Political History as Women's History: Toward a More Inclusive Curriculum.
Theory & Research in Social Education, 2002Co-Authors: Christine WoyshnerAbstract:Abstract The secondary school History curriculum, with its emphasis on Political History, tends to relegate women to the margins or to interpret their accomplishments according to a patriarchal framework. The author argues that by adapting theoretical developments in the field of women's History, women can be seen as Political agents in History, thereby bringing about a more inclusive History in the schools that meets women on their own terms. Using the phase model designed by historians of women and educational researchers, the author shows how existing curriculum and educational research favors Political History that either excludes women or overemphasizes the importance of the suffrage movement. Then, using the example of women's clubs and associations prior to the Nineteenth Amendment, she demonstrates how women's Political activism influenced public education. Viewing women as Political beings who were not merely limited to a private sphere, she argues, will advance the agenda of women's History in t...

the collision of tax and welfare politics the Political History of the earned income tax credit 1969 1999
National Tax Journal, 2007Co-Authors: Dennis J VentryAbstract:Updated March 25, 2001 A revised version of this paper appears as "The Collision of Tax and Welfare Politics: The Political History of the Earned Income Tax Credit, 1969-1999." National Tax Journal 53(4) (part 2): 983-1026. For more information see www.ntanet.org. This paper uses the Political History and pre-History of the EITC to describe how the politics of welfare reform influence tax policies that function as social policy. It suggests that the economic tradeoffs inherent in the formulation of tax-transfer programs are also Political tradeoffs. It examines policy choices between costs and labor supply incentives, as well as those between ease of participation and compliance rates. The paper concludes that although economic analysis influenced the creation and development of the EITC, Political factors, not economics, animated the History of the program.

Revisioning U.S. Political History.
The American Historical Review, 1995Co-Authors: Mark H. LeffAbstract:IT IS THE LOT OF ACADEMICS to feel unappreciated. But some academics are more unappreciated than others, or so many Political historians will tell you. By the 1970s, something had gone terribly wrong. Jobs, grants, and prestigious publications increasingly went to "social science types," especially social historians who disdained Political History as elitist, shallow, altogether passe, and irrelevant to the drama of everyday lives. "The old 'presidential synthesis,'" Eric Foner declared, "is dead (and not lamented)."' The "Political History" of the United States, as Foner of course fully recognized, has always involved more than a study of presidential administrations. In some hands, in fact, it can extend to any power relationship-from the family to the shop floor to the shopping mall-or to any conflict over "public space." But such sprawling definitions of Political History have little to do with the actual work of people who call themselves Political historians. So, for the purposes of this article, I propose a working definition designed less for rigor than to reflect common practice: Political History deals with the development and impact of governmental institutions, along with the proximate influences on their actions. Even by this delimited definition, Political History has remained the major concern of the American Historical Review for most of its first hundred years. In the context of that History, the very appearance of this article might be taken as another indication of Political History's decline. Review articles, after all, are customarily devoted to confined chronological periods, to particular themes, or to so-called subfields such as American medical, intellectual, legal, or labor Historynot to a field that many had once considered synonymous with U.S. History itself.2 Yet decline is not the subject of this article; if the truth be told, my vantage point is somewhat Whiggish. I see this one hundredth anniversary of the AHR as a propitious time to consider the development of Political History. Two paths beckon. On the surface, both might offer Political historians reason for optimism. But one path toward enhanced influence, I would argue, has real promise, while
