Blurring The Protagonist/ Antagonist Binary Through A Geopolitics Of Peace: Star Trek’S Cardassians, Antagonists Of The Alpha Quadrant, Hannah C. Gunderman
Blurring The Protagonist/ Antagonist Binary Through A Geopolitics Of Peace: Star Trek’S Cardassians, Antagonists Of The Alpha Quadrant, Hannah C. Gunderman
The Geographical Bulletin
The plotlines of many science fiction television programs and films establish the identities of the protagonists and antagonists at an early stage of the viewing experience . T hese boundaries serve to position the viewer on a particular side of the story, rendering it difficult to fully consider the Other’s actions and motivations . It is in this manner that media influences our perceptions of place and social dynamics through a formation of popular geopolitics . In this paper, I present the Cardassians, an extraterrestrial species in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, as a …
Star Trek And The Anthropological Machine: Eliding Difference To Stay Human, Jacob Barber
Star Trek And The Anthropological Machine: Eliding Difference To Stay Human, Jacob Barber
The Geographical Bulletin
This article considers the work of Giorgio Agamben’s ‘Anthropological Machine’ (2004) in the depiction of human-nonhuman interactions in Star Trek . While Star Trek aims to present a utopian vision of the future, a contradictory reading is equally plausible . Instead of embracing novel encounters with nonhuman life and technology, Star Trek retreats into an idealized vision of the human . Encounters with the nonhuman become vehicles through which to reinforce this vision of a bounded and pure human subject . In Star Trek, humans are made to be human through their constant encounters with nonhuman forms, and the possibility …
“Most Damning Of All… I Think I Can Live With It”: Captain Sisko, President Obama, And Emotional Geopolitics, David K. Seitz
“Most Damning Of All… I Think I Can Live With It”: Captain Sisko, President Obama, And Emotional Geopolitics, David K. Seitz
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper argues that the proliferation of geographical inquiry into popular culture as a prism for understanding geopolitical processes can benefit from more sustained engagement with psychoanalytic theory, particularly the work of Melanie Klein . Klein’s account of guilt and the urge to make reparation as both central to the development of conscience and profoundly unevenly distributed contributes to a critique of dominant, uneven geographies of guilt and encourages a nuanced approach to guilt’s potential ethical implications . To illustrate, I identify resonances between the contradictory legacy of the Obama administration and the character of Captain Sisko on the television …
Alternative Pasts, Presents, And Futures In Star Trek: Historical Engagement And Representation Through Popular Culture, Mark Alan Rhodes Ii
Alternative Pasts, Presents, And Futures In Star Trek: Historical Engagement And Representation Through Popular Culture, Mark Alan Rhodes Ii
The Geographical Bulletin
Star Trek has long used its unique situation as a socially and politically engaged television show to approach contemporary, historical, and futuristic ideas of race, labor, gender, nature, landscape, and place . The concept of alternate perceptions of history continues to provide engaging insights into historical representation . This paper explores how Star Trek, as an example of performance, media, and popular culture, contributes to dialogues of alternate pasts, presents, and futures . It builds upon these concepts to engage with and influence geographical dialogues of public space, nature, geopolitics, and societal structure . I explore examples from the television …
Owning The Future: Manifest Destiny And The Vision Of American Hegemony In Star Trek, Fiona M. Davidson
Owning The Future: Manifest Destiny And The Vision Of American Hegemony In Star Trek, Fiona M. Davidson
The Geographical Bulletin
As one of the most enduring television franchises of the late 20th century, Star Trek has had an unparalleled influence on the popular culture representation of humanity’s future as ultimately utopian . In this paper, however, I argue that even as the on-screen text of Star Trek was condemning the narrow parochial interests of nationalism, greed, xenophobia and fear, the narrative subtext throughout the fifty years of the franchise supported the idea of the expansion of western hegemonic power . The paper utilizes examples from all f ive series and the thirteen films to illustrate the ways in which western …

Introduction: The Geographies Of Star Trek, Mark Alan Rhodes Ii, Fiona M. Davidson, Hannah C. Gunderman
The Geographical Bulletin
There are relatively few media products that can compete with Star Trek in terms of longevity and cultural saturation . First introduced to audiences in 1966, the franchise now encompasses more than fifty years, six television series, thirteen films, countless spin-off novels and ancillary books, multiple annual international fan conventions and an enduring place in the popular culture lexicon of the English language—a remarkable feat for a television show that almost never made it to the screen and, even when it did, was canceled for poor ratings after just three seasons . San Francisco served as both the site of …

Leon Yacher: Scholar, Mentor, And Eclectic Geographer, Michael S. Devivo
The Geographical Bulletin
As Kenzer (2001) has noted, “unlike practitioners in other academic fields, when it comes to the intellectual history of our discipline, geographers love to dabble .” However, examining this dabbling has normally been restricted to examining the contributions of faculty in Ph .D .-granting departments . Indeed, our discipline’s history is rich, but written accounts are incomplete, for the voices of geographers serving in undergraduate programs at colleges and universities of little prestige have for the most part been silent . These programs are housed in institutions that are home to the vast majority of academic geographers, many of whom …
Environmental Impact Of Power Five Conference Realignment, Bradley Farley, Lisa M. Dechano-Cook, Lucius F. Hallett, Iv
Environmental Impact Of Power Five Conference Realignment, Bradley Farley, Lisa M. Dechano-Cook, Lucius F. Hallett, Iv
The Geographical Bulletin
NCAA Division I athletic conferences have recently undergone conference realignments . The expanding geographic footprint of these conferences has led to teams having an increased travel distances for all sports . T his research investigates the environmental impact that conference realignment has had in the “Power 5” conferences in NCAA Division I football . Based on travel distances, has the carbon footprint of the conferences changed dramatically from pre-realignment to post-realignment? In order to answer this question, we examined the changes in average travel distances for each conference pre- and post-alignment . We then calculated the carbon footprints resulting from …
Rhizoplaca Chrysoleuca As An Alternative Lichenometric Species: A Preliminary Investigation At The Lawn Lake Alluvial Fan, Rocky Mountain National Park, Co Usa, Jennifer Shanteau, Casey D. Allen
Rhizoplaca Chrysoleuca As An Alternative Lichenometric Species: A Preliminary Investigation At The Lawn Lake Alluvial Fan, Rocky Mountain National Park, Co Usa, Jennifer Shanteau, Casey D. Allen
The Geographical Bulletin
Lichenometry can be a useful tool to date past events when surface ages are unknown . As a method, lichenometry needs to overcome uncertainties in the understanding of lichen biology . Being fairly ubiquitous, Rhizocarpon geographicum is generally used for dating purposes . Other lichens can and have been used for studies, but are often used in conjunction with R . geographicum . This case study suggests that for areas lacking R . geographicum, Rhizoplaca chrysoleuca may be used as an alternate species if the substrate in question does not have substantial R . geographicum growth . While R . …
Effects Of Giant Traveling Map Use On Student Spatial Thinking, Jory Fleming, Jerry Mitchell
Effects Of Giant Traveling Map Use On Student Spatial Thinking, Jory Fleming, Jerry Mitchell
The Geographical Bulletin
Geographic education is crucial for preparing students to navigate the places and spaces they inhabit, and National Geographic’s Giant Traveling Map program seeks to address this need by providing an immersive and kinesthetic learning experience with the use of a gym-sized floor map . In this study, a Giant Traveling Map was tested with sixth grade students to determine the effect of engaging with the map on improving spatial thinking skills . Questions were drawn from the Spatial T hinking Ability Test to assess students’ skills pre- and post-experience . Our results show minimal improvement for a few very specific …

Book Review, Dawn M. Drake
The Geographical Bulletin
The Map Thief is an interesting read in that it combines a true crime tale with a cartographic history lesson to weave a narrative that is both informative and entertaining . Author Michael Blanding set out to write a short piece for a magazine, but saw a much larger story of a complicated man . Unfortunately he cannot get the subject of the story to help the author understand his motivations . In the end, Blanding gets around these difficulties in a way that makes the tale much more rich and intriguing . The Map Thief is a great read …

A Giscience Approach To Analyzing Spatial Patterns Of Voter Turnout In Omaha, Nebraska, Kaitlyn Taylor, H. Jason Combs, Paul R. Burger
A Giscience Approach To Analyzing Spatial Patterns Of Voter Turnout In Omaha, Nebraska, Kaitlyn Taylor, H. Jason Combs, Paul R. Burger
The Geographical Bulletin
Scholars from a variety of disciplines have analyzed voter participation, with most studies focusing on socio-demographic issues to explain turnout . Often overlooked, however, is the geography of voter participation . Omaha, Nebraska presents an economically and ethnically diverse study area to examine geographic factors related to turnout . Over 51 percent of the state’s registered voters live in three counties—Douglas, Sarpy, and Lancaster—which contain the Omaha and Lincoln metropolitan areas . This project employs Geographic Information Science (GIScience) along with electoral geography principles and spatial analysis to evaluate voter participation across the Omaha metropolitan area .

Lack Of Inclusive Stakeholder Representation In Watershed Management Groups In The Midwest: A Threat To Legitimacy, Bruce M. Hall
Lack Of Inclusive Stakeholder Representation In Watershed Management Groups In The Midwest: A Threat To Legitimacy, Bruce M. Hall
The Geographical Bulletin
Legitimacy in natural resource management refers to the degree to which citizens accept and comply with stated plans and policies . Lack of legitimacy can threaten collaboration-based watershed groups that rely on voluntary compliance of major stakeholders to achieve their water quality goals . One of the most cited requirements for legitimacy in natural resource collaborations is inclusive representation . A study of several watershed groups in Wisconsin and Illinois was undertaken in order to find out if lack of inclusiveness is a threat to legitimacy within watershed groups that could impede the success of such organizations in meeting their …

A Fog Climatology Of The Delmarva Peninsula, Wesley R. Skeeter, Darren B. Parnell, Brent R. Skeeter
The Geographical Bulletin
The Delmarva Peninsula is a unique region with regards to the importance of fog . This study examines the spatial and temporal variability of fog characteristics across the Peninsula . In this paper, we use five stations with reliable records to create a regional fog climatology . Results indicate there is a high degree of temporal variability over relatively short distances, especially when comparing coastal to inland locations . The most inland location, Salisbury, receives by far the greatest annual frequency of fog . The seasonal distribution of fog events for the inland and coastal locations differ greatly, with Salisbury …

Who Lives Where: A Comprehensive Population Taxonomy Of Cities, Suburbs, Exurbs, And Rural Areas In The United States, Brian Edward Johnson, Jason Shifferd
Who Lives Where: A Comprehensive Population Taxonomy Of Cities, Suburbs, Exurbs, And Rural Areas In The United States, Brian Edward Johnson, Jason Shifferd
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper answers the question: how many Americans live in cities, suburbs, exurbs, and rural areas in the United States? Previous works have examined only one or some of these settlement types instead of accounting for the entire country’s population, or have employed highly technical classifications uncommon in common parlance. T his paper develops a comprehensive classification scheme using vernacular settlement types, then organizes U.S. Census data into the taxonomy presented here. This research contributes to the existing literature by (1) reporting the number and percentages living in all four major settlement types rather than covering only one or two …
Sustainable Campus Landscapes In The United States And China: A Comparative Analysis, Zhaofang Zhang, Jing Zhou, Deanna Schmidt, Kathleen Garland
Sustainable Campus Landscapes In The United States And China: A Comparative Analysis, Zhaofang Zhang, Jing Zhou, Deanna Schmidt, Kathleen Garland
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper explores landscapes of sustainability. Universities across the world have incorporated sustainability into their curriculum, research, infrastructure operation, and resource management. However, campus landscapes are relatively unexplored assets to promote university sustainability. As the physical embodiment of university values as well as an enduring legacy, campus landscapes offer the potential to integrate sustainability into the fabric of universities for generations to come. The paper presents findings from an empirical study of two universities: China T hree Gorges University, Yinchang City, Hubei province, China, (CTGU) and the University of Houston, Clear Lake, Texas, United States (UHCL).

Testing The Feasibility Of Dendrogeomorphic Studies In The Southeastern U.S. On Mt. Le Conte, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee, U.S.A., Maegen L. Rochner, Henri D. Grissino-Mayer
Testing The Feasibility Of Dendrogeomorphic Studies In The Southeastern U.S. On Mt. Le Conte, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee, U.S.A., Maegen L. Rochner, Henri D. Grissino-Mayer
The Geographical Bulletin
Dendrogeomorphic analyses of mass movement events have been sparingly conducted at sites in the western United States, and are especially uncommon in the eastern U.S. The goal of this study was to determine if southeastern tree species in Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) record evidence of debris slides in their tree-ring record. Following initial reconnaissance on three debris slide scars on Mt. Le Conte in GSMNP, we performed preliminary dendrogeomorphic analysis on one of the slides, LC01. This slide is considered, although not thoroughly documented, to have occurred following a cloudburst on September 1, 1951. The identification of suppressed …

An Examination Of Abstract The Effect Of Building Compactness And Green Roofs On Indoor Temperature Through The Use Of Physical Models, Gon Park, Timothy W. Hawkins
An Examination Of Abstract The Effect Of Building Compactness And Green Roofs On Indoor Temperature Through The Use Of Physical Models, Gon Park, Timothy W. Hawkins
The Geographical Bulletin
Green roofs provide energy and cost savings during summer by insulating buildings and therefore keeping them cooler . Most prior studies have used only roof area to calculate the energy savings of green roofs . T his study observed four physical models for 54 days to ascertain how building geometry and compactness impact indoor temperature on buildings where a green roof has been installed . Indoor temperature was decreased due to green roof implementation by 8 .1°C on a less compact building compared to 4 .6°C on a more compact building . These results are more apparent on warm days …

A Comparison Of North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program Output And Oklahoma Mesonet Observations: Precipitation And Temperature, Emma L. Kuster, Charlotte E. Lunday, Renee A. Mcpherson
The Geographical Bulletin
In this study, we compare precipitation and temperature model output from the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP) against observations from the 120-station Oklahoma Mesonet . Our goal is to better understand how well the combinations of global and regional climate models in NARCCAP represent the gradients, diurnal cycles, and seasonality of precipitation and temperature across Oklahoma . Although several studies have compared NARCCAP output to surface observations, this research is the first comparing regional climate model output with observations from such a rich source of quality surface observations . Our results showed that warm season precipitation was …

Quantifying Forest Structure Within Two Managed Units In Rock Cut State Park, Dustin P. Bergman, David Goldblum
The Geographical Bulletin
The 1251 ha Rock Cut State Park (RCSP) is the largest state park in northern Illinois . Over the past 56 years, management practices have included prescribed burning, regular mowing, and tree plantings . Specifically, we sought to quantify the species composition, age structure, and light environment in two management units within the park . The first unit (campground) was last burned in 2009 and is comprised of primarily small trees; the second unit (Willow Creek Natural Area – WCNA) is more open and relatively undisturbed with larger trees . To assess these two units we used several methods, including …
