Governing emotions
Schools are one of many sites to incorporate emotional literacy into their institutional agenda in recent years. Alongside broader changes in social, economic and political practice, schools have welcomed emotional education as a necessary element in the training of young people. In 2007, the government introduced Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL) to secondary schools across England and Wales. The aim of the programme is to integrat…

Homespun manhood and the war against masculinity
Between the Civil War and World War I, America saw a return to militarised, heroic, warrior forms of masculinity. When the United States entered the war in 1917, however, the demands for belligerent forms of military manhood subsided, and were replaced by a desire to reattach manhood to the domestic realm. In this article, I examine a set of government programmes designed to manage soldiers' leisure time while they were stationed in training camp…
Reflections of Primitivism
At the turn of the twentieth century, America's first overseas imperial manoeuvres launched the nation into a new era of aggressive foreign policy. Simultaneously, on the domestic front, Progressive reformers fought to rescue its citizens from the dangers wrought by an increasingly urban, sedentary and ethnically diverse urban culture. Both at home and overseas, America was obsessed with civilization: its goal across scales was to transform ‘barb…

During this period psychology evolved from a philosophical field content with generalised statements about the human soul to a scientific field concerned with measuring and individuating the psyche. This paper focuses on how while psychology quickly laid claim to establishing the contours …

Playing The Part - 1 - Performing gender in America's playgrounds
Making America flesh
At the turn of the twentieth century, urban reformers across the United States became preoccupied with providing recreation facilities for urban children. Municipal park departments, boards of education and local philanthropic associations established supervised playgrounds, recreation parks, and vacation schools, in order to energize America's youth and transform its fledgling bodies into healthy future citizens. In addition to the daily schedul…
An Example to Us All
At the turn of the 20th century, children's play came under new and heightened scrutiny by urban reformers. As conditions in US cities threatened traditional notions of order, reformers sought new ways to direct urban-social development. In this paper I explore playground reform as an institutional response that aimed to produce and promote ideal gender identities in children. Supervised summer playgrounds were established across the United State…
