Janet Hunter Perry and the professionalisation of British Hispanism, 1921-1958
No full textEste artículo analiza la trayectoria académica de la primera mujer que trabajó como profesora universitaria de lengua y literatura españolas en el Reino Unido, Janet Hunter Perry (1884-1958), para determinar su aportación al desarrollo del hispanismo británico en la primera mitad del siglo XX. A partir de documentación primaria y secundaria, aquí se defiende que su labor docente e investigadora contribuyó a la difusión y profesionalización de los estudios hispánicos en la educación superior británica, además de inspirar a otras mujeres a convertirse en hispanistas.Cet article analyse le parcours universitaire de la première professeure d'université de langue et littérature espagnoles au Royaume-Uni, Janet Hunter Perry (1884-1958). Il s’agit de déterminer sa place dans le développement de l'hispanisme britannique au début du XXe siècle. Sur la base de documents primaires et secondaires, il est avancé ici que ses travaux d’enseignement et de recherche ont contribué non seulement à la diffusion et à la professionnalisation des études hispaniques dans l'éducation supérieure britannique, mais ont également inspiré d'autres femmes qui sont devenues hispanistes à leur tour.My paper explores the academic career of the first woman to be appointed to a university lectureship in Spanish studies in the UK, Janet Hunter Perry (1884-1958), to understand her role in the development of British hispanism in the early twentieth century. Drawing on both archival material and scholarship, I argue that her research and teaching contributed to the growth and professionalisation of Hispanic Studies in British higher education, in addition to inspiring other women to become hispanists.Depto. de Historia Moderna y ContemporáneaFac. de Geografía e HistoriaTRUEpu
Broiler Farms' Organization, Management, and Performance
No full textThis study provides a comprehensive view of the organization, management, and financial performance of U.S. broiler farms. Using data from USDA's Agricultural Resource Management Study (ARMS, formerly known as the Farm Costs and Returns Survey), we examine farm size, financial structure, household income, management practices, and spousal participation in decision-making. We compare broiler operations with other farming enterprises and their earnings with that of the average U.S. household. Because most of the 7 billion broilers produced in the United States in 1995 were raised under contract, we also explore the use of contracts and the effects of contracting on the broiler sector.contracting, broilers, poultry, farm characteristics, farm income, farm operator characteristics, risk management strategies, Livestock Production/Industries,

No full textAccumulation of knowledge: the education of African Americans in southern New Jersey from 1920-1945
No full textResearch Question: What individuals, institutions and organizations were instrumental in the development of the educational philosophy for African Americans in Southern New Jersey from 1920-1945? Methodology: This dissertation employed oral history in the qualitative tradition using video recording equipment. Data were gathered from twelve participants representing nine family groups and four southern New Jersey Counties. The data were coded and analyzed to determine common and distinct themes which influenced the participants’ individual and collective educational experiences. Findings: South Jersey, bordering Delaware, Maryland and Virginia inherited racial attitudes from their southern neighbors. These southern ideologies were reflected in the types of schools available to black children during that era. The findings were as follows. 1. The participants all attended public schools in South Jersey. The grammar schools were segregated; and those who attended high school attended integrated schools or The Manual Training and Industrial School for Colored Youth at Bordentown. 2. The participants’ parents who had greater socio-economic status than their peers and/or had cultural and social capital were able to orchestrate their children’s education. These parents chose an educational path for their children that included college attendance or attending the manual training school in Bordentown. Parents with capital were able to lay a foundation for success in an era that segregated and discriminated against blacks. 3. The participants, through their lenses as students, were very vocal and exacting about describing their studies, teachers, and events that occurred in the segregated schools, but were very reluctant to describe their high school experiences. Significance: Black parents who held greater socio-economic status than their peers, and possessed cultural and social capital had great influence over their children’s education. They chose schools that provided their children with a trade or profession.Ed.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Janet E. Alle
Managing open access (OA) workflows at the University of St Andrews: challenges and Pathfinder solutions
No full text© 2014. Janet Aucock. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution Licence, which permits unrestricted use and distribution provided the original author and source are credited.This article arose out of a presentation given to the UKSG seminar on ‘Managing Open Access: pain points and workflows’. It presents a case study on the workflows in place at the University of St Andrews and how these are developing to meet funder compliance policies and the challenge of the new HEFCE Research Excellence Framework (REF) open access (OA) policy. The case study describes the research environment at St Andrews and in particular the challenges faced and how these may be answered. Since the seminar in May 2014, the Open Access Research Publications Support Team has engaged in a ‘Lean’ exercise to evaluate and streamline workflows within the institution. St Andrews is also now a partner in the LOCH project, one of the Jisc Pathfinder projects. The paper gives an update on recent activities and looks at strategies and practical ideas for improving workflows and removing pain points.Publisher PD

El pájaro de fuego ruso. Historias. Revista de la Dirección de Estudios Históricos Num. 71 (2008) septiembre-diciembre
No full textEste escrito se publicó originalmente en The New Yorker el 5 de enero de 1935 y fue seleccionado para integrar la primera antología de esta revista, que salió en Inglaterra bajo el título Profiles (Penguin). Su autora, Janet Flanner (1892-1978), entre 1925 y 1971 fue corresponsal en París de esa revista que dirigía Harold Ross; escribió narrativa (The Cubical City, 1926), tradujo a Colette (Chéri, 1929) y realizó otras actividades literarias. Su columna “Letter from Paris” fue uno de los rincones más buscados en The New Yorker. Lo mismo, más adelante, su sección “Paris Journal”. Flanner antologó sus envíos en dos títulos: An American in Paris. Profile of an Interlude Between Two Wars (Simon and Schuster, 1940) y Men and Monuments (Harper, 1957). De la sección que armó como un diario de París, William Shawn formó otros dos volúmenes de Flanner: Paris Journal, 1944-1965 (Atheneum, 1965) y Paris Journal, 1965-1971 (Atheneum, 1971). Por otra parte, Irving Drutman fue sobre los primeros envíos de Flanner, espigó las que le parecieron las cartas de mayor interés y las reunió bajo el título Paris Was Yesterday, 1925-1939 (Viking Press, 1972 ), traducido por Marcelo Covián para Grijalbo (1974). El mismo Drutman integró otro volumen: Janet Flanner’s World. Uncollected Writings, 1932-1975 (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1979)
