"Sewing A Safety Net: Scarborough's Maritime Community, 1747-1765", Charles Foy Jun 2012

"Sewing A Safety Net: Scarborough's Maritime Community, 1747-1765", Charles Foy

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

From 1747 to 1765 Scarborough created a safety net to keep its maritime dependents from becoming impoverished. A web of kinship connections that permitted sailors to move between land and sea as well as between maritime roles as they aged; the employment of maritime servants; the extensive hiring of elderly seamen; the use of the Seamen’s Sixpence after legislative reform in 1747 to develop locally operated seamen’s hospitals for the benefit of sailors and their families; and strong community support of the hospitals worked together to provide a social safety net that was, by eighteenth century standards, robust and effective.

Faculty Research and Creative Activity

Few studies have compared anthropometric characteristics among national class athletes from different resistance training disciplines, such as Olympic Weightlifting (OL), Power Lifting (PL), and Bodybuilding (BB). Objective: The purpose of the current study was to determine if significant differences exist in the relationship between thigh muscle cross-sectional area and back squat strength among national class athletes from the sports of OL, PL, and BB. Methods: Fifteen national class athletes were assessed for back squat strength, mid-thigh circumference, and mid-thigh skinfold from which total thigh cross-sectional was estimated. A series of One-Way ANOVAs and Pearson Product Moment Correlations were used to …

Advances In Collective Bargaining In Aft Part-Time Locals, Elaine Bobrove May 2012

Advances In Collective Bargaining In Aft Part-Time Locals, Elaine Bobrove

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

AFT represents approximately 55,000 adjuncts. These adjuncts are in a variety of units. There are 99,000 members in 72 full-time/part-time locals; approximately 35,00 of these are part-time adjuncts. There are 10,300 adjuncts in 21 part-time locals that are affiliated with full-time locals. At 20 institutions, AFT represents over 9,800 part-time adjunct faculty in stand-alone units. All of these adjunct locals have contributed much to the union movement, and at the same time, they have put pressure on the union movement for change. It is not surprising, therefore, to see that adjuncts have made gains in their march toward equity with …


Negotiations Behind Negotiations: Reaching Out To Constituents, Robert Zazzali May 2012

Negotiations Behind Negotiations: Reaching Out To Constituents, Robert Zazzali

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

Reaching consensus within one’s own constituency group, whether from the union or management perspective, is often an overlooked and underappreciated part of the bargaining process. Emphasis is typically on negotiating and getting to “yes” with the other side. While that is the culmination of the process, often the consensus-building that occurs within one’s own membership determines success or failure at the main table. That can be a tall task, given the diverse and at times opposing views and philosophies at play.


Faculty Specialists/Contingent Faculty At Western Michigan University: A Personal Retrospective, Gary Mathews May 2012

Faculty Specialists/Contingent Faculty At Western Michigan University: A Personal Retrospective, Gary Mathews

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

In the Spring semester, 2005 I took a sabbatical for the second time in my twenty-nine years as a professor at Western Michigan University (WMU). The dictionary defines a sabbatical as “release from normal teaching duties granted to a professor, as for study or travel.” When faculty, friends and relatives ask me what I did on my sabbatical, I first tell them that I spent the month of January in Aruba; basking in the sun, snorkeling, and playing poker. Everyone seems to like and understand that answer. Then I say that I am writing a brief history of the Faculty …


Gen X Meets Theory X: What New Scholars Want, Cathy Trower May 2012

Gen X Meets Theory X: What New Scholars Want, Cathy Trower

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

“If they can’t understand that I want a kick-ass career and a kick-ass life, then I don’t want to work here,” sums up how many Generation X’ers (born between 1965 and 1980) view their workplace, according to Lancaster and Stillman (2002, p. 107). Further, “Why does it matter when I come and go, as long as I get the work done?” (p. 114). As a group, Gen X’ers are willing to work hard but want to decide when, where, and how. As this generation enters the professoriate in large numbers, some academic institutions may be wondering what hit them. Gen …


Raising A University Through Collective Bargaining, Robert Avery May 2012

Raising A University Through Collective Bargaining, Robert Avery

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

Collective bargaining at its idealist core promises to “love, honor and respect till death do us part.” Historically that has been about as successful as the institution demanding the promise as a condition precedent to the marital union formed. Nevertheless, the progeny of that union, no matter how difficult and imperfect, is the responsibility of that union. Even where there is no duality, there remains a responsibility that is both transparent and undeniable to mold, grow, influence and set an example of excellence for the higher education entity to grow into. This responsibility is then borne of the greatest, purest …


“And They Call Pennsylvania A Blue State?”, Pat Heilman May 2012

“And They Call Pennsylvania A Blue State?”, Pat Heilman

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

By now, most academicians are aware of the assaults on academic freedom as contained in the Academic Bill of Rights (ABOR) legislation introduced, in some form, in some 24 states. Part of a national movement to muzzle professors deemed too liberal for our colleges and universities, this witch hunt, instigated by former liberal radical David Horowitz, has had a chilling effect on campuses. Some faculty organizations are fighting back; APSCUF (Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties), a union representing some 5,500 faculty and coaches in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE), is one of them. This …


Financing Higher Education: Privatization, Resistance And Renewal, Gerald Turkel May 2012

Financing Higher Education: Privatization, Resistance And Renewal, Gerald Turkel

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

The fiscal crisis of higher education currently is being resolved largely through a financing policy of privatization, a pattern that increasingly shifts responsibility to individual students and their families. The politics of privatization makes it ever more difficult for lower-income students to attend college and has become a major financial burden for middle-income people. Beyond the direct financial consequences, privatization has increasingly subordinated the research and educational missions of higher education to the countervailing imperatives of economic growth and competitiveness. Privatization has enhanced the entrepreneurial and corporate features of universities and colleges, increasingly shifting the values of higher education away …
