Re: [tips] A TIPS-vention in NYC
Oh somebody just hit my Boston button! Sorry for the non-psych related yada yada .. but its one of the truly _walkable_ and historic cities in the US. There are few greater thrills greater than walking around at night (well, Cambridge mostly, but ..) amidst students, bicycles, tourists etc etc etc. Every other block is an historic site. I finally broke down last year and took the Duck boat tour ... a must-do for Boston. These are the amphibious boats form WWII and you get a tour of the city that ends with the Duck boat getting into the Charles River for the last leg. I did not check out the William James but its my understanding he died after hiking Mt. Chocorua in NH. When I was in grad school I make a field there and inquired at the library and got some info on the James estate there which apparently had passed to another family. The librarian made a few phone calls and tried to get someone to show me the house but nobody was home. Memories are imperfect but I remember seeing a clay tennis court from the road. p.s. the worst thing the Sox (notice I said THE Sox!) ever did was win a few world series. Prior to that, with the curse and all, they were the beloved team of poets, historians, and champions of lost causes. Now they are just another team ... but we still have the cubbies :-) == John W.

What Red Sox/Yankees war? Boston has to have a professional ball team before they can take on the Yankees! ;-) But I digress. Yes, I know Boston has many good things about it and anyone who has seen Ben Affleck's The Town or Martin Scorcese's The Departed know that South Boston and other areas are great places of local color, as reflected in this Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Mob#Boston And how about history? Great Boston history such as that covered here: http://www.bostonorganizedcrime.com/ And folks at next year's EPA in Boston should drink a toast to one of their local heroes like James Whitey Bulger; see: http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/gangsters_outlaws/mob_bosses/james_whitey_bulger/index.html Y'know, there are many things about Boston that would make a New Yorker feel right at home. ;-) By the way, have I mentioned that the gangster Henry Hill, portrayed by Ray Liotta in Martin Scorcese's Goodfellas opted out of the witness program and got involved with the Museum of the American Gangster over on St. Mark's Place in the East Village? See: http://museumoftheamericangangster.org/ Unfortunately, Mr. Hill died last year. A wiseguy to the end; see: http://museumoftheamericangangster.org/?p=1829 Anyway, there has been a long standing rivalry between Boston and New York in many areas but, in general, it has been good natured.

[tips] A TIPS-vention in NYC

And, having seen pictures of Miguel and Chris, I can say they look better in person. ;-) Michael gave a fine talk on the real history of the development of psychology at NYU. As I said to him at the time, it is often a challenge for historians to get all the details right about particular institutions, especially when they are having to deal with several at a time (as Michael's paper showed with respect to NYU). This is true but some mistakes are just so huge (e.g., New York City University? I wonder about the accuracy of the info about the other schools in the source as well as why historians who should know better don't call shenanigans on this source). There is nothing like having a local person do the basic history of an institution because they have ready access the archival materials that are not always easily available to the more distant historian. Being local, they can go back to the sources again and again as new questions and inconsistencies arise. Consider it for your own school. I second that. It is a good idea to know the history of one's institution and how psychology developed there (especially if one's school started out as a normal college, that is, a college for educating teachers, such as Hunter College-CUNY and Montclair State University). That being said, though I had access to some archival materials (e.g., unpublished papers by NYU faculty who were not historians but tried to recall what happened during particular spans of time) I chose not to use them because other public sources turned out to be more accurate. Certain documents are hard to get, such as college catalogs, college publications, student publications which might be kept in local college archives but one might find copies available at other colleges and/or the Hathi Trust which contains Google's digitalized copies of materials in the New York Public Library, Harvard, Michigan, University of California, and other colleges. Though access to the Hathi Trust is limited at this time (an institution has to subscribe to get access), a number of digitalized works in the public domain are turning up on the books.google.com website. I would also point out that some college archives can turn out to be surprisingly limited. Consider the Hall archives at Clark University. I had been in touch with the archivist there about the presence of any correspondence between Hall and an NYU faculty member. None could be found. I asked whether there was correspondence for the journal Pedagogical Seminary which Hall edited because the NYU faculty had published there. Turns out that there is nothing available on the correspondence better the editor and any authors for the early issues that Hall edited. I think this might also be the case for the American Journal of Psychology. It would have been of some interest to see what the exchanges were between editor and authors for those early publications. -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.

Re: [tips] A TIPS-vention in NYC - Personal Highlights
I second that Chris; it's always great to meet TIPSters and other colleagues at conferences. Vinny Prohasca (Lehman College) was also there, but he has not posted to TIPS in a while and so I am not sure whether he is on TIPS anymore. I did run into current TIPSter Joe Horton (Grove City College) and there may have been a few others who attended, but who I might not have recognized. Please chime in if you did. In addition to meeting Mike Palij for the first time (I'm certain that I had already met Chris at an earlier meeting), there were a couple of highlights that I wish to share with you all. But, before I do so let me say that I had known about Mike since 1989 when I taught a Research Methods course at the former School of Continuing Education at NYU. At the time, the chair of that program had given Mike's syllabus for me to use as a guide. It was so good that I had kept to use for future courses that I taught at SJU. In time I eventually misplaced the syllabus, but I knew I had it. Well, a few months ago I found it, scanned it and sent it to him. And, after so many years I finally met him in person yesterday. Small world ... Anyway, when I first browsed through the EPA program and read about the interview with Jerome Bruner, I misread it to mean that they would show a taped interview. After all, I knew that if Brunner was even alive he would have been very advanced in age. Man-o-man ... The guy is 98 years old and he was there in the flesh ; very clear minded and articulate for such an advanced age. What a pleasant surprise that was. I thoroughly enjoyed the interview. Another interesting tid bit, was the presence of Phil Zimbardo. Nothing new there for he has been to EPA on a number of occasions. I did not attend his session as I have heard him before and was somewhat familiar with his message. Besides, I knew it would be overcrowded. Oh, dear and was it overcrowded! The audience for this talk was so large that it had spilled out into the hall way. Afterwards, I went by that general area and noticed a long line of people. I asked a group of students who were on line What's the line for. A student replied: for Philip Zimbardo, to which I replied for what? to which she replied to for people to shake hands with him and have their picture taken with him. Imagine that. Well, the guy sat there for about an hour shaking hands, hugging, and having his picture taken with individuals and groups. Frankly, I thought that was very gracious of him, though for that type of rock star treatment I will let EPA know that I, too, will be available next year to shake students' hands. ;-) F inally, I wish to share the following. I've been attending EPA regularly for over 20 years and me and a few other regulars often brag about how many students from our respective schools we bring and/or are listed as co-authors in presentations, etc. I never kept exact counts, but one of our highest attendance years was back in the late 1990s with close to 10 co-authors and a total of 20 students in attendance. This year, I heard from George Spilich, an EPA regular from Washington College (he used to manage EPA's web page), who shared with me that they had brought about 35 students this year and that they had shattered a record for the number of student co-authors: 60! They presented a total of 21 papers with 6 faculty co-authors. And the college has approximately 120 majors. Can you imagine that? Talk about involving students in research I thought that was a wonderful accomplishment worth sharing with you.
