John Nash: A Personal Remembrance (Introduction to the John Forbes Nash Jr. Memorial Special Issue)

In January of 2011, three years after his 80th birthday, Games and Economic Behavior published a special issue to honor John Nash. In their introductory note, the editors, Avinash Dixit, Ehud Kalai and Stephen Morris wrote: “We are delighted to have the privilege of coordinating this expression of the whole profession\u27s admiration and appreciation of John Nash and his work, and look forward to a repeat in ten or even twenty years\u27 time.” This wish was sadly interrupted by tragedy. On their way back from the ceremony awarding John the Abel Prize in mathematics, John and his wife Alicia were killed in an automobile accident. The shock and loss to the world was profound. Instead of publishing another special issue in John\u27s honor, this issue is dedicated to his memory. Most of the papers in this special issue were submitted by scholars from around the world to honor John. In addition, we approached a small number of leading game theorists, mathematicians, economists and others and asked them to answer the question: What did John Nash mean to you? The comments that follow include tributes to his work as well as personal accounts and touching anecdotes. Even friends and colleagues who knew John well are likely to be surprised. Despite the severe personal hardships that John, Alicia and their family endured, the scope and breath of John\u27s contribution is overwhelming. John Nash will be greatly missed. His legacy is epic

Campus to counter: civil rights activism in Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina, 1960-1963

This work investigates civil rights activism in Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina, in the early 1960s, especially among students at Shaw University, Saint Augustine’s College (Saint Augustine’s University today), and North Carolina College at Durham (North Carolina Central University today). Their significance in challenging traditional practices in regard to race relations has been underrepresented in the historiography of the civil rights movement. Students from these three historically black schools played a crucial role in bringing about the end of segregation in public accommodations and the reduction of discriminatory hiring practices. While student activists often proceeded from campus to the lunch counters to participate in sit-in demonstrations, their actions also represented a counter to businesspersons and politicians who sought to preserve a segregationist view of Tar Heel hospitality. The research presented in this dissertation demonstrates the ways in which ideas of academic freedom gave additional ideological force to the civil rights movement and helped garner support from students and faculty from the “Research Triangle” schools comprised of North Carolina State College (North Carolina State University today), Duke University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Many students from both the “Protest Triangle” (my term for the activists at the three historically black schools) and “Research Triangle” schools viewed efforts by local and state politicians to thwart student participation in sit-ins and other forms of protest as a restriction of their academic freedom. Despite the rich historiography on the American civil rights movement as well as several scholarly works addressing academic freedom, there has been a lack of emphasis on the ways in which civil rights activism and academic freedom were interconnected in the early 1960s. This project is the result of extensive archival research and the analysis of primary and secondary sources. The author has conducted twenty-nine interviews of civil rights activists and members of the Raleigh and Durham communities, in addition to interviews of nationally recognized civil rights leaders such as Andrew Young and Wyatt Tee Walker. Interviewees from Raleigh and Durham were asked to complete surveys, which were utilized to provide a more systematic method for the author to form assertions and analyze patterns of experiences among the activists
