Creating a Local Notable
To the extent he is remembered today, Brigadier General Anthony Walton White is hailed as one of New Brunswick, New Jersey’s, most illustrious residents and a reminder of the city’s significance during the American Revolution. This account of White’s career reveals that he was far from successful in the military or in business. Born to wealth on an estate along the Raritan River, White relied on family ties and political connections to gain appoi…
An Integrated Methodological Approach for Documenting Individual and Collective Mathematical Progress
In this paper we advance a methodological approach for documenting the mathematical progress of learners as an integrated analysis of individual and collective activity. Our approach is grounded in and expands the emergent perspective by integrating four analytic constructs: individual meanings, individual participation, collective mathematical practices, and collective disciplinary practices. Using video data of one small group of four students …

From Garden State to Gun Control State
In 1966, the New Jersey legislature passed An Act Concerning Firearms and Other Dangerous Weapons, which imposed significant regulations on gun buyers and dealers. Two years later, members of Congress frequently cited the Garden State’s tough gun control law as a model for the Gun Control Act of 1968. Although New Jersey’s 1966 firearms law has received little attention from scholars, the battle over gun control in New Jersey marked a significant…
American Cities in the Age of Inequality
Creating Segregation in the Era of Integration
New Brunswick High School, which had been racially integrated for decades, became majority-minority (and soon, all minority) in the 1970s, after years of legal wrangling led hundreds of its students to depart for a new, nearly all-white high school in the adjacent suburb of North Brunswick. White suburbanites invoked “local control” to justify building their own high school and battled against both New Brunswick and the New Jersey Department of E…
Women 1.5 Times More Likely to Leave STEM Pipeline after Calculus Compared to Men
The substantial gender gap in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce can be traced back to the underrepresentation of women at various milestones in the career pathway. Calculus is a necessary step in this pathway and has been shown to often dissuade people from pursuing STEM fields. We examine the characteristics of students who begin college interested in STEM and either persist or switch out of the calculus sequ…
This thing has ceased to be a joke
For your race, in its poverty, has unquestionably one really effective weaponlaughter.Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution-these can lift at a colossal humbug-push it a little-weaken it a little, century by century; but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast.Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand.You are always fussing and fighting with your other weapons.Do you ever use that one?No; you leave it lying ru…
Carnival in the Countryside
More than a century and a half after its founding, the Iowa State Fair is the state's central institution, event, and symbol. During its annual run each August, this fair attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors who make the pilgrimage to the fairground to see the iconic butter cow, to ride the Old Mill, to walk through the livestock barns, and to people-watch. At the same time that they enjoy fried candy bars and roller coasters, Iowans also c…
A Web of Tension”
Historians have recently examined the Civil Rights movement in the North and the links between its nonviolent tactics and the violent protest that erupted in many Northern cities in the 1960s. In 1967, unrest arose in Newark, Detroit, and many other cities. New Brunswick, only twenty-five miles from Newark, experienced protests on two successive nights in July 1967, but averted loss of life and massive destruction of property. The report of the K…
A Century of Recorded Music
"Good music," Mark Twain once quipped, "is a lot better than it sounds." In that spirit, music historian Timothy Day suggests that a thorough appreciation of Western classical music requires attention not only to composition and performance but also to the larger economic, social, and technological contexts in which music is created, disseminated, and heard. Day's book suggests a new approach to the history of classical music, one that moves beyo…
Jobs Galore for Robots
This essay examines the hotly-debated issue of 'technological unemployment' in the 1920s and 1930s by analysing the remarkable take-off and publicity surrounding coin-operated machines, specifically vending machines, pinball games, and jukeboxes. These machines were commonly described in anthropomorphic terms as 'robots', and were alternately hailed as liberating workers from dreary jobs or castigated for tossing salesclerks and entertainers out …
