【ゲスト講演者紹介】※フライヤーより
- Historian Kathleen Dalton wrote Theodore Roosevelt: A Strenuous Life (Alfred A. Knopf, 2002), a biography, and a book about Phillips Academy, the oldest boys’ boarding school in the U.S. Educated at Mills College and Johns Hopkins University, she has taught at Phillips Academy and Boston University, and has received a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship and a research fellowship at the Charles Warren Center at Harvard University. She is working on a book about The Dinner Club, a group that formed a strong political friendship with Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt during World War I. Her topic for a talk: President Theodore Roosevelt’s foreign policy views were influenced by his views about manhood. He respected countries with strong defense capabilities and a strong central nation-state and looked down on countries in decline. Perhaps even more unusual for an American president, he had been influenced by a scholar of Japan, a Buddhist, and art collector named William Sturgis Bigelow who taught him about the samurai tradition in Japan.
- E. Anthony Rotundo is a historian of U.S. social and cultural history, with a specialization in gender. He helped to found the historical study of men and masculinity and wrote the pathbreaking study, American Manhood: Transformations in Masculinity from the Revolution to the Modern Era (Basic Books, 1993). He has written popular articles on the subject for publications such as Washington Post Book World and The Boston Globe, in addition to many scholarly articles on the history of the family, the life cycle, male friendship, and popular culture. He is currently working on a book about the relationship between white masculinity and the rise of conservatism in the late 20th century U.S. His topic for a talk: The definition of manhood in America changed in fateful ways around the turn of the 20th century. One fundamental source of change was a rethinking of the relationship between manhood and boyhood. As men embraced qualities of boyhood, they opened possibilities and created new difficulties for themselves and others, in realms from politics to popular culture.
