This is my October 21, 1007 column for The Examiner newspaper. Being a teacher is as schizophrenic as being a student. There’s class, and there’s life, and “never the twain shall meet.” Students pretend to focus on schoolwork between the hours of 7:20 a.m. and 2:05 p.m., but who are they kidding? Certainly not their teachers, who remember what it was like to be constrained emotionally and intellectually by schoolroom rules. As a teacher, I expect of myself more focus and less distraction, yet sometimes life insinuates itself into my lessons. While my students have been distracted by homecoming, I have been thinking about a distinguished George Mason University colleague who recently died of cancer at the age of 57. Hundreds of Mason students and teachers are mourning his untimely death, but my high school students know nothing of Roy Rosenzweig’s digital histories or of his many contributions to GMU and his Center for History and New Media, and so I keep my sense of loss private. While talking about literature in the classroom, I have been composing in my mind an email to his wife, whom I have known for over 30 years. How can I show her compassion when I have not suffered the loss of a husband? What comfort can I offer when I don’t really understand the devastating effect of that loss? Oddly, I found the answer to that question grading papers. School and life merged the moment I read my classes’ essays on “Their Eyes Were Watching God,” which focused on the heroine, Janie’s, response to Teacake’s untimely death. What comfort did Janie find for the loss of her companion and the love of her life? Student after student wrote that to Janie, Teacake still “lived” since his effect on her remained. She mentally projects her memories—“pictures of love and light”—against the wall of her home. She gathers up those memories and lifelong dreams and calls in her soul “to come and see.” Teacake “could never be dead until she herself finished feeling and thinking.” Zora Neale Hurston’s words are Janie’s comfort, and were precisely the words I needed for Roy’s wife, Deborah. Roy’s books, teachings, and digital texts remain, and the memories of those who knew him are the “pictures of love and light.” What also remain are the ways Roy changed others. Like Teacake, Roy treated people respectfully and graciously. His friends and colleagues have created a website (http://thanksroy.org) that reflects myriad instances when his personality and intellectual strengths made others wiser and stronger--“pictures” preserved. Of course no website, no matter how moving or comprehensive, can begin to compensate for the loss of a husband or friend, a death that came decades too soon. But reading my students’ commentaries helped me see that books are often relevant to life outside the classroom, and that Hurston’s words have a function beyond my English curriculum. Perhaps at a distant point in the future, some of my students will remember that a person’s “love and light” cannot die as long as they themselves have “feeling and thinking.” At that moment, they might realize that sometimes what we learn in the classroom can teach us about life. Sometimes “the twain” does meet. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I wasn’t one of Roy’s closest friends, but I feel lucky to have known him for a long time. We met when I joined the Radical History Review editorial collective in late 1990, and worked together on that for many years. I can’t be surprised that so many others have used the word “generous” about Roy. Usually it means a nice person, someone who gives you some time and tips. Roy was the real thing: without any pretence or show, he helped other scholars, including me, in substantial ways. Over and over, more times than I count, his advice and assistance was crucial, on everything from big to small. He left me with an example of what it means to understand history as a collegial rather than competitive initiative. Roy’s generosity was tied up with his politics, as a radical historian, and a central figure in establishing the practice of radical history in the 1970s and 1980s at RHR, the American Social History Project and CHNM. Yet here, as in everything else he did—and he did so much, as a scholar-activist—he was exceptionally modest. Not self-consciously humble, the way some are on the left: he could tell some very funny stories about the old days of MARHO, and was quietly helpful in explaining to those of us younger to the enterprise what had actually taken place, minus any mythography. The great radical historians of the past forty years, among whom Roy numbered, are people who took seriously the idea of opening up how history works to everyone—undergraduates, K-12 students and teachers, and the politically-engaged public, as well as our disciplinary peers and graduate students. His contributions are monumental in that respect, from Who Built America?, to “History Matters,” to charting the path to a democratized digital history, let alone his own books, which will be read and taught for a very long time. And then there is a whole other side: how, as one half of “R.J. Lambrose,” he showed up the absurd misappropriations of history by bad scholars and reactionaries of every stripe, helping to make sure that no one would ever mistake the RHR for just another journal. There were many times when I read that section of the journal first, laughing and declaiming it aloud to whomever was in the vicinity. To be judiciously, bitingly funny and radical too—a rare gift in our country, let alone our profession. That’s what Roy was, a rare gift.

As a neighbor of Roy’s as well as a friend and colleague, I had many occasions to carpool with him over the last fifteen years. I came to understand that it was Roy’s gregarious nature as much as any environmental consciousness that led him to avoid riding alone. A commute with Roy always meant the better part of a conversation-filled hour covering a long menu of topics du jour. He’d slide in the door in a diffident way, and then he was off and running. Sometimes the issues were local--the in’s and out’s of campus politics or his most recent battles with the forces of bureaucracy. More often they reached beyond, into teaching, research, the profession. Riding with Roy meant tapping into a vast network of information and institutional savvy. It was like being part of a rolling salon. When Roy was behind the wheel, I can’t say we got there fast, and there was at times an absent-minded professor quality to his driving: ideas were always more interesting to him than traffic conditions. But the trip was never dull, and we did get there safely and usually on time. And the conversation was always stamped by Roy’s trademark virtues: the wide scope of his intellectual inquisitiveness, his ability to cut through the haze of circumstance to fundamental issues of power and responsibility, and his wry sense of humor in the face of institutional and other frustrations. Thanks, Roy, for reminding me so often that life is about the journey, not the destination.

Like so many, I have tales to tell about Roy's generosity and intellect and unflagging, mind-boggling work ethic. I first met Roy at the beginning of my second year in graduate school; during my first year, two other students (Elena Razlogova and John Spencer) and I had developed rudimentary history cd-roms. Elena had gone on to study with Roy at GMU (and become CHNM's first employee), and as a result, John and I had been invited down to present our cd-roms at a brown bag lunch event at GMU's history department. Elena met us at the train station, and as we exited into the Washington sunlight, she led us toward a car driven by a slightly rumpled, distracted looking guy in a red button down shirt and black jeans. As the car pulled away from the curb, John and I realized that this was Roy Rosenzweig. *The* Roy Rosenzweig, respected scholar, one of the only people doing the kind of digital history to which we aspired. And he was picking up two unknown graduate students at the train station. It was an entirely appropriate way to begin; he exhibited particular generosity to those low on the academic food chain. I came to know Roy in more venues after that first day; through the Radical History Review, where I served as Managing Editor for two years, and through the American Social History Project, where I had the enormous privilege of working with him on a myriad of projects. While in no way officially connected with my doctoral education, Roy became a true mentor, introducing me to people I should know, and the first person I turned to for career advice. There is so much that I will remember about Roy: his keen editorial eye (the quickest way to improve every grant proposal I ever wrote for ASHP was to run a draft past Roy); his ability to move projects forward; his deep reservoir of odd historical facts, handy for historical timelines and puzzles; the certainty that an email message to him would be returned within a matter of hours; his endearingly awkward half hugs of greeting. I'm still only barely able to acknowledge that he isn't going to be around any more, that there won't be some new project or meeting or meal at a conference or email message passing along information about a project or person I should know about. I hope that Roy had some idea of how very many people admired and loved and valued him. I guess what we do now is carry on in his spirit, the only alternative we have to carrying on in his presence.

What made him refreshing in the world of academia was his unassuming and helpful manner while being such a recognized figure. It is a privilege to have known him albeit briefly and thankfully his work will live on through CHNM and all his colleagues there.

Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre text. Text Any textual data included in the document. I met Roy perhaps ten times. At conferences in the booth. In the trailer at CHNM. At lunches where we’d discuss potential collaborations and the future of electronic media. We’d cluster round screens showing each other what we’re up to. I’d chat with him at the DC Area Tech & Humanities Forum. Ordinarily I’m not sure such occasional contact would lead me to post alongside Roy’s close friends and colleagues. But for Roy and for those who love Roy I really want to. He deserves it. I’m not an academic. I’m only partly versed in how the academy works. I'm not sure which parts of Roy’s work have most scholarly merit. Nor do I know which parts of CHNM that Roy was heavily involved in. But as a publisher and a fellow enthusiast of digital history there are some things I do know. Roy’s understanding of digital history and its potential was spectacular. I’m not sure I know of anyone else who had quite such a handle on what might be achieved. Every time I talked to him I learned and was enthused. Reading a paper written by Roy or looking at a project that Roy worked on one cannot but be impressed. What better example than his essay on the differences between Wikipedia and standard reference works (http://chnm.gmu.edu/resources/essays/d/42) – it’s infinitely clearer, more balanced and more constructive than the polemic that dominates the subject. For me Roy was exceptional because he was more a facilitator rather than an owner of ideas and projects. He was an enabler of people. His ideas and implementation of those ideas always seemed grounded in generosity, in sharing and in moving things forward. This is not common in my world. The field of digital history is well populated with ideas. Very few of these have been carried out well. I look over the glittering array of projects at CHNM, and beyond that to the enthusiastic and well informed staff. They seem both to be infused with a bit of Roy. I know that every time I use those sites I’ll be thinking of and missing Roy. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Note: Prodded by the Digital Campus broadcasts, I had finally set up a blog on wordpress when I learned of Roy's death. This was my first post. Roy Rosenzweig, Mark and Barbara Fried Professor of History and New Media at George Mason University, was a mentor and generous friend to those at a distance as well as to his many colleagues, collaborators, and students at George Mason University. We were saddened to hear of his death this past week. I have long counted myself lucky to have invited Roy to come to Miami University almost a decade ago. I had read his work in labor history and followed the development of the American Social History Project and Center for History and New Media initiatives. Teaching at Miami University’s regional campus in Middletown, Ohio, I worked with area teachers and coordinated the local National History Day competition. With generous support from both the Ohio Humanities Council and Miami University, I was able to invite Roy through the OAH Distinguished Lectureship Program, to spend two days in Ohio. He presented a workshop and discussion for local social studies teachers in Middletown and a lecture on history and new media on the Oxford campus. My great good fortune was to spend the two days with Roy, introducing him to colleagues, learning about the Center for History and New Media initiatives, discussing his book, with David Thelen, The Presence of the Past: Popular Uses of History in American Life, and talking over my own research and interests in digital media projects. We rambled around the Oxford campus, stopping to talk with faculty at Miami’s former College of Interdisciplinary Studies and then having lunch with Juan Gilbert, a professor in computer sciences who is now at Auburn University. I felt a bit like an outsider looking in on their conversation but I enjoyed every minute. Roy was an exciting speaker and a generous listener and mentor. Following his visit, Randy Bass came to the Middletown campus and the conversations that I had with both Roy and Randy inspired much of my subsequent work both directing a graduate program in public history at Wright State University and collaborating with educators on TAH grants. They helped me to see both my profession and the scholarship of history in a new way. Roy was a pioneer; he embraced the enduring value of the paperback book while moving beyond the narrower confines of print scholarship. And Roy always carried others forward with him. The ubiquitous red Z for Zotero in Firefox will remind many of us of Roy’s impact, through the Center for History and New Media, on our work. This June, not knowing that Roy was ill, I asked him to meet with my husband Gary Greenberg about a public television project. Once again, he gave generously of his time and his insights. Roy Rosenzweig has cast a wide net through his influential writing and the enduring value of the Center for History and New Media resources as well as through all of the colleagues he has listened to and inspired.

Of all the amazing qualities Roy possessed -- intelligence, generosity, creativity, industry, wit, and so many more -- the one that always stood out for me was trust. Roy trusted in history. He trusted in hard work. He trusted in fairness. Most of all, he trusted in people. Roy was a collaborator. He was brilliant on his own, but I think he was happiest and at his best when he was working with other people. And people flocked to him. I think Roy was able to gather so many friends and colleagues around him because he trusted them, often without prior cause and always without prejudice, and so people trusted him back. Roy showed us that the way to gain trust is to give trust, which is the same thing as saying that the way to be loved is to love. It's the best work lesson and the best life lesson I have ever learned, and Roy was the best teacher. I trust and love and miss him very much.

He taught me a lot of history that I didn’t know mattered until I read what he wrote (those brave, dedicated, obstinate Musteites, the class-mixing Elks and the teetoling Washingtonians; Allen Nevins and his vision of a popular history in American Heritage, to say nothing of wikipedia, which I now know I can use with utter confidence). In graduate school, he and Warren Leon taught all of us how to experiment in teaching history, and Roy just kept running with that one. He taught me how to use a data base back in the days of Kaypros, and he kept running with that one, too. So what, if he entered “lawn” and I entered “grass”and we both entered “politics” for just about every other keyword? Roy tried very very hard to teach me how to write transition sentences, to say nothing of how to get organized, meet deadlines, and work 18 hours a day without getting cranky. What could one do if what Roy willed for his eight hours was to get another twenty tasks done? He taught me how to argue as a way of thinking a problem through and without getting cranky--well, he never got cranky, anyway. He taught me how to put some flesh and bones onto historical abstractions, how to find the people and think about what a difference they made to the story we were trying to tell. He taught me to have faith in people, who would go about making history, whatever the rules. This photograph is of Roy about five years ago doing research on the Central Park Conservancy. But Roy isn’t here to show me how to upload this paragraph and the image in the same file, so I have to count on the rest of you he taught to figure out how to fix this.
