Geopolitics In Africa’S Great Lakes Region, Gilbert M. Khadiagala
Geopolitics In Africa’S Great Lakes Region, Gilbert M. Khadiagala
Journal of African Policy Studies
This paper examines the civil war in the Congo since the late 1990s through regional and national lenses. It contends that Congo's problems are not unique; instead, they reflect a larger phenomenon of the lack of synergy between geography and politics in the Great Lakes region. The stabilization of power in geographical spaces is the puzzle of building institutions not just in the Congo, but also among its equally weak neighbors.
Community Music Among Brazilian Culture: A Community Engagement Project, Ayla Tedeschi
Community Music Among Brazilian Culture: A Community Engagement Project, Ayla Tedeschi
Expressive Therapies Theses
Although community music eludes a fixed definition due to its fluid and context-dependent nature, its effects are found to be beneficial throughout the world. An example of this is seen among native and emigrant Brazilians where music is part of the individual, community, and culture. This thesis explores the therapeutic value of community music among current residents of Brazil and Brazilians that have emigrated to the United States. Through a community engagement project, this research hypothesized that although music may serve different purposes occasionally, the primary function-to create community and culture-remains the same. Participation in two key community music making …
Recent U.S. Government Policy Literature On Critical And Strategic Minerals, Bert Chapman
Recent U.S. Government Policy Literature On Critical And Strategic Minerals, Bert Chapman
Libraries Faculty and Staff Scholarship and Research
Critical and strategic minerals have become increasingly important in U.S. government civilian and military policymaking in recent years. This is demonstrated by the heavy use of such minerals in many critical civilian and military infrastructures. This work will discuss how this subject has been addressed in laws, presidential documents, and works by government agencies along with congressional oversight committees and support agencies. It will stress how the United States is heavily dependent on strategic minerals from adversarial foreign countries such as China and will examine U.S. efforts to increase its ability to produce such materials in the United States by …
Generational Remigration Of The Latvian Diaspora: Tracing The Confluence Of Cultural Identity And Economic Opportunity, Elizabeth L. Curiskis
Generational Remigration Of The Latvian Diaspora: Tracing The Confluence Of Cultural Identity And Economic Opportunity, Elizabeth L. Curiskis
Geography Honors Projects
At just 1.85 million, Latvia’s current population is declining at one of the fastest rates in Europe. This situation is prompting the Latvian government to introduce policies seeking economic, political, educational, and cultural engagement with the country’s diaspora with the hope that some of the approximately 390,000 emigrants and their descendants living abroad will return to live in Latvia. This paper asks whether these government initiatives are successful in their goal of influencing Latvian diaspora members to remigrate, and if the policies acknowledge and reconcile generational differences in the diaspora’s attitudes towards cultural involvement and eventual remigration. Through surveys and …
Seas Of Lemongrass: A Political Ecology Perspective On Urban Agriculture And Immigrant Food Security In The Twin Cities, Minnesota, Reece V. Mckee
Seas Of Lemongrass: A Political Ecology Perspective On Urban Agriculture And Immigrant Food Security In The Twin Cities, Minnesota, Reece V. Mckee
Geography Honors Projects
Urban agriculture (UA) frequently employs organic, polycultural and agroecological techniques in order to farm suboptimal urban land with limited resources. However, less scholarly attention has been paid to its actual impacts on the eating patterns of marginalized groups like immigrants, which is important to study for political debates about the expansion and purpose of UA. In this study, I examined how different forms of UA affect food security and dietary diversity for immigrants in the Twin Cities, Minnesota. Using dietary surveys, food access questionnaires, and informal conversations, I determined that a simplistic definition of food security focused only on overall …
Vienna In The New Century: From Public Housing Haven To Neoliberalized Mega Projects, Connery R. Ritter
Vienna In The New Century: From Public Housing Haven To Neoliberalized Mega Projects, Connery R. Ritter
Geography Honors Projects
While Vienna is often presented as a utopia for social sustainability, the urban developments after the turn of the century have revealed the variegated nature of Neoliberalization. Since the fall of the USSR, Vienna has privatized municipal bodies and engaged with financialized urban development projects. While this Neoliberalized urban governance approach has met with resistance, the resistance ironically has also enabled the city to capitalize on its social-welfarist past. Vienna nowadays brands itself as a sustainable and livable city for corporations, which leads to land assetization and new economic segregation.
Examining The Impact Of Reentry Programs On The Employability Of African American Ex-Offenders Entering The Workforce In The State Of Michigan, Lawrence Gene Caldwell
Examining The Impact Of Reentry Programs On The Employability Of African American Ex-Offenders Entering The Workforce In The State Of Michigan, Lawrence Gene Caldwell
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
African American ex-offenders in Michigan have faced numerous challenges when trying to secure employment after incarceration. Despite the well-documented difficulties of reintegration, their personal experiences and perceptions of these obstacles remain largely unexplored. Successful reintegration has required individuals to break free from the behaviors and social patterns reinforced during their time in prisons. This generic qualitative study examined the role of reentry programs in addressing these challenges and emphasizes the need to reassess current criminal justice practices to better support formerly incarcerated individuals. This generic qualitative study focused on the employment struggles faced by African American ex-offenders and the broader …
Fields Under The Hoof: Characterizing Plant Cultivation Of Agropastoralists In Bronze And Iron Age Inner Asia (3000 Bce - 1000 Ce), Melissa Ritchey
Fields Under The Hoof: Characterizing Plant Cultivation Of Agropastoralists In Bronze And Iron Age Inner Asia (3000 Bce - 1000 Ce), Melissa Ritchey
Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation examines the agropastoral practices in the Eurasian landmass between the 3rd millennium BCE to 1st millennium CE, focusing on characterizing how communities living in mountainous Inner Asia incorporated plant cultivation into their mobile agropastoralist lifestyle. I examine macrobotanical remains from key archaeological sites along the routes of the trans-Eurasian exchange of domesticated plants and animals and various technologies during the Bronze and Iron Ages. These sites include Chap, Kyrgyzstan, Tasbas, Kazakhstan, and Dingdong, Piyang, Jiweng, Kaerdong, and Bangga, located in Tibet. I use stable carbon and nitrogen isotope values of archaeological plant remains and macrobotanical assemblages to assess …

Spatial Variations In Women's Share Of The Manufacturing Labor Force In Tennessee: A Statistical Analysis, Ted Klimasewski
Spatial Variations In Women's Share Of The Manufacturing Labor Force In Tennessee: A Statistical Analysis, Ted Klimasewski
The Geographical Bulletin
A neglected facet of the geographic literature is the role of women employed in the labor force. Women make up a significant share of the labor force, and comprise approximately a third of the manufacturing employment in the United States during 1970. But the relative magnitude of female employment in manufacturing varies throughout the United States, and in some areas of the South, women make up more than half of the manufacturing employment. The purpose of this study is to introduce the manufactural aspect of women's role in the labor force by (1) examining the spatial variation in women's share …
Spatial Ordering In Social Area Typology, Larry B. Bubacz
Spatial Ordering In Social Area Typology, Larry B. Bubacz
The Geographical Bulletin
The primary purpose of this paper is to provide tentative evaluation of the general applicability of two statistics, the weighted mean areal center and standard distance, to the question of spatial ordering in social area analysis. More specifically, does the use of these statistics identify whether social phenomena tends to conform to either a concentric (doughnut) ring or a sector (pie-shaped) pattern? The weighted mean areal center is defined as the "balancing point" or "center of gravity" for a population distributed in twodimensions (x-y coordinates) which is comparable to the arithmetic mean of the conventional linear frequency distribution.' The descriptive …
Systems Approach In Physical Geography, Hubert B. Stroud
Systems Approach In Physical Geography, Hubert B. Stroud
The Geographical Bulletin
The concept of a system is not new and the emergence of systems analysis in academia has caused controversy over the significance of this approach as a viable means of scientific analysis. Some geography scholars feel that the use of systems analysis would definitely put us on the research frontier,1 while others view the term " systems" as nothing more than jargon. Nevertheless, the simplest definition for system is " a set of interrelated elements." The demand for the systems approach arose because scholars in a number of disciplines recognized in their own research that individual components of a problem …
The American State Capital, A Twentieth Century Growth Pole, Frederick A. Hirsch
The American State Capital, A Twentieth Century Growth Pole, Frederick A. Hirsch
The Geographical Bulletin
A fall-out of our avoidance of " capes and bays" geography has been a " benign neglect" of political capitals. In addition to the mental block arising from past tedious memorizations of their existence has been a second factor of sparseness of cases. The United States with fifty state capitals has more than the number of capitals in most of the other federally organized sovereignties. The scientifically oriented among academic geographers have preferred to analyze phenomena in greater abundance such as central places or stream beds.
Utilization Of Plat Books For Determination Of The Rural-Urban Fringe, Douglas J. Kocher
Utilization Of Plat Books For Determination Of The Rural-Urban Fringe, Douglas J. Kocher
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper has as its purpose the identification of the Valparaiso, Indiana rural-urban fringe' through an analysis of property boundary changes as evidence in county plat books. It is designed to test two hypotheses dealing with the nature of Valparaiso expansion and subdivision of land : one, greater urban expansion of Valparaiso will tend to be linear in nature and in the direction of major industrial areas and population centers; and two, the subdivision of land will show a marked increase with time as the urban area expands.
City Structure And City Change: A System Analysis Approach, A. Y. Abu-Ayyash
City Structure And City Change: A System Analysis Approach, A. Y. Abu-Ayyash
The Geographical Bulletin
The structure of the city and the transformation processes which generate changes in its structure have fascinated intellectuals from many disciplines. Sociologists are mainly concerned with the social structure and the demographic characteristics of the inhabitants of the city as a base for understanding its structure. Economists are concerned with economic forces in terms of locational competition as the main reasons for the changing structure of the city. Engineers are concerned with the architecture of the city.

The Geographical Bulletin
With the recent proliferation of periodicals which cater to geographers, it is probably a satisfaction for an editor to know that his periodical is still in business. At the recent annual meeting of Gamma Theta Upsilon the intent was clear on the part of the Executive Committee to stay in business. That is gratifying. But most satisfaction comes with the publication of this volume. You really are never aware of the breadth and depth of the articles offered until an index is made. A review of the index to volumes 1-6 show a considerable range of topics for our readers …

Methodology In The Natural And Social Sciences And Its Relationship To Geography, James T. Lorell
Methodology In The Natural And Social Sciences And Its Relationship To Geography, James T. Lorell
The Geographical Bulletin
Various methodologies are utilized in science in the achievement of these goals. Wellman concludes, "in the determination of cause and effect relations, scientific methods are indispensable, but there is no one scientific method which is inherently superior to others. We are gradually coming to realize that there is no one best method for all problems, but rather that research procedure calls for the finding of a blend of methods that is adapted to our particular problem "2
A Review Of Some Research Paradigms And Problems In Social-Science Research Of Interest To Contemporary Geography, Richard J. Newcombe
A Review Of Some Research Paradigms And Problems In Social-Science Research Of Interest To Contemporary Geography, Richard J. Newcombe
The Geographical Bulletin
The purpose of this paper is to contrast research methods in use in the Biological and Physical Sciences with those in use in the Social Sciences, and to do so in a manner which emphasizes aspects of these methods of interest to Geographers. Attention is directed to the strengths and weaknesses of different research paradigms with respect to problems which are characteristic of social science subject matter. Many of these problems take a different form or are absent in the older disciplines in which most of the research types reviewed have their origins.
Thoughts And Observations Concerning The Future Of Geomorphic And Soils Research*, David Stiller
Thoughts And Observations Concerning The Future Of Geomorphic And Soils Research*, David Stiller
The Geographical Bulletin
Geomorphology is today challenged as it has never been challenged before. The days of Davis and Penck, acknowledged giants of the past, are gone. The time when description of the earth's surface features is sufficient unto itself is in its final days. For the most part, those who would be geomorphologists have had to find a newer, more relevant rationale. Many have investigated those processes which shape our earth-and perhaps this is as it should be.
Malaria In Mexico, C. Johnson
Malaria In Mexico, C. Johnson
The Geographical Bulletin
The traditional picture of Mexico, at least to the average tourist, is never complete without a peon, in sombrero and serape, sleeping in the noonday sun, or putting off to manana whatever physical exertion is required. Actually, when seriously considered, this picture is found to be a myth, no more representative of the Mexican than the traditional cowboy or gangster image is of the American. What is interesting in the image of the peon, however, is that he is an excellent example of a population debilitated by malaria. To most North Americans, the existence of endemic malaria in an industrialized, …

A Rainy Day (Response To Topophilia), Brian Oyck
The Geographical Bulletin
It is raining again. Your penetrating wet coat Caresses the body of the bare penurious trees With warmth and love. Your pendant ringlets tinkle In the calm morning freshness Proclaiming life With each trivial drop. Slithering from leaf to stem Your comforting arms Encompass the lonesome trees With a fleece of regenerating security. And even though you are cursed and blessed, You feel no pain or lust but Reside in your commitment To give what you have Allowing life to continue. It is raining again.
The Field Trip: Living Geography, Lawrence R. Handle
The Field Trip: Living Geography, Lawrence R. Handle
The Geographical Bulletin
A necessary skill of the geographer is the ability to observe and correlate in the landscape what the classroom is and is not able to teach. Fieldwork and the field trip, as carried on by the individual or a group, become the means of learning geographical concepts by direct observation of the landscape. The field trip may be of varying length, a walking tour, or a driving trip of 10 to 2,500 miles, and of varying intent and scope. It may be single-purpose, such as to study the CBD, industry, or residences; or multipurpose, to study combinations of landscape patterns, …
Shqiptari: The Origins And Distribution Of Population In Albania, G. Philip Curti
Shqiptari: The Origins And Distribution Of Population In Albania, G. Philip Curti
The Geographical Bulletin
From a hearthland in the eastern Caucasus, the Albanians migrated by two routes and three waves. The Gheg moved north of the Black Sea to the Illyrian culture area, and the Tosc through Anatolia. Modern censuses of the People's Republic of Albania are improving in content and accuracy and population movement over the decade 1960-1969 shows marked trends towards urbanization concentrated in the rrathe of Vlore, Berat, Lushnje, Durres and Tirane. The old are left in the highlands, and despite wartime losses, males still outnumber females.
Editor's Comments, James W. Gallagher
Editor's Comments, James W. Gallagher
The Geographical Bulletin
Volume 8 represents a variety of interests expressed by competent geographers. Two articles deal with general observations regarding the state of geographic research; one treats in essay form the perceived need for further work in soils research; two represent thorough research dealing with widely divergent topics; and one discusses some of the details of a basic technique-field tripping. Finally, you will find the Bulletin's first attempt at poetry. We liked it, and after all, the alternative was no poetry at all. And wouldn't that be dreary? The editor's chair is one place for a different type of reflection than one …
