thread_title:  Question about the last publication 

message: I had Engelmann as a professor when I was an undegrad at Northern Illinois University (NIU) in 1978.  When I took him as a not-too-serious-student sophomore, most of what he said went over my head and other students as well. His extensive historical references were beyond the knowledge base of most of us.  I still got an A in his class because he graded on a curve. I remember his line, "The highest F is an A."  I'd guess I averaged about 60% on his killer multiple-choice-question exams.  Yet, a lot of his teaching stuck with me and made more sense as I went on in my studies.  It was interesting to read this Wikipedia article, which really captured his essence.  I didn't  know, however, that he was a civil rights activist.  He always stuck me as so into his theorizing that any applied, real world activity would bias his objectivity. His quiet activism in retrospect seems consistent with his humble brilliance. He used two books that looked to be self-published to teach what I recollect he called "dynamic systemic symbolic interactionism."  The were pretty simple in layout, but not content, and were published by some obscure company. They looked almost like somebody's bound dissertation.  One was a text and the other a workbook of sorts.  He called them the "yellow menace" and the "red terror."   It was in his class that I started to really learn to think critically, logically, and methodologically -- even if I wasn't yet intellectually prepared for everything he was dishing out.  Engelmann had a big influence on me, although it took me awhile to realize it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.75.44.80 (talk) 12:41, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I am quit sure Hugo O. Engelmann is an Americans of Jewish descent, because he is named in Austrian Social Scientists in Exile 1933-1945, which I presume were most Jewish. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 11:33, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I just noticed the whole :Category:Americans of Jewish descent is being deleted, see here. So I guess that is the end of it. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 23:29, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

text: Interesting, and complicated indeed. The :Category:Americans of Jewish descent is allready removed because that category itself is deleted. If you want to remove the :Category:Austrian-American Jews as well, it's fine with me. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 22:28, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

text: Marcel, Austrians who fled included union activists, Socialists and Communists, Jehovah's Witnesses, gays, people of Romani background, Esperantists, and others: not just Jews. --Orange Mike | Talk 01:23, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
