Uplifting Voices: Implementing A Heritage-Based Civil Rights Program In The United States Forest Service, Amanda Jo Campbell Crawford

Masters Theses

The United States Forest Service holds in public trust hundreds upon thousands of historically significant sites. For decades, the management of these special places has focused on basic site identification and protection to meet legal compliance measures for Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Standard practices within the agency led to cultural sites being identified on the ground in a cursory fashion, but with little research or follow up into the history of the site of the people that had created and occupied it. Sites reflecting the identity, history, or material culture of People of Color were especially …

Lecture Nine: Thomas Paine And Theology Without The Church, Earl Clement Davis

The Rise and Development of the Congregational Polity and Spirit in New England

This lecture focuses on the religious writings of Thomas Paine -- famous for his political revolutionary pamphlet "Common Sense." His subsequent book, The Age of Reason, was very controversial upon release. But Davis argues that it accurately described the liberal tendencies emerging at this time.

Lecture Four: The Pilgrim Church In Holland, Earl Clement Davis

The Rise and Development of the Congregational Polity and Spirit in New England

Davis begins with the courting and marriage of the widow Mrs. Thomasine Boyes and Francis Johnson, who was then in Clink prison. The Elders of the Amsterdam Church found her overly flashy and this nearly split the church. The Scrooby Church first arrived in Amsterdam and initially took up with the London Amsterdam Church. Feeling unwelcome and unaligned, they moved to Leyden with John Robinson as the learned and effective minister. Despite this, there were still concerns that the Scrooby Church would be absorbed into the broader (overly liberal) religious culture of Holland. It is because of this that they …

Lecture Three: Brief Definition Of Certain Terms Used In The History Of Free Churches, Earl Clement Davis

The Rise and Development of the Congregational Polity and Spirit in New England

Davis cites two sources for the English Reformation:a growth of popular feeling against the Catholic Church, and the personal and political troubles of Henry VIII. Henry VIII moved ultimate authority from Rome to the English monarch. But the popular movement for free inquiry and universal priesthood continued to press further change. Definitions clarified as they pertain to this historical context are: dissenters, non-conformists, independents, and "the New England way".

Lecture Two: Earliest Traces Of Congregational Polity And Spirit, Earl Clement Davis

The Rise and Development of the Congregational Polity and Spirit in New England

Lecture Two looks back prior to the Scrooby Church at earlier dissenters from religious conformity, and in favor of free inquiry. He begins in 1165 with 30 weavers in the diocese of Worcester who made light of "priestly power." They were branded heretics and banished. From there he discusses the early Separatists and important figures in the Congregational Church's founding. These include Robert Browne, John Robinson, John Greenwood, Henry Barrowe, and Francis Johnson.

Conserving The American Man: Gender, Eugenics And Education In The Civilian Conservation Corps, Charles Tocci, Ann Marie Ryan

Education: School of Education Faculty Publications and Other Works

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a novel United States federal education programme that enrolled nearly three million men during the 1930s and early 1940s. This public work relief programme provides a case study of the ways that masculine, eugenicist ideas concerning public education evolved from the Progressive Era through the Great Depression. This educational philosophy was espoused by a small group of men – some educators, some not – who sought to remedy what they saw as the failures of public schooling, namely its overly feminine nature. Through an analysis of their public writings and the images that were …

Book Review: Reckonings: Numerals, Cognition, And History By Stephen Chrisomalis, Milton Rosa, Daniel Clark Orey

Journal of Humanistic Mathematics

This review of Reckonings shares our thoughts on the diverse insights presented by Stephen Chrisomalis’s version of the history of numerical notation. Chrisomalis suggests that members of distinct cultural groups write numbers as an active choice in accordance with their own sociocultural contexts, which reflect the influences of historical, cognitive, social, economic, political, environmental, and cultural factors. This book integrates comparative, cognitive, and evolutionary understandings on numerical cognition with historical and linguistic evidence on the use and transformation of numeral systems through the historical advancement of numeracy. Chrisomalis offers an interesting historical perspective on numbers that builds upon three main …

Review Essay—The Swartz Festschrift: "Conceptualizing Maritime & Naval Strategy: Festschrift For Captain Peter M. Swartz, United States Navy (Ret.)", Robert C. Rubel, Sebastian Bruns, Sarandis Papadopoulos

Naval War College Review

Captain Peter M. Swartz, USN (Ret.), has been a prominent figure in the maritime-strategy world since the early 1980s, playing a key role in the development and articulation of the noted 1980s Maritime Strategy. After retirement from active duty, he joined the staff at the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA), where he became a noted archivist and analyst of USN strategy documents, as well as an adviser to many naval officers and academics who dealt with strategy. On his retirement from CNA, two academics who had benefited from Swartz’s mentorship put together a Festschrift—a volume of essays to honor him …

Sizing The Carriers—A Brief History Of Alternatives, Sam J. Tangredi

Naval War College Review

In the end, the debate over aircraft carriers always boils down to cost; their acquisition costs are much higher than for any other single-item defense program, making them a natural target for criticism. Combined with a simplistic perception of vulnerability, high costs tend to cause critics to declare aircraft carriers unaffordable—but “compared to what?”

Aircraft Carriers—Missions, Survivability, Size, Cost, Numbers, John F. Lehman, Steven Wills

Naval War College Review

A new, twenty-first-century design of the size of USS Midway with an air wing up to sixty-five aircraft, whether conventionally or nuclear powered, could complement larger nuclear flattops while still incorporating rugged survivability and being capable of independent operations—and could be built quicker and cheaper and in more shipyards.

History Or Heritage? An Analysis Of Ghana’S Primary School History Curriculum, Charles Adabo Oppong

The Councilor: A National Journal of the Social Studies

Abstract

At a time that history has gained its place in Ghana’s basic school curriculum, considerable differences of opinion arise, not about the subject’s significance in the school curriculum but concerning the legitimacy of the subject title - that is, whether or not the subject should be referenced ‘History of Ghana’ or ‘Heritage of Ghana’. The different opinions reflect Lowenthal’s (1998) observation that history and heritage are separate disciplines. However, the two subjects are often used interchangeably (Mermion, 2012) and “are habitually confused with each other” (Lowenthal 1998, p. x). While expert academics may be at ease with the distinctions …
