Conservatives, the Constitution and the Quest for a ‘Representative’ House of Lords, 1911–35*

This article presents a new interpretation of Conservative attitudes towards house of lords' reform in the early 20th century. Coinciding, as it did, with the introduction of universal adult suffrage, the campaign to reform and strengthen the second chamber has traditionally been understood as a reaction against democracy. Conversely, this article, emphasizing the politics rather than policies of reform, argues that many Conservatives sought to establish a legitimate role for a second chamber within the new democratic settlement and that the campaign for reform is, consequently, better understood as a constitutional means of ‘making safe’, rather than resisting, mass democracy. The account sheds new light on how the impulse behind reform was frequently rooted in a commitment to democracy, how reform commanded the support of a wide cross section of the Conservative parliamentary party, and why the reform campaign had folded by the early 1930s. In doing so, it reframes an important episode that helped close the long‐19th‐century tradition of constitutional reform in British politics.

Urban Governance Reform Index: An Alignment of Traditional Reform and Public Choice Propositions

The persistent debate on the consolidation versus fragmentation model of government is a result of a dualist conceptualization of governance reform by two competing theories—public choice and traditional reform. Both argue for reform, but their definitions of reform are diametrically opposed and there is no appropriate instrument to measure government reform. We propose an alignment of the traditional reform and public choice traditions and an instrument to measure governance reform by an index comprised of 1) form of government, 2) home-rule status, 3) methods of election, 4) number of elected officials, and 5) number of jurisdictions. The alignment of the two theoretical camps is supported by the selection of the five reform components and their particular operationalizations.

White Mother to a Dark Race: Settler colonialism, maternalism, and the removal of Indigenous children in the American West and Australia, 1880–1940 (review)

Reviewed by: White Mother to a Dark Race: Settler colonialism, maternalism, and the removal of Indigenous children in the American West and Australia, 1880–1940 Anne Keary White Mother to a Dark Race: Settler colonialism, maternalism, and the removal of Indigenous children in the American West and Australia, 1880–1940 Margaret Jacobs. Lincoln, Nebraska: University of Nebraska Press, 2009. Margaret Jacobs’ history of Indigenous child removal in late nineteenth and early twentieth-century Australia and the United States is thoroughly researched and broad-ranging. By making the connections between child removal, the takeover of Indigenous lands, the racialist dimensions of modern nation-building, and the maternalist politics of white female reformers, Jacobs places Indigenous child removal firmly at the center of American and Australian settler-colonial history. At the same time, in focusing on the role of women and exploring the histories of child removal from a comparative perspective, Jacobs’ book extends the study of gender and empire and deepens historical understanding of settler-colonial relations in both countries. For readers unaccustomed to thinking of the United States as a settler colonial nation, Jacobs begins by drawing the parallels between American and Australian histories of dispossessing Indigenous peoples and establishing new settler societies on their lands, while noting that Americans, unlike the British in Australia, did enter into treaties with Indigenous peoples. In her second chapter, Jacobs examines the formulation of Indigenous child removal policies, pointing out that in both post-Civil War America and post-federation Australia, officials came to view child removal as a means of solving the “problem” of Indigenous peoples’ continued existence in nations being redefined as modern, unified and white. The crucial difference was that in the United States, reformers framed removal as necessary to the cultural assimilation of Indian children into the American republic, whereas in Australia officials looked to removal as a means of facilitating the racial or biological “absorption” of Aboriginal “half-castes,” particularly girls, into the white Australian population. As a consequence American Indian children were returned from boarding schools to continue the work of tribal “uplift,” whereas in Australia “half-caste” children were removed permanently. In both cases, Jacobs stresses that removal was not a benign alternative to violence and military conquest but a continuation of settler-colonial efforts to dispossess Indigenous peoples of their lands, this time by breaking Indigenous children’s attachments to their kin and countries. In Chapter 3 Jacobs turns to the work of the white female reformers who played such a crucial role in justifying Indigenous child removal. They did so, paradoxically as Jacobs shows, by representing Indigenous women as unfit mothers and homemakers, even as they used the mantle of white motherhood to argue for a great voice in public policy for themselves. At the cost of Indigenous women’s rights, many of these women advanced their own careers as anthropologists, missionaries or government appointees in fields that had been occupied solely by men. Jacobs notes that American women, supported by stronger organizations and a tradition of evangelical reform, enjoyed more success in this regard than their Australian counterparts who lacked such support and faced stronger hostility from male officials. The greater part of Jacobs’ study examines the experiences of white female reformers and the Indigenous children who suffered removal and institutionalization at their hands. With a wealth of archival material, Jacobs makes excellent use of personal stories to show us how removal worked at the level of intimate human relations. Throughout she tracks the parallels and differences between the two contexts. In her examination of child removal practices in Chapter 4, Jacobs finds that while removal was a traumatic experience for all Indigenous people, in the United States officials did at least raise the issue of parental consent and Indian parents tended to have more leverage. In Australia, by contrast, officials regularly took children without parental consent, often at a much younger age. In Chapter 5, Jacobs shows that in both countries white female reformers tended to engage “in tactical intimate associations with Indigenous families,” befriending and then betraying them in their commitment to the goal of removing and transforming their children. Chapters 6 and 7 examine the institutions to which Indigenous children...

Safekeeping and Sifting: Observations on the German Reformed Tradition, 1900-1930

Abstract The German Reformed tradition between 1900 and 1930 has received little interest. Much more attention has been given to the Reformed churches during the National Socialist era and on acknowledging the massive influence of Karl Barth. The article gives an overview of the minority denomination of the Reformed confession in Germany. On the one hand we see that the Reformierte Bund, founded in 1884, breaks up during the Calvin jubilee of 1909. On the other hand, the crisis after World War I brought further difficulties. In the nineteen-twenties, a discussion grew about the function of the Reformed Confessions—are they to be kept intact and normative (so the Young Reformed line) or should they function to sift and sort out what is needed in each era and location (so Karl Barth)?

Concerns about the future of creation order

The theological background to the notion of the law of nature/ creation order is indispensable to the reformational tradition, which recognises that these laws are the Creator?s will, and therefore holds a “necessity” view of these laws. There has, however, been a longstanding debate about the nature of law within the reformational tradition, where its origin and its status as boundary between God and creation have been questioned. In this article I will investigate how Trinitarian theology, specifically that of Robert W. Jenson, relates to process philosophy and theology, and how together they create some theological concerns about the future of creation order. Some of the concerns include the following: that the necessity of order is questioned (the disappearance of a Creator who wills these laws); that order is temporal and in constant change; and that the boundary between God and creation is weakened. I will raise some objections to these aspects, but will also highlight some questions the reformational tradition has to answer in terms of its understanding of the immanence of God and of the implicated theological basis for the creation order. These questions are of the utmost importance for the understanding of the future of creation order.

Neither Revolution Nor Reform: A New Strategy for the Left

For over a century, liberals and radicals have seen the possibility of change in capitalist systems from one of two perspectives: the reform tradition assumes that corporate institutions remain central to the system but believes that regulatory policies can contain, modify, and control corporations and their political allies. The revolutionary tradition assumes that change can come about only if corporate institutions are eliminated or transcended during an acute crisis, usually but not always by violence. But what happens if a system neither reforms nor collapses in crisis?

Summit Tackles Speech-Language Provider Roles

The goal of establishing this continuum is to clarify, articulate, and support the regulation of credentials, models of service delivery, and clearly differentiated roles among those providing services to individuals with communication disorders, primarily in educational settings. ASHA convened the “Speech-Language Pathology Professional Summit: Clarifying and Promoting the Regulation of Clearly Differentiated Provider Roles” July 22–23 in Tysons Corner, Va. The planning committee included Alina de la Paz, Janet Deppe, Laura Campbell-Young, Perry Flynn, Tom Hallahan, Michael Kimbarow, Monica Marrufo, Lemmietta McNeilly, Julie Noel, and Ashley Northam. The summit included several presentations. Shelley Chabon, 2011 ASHA president-elect, spoke on “The Professional Summit: Structured for Success.” Tommie L. Robinson Jr., 2010 ASHA president, provided a rich historical perspective of support personnel dating back to 1967 in “Building on a Tradition of ASHA Reform: What We Can Learn From the Past.” Barbara Ehren offered her perspective in “A Leadership Summons from the Field.” In the plenary session, “A Dialogue on the Issues,” Judy Rudebusch and Monica Marruffo provided an overview of the appropriate use of support personnel to enhance service delivery in the Irving, Texas, school district. In small groups, the participants addressed issues in three categories: delineating and standardizing the roles of various providers (SLPs, those who hold a bachelor’s degree, and SLPAs), defining and standardizing the appropriate skills, competencies, and responsibilities of the various providers, and delineating these roles and responsibilities in legislation. Participants divided into groups based on their positions (state departments of education, academic programs, school districts, supervisors of SLPAs, state licensure boards, and SLPAs) to address how they would engage colleagues to implement summit recommendations. In addition, lunchtime roundtable discussions focused on reimbursement (policies, restrictions, disincentives, protocols, regulations, etc.), the challenge of educating SLPAs, the challenge of educating potential SLPA employers, the challenge of educating the public, the scope of SLPA supervision, considerations regarding clinical experience, and capacity issues and opportunities. The summit outcomes provided recommendations for participants to pursue in their home states as well as recommendations that will be shared with the ASHA Board of Directors. The recommendations call for: Clarity regarding the roles and relationships of SLPs to others in the professional continuum of speech-language service delivery. Further discussions among the academic community and ASHA regarding education of future service providers to work together to deliver services appropriately. Common nomenclature for those who deliver services—specifically support personnel—to individuals with communication disorders. Continuing development of knowledge and competencies required for supervision of support personnel, graduate students, clinical fellows, and colleagues changing practice settings or populations. Research to assess the efficacy of various service delivery models that use individuals across the professional continuum. Tenets for model legislation and regulations that reflect the continuum of service delivery. For more information, visit ASHA’s 2011 SLP Professional Summit webpage.
