Having a conversation with
retired UO political science
professor emeritus Jim Klonoski
is like taking a walk through fifty
years of Democratic Party history.
Klonoski’s stories
are peppered
with nameslike Humphrey,
Kennedy, and
Mondale. He
casually refers
to conversations
with Ron Wyden
and numbers Ted
Kulongoski among
his friends. But
although Klonoski
has had his finger
on the pulse of U.S.
politics for a very
long time indeed,he talks about his
extraordinary life
with a modesty, ease,
and humor that also
made him one of the most popular
professors in the department’s
history.
“As a person, I aspired to do two
things,” he says with a wry smile.
“To teach political science and
become a political party chairman.
I achieved both; my life is a
success.”
Klonoski earned his glowingreputation with students in
part through a Supreme Court
simulation course he taught that
devoted the last six weeks of each
term to hearing actual cases.
“The Duck Store gave me old
graduation robes for the judges to
wear,” he remembers. “We studied
current cases. In some cases, we
handed down judgments before
the court did! I’d break them into
groups of thirteen or fourteen.
There were two attorneys for each
A visit with James Klonoskiside and nine justices. They’d take off
for the law school for two weeks and
read everything they could find about
these justices and this case.”
Klonoski and his students would
then conduct formal
court proceedings,
hearing andarguing each case
and debating the
final opinions.
Demand for the
course far exceeded
the capacity, and
Klonoski actually
came out of
retirement to teach
it again from 1999 to
2002.
“I could be
somewhere in
Oregon and someguy’ll come up to
me and say, ‘Hey,
remember me? I was
Justice Brennan in
1983!’” Klonoski
laughs. “I also taught introductory
courses; I taught American
Government for
forty years. That’s
where I met most
students, and
that was their
introduction to the
department.”When asked
about his accessible
teaching style,
Klonoski claims
no special tricks
or talents, just
a dedication to
sharing his vision of
politics.
“I put everything
I had into forty years of teaching,”
he explains. “I felt completely
comfortable as a teacher because
I was a naïve believer in
democracy and the democratic
process, and I’d lay it on the
line. Rather than take a cynica
approach, I’d tell students, ‘It’s
quite an accomplishment, a
democratic way of life!’ And it

with a keen eye for issues, tren
and personalities, but takes a
more subdued role than he has

2 Political Science • Fall 2008
This fall, Daniel Tichenor joins
the University of Oregon as a
senior faculty fellow at the Wayne
Morse Center for Law and Politics
and as the Philip H.
Knight Professor of
Social Science in the
Department of Political
Science. Specializing
in immigration issues,
public policy, the U.S.
presidency, social
movements, and U.S.
political history, Tichenor brings a rich academic
background as well as
extensive institutional
research and experience
to his dual appointments.
The department is excited
to welcome Dan and his family to
Oregon.
PS: Describe your role with the
Wayne Morse Center. Why is it a
good fit for you and the type of work
you do?
DT: I’ve always hung my hat both
in political science departments and
in centers that allow for linkages to be
made between the study and practice of
American politics. That’s
why our department and
the Wayne Morse Center
are great homes for me.
It’s not surprising that
our faculty and students
have been prominent in
the work of the Morse
Center for years, since
many of us think carefullyabout the applied policy
and political significance
of our theoretical and
empirical scholarship. My
own research—whether
focusing on immigration, public
policy, advocacy groups, or governing
institutions—often has problem-driven
implications that are useful to share
in both academic and broader public
settings.
PS: What are some key elements of
the “Politics and Policy” program?
DT: As a new senior fellow at the
Morse Center, I will be launching a
program on democratic politics and
policy that is designed to bring together
and provide support for faculty members
and graduate students across several
disciplines whose scholarship speaks
to critical issues in American politics,
public policy, and current affairs. As one
element of the program, I have organized
a regular colloquia series to discuss the
work-in-progress of visiting scholars and
our own interdisciplinary faculty andgraduate students. The lineup this fall
features papers by Stephen Skowronek
(Yale) on theories of the unitary
executive, Lani Guinier (Harvard) and
Gilbert Torres (Texas at Austin) on the
“demosprudence” of law and social
movements, and our own Priscilla
Yamin on marriage and the politics of
welfare. I’ll also be hosting some special
conferences this fall, such as one on
Dan HoSang’s exciting book manuscript,
Q&A with Daniel Tichenor
these kids here,” he says, gesturing
toward his son, the youngest of five
brothers, and a high school junior.
“I didn’t ask to be eighty-three, but I
like being eighty-three. I’m glad I’m
surviving because I do enjoy politics,
and my boys are all into politics.”
Klonoski’s oldest son, Jake, was
recently featured in The Oregonian
for his attendance at the Democratic
National Convention as a representative
of Democrats Abroad (“He’ll probably
end up in politics . . . but his father in
no way pushed him into it!”).
“All I can do is agree with everyone
else,” he says, when asked about his
party’s candidate. “Barack Obama is
a phenomenon. He’s unique. The fact
is, we finally nominated a black man
for president, but in my opinion he’s
got to be eight points ahead going
into election day. Maybe not; maybe
we’re over it all. I’m not against the
American people; it’s a great country.
We’re making progress, but given my
own life and my own experience, I
have to be convinced.”
As Klonoski looks back on a
life fully engaged with election
cycles and power struggles, coups
and upsets, scandals and shining
moments in leadership, he feels
grateful that the UO was his
academic home through it all.
“Good department, good people,
good students,” he reflects. “I was
very happy at Oregon.”
Klonoski continued from page 1

We have been working hard to raise
the national profile of the department.
Integral to those efforts has been an
attempt to strengthen our offerings inAmerican politics, perhaps the core
of our discipline. Last year marked an
important milestone in that regard, as we
hired Daniel Tichenor away from Rutgers
University
. We also welcome back Deborah
Baumgold and Leonard Feldman,
our two political theorists, from their
sabbatical years spent at Cambridge
University in England and the Institute
for Advanced Study in Princeton, New
Jersey, respectively.
As part of our successful speaker
series, we have organized a series
of three talks in October on the U.S.
elections titled Critical Perspectives on
Election 2008. The coming elections
also make our profile of Jim Klonoski in
this issue of the newsletter particularly
appropriate. Although he retired
some years ago, I know many of you
will remember him as a teacher with a
passion for U.S. politics and for teaching
students about it.I would like to end by thanking those
of you who have donated money to the
department. Your donations contribute
in important ways to the intellectual life
of the department. Your help is greatly
appreciated!

Political Science • Fall 2008 3
Before attending graduate school at
the University of Southern California
and writing an award-winning disser-
tation, assistant professor and Wayne
Morse Center resident scholar Daniel
HoSang spent ten years work-
ing as a community organizer inCalifornia. From his position as an
activist on the front lines, HoSang
could see a marked shift in the
political tide, as ballot initiatives
related to immigration, affirmative
action, and bilingual education
met the same frustrating fate.
“In all those cases the orga-
nization I was working for lost,”
he remembers. “We were beaten
worse each time.”
The political questions raised
by his experience with voting
trends stayed with HoSang as he
began his doctoral studies.
“What I really wanted to do
was understand how political
issues like ballot initiatives could
be interpreted through a cultural studies
framework,” he explains. “They have
symbolic meaning for people beyond the
political outcomes.”
Now occupying a joint appointment
in the political science department and
ethnic studies program, HoSang uses
his intimate knowledge of California’s
race-politics history as a basis for compari-
son with measures currently on the table
for Oregon voters. Issues such as mandatory
minimum sentencing and the restrictions on
how English-language learners can be taught
in school are, HoSang says,
subject to the concept of a“colorblind consensus.”
“Colorblind consensus
is used to describe the
agreement between liber-
als and conservatives that
it is no longer necessary
to talk about race and that
it is in everyone’s interest
to move beyond matters
of racial equality. So, on
the one hand race impacts
where you go to school and
who gets health insurance,
but on the other there is
this general agreement that
California, for example, is
a state that is beyond race.”
The 2008–9 academic
calendar holds several highlights for Ho-
Sang. He will publish his book, Racial
Propositions: Genteel Apartheid in Postwar
California, a project based on his doctoral
dissertation. In addition, HoSang’s scholarly
and organizational efforts will bring seminal
authors Michael Omi and Howard Winant to
the UO campus for a symposium honoring
the twenty-fifth anniversary of their
now-classic title, Racial Formation
in the United States. Scholars in the
fields of law, anthropology, sociol-
ogy, and political science, among
others, will gather to present papers
inspired by elements of Omi andWinant’s work, its implications over
the last quarter-century, and its im-
pact on future scholarship on race
and ethnicity. The conference will
lead to the publication of an edited
volume titled Racial Formation in
the Twenty-first Century.
Teaching is central to HoSang’s
enjoyment of academic life; this
year he will offer courses on race,
gender, and public policy, racial
politics and the law, theories of
race, and Asian American studies.
He’s also open to advising.
“I really enjoy working with grad-
uate students at all stages of their
projects,” he comments. “I hope to
do more of that.”
Although relatively new to Eu-
gene, HoSang finds life in Oregon to
be a good fit for him.
“I love it,” he says, definitively.
“I am thrilled to be in Eugene. The
students, the colleagues, all exceed-
ed every hope I had.”

legal practitioners and scholars on
adjudication of cases at Guantanamo Bay.
PS: Your forthcoming book focuses
on democracy in times of crisis. Can
you comment on what “puzzle” you
encountered that led you to write this book?
DT: My theoretical interest stems from
a long-standing interest in the tensions between executive power and liberal
democracy. I began this study of the
prerogative presidency with two major
empirical concerns. First, I wanted to
systematically examine whether and
when Congress, the courts, subnational
officials, the media, advocacy groups, and
ordinary citizens advanced or exercised
some check on the emergency powers
of chief executives. Second, I wanted to
analyze how prerogative presidents like
Lincoln, Wilson, and FDR converged or
differed in the exercise of these powers, and
how they viewed the operation of liberal,
constitutional, and democratic norms
in wartime. Over the course of the
research, I was surprised by the degree
of variation across these prerogative
presidencies and began to explore
the structural, philosophical, and
individual sources of these differences.
PS: Do you have any advice for
graduate students pursuing careers in
the field of political science?DT: I remember as a grad student
going to the offices of my advisers
with this question, and I received
exceptionally thoughtful but wildly
conflicting advice. Beware grayhairs
(like me) offering iron laws about
the job market! My solution was to
organize an occasional brown-bag
lunch gathering where grad students
could talk to a shifting pair of faculty
members about professional issues
great and small, and I’d recommend
something similar if you aren’t already
doing this. But I don’t want to punton the question, so let me add to the
conversation by passing along a
few suggestions that one of my
favorite mentors, Susan Okin,
offered: 1) Write original scholarly
papers when you can for graduate
seminars so you have material to
present at professional conferences,
to try to publish, and to mull over
for dissertations; 2) go to talks byinvited external scholars and job
candidates, since you get to meet
scholars beyond the department
and because you gain some useful
substantive or professional insights
even from bad talks; 3) make sure
you love your dissertation question
and research because you will have
to be passionate about it for a long
time; and 4) organize thesis reading
groups with colleagues so you have
writing deadlines and get feedback.

Steven Rothman al-
ways knew graduate school
was in his future, but anadministrative deadline ulti-
mately prompted him to make
the move that landed him at
Oregon.
“I went to grad school
[when I did] because my GREs
were running out and I didn’t
want to take them again,”
Rothman confesses with a
smile. But while test avoid-
ance may have spurred him
on, Rothman’s record reveals
a scholar well matched with
the hard work and intellectual
rigors of academia. Now a
sixth-year doctoral candidate,
Rothman recently published
his first peer-reviewed ar-
ticles, has been active in grant
writing and conference par-
ticipation, and won numerous
awards, including the Charles
A. Reed Graduate Fellowship
Award from the UO’s College
of Arts and Sciences.
Rothman chose the Uni-
4 Political Science • Fall 2008
versity of Oregon based on a
combination of faculty members
he wanted to work with and a
location he thought would suit
him. Encouraged
by Assistant Profes-
sor Jane Cramer,
he attended the
annual Consortium
for Qualitative
Research Methods
(CQRM) in Arizona,
an experience that
changed the course
of his academic
focus.
“It blew me away,” he remem-
bers. “The professors were bril-
liant, and the stuff they were do-
ing was amazing. You really saw
the quantitative people learning
from the qualitative people. In
quantitative, you get the data and
manipulate it to your research
question, but you just go out and
find the numbers. You read these
journals; the articles are super
complex because the data is so
hard to work with. At CQRM we
learned about concept develop-
ment, generating the data, and how
to make that data from what’s reallygoing on in the world.”
Rothman has worked
extensively with Profes-
sor Ronald Mitchell,
assisting him on a Na-
tional Science Founda-
tion project related to
environmental treaties.
“We measure whether
the treaties have com-
pliance mechanisms,”
he explains. “It’s super
hard going from text to
numbers; in psychologythey do it a lot. I wrote a paper on
measurement theory and reliability.
You can make better data by paying
attention to reliability.”
In his paper, Rothman evaluated
the work of three scholars, all of
whom were compiling data on trea-
ties. He looked at their codebooks,
reflected on ideal methods for gen-
erating reliable data, and observed
where each scholar either adhered
to or strayed from the best practic-
es. It was accepted and published
Courtney Smith is not
afraid to talk about the human
body. In fact, she spent
seven months traveling
in Senegal discussing
female genital cut-
ting (FGC) and breastimplantation with
everyone from NGO
administrators to vil-
lage chiefs to impover-
ished workers.
“I got this reputa-
tion as the lady who
had the breast implant
pictures,” remembers
Smith, who recorded interview
subjects’ reactions to Western
plastic surgery as part of her
fieldwork. “I was kind of like
the traveling circus. I think theywere more likely to open up to
me and trust me to talk about
cutting because I was also asking
them about implants. But what
they really wanted to talk about
was irrigation or getting a well.
The cutting thing was kind of no
big deal.”
Smith has also interviewed
dozens of women in the United
States about both FGC and breast
implantation as a
method of explor-
ing the “social
mechanisms that
embed cultural and
physical norms.”
Her dissertation,
titled “The Politics
of the Marked Body:
An Examination
of Female Genital
Cutting and Breast
Implantation,” has
taken her to numerous U.S. cit-
ies, to a conference in Finland,
and first brought Smith to Sen-
egal in 2005.
“I wanted to go somewhere
in West Africa because I speak
French. Senegal is fairly stable
and there is an NGO I connected
with and worked with that ad-
dresses informal education of
women and abandonment of
FGC.”
Smith lived with a Senegalese
family for most of her time in West
Africa and conducted her research
using “snowball” methodology,
where one subject leads to another
and eventually a sample is built
through networking.
“For human-subjects clearance, I
had to have my questions translat-
ed and approved, so I had thought
about it a lot. But the first inter-
view, I had no idea how to actually
proceed.” Friends taught her the
proper channel through which to
approach potential subjects with-
out violating cultural norms; once
she started, she found that many
of the women she spoke to, both in
Senegal and in the United States,
appreciated the opportunity to tell
their stories.
“They liked talking about their
bodies instead of being told things
about their bodies,” she observed.
“They got to say it for themselves,
the way they wanted to.”
This fall, Smith is offering the
department's first course in poli-
tics of sex and the body.
“I look at symbolic or cultural
