Pete Camagna, 2005/12/07 14:19:52
HISTORY MATTERS is an electronic journal
published annually by the department of history
at Appalachian State University. The journal is
edited by undergraduates with the help of a
faculty board. Students interested in writing
reviews of historical works as Contributing
Editors, or faculty members interested in being
part of the Faculty Editorial Board, should
contact the editors at histmatt@appstate.edu for
more information. The journal homepage is
located at www.historymatters.appstate.edu.
GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION:
We welcome submissions from all undergraduates.
Authors may submit papers via email attachment,
in Microsoft Word or Corel WordPerfect formats,
to histmatt@appstate.edu.
Please put your name
on a cover page only, and include an email
address and phone number. We ask that you use
footnotes and conform manuscripts to the Chicago
Manual of Style (latest edition), especially for
footnote form. Only one submission per student
will be reviewed, and we do not accept papers
already submitted to or published by this journal
or other academic journals. Revision and
additional research may be requested after
editorial review, but a request for revision does
not guarantee publication. The final deadline is
January 27, 2006, but students are encouraged to
submit papers as soon as possible. The editors
welcome any questions at histmatt@appstate.edu. APPLYING FOR REPLACEMENT TEACHING FOR NEXT YEAR (06-07) Note: This does NOT concern TAs.
Carla Ivey, for grad, 2005/12/09 17:10:34
This year there will be new procedures regarding
applying for replacement teaching (for 2006-07).
In the past, we have asked graduate students who
are interested in teaching to propose their own
courses. We have found, however, that new
courses do not enroll well, as a rule, so we are
asking you to inform us of two different kinds of
courses you could offer:
We ask that you tell us 1)which of the courses
already "on the books" and offered by our faculty
you would be able to teach, as well as 2) what
appealing, broadly conceived special topics
course you could offer. This second kind of
course is what we formerly asked of you, but we
often got VERY idiosyncratic offerings.
Specialized courses based on your own research
are NOT appropriate, nor is anything that is not
transparent to undergraduates. We are willing to
consider courses which have been offered
successfully beforeI order to put your name "in
the hat" you will, of course, have to consult
with the relevant faculty members to find out
what they're planning to offer and/or whether it
is likely that they will be on leave.
Please note that all courses taught by graduate
students are capped at 35, but you will assume
the curricular "codes" of any existing course you
stand in for.
A completed application for teaching will consist
of the following,
submitted both in hard copy and electronically to
me, Kristen Neuschel
(kneusche@duke.edu), by December 10:
1)A cover letter in which you a) name the courses
already on the books for which you wish to be
considered b)identify your own course(s) you
would be ready to teach c) briefly outline your
previous teaching experience d)discuss the
results of your conversations with relevant
faculty and e) describe your current status in
the graduate program and the appropriateness of
the teaching obligations you seek for your own
progress towards the degree (note that
independent teaching assignments are usually
reserved for students who are ABD).
2)A c.v.
3)Syllabi or, failing that, outlines for your own
proposed course(s )
and/or for any faculty course you are proposing
to take over.
4)Teaching evaluations, if any are available. History Teaching Opportunities - Summer 2006

html Bill Chafe Book Signing Saturday, November 5, 2005
Carla Ivey, for faculty, 2005/11/01 10:50:25
Bill Chafe will be at the Regulator Saturday,
November 5, 2005 at 3:00 doing a book signing for
his new book: PRIVATE LIVES/PUBLIC
CONSEQUENCES.
Bill Chafe’s new book is Private Lives/Public
Consequences: Personality and Politics in Modern
America (Harvard University Press).
Private Lives/Public Consequences:
Personality and Politics in Modern America
by Chafe, William H.
Published: Harvard University Press, 2005
Inventory Status: On Our Shelves Now
A political leader's decisions can determine the
fate of a nation, but what determines how and why
that leader makes certain choices? William H.
Chafe, a distinguished historian of twentieth
century America, examines eight of the most
significant political leaders of the modern era
in order to explore the relationship between
their personal patterns of behavior and their
political decision-making process. The result is
a fascinating look at how personal lives and
political fortunes have intersected to shape
America over the past fifty years.
One might expect our leaders to be healthy,
wealthy, genteel, and happy. In fact, most of
these individuals--from Franklin Delano Roosevelt
to Martin Luther King, Jr., from John F. Kennedy
to Bill Clinton--came from dysfunctional
families, including three children of alcoholics;
half grew up in poor or only marginally secure
homes; most experienced discord in their
marriages; and at least two displayed signs of
mental instability. What links this
extraordinarily diverse group is an intense
ambition to succeed, and the drive to overcome
adversity. Indeed, adversity offered a vehicle to
develop the personal attributes that would define
their careers and shape the way they exercised
power.
Chafe probes the influences that forged these
men's lives, and profiles the distinctive
personalities that molded their exercise of power
in times of danger and strife. The history of the
United States from the Depression into the new
century cannot be understood without exploring
the dynamic and critical relationship between
personal history and political leadership that
these eight life stories so poignantly reveal. Professor James Sweet to lecture Wednesday, Nov 2 @ 3pm

Carla Ivey, for faculty, 2007/09/04 11:03:58
Marty Miller will be moderating a symposium the
Master of
Arts in Liberal Studies program is sponsoring,
"Anti-Americanism and
National Identity in Greece and Turkey," on
Friday, October 28, 2005,
7:00 p.m. at the John Hope Franklin Center, Room
240, Duke University.
Moderator:
Martin Miller, Professor, Department of History
Panelists:
Erdag Göknar, Visiting Assistant Professor, Slavic
and Eurasian Studies,
on Turkey:
Anti-Imperialism (and Anti-Americanism beginning
in the 1950s) has been
central to notions of Turkish identity on the
right and on the left. The
military coups of 1960, 1971, 1980, and 1997
demonstrated an ongoing
contestation over national ideals and ideologies
in the context of the
Cold War and its legacy. In retrospect, the
struggle between imperial
and national aims revealed an ironic convergence
of leftists,
nationalists, and Islamicists at the intersection
of Anti-Americanism.
Nick Omirly, MALS 2003, on Greece:
Political violence related to Anti-Americanism in
Greece has its roots
in WWII. The Greek resistance movement and
struggle for liberation
during the Nazi occupation became in turn a
struggle for the ideological
domination of modern Greece. It resulted in the
violent, ideological
divisions that characterized the Greek Civil War.
During the Cold War,
US interests in the southern Mediterranean
replaced old European
interests and became entangled in Greek politics.
My comments will
address why political violence in modern Greece
was directed towards the
US.
This symposium is intended as a seminar.
Readings from the panelists
will be made available in advance for all
participants.
Space is limited. To register, contact the MALS
office (919-684-3222;
dukemals@duke.edu).
