Podcasts about david goldfield

Public lecture and conversation with Professor David Goldfield. Pundits are calling next year’s presidential election the most important election of our time. At stake is the future direction of American domestic and foreign policy. Although that is true of our presidential elections, generally, it is especially significant in 2020 since Democrats and Republicans differ on many of the major issues such as trade, climate change, immigration, education, and health care. Two key factors, independent of the candidates, will also play a role in electing our next President: our unique Electoral College system and the strategies of winning 270 electoral votes and, therefore, the presidency; and, how the nation’s changing demographics will impact the vote. David Goldfield is the Robert Lee Bailey Professor of History at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte. A native of Memphis, he grew up in Brooklyn and attended the University of Maryland. He is the author or editor of sixteen books including two, Cotton Fields and Skyscrapers (1982) and Black, White, and Southern (1991), nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in history. His most recently published book is America Aflame: How the Civil War Created a Nation (2011). His newest book, The Gifted Generation, about life and the transformation of American politics after the Second World War (2017) was described by NPR as one of the “great books to hunker down with in 2018.” Goldfield is the Editor of the Journal of Urban History, and serves as Distinguished Lecturer for the Organization of American Historians and as an expert witness in voting rights cases. He is Past President of the Southern Historical Association (2012-2013). His hobbies include reading southern novels, watching baseball, and listening to the music of Gustav Mahler and Buddy Holly.

This week at In The Past Lane, the American History podcast, we look at the decades following World War II when the federal government passed civil rights laws and enacted social programs concerning public health, housing, education, transportation, and anti-poverty initiatives that aimed to provide opportunity and spread prosperity to the greatest number of citizens. To explain how this era of activist government succeeded – and then how it was scaled back after 1980, I speak with historian David Goldfield about his new book, The Gifted Generation: When Government Was Good. For the past few decades in the US, anti-government rhetoric has become a major force in American politics. Conservatives insist that government has grown too big and too expensive. Many also claim that it tramples the liberty of individuals through onerous regulations concerning the environment, the economy, the workplace, and education. But there was a time in the not too distant past when Americans liked and benefitted from big government. It started in the 1930s when President FDR’s administration responded to the Great Depression with a vast array of policies and programs known as the New Deal. But it really ramped up from 1945 – 1969 during the administrations of Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson. In those decades an activist federal government enacted laws and policies promoting civil rights, public health, housing, education, transportation, and anti-poverty programs.  This era of activist government greatly expanded opportunity for success and upward mobility for millions of Americans, boosted the economy, and extended life expectancy.      But then in the 1970s, a conservative political movement that had been gaining momentum since the 1960s, began to push back against activist government, denouncing it as socialist and wasteful. And before long, the US began to shrink or eliminate the programs that had opened up opportunity for so many in the postwar years. To learn more about this history of the rise and fall of activist government in US history, I’ll speak with historian David Goldfield, author of The Gifted Generation: When Government Was Good.  In the course of our conversation, David Goldfield discusses: How three presidents, Truman, Eisenhower, and Johnson in part due to their own humble origins, supported laws that expanded civil rights and access to education, as well as programs that reduced poverty.   How these programs emanated from a commitment to the Commonwealth ideal -  the notion that the purpose of government is to enact laws and policies that promote the general welfare of the citizenry. How and why in the 1970s American conservatives began to demonize activist government and preach a doctrine of radical individualism and free market capitalism. How the presidency of Ronald Reagan began a decades long retreat from programs and policies that reduced inequality and provided broad opportunity to the largest number of Americans.  David Goldfield is professor of history at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He is the author of 16 books, including Black, White, and Southern: Race Relations and Southern Culture and Cotton Fields and Skyscrapers: Southern City and Region, both of which were nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.    Recommended reading:  David Goldfield, The Gifted Generation: When Government Was Good (Bloomsbury, 2017).  Kevin M.

今回はクリッピング拾い読みで、音声解説や字幕が提供されている映像ソフトのデータベース、Bootstrap4とWAI-ARIA、CAPTHAを解読するブラウザー・アドオンRumolaについて話しています。 写真：本館立て替えのため2015年8月31日で本館の営業が終了したホテルオークラのロビー前の天井の照明。オークラの照明といえばこれだなぁ、と私はいつも思っています。あ、ポッドキャストの内容とは全く関係ありません。 オープニング・トーク なぜかアイドルの話をしています。そして植木は謎の物まねに磨きをかけて、そして料理のレパートリーを増やす宣言をしています。 (?) AccSellクリッピング拾い読み AccSellクリッピングで紹介した話題から、AccSellの3人が気になったものを取り上げるこのコーナー、まずはizuizuがDVD & Blu-ray 字幕・音声ガイド 情報（ベータ版）を取り上げています。 つづいて植木が、「Vol.1-Bootstrap4に学ぶ、アクセシビリティ(WAI-ARIA)対応のレスポンシブWebサイト制作」という記事を取り上げて、WAI-ARIAについて話しています。 そして中根は、CAPTCHAを解読してくれるFirefox/Safari/Chrome向けアドオンのRumolaを紹介しています。 AccSell Meetup 010 そして最後に、9月13日に開催するAccSell Meetup 010 『Web制作者のためのNVDA入門』のお知らせをしています。まだ間に合いますので、ぜひ多くの方にご参加いただければと思います。 収録後記 いやあ、今年の夏風邪は大変だ。治ったと思ったら、延々とくすぶったままです。子どもたちの間では手足口病なるものが流行っているようですが、9月になったし、この夏風邪も早くすっきりと治ってほしいものです。皆さんもお気をつけくださいませ！ (植木 真） 1962年（昭和37年）5月20日に開業したホテルオークラ東京の本館立て替えのため2015年8月31日でいまの本館営業が終了ということで、時間を縫って最後の本館を覗きに行ったら、同じような人たちと報道陣でロビーはごった返していて、なんというか本来のオークラの雰囲気はあまり感じられなかったのですが、50年以上経っていてもかっこいいのはやっぱりかっこいいな、と思いました。リニューアルオープンは2019年らしく、内装デザインはいまの本館と同じ感じになるという噂なので、その噂を信じたいと思います！ (山本 和泉） 今回取り上げたCAPTCHAですが、この手法が登場した当初は、本来はCAPTCHAがあってもさして意味がないような所に設置されているのをしばしば目にした記憶があります。おそらく、CAPTCHAのように見た目に存在が分かりやすいものを設置することで、「セキュリティーに配慮しているんだぞ」というアピールをしているのかなと思ったものです。アクセシビリティーにおいては、文字サイズ変更ボタンやいわゆるスキップリンクが同じような位置づけなのではないかと僕は思っています。ただ、最近はそのようなCAPTCHAは随分減ったような印象です。アクセシビリティーにおいても、同様に本当に意味があるものだけを実装するような動きになれば良いのにな、などと思います。 (中根 雅文） AccSellクリッピングの関連記事 Rumola/Great Captcha Solver for Firefox/Chrome/Safari (Thoughts from David Goldfield) アクセシビリティ対応に役立つフロントエンドフレームワーク5選！ (RiARiSE) DVD & Blu-ray 字幕・音声ガイド 情報（ベータ版） (メディア・アクセス・サポートセンター) Vol.1-Bootstrap4に学ぶ、アクセシビリティ(WAI-ARIA)対応のレスポンシブWebサイト制作 (RiARiSE)
