Richard L. Davis and the Color Line in Ohio Coal
No full textBased on the debate in the research literature since Herbert Gutman first reintroduced Richard L. Davis to the world in 1968 and a historical analysis of 170 letters written by Davis, many recently discovered by the author, this presentation of Richard L. Davis and the Color Line in Ohio Coal: A Hocking Valley Mine Labor Organizer, 1862-1900 (2016) (Jefferson, NC: McFarland & Company), will focus on the remarkable life of Richard L. Davis. Born in Roanoke County, Virginia, on the eve of the Emancipation Proclamation, Davis was an early mine labor organizer from Rendville, Ohio, a racially integrated “free space” community in Appalachian Southeast Ohio founded by William P. Rend, a Chicago coal operator. One year after the 1884 Great Hocking Valley Coal Strike, which lasted nine months, Davis wrote the first of his many letters to the National Labor Tribune and the United Mine Workers Journal. Davis was one of two African Americans at the founding convention of United Mine Workers of America, which was held in Columbus, Ohio, in January 1890. After having served for five years on the Executive Board of District Six, Ohio, he was elected as a member of the National Executive Board in 1886 and 1897. Davis ardently and incessantly called upon white and black miners to unite against wage slavery. This presentation will provide a detailed portrait of one of America’s more influential labor organizers and how his struggle to break the color line continues to hold deep significance for us today
The Belize Project: A Host School Perspective
No full textWhile the research literature is replete with studies on student perspectives and theirdevelopment of cross-cultural sensitivity, research on the perspectives of educators who host international preservice teachers is woefully lacking. This study seeks to fill that gap by assessing the experiences of 15 educators at an elementary host school in Belize. It draws on their experiences with hosting the Belize Project, a week-long international field experience.Our findings lead to two major conclusions. Culture and completing a field experience in a classroom in another country are two closely intertwined and difficult to disentangle experiences. It is a reciprocal process in which both participating partners, the teacher candidates and host school community, reap the benefits of both a cultural and educational exchange. Not only does it benefit the student teachers, it also contributes to the professional development of the host school community and its educators. Despite the short length of the project, the mentor teachers and administrators unanimously agreed that its benefits clearly outweigh its challenges
Quotiescumque : Greek Origin of a Latin Confessor’s Guide
No full textThe guidebook for confessors that is called after its first name ‘Quotiescumque’ was a
widespread text in the Middle Ages. One part of it, a priest’s preparatory prayer for hearing
one or more confessions, even still appears in a Ritual published at Würzburg in 1836. The
present study shows that this confessor’s guide is the Latin translation of a Greek model, with
the exception of two interpolations by a Latin author. This thesis is based on the fact that
there is also a Greek text of the priest’s prayer and Quotiescumque includes a rule on fasting
that can only have been written by a Greek author ... The purpose of my study is, first, to prove that the confessor’s guide Quotiescumque is the
Latin translation of a Greek text. Quotiescumque is called after its first word ‘Quotiescunque
(christianis qui ad paenitentiam accedunt ieiunia damus)’. The other aims of my book are: to
present the texts of the various sections of Quotiescumque, to explain these texts by analyzing
them and by adducing other texts that shed light upon those of the confessor’s guide and,
finally, to show the influence of the writing over an area including France, Germany and Italy,
and over a period of about 10 centuries
Overseas student teaching and national identity: Why go somewhere you feel completely comfortable?
No full textoai:iajiss.journals.sfu.ca:article/10This article presents the findings of a study of emerging perceptions of national identity held by preservice teachers who completed their student teaching overseas. To help them become better global citizens and teachers in this constantly changing and increasingly diverse world, each in a unique international setting, and based on Crèvecoeur’s question, “What is an American?” reflected on what it means to be American in a foreign country and what it is that characterizes national identity in their host country. Several significant thematic findings related to the participants’ perception of national identity that emerged included observations about lifestyle, economic inequality, diversity, politics, religion, patriotism and perspectives on national identity. The most significant conclusion that can be drawn from the findings is that these student teachers were immersed in the experience to such an extent that they were unable to reflect back upon their American national identity. Clearly, the intensity of context in which they found themselves, did not allow them to identify the characteristics of American through their own eyes. When describing American identity, they did so largely from the generally negative perspective of the people they encountered in their host country
Gendelettre:De vormende jaren van Frans Erens, 1857-1893
No full textFrans Erens (1857-1935) is regarded as "the Eighties man from Limburg," who took his own place within the Eighties Movement based on his origins, Catholic faith and international education. In 1884 he joined Flanor, the Amsterdam association that is considered the birthplace of the Eighties. Earlier, in Paris, he actively participated in the rise of the Symbolists. Gendelettre attempts to answer the intriguing question of how Erens' success in both Paris and Amsterdam can be explained and looks for that answer in his self-fashioning and the factors that contributed to it. The study also paints a picture of the world of letters at a crucial moment in the literary history of both countries, France and the Netherlands. Previously unreprinted texts by the author enrich this first scholarly biography of Frans Erens. Jean Frins (b. 1982) was accompanied in his writing by professors Mary Kemperink (University of Groningen) and Kees Snoek (Sorbonne Université Paris)
