Pulitzer and Parkman prize winner, remarkable teacher (54 dissertations, 53 theses), writer of 18 books and some 145 reviews, designer of a major television show, Dr. Goetzmann, in the best Turner tradition, brought to the study of the West imagination, sophistication, and scholarship. He created an American Studies department at Texas and helped convert the university into a true multi-racial institution. He taught and lectured in a number of European institutions and helped make the American West a field not merely of regional antiquarianism but of study of the human condition in a remarkable setting.
He is the author of many books, including Army Exploration in the American West 1803-63 (1959, 1991); Exploration and Empire: The Explorer and the Scientist in the Winning of the American West (1966); When the Eagle Screamed: The Romantic Horizon in American Diplomacy 1800-1865 (1966); The Mountain Man: Exploring the American West (1978); New Lands, New Men: America and the Second Great Age of Discovery (1986); The West of the Imagination (1986); The First Americans (1991); The Atlas of North American Exploration (1992); and Sam Chamberlin's Mexican War: The San Jacinto Paintings (1993). He has also been the editor of many books, including The American Hegelians (1973). His most recent work is entitled Beyond the Revolution: A History of American Thought from Paine to Pragmatism (2009).

Nuclear physicist Maurice Goldhaber was born in Austria in 1911. He earned his Ph.D. at Cambridge in 1936 and, after two years as a fellow at Magdalene College, he came to the United States as a member of the faculty of the University of Illinois. Dr. Goldhaber became a naturalized citizen in 1944, and in 1950 he joined the faculty of the Brookhaven National Laboratory, which he would go on to direct from 1961-73. Dr. Goldhaber's numerous experimental and theoretical contributions to nuclear physics include the discovery of deuteron splitting with gamma rays, evidence of the helicity of the neutrino, and of nuclear vibrations of protons against neutrons. The recipient of awards including the National Medal of Science (1985), the Wolf Prize (1991), the J. Robert Oppenheimer Memorial Prize (1992) and the Fermi Award (1998), Dr. Goldhaber was a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. Having held the position of Associated Universities, Inc. Distinguished Scientist from 1973-85, he became BSA Distinguished Scientist Emeritus there in 1985, but he continued to work at Brookhaven until 2008. He died May 11, 2011, at the age of 100 at his home in East Setauket, New York. | |

Claudia Goldin has made fundamental contributions to our understanding of labor market discrimination, gender roles in employment, the roles of education and health as major components of human capital and the role of human capital in economic growth. She has argued that it is difficult to rationalize occupational sex segregation and wage discrimination in terms of men’s taste for distance from women; instead she constructs a “pollution” model of discrimination in which a new female hire may reduce the prestige of a previously all male occupation. According to the model, occupations requiring productivity above the female median will tend to be segregated, while those below the median will tend to be integrated. In her analysis of the economic slowdown in the U.S. in the 1970s she finds that rising levels of inequality at the end of the 20th century was the root of the problem, not slow productivity growth or economic convergence between nations. In the U.S. educational system, she finds that the virtues characterizing it in the early 20th century may now be considered vices, in that the system that created social mobility now is beset by a lack of standards. In all her work she has illuminated fundamental questions of economic and social development. She won the Erwin Plein Nemmers Prize in Economics "for her groundbreaking insights into the history of the American economy, the evolution of gender roles and the interplay of technology, human capital and labor markets" in 2020. | |
