BULLETIN BOARD
NOTES ON MEMBERS AND THEIR RESEARCH AND PUBLICATIONS:
Congratulations to Timothy Mitchell on the publication of Flamenco Deep Song (Yale University Press). Professor Mitchell now is working on The Right to Hate: A Psychohistory of Spanish Anticlericalism. To Scott Thompson on The Price of Achievement in the Reagan Years (Castle, 1994). And to George M. Kren and Leon H. Rappoport on the release of a revised paperback edition of The Holocaust and the Crisis of Human Behavior (Holmes and Meier).
NETWORKING INQUIRIES: Andrew Brink would like to start a new Research Group on psychological characteristics of founding families, especially in the New Netherlands colony he knows so much about. If interested, write him at 382 Moxley Road, Greensville (Dundas), Ontario, L9H 5L5. Norman Simms (University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand) would like to organize a Group on the formation of modern consciousness in the 17th and 18th centuries.
TRAVEL: Conalee and Lee Shneidman have just returned from a trip to the Far East. Joni and Peter Petschauer traveled last year to Vladikavkaz, Ossetia (an autonomous Russian republic next to Chechneya). Don Hughes, after resting from a month of doing environmental history and giving a paper at the World Archeological Congress in India in the late fall, took a trip to the Amazon rain forest in Peru. Ted Goertzel recently visited his son, “the professor,” at the University of Waikato in New Zealand and had a nice conversation with Norman Simms. The world certainly feels smaller.
SUNBELT MOVES: The onset of winter found Marga Speicher on the move from New Jersey to San Antonio, Texas, and B.K. Ramanujam from Chicago to Bakersfield, California. We hope these members-at-a-distance enjoy their new environs.
AUDIO CONFERENCE REPORTS: Mary Coleman of our War, Peace and Conflict Resolution Research Group had an interesting conference with Professor Elovitz’ psychohistory seminar at Ramapo College in which she described the theory of the nonviolent confrontation she participated in as a member of the Congress of Research Group involved Ramapo psychohistory and Western civilization students in their research.
HOLOCAUST EDUCATION: Teaching about the Holocaust and genocide is now required in New York and New Jersey so Paul Elovitz gave an all-day workshop on a psychohistorical approach to teaching these subjects to seventy-five high school teachers last December 6th that was sponsored by the Ramapo Holocaust Center. The emotional high point of the workshop was the comments of a Bosnian student which served as a reminder of the genocidal dangers in our world.
OMISSIONS: In our December issue we omitted, in a list of Professor Rudy Binion’s psychohistorical/psychobiographical works in English, two fine books we heard about at our Forum meetings while they were being written: After Christianity (1986) and Love Beyond Death (1993). We also neglected to thank Ted Goertzel for his assistance in producing that issue.
MEETINGS: The Group for the Use of Psychology in History (GUPH) held a standing-room-only meeting last January 6 at the American Historical Association Meeting in Chicago at which Fred Weinstein of SUNY presented “Contemporary Issues on Psychohistory.” Congratulations to Vivian Ann Rosenberg of Drexel University and the Forum who was the recipient of the $400 Langer Prize for the best article in The Psychohistory Review in the last three years. The Group for the Psychohistorical Study of Film will examine Pulp Fiction and Rebel Without a Cause on March 11, 1995, in New York City. Andrew Brink will present at the Forum’s next meeting on April 8 (Saturday) (see page 18). The International Society for Political Psychology (ISPP) is meeting in Washington July 5-9, 1995, and the theme is “Nation-Building and Democracy in Multicultural Societies.”
OUR THANKS to our members and friends for their support which makes Clio’s Psyche possible. To Patrons Herb Barry and an anonym; a Sustaining Member — Ralph Colp; Supporting Members Andrew Brink, Alexander Papiasvili, Marga Speicher and Jerome Wolf; to new Contributing Members Arthur Mack and Scott Thompson. Our thanks for thought-provoking materials to Herb Barry, Mary Coleman, Alberto Fergusson, Ted Goertzel, Don Hughes, George Kren, Leon Rappoport, Norman Simms and Charles Strozier.
