Interview with Randy Stoecker, author, Liberating Service Learning and the Rest of Higher Education Civic Engagement
No full textIt’s common for colleges in the U.S. to have service learning programs of one kind or another. These are sometimes criticized as being liberal or even radical endeavors — especially if “social justice” language is employed. But what if these are, in fact, conservative programs at their heart, ones that, in the context of the corporatized university, are furthering the neoliberal project and inhibiting the development of better social welfare policies? Listen to our interview with Randy Stoecker as he discusses his book, Liberating Service Learning and the Rest of Higher Education Civic Engagement (Temple University Press, 2016), for a first-hand critique as well as some thoughts on how we might all better serve our students — and the communities they would engage with

Review of \u3ci\u3eGeneral William S. Harney: Prince of Dragoons\u3c/i\u3e By George Rollie Adams
No full textThe foremost army office! (next to Winfield Scott) from the end of the War of 1812 to the beginning of the Civil War, William S. Harney experienced the entire spectrum of military activity during the period. More than anything else, he was an army officer of the Indian frontier, and it was on the frontier opposing Indians that he made a name for himself.
Harney was tall, powerful, and athletic as well as volatile, profane, and violent. This combination tended to bring him to the fore wherever he was stationed. He was at his best during active command in the field. Harney was aggressive, innovative, and highly effective as a field commander versus the Seminoles from 1837 to 1841, during the Mexican War in 1847, and against the Sioux in 1855 and 1856. He could be extremely stubborn and vindictive and was prone to insubordination, as his conflicts with Stephen Watts Kearney and Winfield Scott reveal.
Harney did not fare so well when he took an administrative paymaster job to gain promotion, and later a diplomatic post in the Northwest. He attained his greatest reputation on the Indian frontier: in the Old Northwest, in the Seminole War, on the Texas frontier, and on the Northern Plains with the Sioux. His reputation with the tribes on the Northern Plains was so great that he served as a highly successful negotiator in the treaties that followed the Civil War.
Harney\u27s most signal failure was as commander of federal troops in Missouri at the beginning of the Civil War. His inability to suppress secessionist activity vigorously enough led to his removal from command and forced retirement by the Lincoln Administration. Harney\u27s focus on maintaining the peace in Missouri failed to adjust to the fact that war had already begun and that there were many in Missouri actively attempting to remove the state from the Union.
Author Adams proves that William S. Harney is a subject worthy of a definitive biography. His book is well researched and well written. Only a single-and superficial- biography of Harney, written in 1878 while the general was still alive, predates Adams\u27s. One might question the author\u27s criticism of Harney\u27s attack and suppression of the Sioux at Ash Hollow as unusually harsh. The incidental killing of women and children during attacks on villages and the taking of prisoners afterward became standard operating procedure by army officers campaigning against Plains Indians
Reconsidering Randy Shilts: examining the reportage of America's AIDS chronicler
No full text2013 Fall.Includes bibliographical references.The role of openly-gay reporter and author Randy Shilts (1951-1994) is examined related to his use of journalistic practices and places him on a continuum of traditional reporting roles as considered in the context of twentieth century philosophers Walter Lippmann and John Dewey. Reporter functions demonstrated by Shilts are examined, including those dictated by expectations of either strong journalistic influence over society and media consumers, or those more aligned with democratic practices where education and participation emphasize strong roles for society and media consumers. Using a biographical approach including 17 primary source interviews of former colleagues, critics, sources and family/friends, the examination of Shilts work as both a reporter and noted author is presented as being heavily influenced by his forthcoming attitudes about disclosure of his sexual orientation from the start of his career and his desire to explain or unpack aspects of gay culture, and ultimately the AIDS crisis, to heterosexual audiences. Careful examination of the posthumous critique of Shilts' work - including his construction of Patient Zero - is undertaken. The study concludes that Shilts fully engaged a Lippmann-esque approach embodied in an authoritarian role for journalism that sought to change the world in which it was offered, and did so perhaps most influentially during the earliest days of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in America
