Collaborative Research: A Sociolinguistic Investigation Of Franco-American French, Jane S. Smith
University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
With National Science Foundation support, Drs. Cynthia Fox and Jane Smith will conduct three years of linguistic research on a unique variety of French. This language was brought to the northeastern part of the United States by French Canadian immigrants from Quebec and Acadians from the Maritimes over a period from the end of the 18th century into the 20th. These Franco-Americans constitute a significant segment of the populations of the northeastern states. Thanks to an ideology that supported the preservation of their ancestral heritage, they represent the second largest concentration of French speakers in the United States. But in …

The Century Of The Oxford Bear: Party Politics, Patronage, And The Popular Press In Creating Maine County Identity, 1820-1920, Larry Glatz
Maine History
Oxford County, Maine, gained an early reputation as a bastion of Jeffersonian-Jacksonian Democracy in the otherwise Whiggish Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and accordingly political foes disparaged the county as a land of “backwoods bears.” Residents, ironically; adopted the image, and this early political labeling became a symbol of a shared culture and heritage. This article examines the “Oxford Bear" as an example of county history and the dynamics of local identity. Author Larry Glatz received an A.B. from Dartmouth and a M.A.T. from Harvard. He became involved in computer technology as an educator, and this eventually led him to a career …

Buckfield: A Geographical History Of Rural Development In Nineteenth-Century Oxford County, Nancy Hatch
Maine History
In this article author Nancy Hatch presents a geographical and historical account of the town of Buckfield, Oxford County; Maine, that elaborates a model of center-village development constructed by Joseph Wood in his The New England Village, and a model of connected farm buildings, as constructed by Thomas Hubka in his Big House, Little House, Back House, Barn. Hatch uses these models to explain how Buckfield responded to the growth of inter-regional agricultural markets in the mid-nineteenth century and to new architectural styles that appeared on the national scene in these decades. Ms. Hatch was a student at …
Settling Oxford County: Maine’S Revolutionary War Bounty Myth, Jean F. Hankins
Settling Oxford County: Maine’S Revolutionary War Bounty Myth, Jean F. Hankins
Maine History
It is a common assumption that many New England frontier towns were founded by veterans of the Revolutionary War who had been given land for their service to the country. Author Jean Hankins's careful research in deeds, records, and legislative acts shows that this was not the case in representative Oxford County towns. Although there were a variety of bounties given for land in these towns, few had anything to do with the Revolutionary War. The Revolutionary War bounty myth persists, the author specidates, because it is an appealing way to begin the history of these towns, and because, since …

Maine History
Seven of Maine's seventy-two governors or acting governors were either born in what is today Oxford County or served from that county which was incorporated on March 4, 1805, two hundred years ago this year. Five of these seven left a legacy as chief executives of the state.

Dr. Howe received his Ph.D. from the University of Maine in 1977. He …

Meeting Discusses Issues Surrounding Red Cross Affiliation, Melanie Morin
Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
A General Student Senate resolution passed last April that encourages student organizations not to associate with the American Red Cross because of accusations of gay discrimination which have caused concern over campus blood drives. The controversy stems from a Food and Drug Administration policy originating in 1983. The policy prohibits all men who have ever had sex with any other man since 1977 from donating blood. Since this time, ·technology has reduced the risk of contracting HIV through blood donations to about one unit per two million donations, according to the Red Cross Web site.

Belonging, Bridges, And Bodies, Sheena Malhotra, Kimberlee Pérez
Belonging, Bridges, And Bodies, Sheena Malhotra, Kimberlee Pérez
Graduate Student Scholarly and Creative Submissions
Feminists' negotiations of academic spaces are often facilitated by allies who act as bridges for us. We interviewed three pairs of women who are friends, colleagues, or partners and analyzed their stories for notions of how they were enacting bridgework for each other within the context of fluid identities, and shifting power relationships. We find that bridgework happens primarily along three axes in these relationships: bridging to community, bridging to power, and bridging to consciousness. This paper unpacks the differentials of bridgework done by differently racialized bodies as a means to understanding the conditions for belonging those bodies evoke. We …
