Seashore (1866-1949) is that he was deeply involved in the American eugenics movement. He was among the US academics to support eugenics long before German Nazis embraced it. A titan in a host of disciplines and a proponent of radical education reform, Seashore used his positional power to promote a constellation of education reforms consistent with central precepts of eugenics. Many of these reforms, including tracking, gifted and talented programs, and high-stakes standardized testing, were adopted and remain standard practice in the United States today. He promulgated the idea that musical talent is biologically inheritable, and he developed the first standardized tests of musical talent; these tests were used by early-twentieth-century researchers in their attempts to determine whether there are race differences in musical talent. Seashore's ideas and work profoundly shaped music education's research trajectory, as well as enduring "commonsense" beliefs about musical ability. An intersectional analysis, "Destined to Fail" focuses on the relationship between eugenics and Seashore's views on ability, race, and gender. Koza concludes that Seashore promoted eugenics and its companion, euthenics, because he was a true believer. She also discusses the longstanding silences surrounding Seashore's participation in eugenics. As a diagnosis and critique of the present, "Destined to Fail" identifies resemblances and connections between past and present that illustrate the continuing influence of eugenics--and the systems of reasoning that made early-twentieth-century eugenics imaginable and seem reasonable--on education discourse and practice today. It maps out discursive, citational, and funding connections between eugenicists of the early twentieth-century and contemporary White supremacists; this mapping leads to some of Donald Trump's supporters and appointees. 600 10 $a Seashore, Carl E. $q (Carl Emil), $d 1866-1949 $x Philosophy. 600 10 $a Trump, Donald, $d 1946- $x Friends and associates. 600 17 $a Seashore, Carl E. $q (Carl Emil), $d 1866-1949. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00248542 600 17 $a Trump, Donald, $d 1946- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00174117 650 0 $a Eugenics $x History. $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Musical ability $x Testing. 650 7 $a Friendship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935174 650 7 $a Musical ability $x Testing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030689 650 7 $a Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01060777 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 710 2 $a Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan), $e publisher. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Koza, Julia Eklund. $t "destined to fail" $d Ann Arbor : University of Michigan Press, 2021 $z 9780472129119 $w (DLC) 2021020090 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031939.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=04001E605F0811ECA70E6FDD2BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
