▼ This paper explores issues of identity and difference in art and its institutions through a historiographic study of two landmark exhibitions, "The Other Story: Afro-Asian Artists in Post-War Britain" (1989) and the 1993 Whitney Biennial. These exhibits intended to bring recognition to a marginalized group of artists, but were largely seen in critical literature to have perpetuated the binary distinctions and terms of difference that originated and maintained that marginalization. In order to fully understand the historical significance of these two exhibitions, in terms of their critical aims and reception, this thesis examines the specific social contexts in which they took place. By examining contemporary critical responses to each exhibition, it also highlights common issues that prevented these exhibitions from being viewed as successes at the time they were staged. The limitations and contradictions inherent in art institutions will be explored in depth, since they appeared in the terms, narratives, and criteria that were used to frame and organize both exhibitions. In exposing them, this thesis claims that the framing conditions of the exhibitions prevented them from achieving their stated aims. Particular attention will also be paid to the problematic articulation of difference that manifested itself as a fetishization of difference or a "burden of representation" in "The Other Story" and the 1993 Biennial. Kobena Mercer used the term "burden of representation" in 1990 to refer to the expectation placed on black artists, and exhibitions about black artists, to stand as representative of a cultural group or its contributions. In "The Other Story" and the 1993 Biennial, this burden is placed on the exhibitions as a whole and the artists featured, not only to represent black art, but the art of other marginalized groups as well, and this burden leads to the reification and fetishization of external difference. These two products of the articulation of difference are related and, in these exhibitions, serve to perpetuate binary distinctions, limit interpretations of artworks, reduce complex social problems, and affect the understanding of the exhibitions and the artists they feature. Finally, this thesis explores the historical legacy of these two exhibitions and relates the questions of identity and difference they illuminate to broader struggles for cultural pluralism at the end of the twentieth century.

Re-Orienting Refugee Representation? A Multimodal Analysis of Syrian Refugee Representation on the social media platform Humans of New York.

▼ This major research paper (MRP) examines a selection of photo-narratives presented by the social media account Humans of
New York, focusing on a series that documented Syrian refugees in the fall of 2015. It seeks to answer the following questions: How does the HONY platform frame the Syrian Refugee crisis? Which visual, textual, and multimodal elements are mostprevalent in the sample? How does HONY’s representations of Syrian refugees contribute to or challenge the discourse of Orientalism and Othering? Does the HONY coverage provide the
opportunity for a more humanizing, compassionate perspective? To answer these questions, I coded the twenty most “liked” posts from the series for various visual, narrative, and multimodal elements. A codebook was developed from the literature review on Orientalism, neo-Orientalism, media representations of Islam, and media representations of refugees, as well as from theories of visual social semiotics, narrative analysis, and multimodal communication. The findings of this MRP question how alternative media platforms may challenge or reinforce traditional tropes utilized by mainstream media to represent a marginalized group such as Syrian refugees. The results suggest that while alternative platforms may challenge aspects of the Orientalist discourse and highlight a shared sense of humanity, the continuity of this discourse is seen to adapt through more subtle manifestations. The HONY audience is more likely to affirm representations that fit within the neo-liberal notion of who is an acceptable and “worthy” refugee. Based on the findings, this study is relevant to how professional communicators and audiences engage with media representations of marginalized groups, particularly in the current sociopolitical environment that is witnessing the unprecedented mass movement of displaced peoples.

▼ The World Trade Center attack, September 11, 2001 represents an unprecedented tragedy in America. There is general consensus that a memorial should be built on site. Memorials are a way our society assigns significance to events and collectively provides a place for mourning. However, the nature of this memorial is highly disputed. Pressures, aside from those to build a memorial to victims, exist. The site may be required to re-establish the economy, revitalize Lower Manhattan, recreate a symbol of
New York, and reassert American values. My thesis explores the precedent for integrating functional and sacred spaces to satisfy these demands. Four critical design elements: height, architecture, circulation, and activity can be used to preserve memory while re-establishing an urban environment. By integrating memorial with
new uses it may be possible to recognize the past, facilitate healing through both remembrance and responsive action, and provide for a vibrant future.

▼ The spatial extent of
New York City’s Chinatown has
expanded since changes to immigration laws were instituted in 1965.
As a direct result, Chinatown is experiencing an increase in
population where the northern boundary of the enclave has moved
across the traditional defining line, Canal Street, and into
neighboring enclaves. By examining the population of Chinese per
census tract, and using a preordained threshold, a block group can
then be deemed Chinese or non Chinese and the expansion of the
enclave can be mapped. The implications of this are not only felt
in
New York City, but provide an example as to how legislation can
be crucial to changing the spatial layout of an urban
setting.

▼ Circulation is the way by which people move and interact with a piece of architecture. In public buildings, such as transportation terminals, it is crucial to have a floor plan that allows easy flow of pedestrian traffic. Effective circulation in public areas such as these ensures a visitor can navigate conveniently and efficiently. Also, using circulation elements such as elevators, escalators, and staircases, optimizes the flow of individuals through a building while providing visual appeal as they can be positioned and designed creatively
Within my thesis I am investigating the relation between the physical presence of architecture and the possibilities to provide order and sensualisation throught its circulation system. Humans follow specific quotes of orientation, but architecture can especially offer certain guidelines. Although structural solutions require essential knowledge, this thesis further requests the double use of structure as a circulation pathway in addition. The high-scale urban environment of
New York City provides ground for this investigation.

▼ Short description :
The research understands the biodiversity as a complex system and translates it into principles and tools to achieve a special interface between natural ecosystems (planet) and human consciousness (people) not only based on economic value.
With these tools, habitats' opportunities for other species than human are created, used and increased within the urban ecosystem of NYC in order to resolve current issues, to prevent others and to make the
city less vulnerable as ecosystem. This risk cover for life principle is the very base of biodiversity.
The design of the Port authority Bus terminal of
New York City as an eco-infrastructure experiences one strategy to link the people (in that case, the bus station with the commuting experience) and the natural environment through a service needed by the urban ecosystem yet answered with a biosphere tool : a waste water management machine.
Through this project, transportation layers are overlapping activities both recreational and professional to offer a more livable and less stress environment for commuting, living and working. In that concern, the materialization of the ensemble is bridging non-biodegradable matter with both biodegradable and organic matter in order to achieve different time-related spatial perspectives.

▼ This dissertation examines the origins of a planning controversy over the redevelopment of Coney Island, a world-famous, historic, seaside amusement district in Brooklyn, New York. In 2009, the Bloomberg Administration passed a major rezoning of the neighborhood in an effort to attract development to the area. This measure inspired opposition from individuals who felt that the proposal did not honor the neighborhood's history. My research focuses on the hegemonic rationality that shaped the City's plan and on the competing logics and desires that inspired its opposition. Wide agreement about Coney Island's heritage value and foremost attributes - its diversity, authenticity, and historicity - masked profound disagreement about the proper uses of the district and about the plans for its future. To explore this disconnect, I trace it back to an interplay between divergent sets of images and experiences of the neighborhood, as mediated by its materiality, and then show how these divergences helped shape the planning process. Viewed through this lens, qualities like diversity and authenticity become not points of agreement, but windows for examining sources of contestation. They help us explain why neighborhood physical structures dismissed by the City as obsolete and disposable were regarded by others as useful and historic. In this way, my project points planning practice beyond the question of which places matter and toward questions of how and why they matter. This focus on subjective experience facilitates a deeper understanding of people's relation to places, making possible the formulation of more responsive and equitable plans. It also allows us to envision forms of conflict resolution based not on zero-sum adversarial trade-offs, which invariably favor the powerful, but on a negotiated reconceptualization of a place and of its future.

▼ “Closer to the Edge:
New York City and the Triumph of
Risk” explores the historical construction of “the culture of
risk.” The dissertation posits the culture of risk as an
alternative to neoliberal frameworks of American society in the
contemporary period. The work begins in 1973, with the
city already
unraveling from structural economic decline alongside racial and
class polarization, a graphic example of the failures of
mid-century “high-modernist” planning. It then moves to the city’s
1975 brush with bankruptcy, which became a starting point for
New
York’s elite to reimagine the city’s economic future. Financiers,
with the cooperation of political leaders and the city’s labor
movement, created an urban economy based on the most speculative
kinds of deregulated financial capitalism. The city’s leadership
deliberately risked social disintegration by using funds from
public health, safety, and welfare to attract and retain global
capital. The dissertation examines the historical impact of these
policies on the city’s role as a financial center, its real estate
market, and on the lives of the very poor. The
city that was
created by taking these risks radiated its influence outward to the
nation as a whole through capital markets, intellectual discourse,
cultural production, and
new activist movements that arose in the
midst of the AIDS epidemic. By 1992, the resulting belief in
business/government risk-taking as a social good or as a necessity
had become the dominant ethos of both
New York City’s politics and
of the United States as a whole. As recent events such as the 2008
financial crisis have demonstrated, the influence of the culture of
risk endures to the present day.

▼ Young people go to college not merely to equip themselves for competition in the workplace, but also to construct new identities and find a home in the world. This dissertation shows how, in the midst of wrenching social change, communities, too, use colleges in their struggle to reinvent and re-situate themselves in relation to other groups. As a case study of this symbolic process I focus on the City College of New York, the world's first tuition-free, publicly funded municipal college, erstwhile "Harvard of the Poor" and birthplace of affirmative action programs and "Open Admissions" in higher education. I examine five key moments between 1940 and 2000 when the college dominated the headlines and draw on journalistic accounts, memoirs, guidebooks, fiction, poetry, drama, songs, and interviews with former students and faculty to chart the institution's emergence as a cultural icon, a lightning rod, and the perennial focus of public controversy. In each instance a variety of actors from the Catholic Church to the New York Post mobilized popular perceptions in order to alternately shore up and erode support for City College and, in so doing, worked to reconfigure the larger New York public. The five episodes consist of the following: (1) In 1940 a state judge barred the philosopher Bertrand Russell from joining the faculty and a sweeping "investigation" followed that resulted in a purge of fifty allegedly Communist professors from the faculty. (2) Ten years later seven members of City College's national championship basketball team, all of them Jewish or black, were convicted of consorting with professional gamblers to fix games. (3) Then in 1969, in the midst of a mayoral primary, black and Puerto Rican students seeking greater access for members of the surrounding Harlem community seized control of City's South Campus and shut down the college for two tense weeks that were followed by a series of violent racial clashes. (4) Those events in turn ushered in the school's radical and hotly contested experiment with "Open Admissions" along with a decade of relentless media attacks, nostalgia for an imaginatively constructed golden age, and series of dramatic cuts to the college's budget and staff that occasioned the end of its century-old tradition of free tuition. (5) Finally, in 1991 one Afrocentric professor's outrageous remarks about Jews coupled with an accident at a student-sponsored fundraiser in the college gym that claimed nine young lives came – through the offices of the mass media – to stand for the anarchy and physical danger that seemed to be engulfing not only the institution but the city itself. Taken together these five moments, with their attendant tabloid scandals, ritual sacrifices, and manufactured crises, foreground the cultural dimension of City College's history and the construction – including the self-construction, even performance – of particular varieties of student and teacher, both past and present. Newspapers and their various publics were central to – indeed, constitutive of – the process…

▼ High stakes tests have become the centerpiece of
new educational reform movements within the United States. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2002 has mandated a renewed emphasis on testing. Prior to its enactment,
New York State had changed the graduation requirements for schools throughout the state, raising the standards in 1996 for a high school diploma by requiring all students to take and pass a minimum number of Regents exams. This project studies the effect of these
new laws and standards on teachers in
New York City and how they cope with pressures that are placed on them by students, parents, administrators, and other teachers. One concept this study builds upon is test score pollution, which is used in the education literature; however, it is not fully developed in the sociology of education literature. Test score pollution focuses on teachers and administrators rather than students and is used to describe factors that affect the validity of test scores. Some test score pollution strategies include: "teaching to the test," dismissing low-achieving students on test day, and teachers altering response sheets or their interpretation of a response while scoring. It is alleged that these strategies are all used in order to improve the passing percentage of schools on regents exams. In
New York high schools, teachers are the individuals in charge of grading their own students' high stakes exams. This conflict of interest leads to one common form of test score pollution called "scrubbing." Scrubbing exams involves changing the grade of an exam from failing to passing. In interviews with teachers, there have been several methods of scrubbing that have been uncovered. Teachers have mentioned that they have erased bubble sheets on regents exams, purposely reinterpreting rubrics while grading students' exams, and purposely lowered students' grades while grading the regents. A better definition of the term scrubbing along with gradations is elicited from teachers. Pressures from administrators, who currently receive incentive bonuses, to scrub are also discussed.

▼ In a dense city saturated with noise, vehicles and crowds, it is essential to include breathable pauses. In such settings, parks provide a suburban condition that contrasts the relentless moving environment. The existing ideas from two major urban conditions in New York City, the Highline and Times Square, are deconstructed, combined, and reconstructed into the site, preserving the essence of the existing culture while creating anew. Various characteristics of the two conditions; the intimate openness of the Highline park and the exposing narrow plaza and vertical halls of Times Square, are implemented to resolve a design proposal. The ingenuity of the Highline is used to assist in appeasing the harsh contact between high-rise vertical towers and the edge of a horizontal park. The narrow and compact conditions of Times Square are applied to efficiently utilize the limited space of the project site, a narrow Manhattan block. The project attempts to balance the public intimacy of the Highline, and the exposing social interactions of Times Square. The objective is to isolate the inhabitants from the charged sensation of the city, without losing the essence of the New York urban condition. ( en )

▼ The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate the ways in which the core-periphery relationships of English and Dutch colonial ventures in North America were impacted by local events in
New Amsterdam-
New York, a Dutch colony that was lost to the English following the Second Anglo-Dutch War in 1664. Increased peripheralization of
New Amsterdam-
New York negated centralizing efforts of the Dutch and effectively ended the potential for Dutch geopolitical power in North America. While the Atlantic World has traditionally been understood as a framework for understanding international phenomenon and global processes, this thesis suggests that it was impacted by multiple geopolitical scales simultaneously. Placing
New Amsterdam-
New York’s colonial history in a framework of evolving core-periphery relationships and highlighting the central role of local social, political, and spatial processes provides a foundation for understanding the outbreak of ethnic hostilities in the late 1680s. I argue that the increasing importance of the local is demonstrated by the attention given to social, political, and spatial ordinances that sought not to control “the English” or “the Dutch”, but to control the actions and actors of individual streets, wards, and districts.

▼ The six research papers and journal articles that form this submission all focus on the nature of and response to young people and young adults who have experienced relationship violence and non-partner sexual violence in New York City (NYC). These six empirical papers are based on three primary research studies in which I was the Principal Investigator spanning four years of research work: • A quantitative study of 1,312 young people in NYC high schools, • A survey of 65 survivors of sexual violence about their experiences with services (hospital, counselling, police and criminal justice) in NYC, and • A comprehensive survey of 39 emergency departments in NYC about acute care provision for sexual assault patients. These studies are innovative in that all three are ‘firsts’ in the field of violence prevention and response: ‘Partners and Peers’ was the first study of its kind to explore the prevalence of sexual and dating violence in NYC amongst high school students. This study found that 16.2% or more than 1 in 6 students surveyed reported experiencing sexual violence at some point in their lives. Of these youth, 10.1% reported experiencing non-partner sexual violence (sexual abuse or forced sex), and 14.1% reported experiencing sexual violence from a dating partner. The survey was available in both Spanish and English (both versions translated and back-translated). Passive parental consent and student assent were obtained with parental consent letters available in English, Spanish and Chinese. Three ethical review boards, including the NYC Department of Education, approved this study. ‘A Room of Our Own’ was the first study to explore from survivors’ own perspectives their satisfaction with the care and support they received post-assault in NYC with the majority of respondents having experienced a sexual assault under the age of 25 (study was approved by eight Ethics Review Boards), and ‘How Safe is NYC’ was the first study to comprehensively map protocols, procedures and services offered across Emergency Departments in NYC including how adolescent patients are treated. All three of these studies garnering significant media coverage which appeared in the New York Sun, The Washington Post, the New York Post, The New York Daily News, El Diario and on CBS news (TV) and WBAI radio. Three of the six submitted publications have already been ranked internally as part of the Moray House School of Education’s REF submission (my 4th REF submission was another journal article on a different area of child protection) and they have all been recognised as internationally excellent in terms of originality, significance and rigour. This body of work has had and continues to have significant implications for practice as highlighted in this thesis. The study of survivors’ perspectives and acute care responses in emergency departments led directly to a change in New York State Law for ambulance destination designation and a commitment from the NYC Mayor for Sexual Assault Forensic Services in all public NYC hospitals. The school-based…

D.M.A.
The Age of Innocence is an opera based on the 1920 novel by Edith Wharton. Set in New York high society of the 1870's, it tells the story of Newland Archer, a young lawyer, his fiancée May Welland, and her cousin, the Countess Ellen Olenska, who has returned to her native New York in an aura of scandal, having left her husband, the dissolute Polish Count Olenski, in Europe. Although Archer and Ellen fall in love, he nevertheless follows the expectations of his family and marries the lovely but conventional May. For her part, while she sees a life with Archer as an escape from her loneliness, Ellen cannot allow herself to betray her cousin, insisting that she and Archer can love each other only if they remain apart. This love triangle is unique because of the social pressures placed upon Archer: he is a product of New York society, which has taught him to believe in the factitious idea of female innocence, as personified by May. Though he questions this and other conventions of his society, he is unable to bring himself to abandon the safety of these social norms that govern every aspect of proper behavior in New York. It is Archer's love for Ellen that prompts him to challenge these standards, pointing out New York's hypocrisy in welcoming May's cousin back to America while at the same time treating her as a pariah for abandoning her husband in Europe. None of their objections to Ellen is explicitly stated, however, for this is a world which has a morbid fear of "the unpleasant" – that is, anything that would disturb the calm surface of society's politesse and social grace. It comes as no surprise, then, that Archer's desire for Ellen (especially after he marries May), becomes a potential social nightmare for his family and all of New York, as they ruthlessly plot to drive the two apart, and send Ellen back to Europe. The main challenge in creating an opera out of this story, in addition to streamlining a lengthy and complex plot, was to delineate both in the libretto and the music the realms of the said and unsaid – that is, what the characters say in public, and what they say to themselves or to others that represents their innermost feelings. In the libretto, this was achieved by drawing upon Wharton's dialogue and narration in the novel in order to create these private and public utterances, in the form of recitatives, arias, duets, or ensemble pieces. The language of the libretto has been fashioned to serve these different musical forms, with dialogue from the novel employed in moments of recitative; and freely-metered verse, with a modest use of rhyme, for the "numbers" of the opera. The music, meanwhile, employs a system of codes to define the realms of the said and unsaid – motives, sonorities and key relationships that bring into focus the interactions of the characters, especially Archer, Ellen and May as their drama plays out under the ever-watchful eyes of New York society. The music has also been rendered to bring out the stresses and meter of the text, and heighten the import…

▼ Sociology
This research will examine graduation rates from the 1999-2000 school year until the 2012-13 school year, which will shed light on the long-term impact of neoliberal policy on inequality. I begin with a discussion of the history of school reform in NYC, starting with the Brown v. BOE verdict and finishing at the current neoliberal reform era, to understand how various reform strategies have aimed to reduce segregation and inequality. I then use a dissimilarity index to examine changes in racial segregation by performance between 2000 and 2013, using high school graduation rate quartiles to measure performance. In the last empirical chapter, I use growth curve modeling to understand the factors that are associated with changes in graduation rates. I model the impact of several factors that measure the presence of neoliberal reform and inequality on graduation. These measures include: racial and socioeconomic composition, the impact of mandatory regents, being a small school and failing on NYC school accountability report. This research finds that policies aimed at desegregation have been unaggressive and poorly implemented, and this has resulted in persistent segregation. Neoliberal policies assume that by increasing individual choices and accountability, that all students will make the choices that are in their best interest, and inequality will be reduced. This indirect strategy proves to be ineffective. White students have experienced increased access and isolation amongst the best performing schools, while Black students have become increasingly segregated in the worst performing schools. Growth curve modeling shows a consistent increase in graduation rates over this time. This increase is lessened for schools that serve above average black, Hispanic, and free-lunch eligible students. These schools have the lowest graduation rate.

▼ My dissertation explores the relationship
between graphic design and art by investigating their intersection
at a pivotal time in their history: the long decade between the
1959 “creative revolution” in advertising and the release of the
Massimo Vignelli-designed
New York City subway map of 1972. During
the course of my examination, I reveal that, far from remaining
mutually exclusive, or from engaging in a one-way connection
through which high art drew on mass culture, as is often assumed,
art and graphic design regularly informed each other’s methods of
production. Although it is well known that
artists such as Andy Warhol appropriated advertising imagery, there
are also instances in which artists and designers employed street
signage to navigate through
city streets and artistic compositions,
or moments during which both designers and artists undertook to
follow unwitting pedestrians, that signal a deeper understanding of
the sympathies between design and art strategies than simple visual
borrowing. With these aspects in mind, my dissertation involves the
work of artists who have not often been discussed in terms of
design, such as Robert Rauschenberg, Vito Acconci, Yoko Ono, Gordon
Matta-Clark, and Hans Haacke, as well as designers such as Milton
Glaser and Peter Chermayeff who debated the efficacy of designed
objects in a
city of such overwhelming visual stimulation. My
research reveals a
city in crisis, but one that provided
opportunities for artists and designers to develop
new means of
improving and disrupting its ways of living. In surveying this time
and art and design’s mutual influence, I hope to pose
new questions
of designed objects as well as of the art world that developed
alongside them.

▼ In this study I consider the work of two major
American graffiti artists: Jenny Holzer (b. 1945) and Swoon (b.
1977). I focus on Holzer's early poster and sticker campaigns,
Truisms (1977-79), Inflammatory Essays (1979-82), and Survival
(1983-85), which she offset-printed and posted during the heyday of
New York City’s graffiti movement (1966-1989), and Swoon’s life
size woodblock printed portraiture posted on the streets since
2001. I argue that Holzer’s work merits consideration within the
context of graffiti literature, and that Swoon, inherited Holzer’s
legacy thus making her part of graffiti’s avant-garde movement. To
accomplish this, I expand upon the definition of what constitutes
graffiti, arguing that it is any kind of publicly posted
unsanctioned writing. I trace a historical lineage of poster
artists as graffiti artists, and provide a feminist reading of
Holzer and Swoon’s pre-street production process within the
male-dominated movement.

How do remittances and gender constitute each other in the transnational circuits that connect Cuenca in Ecuador and New York City in the United States?.

▼ This thesis examines the mutual constitution of gender and remittances throughout the transnational migration circuits between Cuenca, Ecuador and
New York City, the US. The thesis aims to explicate how gender determines remittances and to what extent remittances challenge gender roles and relations in the sending society. It is based upon multi-sited research carried out in Cuenca and
New York. I argue that both approaches are demonstrated (Hondagneu-Sotelo, 1992). The gender patterns proved to affect significantly several aspects of remittance process (Mahler & Pessar, 2006; Orozco et al., 2006): gendered labor access (Hondagneu- Sotelo, 2003), parenthood (Pribilsky, 2012), gendered consumption preferences (Guzmán et al., 2006), source, propensity (Abrego, 2009), and sending and receiving patterns, which are also determined by trust in the relationships. Transnational migration proved to foment the potential to challenge gender relations (Grasmuck & Pessar, 1991). On the one hand, migration forces individuals affected by the migration process out of traditional roles: it provides female migrants with greater work prospects and non-migrants with an opportunity to increase their autonomy and emancipation (Ghosh, 2009), and confronts migrants with a society that displays general differences in cultural representations including gender patterns. On the other hand, the potential of change (Lopez-Ekra, 2011) may be deadened due to the traditional power asymmetries in individual relationships resisting change, or upon arrival (De Haas, 2007) due to rigid homeland society.

Cities At War: Union Army Mobilization in the Urban

▼ During the four years of the American Civil War, the
twenty-three states that comprised the Union initiated one of the
most unprecedented social transformations in U.S. History,
mobilizing the Union Army. Strangely, scholars have yet to explore
Civil War mobilization in a comprehensive way. Mobilization was a
multi-tiered process whereby local communities organized,
officered, armed, equipped, and fed soldiers before sending them to
the front. It was a four-year progression that required the
simultaneous participation of legislative action, military
administration, benevolent voluntarism, and industrial productivity
to function properly. Perhaps more than any other area of the
North, cities most dramatically felt the affects of this transition
to war. Generally, scholars have given areas of the urban North low
marks. Statistics refute pessimistic conclusions; northern cities
appeared to provide a higher percentage than the North as a whole.
Out of a population of twenty million, the North sent two million,
or ten percent of its total population to war. Three of the largest
cities—New York City, Philadelphia, and Boston—numbering over
1,592,000 people altogether—alone sent 260,000 men to the seat of
war, or sixteen percent of their combined populations. Thus, urban
military history of the war offers a strange paradox: were
northeastern cities the most important wellsprings of the war
effort or were they thorns in the side of Union mobilization? This
dissertation explores this question by examining Union army
mobilization in four cities—New York City, Philadelphia, Boston,
and Baltimore—explaining how each city came to raise and equip
Union army regiments during all four years of the conflict. My
study combines a variety of historical approaches, including urban
history, military history, economic history, labor history, and
political history, explaining how these metropolises mobilized for
war in their own unique way. Contrary to the belief that cities
offered the North a decisive advantage, this dissertation
demonstrates how urban residents faced difficulties in extracting
resources from their communities. Indeed, it suggests that the
forces of urbanism and war ran counter to each other, placing
northeastern city residents at tremendous
disadvantage.

▼ In the early nineteenth-century, skyrocketing urban
populations necessitated the development of new systems to ensure
food supply. This dissertation considers the transformation of the
New York City food system between 1800 and 1860, during which
period the city’s population grew to over a million people. The
ways in which this transformation involved deep shifts in
individual’s relationships with nature are highlighted through the
theoretical lens of urban metabolism. Previous scholarship has
largely ignored this area, focusing almost exclusively on changes
in technology or economic practices. The urban-metabolic concept,
however, allows for an investigation of how all of these threads
were interwoven in the transformation. Particular case studies,
focusing on changes in the legal structure of markets, the
production of bread, and the supply of meat and fresh produce, are
introduced to illustrate this transformation. Finally, the ways in
which all of these changes created new practices and conceptions
with regard to nature is explored.

▼ The purpose of this thesis is to present a comprehensive history of the Fraunces Tavern Museum and its collection along with an official catalogue comprising approximately 5,000 artifacts. It documents the Museum’s own experience with the collections care remediation process so that other institutions may use this Museum’s success story as a model for their own collections care issues.The Fraunces Tavern Museum, located in New York City, is best known as the site where George Washington bade farewell to his officers at the end of the American Revolutionary War. The lineage group, the Sons of the Revolution in the State of New York (SRNY) purchased the Tavern in 1904 and opened it as a museum in 1907 where SRNY members could preserve their Patriot ancestors’ possessions. With the purchase and preservation of Fraunces Tavern, the collection has grown for over 100 years and artifact donors encompass not only SRNY members, but the general public.

▼ This dissertation will examine the rise and fall of the Polish immigrant enclave of Greenpoint, Brooklyn, over the past 30 years (1980 to 2010), focusing on the changing social relations of housing within the Polish immigrant community during this time. Greenpoint today stands at the cusp of disintegration as classic immigrant enclave, with property values and residential and commercial rent levels that prohibit new immigrants from settling, while forcing out many of the old immigrants who did so years ago. The political economy of immigrant housing in Greenpoint, I will argue, was both creator and destroyer of the Polish enclave - engine of its growth and barrier to its further expansion. A central argument of this dissertation is that the housing market is a social construct, embedded within and conditioned by social relations specific to a particular place and time. Though socially-embedded, however, the immigrant housing market is never fully divorced from the wider urban housing market; it is in fact structured by this impersonal market and its imperative to realize profit. There is an ongoing tension or dialectic between two forms of housing relations -one subordinated to the social utility of housing, another driven by the profit motive - that is manifest within any socio-spatial formation. In the pages that follow I will explore this dialectic as it drives the evolving social relations of housing within the Polish immigrant enclave of Greenpoint, where the political economy of immigrant housing has undergone significant and rapid change in the face of a real estate boom, the likes of which New York City - and the country as a whole - has perhaps never seen before.

▼ The
City of
New York is a stage that invites everyday people to become active, to play in it or to misbehave. The streets and its public transportation network are the stage, artificial light, special sound qualities in certain spaces and the presence of a potential audience the specific qualities of these urban stages among others. The audience is meant to be manipulated, to be intrigued into interaction. In the setting of Brooklyn Botanic Garden, a sequence of public spaces is created by experimentally folded traces of acts. The generated spaces are designed as stages with specific, enhanced qualities. Their architecture is a skin of an encountered act in NYC that was the inspiration for this space.
The architectural result of this experiment is a landscape of pavilions that invites to experience space with all senses.

▼ The Rapid Transit system in New York City, with its underground and elevated railroads, has clearly been a very important factor in the development of the New York City metropolis as we know it today. Not solely as a means of transportation through the vast amount of land that is covered by the city, but also as a means of development for the city’s spatial configurations, organizational patterns and even building typologies. New York’s developmental history is probably more closely interwoven with the development of its rapid transit system than any other city in the world. The subways and elevated’s enabled the northward expansion on the island of Manhattan, unified the five boroughs into one megalopolis, dispersed the population from the tip of Manhattan, sparked the development of the city’s first suburbs and eventually created the breeding ground for the high densities and skyscrapers, as we know them from today’s Manhattan.
In a relatively short period of about 100 years, New York City grew from a small harbor town, to the largest metropolis in the world at that time. The Rapid Transit system forms an intricate part of this growth process. The four periods distinguished in the course of this research, each mark a distinct stage in the development of the system, but also in the becoming of the Metropolis. The direction and scale of the introduced system each time determined the step forward that could be taken by urban development. Therefore it is safe to say, that without its Rapid Transit system, New York City would have never become the metropolis as we know it now.

▼ This dissertation offers the first systematic study of the photographs taken by Walker Evans in
New York City and its vicinity between 1927 and 1934, a formative period that preceded the full consecration of his work in the second half of the 1930s. About 200 urban photographs in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum and a significant body of negatives in the Metropolitan Museum's Walker Evans Archive indicate that Evans's early work was mostly devoted to the theme of the modern metropolis. Cross-referencing Evans's images with contemporary photographs, aerial views, architectural plans, insurance maps, drawings, and verbal descriptions, this study aims to identify the exact subjects, the places, and whenever possible the dates of this previously uncharted body of urban photographs. The resulting catalog of over 300 images suggests the contours of an unfinished project on
New York City that Evans developed in the years immediately preceding and following the Wall Street crash of 1929. On a different level, this dissertation addresses the question of Evans's visual education in the context of the "transatlantic modernism" of the 1920s and '30s. In particular, it shows that Evans, despite his early literary ambitions, was fully conversant with the work of visual artists, architects, and critics of the Machine Age. Long ignored and often discredited as mere experiments in the fashionable style of the
New Vision, his early photographs incorporated and developed the critique of American modernism offered by such books as Le Corbusier's Vers une architecture (1923) and Erich Mendelsohn's Amerika. Bilderbuch eines Architekten (1926). At the same time, his
New York project shared the quest for an American art widely debated in avant-garde magazines and was consonant with the work of many painters later known as Precisionist.

▼ Sketch is a fictional novella that explores themes of love, absence, sexual violence, and coincidence. It is a result of two years of extensive writing as a Michener fellow at the University of Miami, and is my first attempt at a longer work. Though a few of the character names are slightly fantastical, the story is firmly rooted in
New York City, and the characters themselves are realistic.

Amending the building code of the city of New York: exploring forces that influenced change.

▼ This study seeks to understand the forces that influenced changes (i.e., amendments) to the Building Code of
New York City over an approximately one hundred and ten year period spanning from 1898, the year of the city’s consolidation, through 2008, the year of the major code amendment following September 11, 2001. Although the emphasis is on this period, building codes specific to
New York City since 1625 are researched to cultivate a broader understanding of the changes to building codes throughout the city’s history. In particular, the focus is on the building issues that the amendments sought to change and the specific conditions or forces that prompted those changes. Qualitative and quantitative data analysis is performed, which demonstrates that 884 total amendments were passed between 1898 and 2008 as a result of technical, cultural, and political forces. Three complex factors are identified as being responsible for amending the building code:
new materials, methods, and technologies; cultural changes in use and occupancy; and fire disasters. This finding undermines the prevailing belief that building codes are amended primarily because of fire disasters.
Throughout the history of
New York City, changes in the building code usually numbered around six per year. However, this study documents that a significant spike occurred in the number of amendments promulgated in the early 1950s. In 1951 alone, the building code was amended 56 times. In addition to
new material sciences, cultural changes in
new uses and occupancies of buildings and
new architectural styles accounted for the largest increase in amendments during this period. Fire disasters accounted for a limited number of changes to the building code and were not nearly as influential on the code amendment process as some researchers have asserted.
This study demonstrates the complex, retroactive nature of the amendment process and how specific and responsive the building code is to the minutiae of changes in construction and occupant uses. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the retroactive amendment process, allowing for the potential to begin a proactive amendment process with the goal of increasing public health, safety, and welfare.

▼ In 1951, an investigation of gambling in college basketball by
New York district attorney, Frank Hogan, ultimately led to the arrest of more than 30 players from seven schools, including six players from the
City College of
New York (CCNY). Just a year earlier in 1950, CCNY became the first racially integrated basketball team to win the national championship; and the only one to win the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and National Invitational Tournament (NIT) championships in the same season. Unfortunately, their accomplishments were overshadowed by the gambling scandals.

Enframing Infrastructural Place: Manhattan's Waterfront, 1686-1921.

▼ In 1870, Manhattan’s waterfront was a mixed-use site of abattoirs, storage-yards and factories. These buildings lined the rotting wooden boards of dilapidated too-small piers built on privately-owned land. This close-in, messy waterfront was unambiguously part of the rest of the
city in terms of law, operation, and governance. Over the next 50 years, the waterfront would be trans-formed. By 1921, the waterfront was dominated by publicly-owned and built concrete and steel piers on parcels that were legally distinct from the rest of the propertied urban landscape. The world’s largest steamships tied up at exclusive berths governed by an institution that sought to ensure their frictionless circulation in and out of the
city. By 1921, Manhattan’s waterfront was the exclusive site of large-scale transportation circulation – an infrastructural place. In this re-search I ask how the mixed-use urban waterfront became infrastructural place: the exclusive site of transatlantic circulation. I examine how state and private sector actors negotiated, contested, and cooperated to enframe the waterfront as infrastructure – a space ruled according to the logic of circulation– that enabled global-scale flows through Manhattan. This involved on a process of enframing which relied on the separate legal categories of property leveraged to produce
new conceptual, institutional, and material boundaries separating the waterfront from the rest of the
city. These processes were articulated through power geometries to produce the waterfront as infrastructural place. This research demonstrates how an analysis of infrastructure as place allows us to examine it as an ongoing process of social production.
