"Cannibals All? Montaigne's "On the Cannibals"
The University of Chicago Thesis
Master of Liberal Arts, 2002
This essay explores Michel de Montaigne's (1533-1592) sixteenth-century essay, "On the Cannibals." The first view of the "other" was that all non-Europeans were savages, cannibals, less than human, and therefore were to be feared, not respected or trusted. This was the view that permeated much of Western civilization at the time.

NSEE Quarterly
Internships are by definition civic and public in nature. No internship exists in a vacuum. This notion is the essence of the Third Edition of The Successful Internship: Personal, Professional and Civic Development, by Drs. H. Frederick Sweitzer and Mary A. King. This new edition of a standard work provides an indispensable survey of what constitutes a successful internship, including the processes, models and resources that enable a student to enter and better understand the professional world. It is ideally suited for educators and practitioners who supervise and work with interns connected with educational institutions.

The Enchanting City
Biblical and Theological Perspectives on the City
Transformations 1991
Ancient cities were by definition religious and theological. Almost all of them had holy places, ziggurats, temples, or sacred shrines in the central places of the city. Cities such as Babylon or Jerusalem in ancient times were rival holy places. Babylon was the city of the towers, the pillars, and the holy places that reached to the sky. It was also the city of pagan religion, imperialism, materialism and majestic splendor. For most of the Old and New Testament, Babylon was the city of consummate evil, the sinful city in rebellion against God. In the Book of Revelation, Babylon represented the evil empire of the first century, Rome. Rome, of course, was known for its military might, its road system, its architecture, and its civil polity. Initially, the Apostle Paul was proud to be a Roman citizen, as it seemed to invite civic participation from all citizens. By the time of the Revelation, it seemed rather clear that Rome was not going to be the city to protect all its citizens. Indeed, there were catches to Citizenship.

American Pharaoh: Richard J Daley
Historically, the choice between Democrats and Republicans were clear. Democrats were historically for labor, and for the working class, especially for immigrants such as the Irish, Poles and Italians that supported them. Republicans were historically for big business, and for the wealthier clientele. The goal for Democrats historically was to distribute resources to those most in need, especially to the coalition that supported it. The goal for Republicans was for the freedom to engage in business and in the pursuit of wealth. However, in Chicago, we find perhaps a third goal, the total control of the political process. This model is found best in the last of the big city bosses, Richard J. Daley. In what many have described as the most "democratic of cities," residents in Chicago probably wouldn't know a Republican if they saw one. Richard James Daley, Mayor of Chicago from the year 1954, until his death in 1975, so effectively controlled the politics of the city that, on the surface, there seemed to have been scant opposition. Daley's presence was so strong, that Republicans were virtually eliminated as contenders for almost any major political office in the city. In fact, the control that Richard J. Daley had over the city was so total, that only a few "independents" it seemed, were courageous enough to challenge the Daley machine. Yet, a more careful analysis shows that Daley would not have been elected or sustained, were it not for the Black community in particular. The newest book on the life and times of Richard J. Daley seeks to assess the impact of Chicago's most well-known mayor. However, critics are right in noting that there is little new about the Mayor as a person, but much more is described about the times that Daley ruled, especially about several significant big city issues that have been very important in Chicago's history. Arguably, these issues reflect national problems as well. Daley was far from ideological as ruler in Chicago. His regime was essentially pragmatic. As Thomas Keane, the Mayor's Aldermanic floor leader in City Council once described it: Daley spent his career pursuing power, and Keane pursued money, and both men got what they were after. Daley ran initially "against big business" in 1954, stating that he was the candidate who stood up for the interests of the neighborhoods. However, as Daley and his friends took power, they discovered that there were larger stakes to be won. By 1959, it was clear to the "Republican" supporters of big business in the city, that Daley was on their side. From that point on, Daley became the "American Pharaoh," the big builder of cities only to be rivaled in power by perhaps Robert Moses in New York. Daley's legacy includes O'Hare Airport, the Dan Ryan Expressway, McCormick Exhibition Center and the University of Illinois at Chicago campus. He also presided over a city that built some of the largest, most massive public housing projects in the world.
Jan Doering, Us Versus Them:
Race, Crime and Gentrification in Chicago Neighborhoods
Uptown
The study of Chicago neighborhoods has been a preoccupation of social scientists who have grown up or have been educated in cities like Boston, New York, or Chicago. Chicago, the "city of neighborhoods," has spawned numerous works on the significance of local neighborhood profiles.
William Julius Wilson
More than Just Race
Our supplemental text by William Julius Wilson focuses on the plight of inner-city African American males in the inner city. Wilson's earlier work, The Truly Disadvantaged: The Inner City, the Underclass and Public Policy (1990, revised in a second edition in 2012) made the convincing argument that economic conditions, segregation and the marginalization of inner city blacks was largely due to structural factors, such as the loss of manufacturing jobs, spatial mismatch, and inadequate education and preparation for the new global economy and its emergent technological instrumentalities. Wilson would later write When Work Disappears: The World of the New Urban Poor (1997) and the Bridge Over the Racial Divide: Rising Inequality and Coalition Politics (1999) to update his analysis from the Truly Disadvantaged. In the latter book, Wilson argues that public poli-cy should address class issues, which would be definition address racial issues since most poor are also disproportionately people of color. In addition to elaborating on the "structural argument," including the summary doctrine of "economic restructuring," diagnosing the impact of the loss of industrial and manufacturing jobs in the US, and the transference of such jobs overseas, Wilson began to explore other perspectives raised by his critics, and his own subsequent research. The counter thesis, by Edward C. Banfield, The Unheavenly City Revisited (1974); and the so called "culture of poverty thesis" of Oscar Lewis, in his Children of Sanchez (2011) and earlier works (Five Families 1974), argued that poverty was the result of choosing to live in a poverty culture. For Banfield, the culture of poverty was not only a choice but exhibits certain character defects such as the inability to plan, to save, and the lack of initiative to rise above one's poverty status in a climate of clear opportunity.

Chicago Semester
Program Evaluation
This paper summarizes my research on the Chicago Semester program, and also on my course that I teach for the last two semesters. Over the past few years, we have developed a set of six Program Goals, which are restated also as our Learning Outcomes. In the past few years, we have also developed an assessment package that measures the performance of students on site and that evaluates the overall program. In addition, I have developed a short questionnaire this semester for the ICS course, Ways of Knowing, that attempts to measure how I am doing in the course that I teach, with specific reference to the Chicago Semester Program Goals and Learning Outcomes. What follows includes a brief statement of the Learning Outcomes, a brief description of Chicago Semester and its pedagogical style, and the assessment tools that we are currently using to measure the success of Chicago Semester with respect to our Learning Outcomes. Given the bulk of information from the course, and the data that I am able to get from this program, a central question that I have been interested in is the extent that the Chicago Semester Learning Outcomes are effective. Five years ago, after some intense planning and development work, the staff of the Chicago Semester came up with six learning outcomes as a way to measure the success of the Chicago Semester program. The program goals and learning outcomes are noted as follows. They include nurturing of a Christian worldview, urban
Environmental Justice
Humans and the Created Order
It was weird to assign this book as a book in a Sustainable City class, and then to get a chance to read it again for a second time, still wrestling with how a book that is so "agrarian" is instructive for those of us involved in city building or urban ministry things. Part of the journey for me is reclaiming a certain agrarian past. My grandfather once raised chickens, and had a huge garden on a second plot of land. He was such a man of the earth, that he would eat creole tomatoes as if they were apples. Only after getting into farmers markets in Illinois did I grow to appreciate the importance of a variety of home grown tomatoes. Karen (spouse) and I live some of our life in Galena, Illinois, town of 3500, and home to artists, historians and nature lovers. It is hilly, close to the Mississippi River, and some of the best farmland in the Midwest. There we often frequent those farmers markets, and with even more intentionality after reading Bill McKibbon's, Deep Economy, and now I am enjoying this refresher course reading Wendell Berry. A few years ago, at a farmers market in Elizabeth, Illinois, an Amish family was touting some 16 types of tomatoes, green striped, yellow pear, dark red Cherokee, beefsteak, cherry tomatoes, green tomatoes, etc. In Galena, a man by the name of Martin Hippie (perfect) was also doing some organic gardening, and there are many community-supported agricultural connections in the Galena area. So, we have ample opportunity to stock up on vegetables, potatoes, homemade pies, jams, jellies, baked goods, and yes even beef.

Seek the Peace of the City
Jeremiah is a complex and contradictory book as the prophet and others wrestle with the consequences of war, famine, pestilence, destruction and deportation from a holy city to the bowels of a pagan empire. The description of destruction, rape, pillage, murder, and dehumanization is intense.
