Contents of the 2nd Addition to the Jean Moule Papers
MSS Jean Moule Papers, 1984-2011
Accession Number: 2012:038
This addition is made up of employment records, photographs, student assignments, and VHS videotape. Focused on the past practice in some Oregon towns of excluding nonwhite Americans from settlement through various “sundown” activities, the student assignments were generated for three of Moule’s courses: TCE 219/519 (Multicultural Issues in Education), TCE 408H (Sundown Towns in Oregon), and TCE 522 (Racial and Cultural Harmony). In addition to essays summarizing research findings, the student work includes photocopies of archival research, reflective self-assessment statements of what was learned in the course, and demographic data compiled about the racial makeup of the various Oregon municipalities examined.
The materials about Moule’s employment mostly pertain to the promotion and tenure process and sabbatical research plan. The six photographs depict Moule with various members of family and students visiting the Toledo History Museum to do historical research. Produced by KBVR-TV, the videotape documents a 1996 student boycott and march at OSU organized by the OSU Black Student Union in response to incidents of racial harassment on campus.
