Edward Bouchet: The First African-american Doctorate (2001)
EN NWISBN: 9789812777737 bzw. 9812777733, in Englisch, neu.
Edward A Bouchet was the first African-American to receive the doctorate in any field of knowledge in the United States and that area was physics. He was granted the degree in 1876 from Yale University making him at that time one of the few persons to hold the physics doctorate from an American university. Bouchet played a significant role in the education of African-Americans during the last quarter of the 19th century through his teaching and mentoring activities at the Institute for Colored Youth in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was one among a small number of African-Americans who achieved advanced training and education within decades of the American civil war. These people provided direction, leadership, and role models for what eventually became the civil/human rights movements. The year 2001 marks the 125th celebration of his receiving the doctorate degree. This book gives a summary of his life and career.Contents: Early African American Presence in New Haven and Yale University (C L Patton)Edward A Bouchet — The Years at Hopkins Grammar School: 1868-1870 (T Rodd, Jr.)Edward Alexander Bouchet — The Master Teacher and Educator (H K Bechtel)In Search of Edward Bouchet (J A Wilkinson)African Americans Enter Science (K R Manning)Appendices:Letter from a Former Student of Bouchet (L M Allen)Willie Hobbs Moore: First African American Woman Doctorate in Physics (R E Mickens)Elmer Samuel Imes: Scientist, Inventor, Teacher, Scholar (R E Mickens)The Genesis of the National Society of Black Physicists (R E Mickens)The Bouchet InstituteSelected Bibliography of Materials on African American ScientistsReadership: General.Key Features:This is the first book-length study of television documentaries about China in a European countryThe book uses an innovative analytical method based on Vladimir Propp's narrative functions to decode televisual images of another countryIt focuses both on China images portrayed in the media and how those images are constructed.
