Frontline Extension Professionals & Covid-19: Supporting Household Food Security & Building Resilience, Mary T. Rodriguez
Journal of International Agricultural and Extension Education
The world was not prepared for the COVID-19 pandemic. It has tremendously impacted health and food systems around the world and the depth and breadth of its long-term effects are yet to be seen. The rates of those that will be in poverty and food insecure are significantly higher than the predictions pre-COVID. People are coping in any way that they can, at times in ways that will have lasting impacts on their households and communities. A community’s ability to absorb, adapt, and transform in the face of crisis can significantly impact how it is able to survive and thrive …

Examining Extension-Supported Rural Community Coalitions During Covid-19, Catherine Jones, Abigail Borron, Alexa Lamm, Catherine Dobbins, Ellen Farmer, Marsha Davis
Journal of International Agricultural and Extension Education
Key informant interviews with extension-supported community coalition members in five rural communities during the COVID-19 pandemic were used to examine the unique characteristics of rural community resiliency in the face of a crisis based onthe community capitals framework. Using a thematic analysis, seven different human and material capitals were examined in community members’ reactions to a “black swan” event. Rural community coalition members shared their perspectives on the vitality of their community in the face of adversity which revealed obstacles extension professionals can support through community development efforts focused on building resiliency. The analysis identified three emergent themes: (1) juxtaposing …

The Development And Validation Of A Personal Agency Scale Based In The Community Capitals Framework, Abigail Borron, Kevan W. Lamm, Keith Atkins
The Development And Validation Of A Personal Agency Scale Based In The Community Capitals Framework, Abigail Borron, Kevan W. Lamm, Keith Atkins
Journal of International Agricultural and Extension Education
Used in a variety of community contexts and needs, the Community Capitals Framework (CCF) is an analytical tool to holistically examine the complex and unique characteristics that exist at the local level. While CCF—which focuses on social, human, cultural, political, natural, financial, and built capitals—has been used to collect community information to identify and assess suitable programming efforts, a gap currently exists in the literature providing agricultural and extension educators with the tools necessary to examine CCF characteristics, both at the community and individual levels. Designed as a pilot study targeting six counties in [STATE], this research developed a personal …

Identifying Levels Of Engagement In Local Food Systems By Generation In The State Of Georgia, U.S.A., Abraham Tidwell, Alexa J. Lamm
Identifying Levels Of Engagement In Local Food Systems By Generation In The State Of Georgia, U.S.A., Abraham Tidwell, Alexa J. Lamm
Journal of Applied Communications
Local food systems are an emerging way for communities to build vibrant economies, improve health outcomes, and limit their environmental impact. Studies have shown local food engagement differs significantly between generations; however, what remains unclear is how generations’ perceptions and engagement compare to each other so the agricultural community can most effectively communicate about local food systems. Leveraging audience segmentation theory from social marketing, this study sought to address how the five living generations in the United States – Generation Z, Millennials, Generation X, Baby Boomers, and The Silent Generation – perceived and engaged with local food systems. To address …

Overcoming Institutional Barriers To Service Learning, Talia Smith, Annie Zou, Grace Nelson, Ali Al-Ghaithi
Center for Engagement and Community Development
Partnerships between universities and community organizations contribute to sustainable community development by creating networks of resources that may not otherwise exist among university faculty, students and community members. Service learning serves as a vessel for connecting and strengthening these resources; however, barriers within universities limit effective practice. University faculty members often cite time constraints, coordination challenges, and lack of support as deterrents to the incorporation of service learning projects in their courses. To overcome such barriers, universities can implement institutional structures and programs that facilitate community-engaged learning. A case study of the Service Learning Academy (SLA) at the University of …

Creating Constraints To Community Resiliency: The Event Of A Rural School’S Closure, Jacquelyn Oncescu
Creating Constraints To Community Resiliency: The Event Of A Rural School’S Closure, Jacquelyn Oncescu
Online Journal of Rural Research & Policy
In this study, a community resilience model is utilized to explore the impacts of a rural school’s closure and its implication on community resiliency in the Village of Limerick, Saskatchewan. The findings from four semi-structured interviews and three focus groups indicate that the school’s closure created a number of constraints that have considerable implications for community resilience. In particular, the school’s closure decreased the residents’ sense of community. In addition, as a result of the school’s closure, the community resident’s experienced diminishing civic engagement in the form of volunteerism, community recreation participation, and intergenerational relationships. This paper demonstrates the challenges …

Adult Environmental Education And The Cultural Commons: A Study Of Community Practices For A Just And Sustainable World, Audrey M. Dentith, Emily Kearns Burke, Kris Conmy, Daniel K. Frimpong, Barbara Nadeau, Elizabeth Sanders, Jennifer Saunders, Nancy Winfrey, Sarah Herchel
Adult Education Research Conference
Ecojustice adult education, an extension of adult environmental education, has been spurred on by international efforts to educate adults about environmental issues. It is a new and evolving arm of the adult education field that studies the ways that dominant views are impacting human/earth relationships. Ecojustice education teaches about the natural and cultural commons that sustain all life. In this symposiusm, doctoral students investigated their own communities to find examples of the cultural commons.
Envisioning An Ecojustice Adult Education, Audrey M. Dentith
Envisioning An Ecojustice Adult Education, Audrey M. Dentith
Adult Education Research Conference
This paper outlines an ecojustice adult education and distinguishes it from adult environmental education. The ecological crisis is described and a call is made for adult educators to take the initiative to teach and learn about the ecological crisis. Adult education is perfectly poised to confront these issues yet little effort has been made in the field. Adult educators might envision ecojustice education within a larger social justice effort.

There is a reason why Pétionville is the center of the recovery effort in Haiti. Its perch in the hills above Port-au-Prince offers relative isolation from the metropolis, in addition to the mind-boggling panoramic views of the basin and bay from which that city has grown—qualities enough for establishing a national financial center, and some of Haiti’s most luxurious hotels.

As the mementoes of the assembly line approach the past, the last century’s building portfolio epitomizes the industrialized era in which it was produced. Isolating energy systems and siloing disciplines from each other for efficiency’s sake has resulted in a collection of buildings that are anything but efficient.

This roundtable aims to present and to create audience discussion of preliminary data categories from an ongoing historical project with implications for contemporary adult education practice. In this case, the researchers analyzed the work of Dr. Margaret Mead, a cultural anthropologist. Dr. Mead was outspoken about the need for all adults to become lifelong learners and of the corresponding responsibility of academics to freely discuss their work and thoughts in public forums in order to stimulate well-informed interest in community, family, and political issues. In fact, in additional to scholarly works, she wrote public essays, editorials, appeared in documentaries, and …

An Assessment Of The Impact Of Internship Programs In The Agricultural Technical Schools Of Egypt As Perceived By Participants Groups, Catherine W. Shoulders, R. Kirby Barrick, Brian E. Myers
Journal of International Agricultural and Extension Education
Experiential learning including student internships has been central to instructional programs in agriculture for decades. If the Agricultural Technical Schools of Egypt are to prepare students for successful careers and to enhance the agricultural economy, teachers must be well-prepared to use this teaching technique. Further, all stakeholders, including students, teachers, parents, headmasters and agribusiness owners, must recognize the importance and impact that implementing a student internship program could have. In this study, all groups identified important contributions to student learning and growth as a result of student participation in the internship program. While several suggestions were posited to improve the …

Inclusion And Effectiveness In Adult Education And Orientation In Less Developed Countries: Case Study Of Cameroon, Tandgyie Evani, Edmond Biloa, Sonny Roland Balinga
Adult Education Research Conference
Concepts of Adult education and orientation remain conspicuously absent in the curriculum at all levels of education in Cameroon. This situation has obscured the understanding of complex efforts on connecting adult education to the increasing adoption of a widening range of educational services and mechanisms that would lead to more effective and adequate results .This paper sets to redefine adult education through the lens of Less Developed Countries (LDCs) in general and the Cameroon context in particular. The paper equally underscores the pertinence of the implementation of a twin-track scholarly and community approaches to speed up development in LDCs.

Metro-Nonmetro Economic Growth And Convergence In The Plains States - Rethinking The Rural-Urban Relationship In A Global Economy, Elgin Mannion, Konstantinos Zougris
Metro-Nonmetro Economic Growth And Convergence In The Plains States - Rethinking The Rural-Urban Relationship In A Global Economy, Elgin Mannion, Konstantinos Zougris
Online Journal of Rural Research & Policy
This paper tests for conditional b-convergence, and for s-, or unconditional convergence of the metro- and non-metro portions of per capita incomes of the Plains states as classified by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and calculates metro- non-metro income inequality. We find evidence of b-convergence only for the state of Missouri, and divergence for Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota, indicating slower economic growth, and lack of economic parity for Plains states’ non-metro counties, and heterogeneity rather than homogeneity in terms of factor endowments. Metro non-metro income inequality as measured by the Gini coefficient, increased for all …
