Central to the evolution has been the interplay between financial support from the government and faculty. In this panel Anglim will focus on land-grant legislation, status and the university, which is the oldest direct federal government support for higher education. Jacobe will explore the complex issues of tenured and contract faculty from the perspective of the university and members of the faculty. She will reflect on possible latent consequences as the older community-of-scholars model of the university has been transformed into anew administratively driven institution. Weiss will examine the centers for area studies, especially African studies, in the Cold War period and beyond. He will trace the community of government and scholarly interests that supported and debated with one another over decades as government, public policy and scholarship became increasingly intertwined in the late 20th century. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\">Open discussion will follow the papers. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/span><span class=\"yshortcuts\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\"><b>SATURDAY, December 10th<\/b><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\">Continental Breakfast (<span class=\"yshortcuts\">8:30 am<\/span>)<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\">Panel 4: Washington: A Shifting Landscape (<span class=\"yshortcuts\">9:30-11:00 am<\/span>)<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\">Moderator: Anthony Gittens, Professor emeritus, University of the District of Columbia<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\">Presenters: <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\">Dr. William Zeisel, co-author of Since 1851; Partner, QED Associates LLC<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\">Dr. Andrew Lightman, author and Managing Editor, Hill Rag<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\">Amanda <span class=\"yshortcuts\">Huron, City<\/span> Planner, <span class=\"yshortcuts\">City University of New York<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\">Description: The panel will focus on change on the District, especially after the 1960s.

Lightman will examine local political satire that fed the popular imagination of the largest US city run by African Americans in the 1970s and 80s. He will compare it with more recent political satire that reflects the city&#39;s changing economics and demography. Huron will look at gentrification, especially in the cooperative and condominium movement which began in the 70s, and which contributed to social changes that have transformed areas of the city like <span class=\"yshortcuts\">Capitol Hill<\/span>.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\">BREAK <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\">Panel 5: Black and White: Race Then and Now (<span class=\"yshortcuts\">11:30 am-12:45 pm<\/span>) <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\">Moderator: Dr. Marjorie Lightman, co-author Since 1851&#8230;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\">Presenters:<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\">Dr. G.

The choices considered and made have been shaped by black\/white politics since before the Civil War. Almost never observed and commented upon, however, is that from 1851 until 1968 public higher education in Washington also had an almost completely female student body. This panel will focus on the period of the late 1960s through 80s when black studies and women&#39;s studies were fostering fundamental changes in the traditional disciplinary canons of the arts and sciences. Musgrove will explore the politics and passions that surrounded the demand for black studies at Federal City College in 1969. Rode will reflect on the experience of being young, white, southern and female in her first &quot;real&quot; faculty position during the same tumultuous period. Price will focus to the intersections between black studies and women&#39;s studies that developed in 70s and 80s. She will explore the importance of these intersections for effective education, especially of minority women who increasingly dominate the student bodies of public universities, including the University of the District of Columbia. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\">Open discussion will follow the papers.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\">LUNCH (<span class=\"yshortcuts\">12:45-2 pm<\/span>) Concluding Discussion and Remarks <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\">All panels will be held in the Learning Resources Division (Building 41), Room A03.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;\">Space is limited.
