påverkats av att medverka i forskningscirkeln, och då med fokus på historieundervisning i en mångkulturell miljö. Forskningscirklar inom skolans värld är ett ganska nytt fenomen. I forskningscirkeln möts teoretiker och praktiker kring ett gemensamt problem, utformat av praktikerna. Om forskningscirkeln i skolan ska kunna bli ett möte på lika villkor bör forskarna håller en medvetet låg profil. Risken finns annars att traditionella mönster upprepas; forskarna agerar ledare och lärarna blir de passiva deltagarna som utför uppgifter de tilldelats. Även om forskarnas låga profil kan innebära att arbetsprocessen i cirkeln tar längre tid så uppnås troligtvis resultat som är mer relevanta både för forskare och för lärare. Lärarna i den aktuella forskningscirkeln upplever att forskarna i cirkeln har hållit en låg profil. Deras uppfattning är att alla deltagit på lika villkor, oavsett yrke och tidigare erfarenheter. Dagens forskning inom det historiedidaktiska området fokuserar framförallt på hur man i skolan kan förändra sin historieundervisning utifrån de elever läraren har framför sig, och vems historia det egentligen är som ska förmedlas. Undersökningen visar att lärarna anser att på grund av sin medverkan i forskningscirkeln har det vuxit fram idéer och tankar kring hur de ska kunna förändra sin undervisning. Även om det inte är helt oproblematiskt, så försöker lärarna att hitta nya vägar, så att historieundervisningen ska angå alla i klassrummet. Centrala begrepp för forskningscirkeln och för detta examensarbete har varit, identitet, historiemedvetenhet, kultur och kulturarv. Begreppen har diskuterats utifrån ett didaktiskt perspektiv.During these two last terms we took part in a research group on history teaching in a multi-cultural environment at a compulsory school. The research group started when the school in question had recently taken on a large number of pupils of a foreign background. This thesis has two purposes, the first of which is to show the teachers’ view on the division of rolls within the aforementioned research group. The division referred to is principally that between the researchers and the teachers, not that between the teachers. The other purpose is to see how the teachers perceived the influence of participating in the research group, the focus being on history teaching in a multi-cultural environment. Research groups in the school world are quite new phenomena. In the research group theoreticians and practitioners meet about a mutual problem, defined by the practitioners. In order for the research group to meet on an equal footing, the researchers have to maintain a consciously low profile. Otherwise they run the risk of repeating a worn pattern where the researchers act as leaders and the teachers become the participants performing their allocated tasks. Even though the researchers’ low profile may mean the work process taking a longer time, chances are that results more relevant to the teachers and researchers are achieved. The teachers in this particular research group feel the researchers in the group did keep a low profile. Their impression is that everyone who participated took part on equal conditions, regardless of their profession and earlier experiences. Research today within the area of history didactics mainly focuses on how schools might change their history teaching based on the pupils sitting in front of the teacher, and on whose history one is actually trying to convey. This research shows that the teachers feel their participation in the research group did provoke ideas and thoughts on how to change the lessons. While it is not completely unproblematic, the teachers are trying to find new ways of making the history lessons relate to everyone in the classroom. Central conceptions for the research group and for this thesis have been identity, history awareness, culture and culture heritance. These conceptions have been discussed from a didactic perspective.

This essay illustrates how teachers at upper secondary schools relate to teaching dance history within the course “Dansteori”, focusing on the aim that students should critically review different dance history writings. The study uses interviews and open-ended questionnaires, and the material have been analyzed qualitatively and discussed in relation to historical thinking and norm-critical pedagogy. The study shows that a historical-scientific perspective is important in how teachers talk about the subject, but less important when it comes to what students should gain from their studies. Instead, a general knowledge of dance history and an ability to connect ones dancing to a historical context, is at the center. The study also shows a conflict between the content and the time given as well as the student’s maturity. In relation to the theoretical perspectives, the historical-scientific perspective is prominent. By contrast, the norm-critical perspective is not as clear, and as I understand it, the critical scrutiny lies primarily within the norm rather than as a means of looking outside the Western box. The next challenge is therefore to not only review the conditions for how history is created, but also to question and change the structures that create knowledge.

Full textAbstract:
A MATTER OF NATIONAL CONCERN examines the Kennedy Administration’s contribution to the restoration of public education in Prince Edward County, Virginia, and determines if those actions support the dominant narrative of Kennedy’s overall civil rights record – a historical assessment generally generated from a few acute crises. For five consecutive years (1959-1964), in defiance of federal court orders, the county board of supervisors refused to levy taxes to operate public schools, marking Prince Edward County as the only locale in the nation without free public education. The county leadership organized a segregated private school system for the 1,400 white children, but afforded no formal education for the 1,700 African American students. The Kennedy Administration inherited the Prince Edward County school situation – a crisis that threatened to cripple a generation, and, if replicated, destroy public education. In the Prince Edward County school dilemma, the Kennedy Administration took proactive measures, proved sympathetic to the plight of African Americans, challenged Virginia’s congressional delegation, and appointed federal judges that supported President Kennedy’s civil rights agenda. The Prince Edward County story generally, and the federal government’s actions specifically, have been virtually overlooked by historians. A MATTER OF NATIONAL CONCERN challenges scholars to re-evaluate the Kennedy Administration’s civil rights record by including all of the civil rights events of the Kennedy years, thus developing a thorough, comprehensive assessment. A MATTER OF NATIONAL CONCERN is the product of the study of unpublished archival documents, oral histories, interviews, newspaper reports, and secondary sources.

"Camille was no lady but Katrina was a bitch: gender, hurricanes & popular culture." Tulane University, 2013.
Find full textAbstract:
This dissertation, "Camille Was No Lady But Katrina Was A Bitch: Gender, Hurricanes & Popular Culture," uses the history of the hurricane naming process to compare the shifting environmental, scientific, and cultural changes taking place throughout the world during the twentieth century. It argues four major points: first, once gender is assigned to an object and adopted publicly en mass, it cannot be removed. Second, hurricane names have segregated hurricanes from other natural disasters in public consciousness. From "witches" and "bitches" to "monsters" and "menaces," the hurricane in popular memory calls forward explicitly gendered imagery; earthquakes, typhoons, dust bowls, plagues of insects, and other natural disasters do not carry the same sort of gendered associations. Third, by tracing the development and acceptance of the U.S. state-implemented hurricane naming process, it is possible to trace the spread of American gendered terms throughout the world. As illustrated throughout, gendered American meteorological terms are also found in global references to storms proving that hurricane names and descriptions are a form of both ecological and soft-power cultural imperialism. Finally, and most importantly, the socio-political implications tied to name and descriptive choices used with hurricanes have had a profound impact on storm perception globally. Introduced in 1954 by the U.S. Weather Bureau as a female-only hurricane naming system, hurricane names were rapidly adopted by other countries under U.S. meteorological control in the post-World War II era. With fears over Cold War politics both abroad and at home, the feminized hurricane was not just a weapon of mass destruction to be harnessed but also a potential tool of cultural domination through descriptive means. By the 1970s, with a discussion of feminism worldwide, references to the female-named storms helped produce dualistic images of "stormy women" and the "Women's Lib Storm" that were politically useful to men and the state when they felt threatened by feminism. Meanwhile, today's references to Hurricane Katrina, and later Sandy, as a "bitch" on Twitter reappear in blogs around the world. Due to this, the feminization of hurricanes has created and sustained a misogynistic, pervasively American form of vilification of women in media portrayals that continues to this day.acase@tulane.edu

Find full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT This dissertation examines jazz in the life of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), from its founding after the end of World War II to its dissolution with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989. Challenging the established scholarly view that jazz was an art form whose primary dynamic consisted of opposition to the state, this dissertation argues that jazz was in fact a musical genre that enjoyed considerable state attention and in some cases support. Over the 40 years of the GDR’s history, party leaders variously legislated, controlled, repressed, encouraged, and ultimately sponsored jazz activities, recognizing throughout these years that jazz bore a critical relation to Marxist ideology with respect to its origins in racial identity and class-based oppression: this history, then, reflects the evolving struggle by socialist authorities to define this relationship and manage it accordingly. In order to make this argument, this dissertation examines previously unexamined material from a variety of sources in the GDR, including interviews from former residents and jazz actors, private documents such as diaries and letters, official government policies, and records of state surveillance. It provides the first full-length assessment of jazz over the entire lifespan of the GDR, dividing this history into four key phases and documenting the evolution of jazz from its initial use as a tool of re-education immediately following World War II to its emergence as a state-sanctioned art form in the 1980s. In sum, this dissertation argues that jazz can no longer be seen in such a simplistic way as scholars generally contend: rather, this research concludes that jazz must be understood as an art form in continuous and evolving dialogue with, not pure opposition to, the state.acase@tulane.edu

Find full textAbstract:
"The Negro's Place" examines the relationship between public education and urban development in twentieth-century New Orleans, arguing that the expansion of segregated public schooling eroded two centuries of residential integration and contributed to the disparate development of white and black neighborhoods. The study challenges the popular concept of "white flight" as an explanation for metropolitan change by demonstrating that school segregation, as well as reaction to desegregation, divided urban and suburban space along racial lines. It also inverts prevailing scholarly interpretations of this transformation, which emphasize that public and private manipulation of the housing market created the racially distinct communities that promoted and sustained segregated schools. Additionally, the dissertation's examination of schools, race, and space underscores the extent to which Jim Crow continued to evolve through a dynamic, oftentimes improvisational process during the twentieth century. Finally, it demonstrates that, even as public schools became the sites of courtroom and neighborhood battles over desegregation, they continued to tighten racial inequality in ways that contemporary activists and observers did not always recognize. Most significantly, in the decades before and after World War II, segregated schools created structural inequalities in housing that impeded desegregation's capacity to promote racial justice.acase@tulane.edu

"Fertile Matters In Caribbean History: Contemporary Fictional Revisions Of The Sexual And Textual Lives Of Women." Tulane University, 2014.
Find full textAbstract:
This thesis explores how the works of three contemporary women writers “write back” to the silences in the dominant historical narratives--made at various stages of Michel-Rolph Trouillot’s notion of the production of history and in varying ways--surrounding the sexual lives of women of color in the Caribbean and how, in turn, each offers an alternative narrative of women’s history. Chapter 1 focuses on Edwidge Danticat’s novel, Breath, Eyes, Memory (1994), a realist antiromance set in Haiti and the United States during the final years of the dictatorship of Jean-Claude Duvalier (Baby Doc) in the 1980s. Chapter 2 examines Rosario Ferré’s novel, The House on the Lagoon (1995), an example of the genre of Latin American feminist historical fiction that follows the history of a Puerto Rican family on the island beginning with the transition from Spanish to U.S. occupation to the textual present (1898-1980s). Chapter 3 situates Andrea Levy’s novel, The Long Song (2010), a neo-slave narrative set in Jamaica in the years leading up to and following emancipation (1807-1898), alongside an original slave narrative, The History of Mary Prince (1831), that recounts Prince’s experiences as an enslaved woman in Bermuda and Antigua in the same era. Enlisting different literary genres, representing regions that are culturally and linguistically distinct, and narrating histories that are centuries apart, these novels certainly share as many differences as commonalities. Yet these differences, when read next to each other, further reveal a transnational interest among contemporary women writers, in the Caribbean and its diasporas, to contest dominant representations and silences of women’s sexuality in Caribbean history and to use fiction to offer an alternative version that spotlights the sexual lives of women. acase@tulane.edu

"Tehuana Urbana: How Cultural Mestizaje Shaped the Revolutionary Persona of Aurora Reyes, Mexico's First Female Muralist." Tulane University, 2013.
Find full textAbstract:
The connection between the visual arts and revolutionary social change is the inspiration for this dissertation. In a 1953 interview, Aurora Reyes, Mexico's first female muralist, declared, 'Art is the medium with the greatest potential to penetrate human emotions, and therefore functions as a powerful weapon in the fight for the rights of the common man.' In the following chapters, I identify the ways in which the officially sanctioned visual narrative of Mexican history evolved during the transition from the Porfirian to the Revolutionary State. By tracing the artistic precursors of the revolution, I attempt to illuminate the role of cultural mestizaje and material culture in achieving sustainable social change in early twentieth century Mexico. The transition from Porfirian to revolutionary Mexico did not happen overnight. It required the committed efforts of several generations of artists and intellectuals. This creative cohort worked diligently to construct an alternative form of cultural nationalism that valued the nation's indigenous legacy. By simultaneously tracing the artistic and familial provenance of revolutionary artist Aurora Reyes, I provide a glimpse of the social balancing that defines revolutionary change. In addition to traditional archival sources, this interdisciplinary investigation required an analysis of 'alternative documents.' I consulted photographs, works of art, song lyrics, and poetry in an attempt to describe and explain the effects of cultural mestizaje as a formative influence on Reyes and her cohort. Their attraction to indigenous culture was not cultivated via written communications; therefore, my analysis of the process required a broad range of sources. I hope this work will inspire more historians to look to visual elements of the historic record to help explain social change.acase@tulane.edu

Romano, Paul Dominic. "History of a particular it: a fictional narrative of practice." Thesis, 2012. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/19423/.
Full textAbstract:
Throughout the duration of the research I have been concerned with finding ways to present,
interrogate and speak about practice – through, in and as practice. Encompassing the
practices of dancing and writing, the inquiry seeks to resist the codification, definition
and traditions of formal discourse, and to unsettle the hold of the conceptual.
The research concerns the ontology and genealogy of performance - what is a work,
where does it begin and where does it end?
History of a particular it isn’t a search for or about something; it is something, something
the project repeatedly attempts (and often fails) to communicate by embedding its outcomes
within its own ongoing processes. The live performance works are both inseparable from
and other than the physical practice from which they emerged. And similarly, the writing
is reflective of and other than the performance works.
