George Washington Carver is known primarily for his life and work at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. This historical research provides insight prior to that time and into his journey from Missouri to several towns in Kansas, and then to Iowa. The intersection of race, education, and philanthropy combined to guide the culmination of his life's work--in concert with interest convergence.

Faculty and students at the University of Toronto were surveyed and interviewed to form a case study of serial team teaching, in which multiple instructors take turns teaching a segment of the same course in sequence. Student opinions ranged from slightly opposed to slightly in favour of team teaching overall. When asked about specific aspects of team teaching, students who liked it overall tended to like all aspects of it, and did not identify those disadvantages in student experience anticipated by the faculty. In general, students in upper years were less supportive of team teaching than were students in their first and second years.

Explores race, class, educational level, and parental perceptions as they affect parental participation in schools, analyzing data generated by a 1991 National Commission on Children survey. Discovered clear interactions and correlations among all variables and respondents' participation in various school activities. Suggests a prediction model for parent involvement and some strategies for addressing differential participation. (34 references) (MLH)

Although the scholarly world is attempting to establish this realm of study, no cultural studies program currently addresses this region's transformations of purpose and place adequately.
