Rice Growing Environment Of The Ibagué Belt, Colombia: An Ecological Study At The Geotope Scale, Alexander Martínez Rivillas, William Barragán Zaque
Rice Growing Environment Of The Ibagué Belt, Colombia: An Ecological Study At The Geotope Scale, Alexander Martínez Rivillas, William Barragán Zaque
The Geographical Bulletin
Based on the biophysical and socioecological primary information collected and analyzed by the authors in two geotopes of the rice growing area of the Ibague region (Colombia, south America), an ecological study of the rice landscape is offered by means of using the GTP method (Geosystem, Territory, and Landscape) of Bertrand. We aspire to obtain an integrated vision of this environment on the scale of geotopos. It is shown that these spatial units can support a study of an “environmental landscape” inspired by Bertrand’s epistemology. T he research applies the principles of the GTP, traditionally conceived for the study of …

Ritual And Research: Notes From The Field, Sophie C. Williams
Ritual And Research: Notes From The Field, Sophie C. Williams
The Geographical Bulletin
Arrival on South Water Caye. The words “beautiful tropical paradise” describe it perfectly. I believe its geography suits my project well. Seagrass covers the west facing shore of the island. Facing east, the water is shallow on the northern edge and becomes much deeper as the shoreline progresses south. Patch reef flats fill this area and become larger and deeper further out to sea. The island’s southernmost point is best for this study. Here, shallow offshore seagrass is gradually populated by patch reefs, and there is low variation in depth. T he island’s terrestrial surface is covered with Coconut palm …
Learning Regional Geography Behind The Iron Curtain, Jeffrey D. Hamerlinck
Learning Regional Geography Behind The Iron Curtain, Jeffrey D. Hamerlinck
The Geographical Bulletin
This essay recounts the author’s 1987 Cold War-era adventure in the Soviet Union as a young geography student participating in Dr. William Dando’s instructor-led Soviet regional geography course at the University of North Dakota. Focused on historical military geography, the trip included visits to Moscow and Leningrad as well as the port of Murmansk above the Arctic Circle on the Kola Peninsula. The trip’s influence on the author’s career as well as his own field course teaching are discussed.
Reminiscences Of Papua New Guinea, Russell Blong
Reminiscences Of Papua New Guinea, Russell Blong
The Geographical Bulletin
Editor’s Note: While Dr. Blong’s previous article in this special issue outlines his more scholarly pursuits while in Papua New Guinea alongside a few very short anecdotal “field tales”, one of the items reviewers suggested was more depth and detail of those “field tales” he briefly touches on throughout the essay. Rather than tack-on these short happenings to the main article, and to address the reviewers’ desires, I asked Russell to compile a set of less academic field tales. The result is below, based on his many visits to PNG from 1970s-2000s, some of which he shared with Colin Pain …
Living In Grass Houses – Fieldwork In Papua New Guinea, Colin Pain
Living In Grass Houses – Fieldwork In Papua New Guinea, Colin Pain
The Geographical Bulletin
I was raised on a farm so at an early age I was tending stock, building fences, and all the other things involved in running a farm. There is nothing like digging post holes along a new fence line to get you interested in soils. I was thus in the field long before I learnt about geography. Fieldwork is important for geographers for at least two reasons. First, it provides the basic spatial data for testing hypotheses, and is the basis for many of the data manipulations now allowed by remote sensing and geographic information systems. Second, at least in …
Great Smoky Geography, Ryan P. Shadbolt
Great Smoky Geography, Ryan P. Shadbolt
The Geographical Bulletin
In 2005 my life changed unexpectedly during a field experience to Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP). Professor Jay R. Harman, a faculty member within the Department of Geography at Michigan State University, organized the experience frequently over a career spanning more than four decades. As an introverted first-generation college student from a rural blue-collar town, attending this trip was out of my comfort zone. I recently completed a bachelor’s program in meteorology and research during my master’s program focused on synoptic-scale climatology. Until then my travel to na
“It’S Volcanic Ash!” A Response That Began A 50-Year Odyssey, Russell Blong
“It’S Volcanic Ash!” A Response That Began A 50-Year Odyssey, Russell Blong
The Geographical Bulletin
At the beginning of 1970 I had more or less finished my University of Sydney PhD on hillslope form and landslides in a chunk of New Zealand hill country. I was unsure what I wanted to work on next but I was pretty sure it wasn’t landslides and hillslopes. I joined the academic staff at Macquarie University, also in Sydney. In August 1970 I went to an ANZAAS conference in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, gave an excruciatingly boring paper on hillslope form and caught up with Colin Pain, an old mate from my undergraduate days at the University of …
Treating Invasive Tamarisk As An Intern At San Andres National Wildlife Refuge, Aaron Adams
Treating Invasive Tamarisk As An Intern At San Andres National Wildlife Refuge, Aaron Adams
The Geographical Bulletin
Tamarisk (also known as salt cedar) is mentioned once in the Quran, “There was for [the tribe of] Saba’ in their dwelling place a sign: two [fields of] gardens on the right and on the left. [They were told], “Eat from the provisions of your Lord and be grateful to Him. A good land [have you], and a forgiving Lord. “But they turned away [refusing], so We sent upon them the flood of the dam, and We replaced their two [fields of] gardens with gardens of bitter fruit, tamarisks and something of sparse lote trees. (Surah 34, Āyah 15,16)” (The …
Roots Of A Career: Finding Direction In The Mangrove Swamps Of Campeche, Mexico, Jordan R. Cissell
Roots Of A Career: Finding Direction In The Mangrove Swamps Of Campeche, Mexico, Jordan R. Cissell
The Geographical Bulletin
As a human-environment geographer, it is both my vocation and my privilege to explore the alchemical interactions of people and place. Every time I return to the field, I am inspired by the limitless ways in which the two come together to form landscapes of both professional and personal stimulation. T hrough geographical fieldwork, I have had the fortune to rank Alan Jackson songs with a Maya craftsman in the shadow of Volcán de Agua in Antigua Guatemala; leap into the turquoise waters of the Belize Barrier Reef with veteran conch fishermen to escape a swarm of Africanized bees; and …
The Forest And I: A Study In Surprise, Tyra A. Olstad
The Forest And I: A Study In Surprise, Tyra A. Olstad
The Geographical Bulletin
Although geographers are usually taught to plan and conduct research carefully and systematically in order to achieve meaningful, legitimate results, fieldwork often opens up unanticipated and insightful experiences. Sometimes, the most meaningful findings are those that are wholly unplanned for and only achievable by letting go of expectations and soaking in a place firsthand. This essay discusses the author’s evolution as a scholar, involving a series of place-based revelations leading from the open, arid plains and prairies of northeastern Arizona to the cold, rainy, wholly surprising temperate rainforest of southeast Alaska. In so doing, it is not a model blueprint …

The Fieldwork Of Shared Experiences, Kenzie Shandonay, Heather L. Moll, M. Colin Marvin, Norma LóPez-CastañEda, Madeline Kelley, Zach Hilgendorf, Ryan Heintzman, Ronald I. Dorn
The Geographical Bulletin
One undergraduate, six Ph.D. students, and one old crusty “desert rat” of a professor share their perspectives on fieldwork. Fieldwork changed our professional lives dramatically for the better – a message that can never be emphasized enough to future students.
Realizing Where I Should Be: Notes On Reflexivity And Positionality In Fieldwork, Dylan M. Harris
Realizing Where I Should Be: Notes On Reflexivity And Positionality In Fieldwork, Dylan M. Harris
The Geographical Bulletin
An awareness of positionality, an attention to accountability, and a commitment to reflexivity are increasingly key elements to conducting geographical fieldwork. As such, the ‘field’ is not only a place where we go to conduct research. The ‘field’ is a place where people live, where histories are present, and where our actions are never objective. This short article discusses my experiences as an early career researcher as I came to terms with these realities during preliminary dissertation research in Nepal. As a result of several formative moments – including surviving a landslide – I slowly began to realize that issues …
Fieldwork In Oil And Gas Development Communities: Experiences Of A Research From The Global South, Avantika Ramekar
Fieldwork In Oil And Gas Development Communities: Experiences Of A Research From The Global South, Avantika Ramekar
The Geographical Bulletin
Fieldwork in communities affected by resource extraction is tricky and involves complex interactions between institutional networks, community histories, location of the resource, and researcher positionality (Jenkins et al. 2015). My research assessed risk perceptions regarding oil and gas development using Hydraulic Fracturing and Directional Drilling (HFDD), and factors contributing to levels of perceived risk. I employed an explanatory sequential mixed methods design (Wetherholt 2016) that used a combination of procedures. Mixed method research is a common approach to understanding the perspectives of those living in environments of change. In this case, a mailed questionnaire (focused on gathering quantitative data, with …
Becoming An Ally And Understanding The Geographies Of Gender Identity: Lessons From Fieldwork, Shamayeta Bhattacharya
Becoming An Ally And Understanding The Geographies Of Gender Identity: Lessons From Fieldwork, Shamayeta Bhattacharya
The Geographical Bulletin
My “field”, Kolkata, India inspired my “work”, i.e., my research work. Before coming to the United States in 2017 for graduate school, I was associated with several queer organizations in Kolkata (also my hometown) and developed friendships and association which was the major motivation for my dissertation “SHAKTHI: Studying Healthcare Accessibility among Kothi, Transgender, and Hijra Individuals.” The word, SHAKTHI, in Sanskrit means “power” or “empowerment”. My dissertation is by and for transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people, with a goal to empower them. It is theoretically grounded in transgender geography, health geography, and geospatial analysis. During my dissertation coursework, …
Foundational Moments In Geographers’ Lives: Tales From The Field, Casey D. Allen
Foundational Moments In Geographers’ Lives: Tales From The Field, Casey D. Allen
The Geographical Bulletin
Talking with colleagues and students, one of two responses (sometimes both) usually crop-up when answering the question, “Why did you choose geography”? One is the discipline’s broadness: geography encompasses both social and natural sciences as well as the humanities.
A Narrow Escape From The Tajik Pamir, Stephen F. Cunha
A Narrow Escape From The Tajik Pamir, Stephen F. Cunha
The Geographical Bulletin
This essay documents surviving attempted murder and gunshot wounds incurred during 1992 geographical f ieldwork in the Pamir Mountains of Tajikistan. Our project goal was to assess the potential for a Pamir National Park in this Central Asian terra incognita where the southernmost Soviet Union met the unruly frontier with Afghanistan and China. Our personnel included geographers and government officials from the Soviet Academy of Sciences, Tajik Academy of Sciences, Goscomproda (Tajik Ministry of Environment), and the NGO Tajik Socio-Ecological Union. The initial 1991 field season involved living in Moscow through the coup attempt that ultimately disbanded the Soviet Union. …
Debunking Muslim Stereotypes: Learning Religious Tolerance And Acceptance Through Geographic Fieldwork, Elizabeth Nelson
Debunking Muslim Stereotypes: Learning Religious Tolerance And Acceptance Through Geographic Fieldwork, Elizabeth Nelson
The Geographical Bulletin
According to the SAGE Handbook of Fieldwork, “fieldwork” refers to primary research that occurs “in the field,” the “field” being a setting that is outside the controlled settings of the library or laboratory (McCall 2006, 2). As a human geographer, my fieldwork involves participant-observation within the ethnographic tradition that requires the insertion of me (the researcher) into the subject matter of my work – the lives and experiences of Algerian immigrants and their descendants living in Paris, France. As a Western scholar doing research on a postcolonial population embedded within their former colonizer’s social systems, it is important for me …
Assessment Of Georgia’S Royal Catchfly (Silene Regia) Along A Forest-Edge Gradient In A Remnant Prairie Community, Megan Brooks
Assessment Of Georgia’S Royal Catchfly (Silene Regia) Along A Forest-Edge Gradient In A Remnant Prairie Community, Megan Brooks
Master's Theses
Royal catchfly (Silene regia) is a perennial prairie forb known to grow in rocky, alkaline soils within tallgrass prairies of the eastern United States. S. regia is recorded from twelve states, including Georgia, and is now confined to fragmented habitats due to the loss of 95% of its natural environment. The species is now listed as critically imperiled in the state of Georgia. Attempts at reintroduction via outplanting have only shown limited success, necessitating more research on the environmental conditions in which this plant survives in its southern-most distribution. This study investigated the local ecological factors influencing the …

Humanizing History: Empowering Educators To Navigate Difficult History Through Museum-Led Professional Development, Andrea Miskewicz
Dissertations
As museums increasingly serve as educational hubs, this research examines how teachers' participation in such programs contributes to their perceived efficacy for teaching topics of difficult history. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study utilizes a survey with quantitative and qualitative measures to evaluate changes in teacher self-efficacy before and after a museum-led intervention. With a pre and posttest design, this study provides deeper insights into participants' experiences and challenges. Preliminary findings suggest museum-led professional development has a significant positive impact on teachers’ perceived self-efficacy, highlighting the resources and opportunities museums have available and the importance of humanizing history in social …
It's Not Just What You Say: The Impact Of Message Tone On Intra-Party Endorsements, Tom Vizcarrondo, Milad Minooie
It's Not Just What You Say: The Impact Of Message Tone On Intra-Party Endorsements, Tom Vizcarrondo, Milad Minooie
Faculty Articles
This study expands previous research on political endorsements by focusing on the tone of the endorsement, rather than the endorser or the presence/absence of any endorsement at all. Using a 2×2 experimental design and a sample of 906 registered voters from a midwestern U.S. state, this study measures the effect of positive and negative endorsements on the voter perceptions of the endorsee, endorser, and unendorsed candidate during a partisan primary election campaign. Results support the idea that positive endorsements generally improve voters’ attitudes toward the endorsee and the endorser and negative endorsements generally hurt voters’ perception of the unendorsed candidate. …

Lemons To Lemonade: Educational Modifications During The Covid-19 Pandemic And Their Utility Moving Forward, Ellis S. Logan, Brandon Atkins, Anne M. Price
The Journal of Public and Professional Sociology
The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated changes across social institutions, including education. This case study outlines specific innovations using five cases of pedagogical developments made by social science faculty members at a public university, and their utility for undergraduate students in a post-pandemic world. These innovations relate specifically to office hour scheduling, class assignment reminders, building informal class support groups, experiential learning, and virtual paper submission and evaluation. For each case, we outline the implementation procedure, evaluate its effectiveness, and discuss the benefits. We argue that these methods, forged during “challenging times”, will help improve students’ experiences and success during their time …
Ai As A Teacher’S Aide, Kathryn Schuetze
Ai As A Teacher’S Aide, Kathryn Schuetze
Symposium of Student Scholars
This presentation examines current AI tools and solutions, establishing that AI is capable of simplifying a teacher’s workload through tasks such as summarizing lesson content, identifying trends in student feedback and quiz results, and research. The “best” AI model varied by task– Claude being preferred for summarizing from PDFs and websites, while Google’s Gemini was preferred for more general use questions and information, such as generating project ideas.
Spatial Associations Of Lung Cancer Rates And Socioeconomic, Health, And Environmental Factors In Georgia, Nguyet Le, Jun Tu
Spatial Associations Of Lung Cancer Rates And Socioeconomic, Health, And Environmental Factors In Georgia, Nguyet Le, Jun Tu
Symposium of Student Scholars
According to CDC, Lung and Bronchus Cancer ranks the highest by the rate of cancer deaths among different types of cancers in the United States with the rate of 31.8 per 100 thousand people, and also for Georgia with the rate of 33.4 per 100 thousand people. Thus, to reduce the death rate of lung cancer, it is quite important and urgent to understand its risk factors. Smoking and inhaling radon are among the top risk factors of lung cancer for individuals. The socioeconomic, health, and environmental characteristics of communities might be also related to the likelihood of getting …
Analyzing Artwork Along The Atlanta Beltline, Cameron Platto
Analyzing Artwork Along The Atlanta Beltline, Cameron Platto
Symposium of Student Scholars
The Atlanta Beltline is an evolving project that has blossomed in Atlanta, and not only serves as a source of recreation but also to connect different surrounding communities. More specifically, the vast amount of artwork along the Atlanta Beltline is a clear representation of how welcoming and supportive of others the communities are. This research recorded every piece of artwork along the Atlanta Beltline on the Eastside segment. A photograph was taken for each piece of artwork along. It was followed by recording various attributes of each piece of artwork, such as date, time, location, direction, and whether the artwork …
Generating Channel Morphology Data Through Arcgis Pro, Ethan Manigbas
Generating Channel Morphology Data Through Arcgis Pro, Ethan Manigbas
Symposium of Student Scholars
River cross-sections are often extracted using field surveys at measured intervals. This field-oriented approach allows for a tangible relationship between the data and its collector but at the expense of finance, time, labor, and potentially the environment. With the advancement of geospatial tools, such data can be found online, extracted, and even analyzed with contemporary Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in a completely virtual setting, transcending the need for fieldwork in select project topics. We tested this approach with the help of ArcGIS Pro software on the Vishnu Springs headwater stream located in the Western Illinois region of the Upper Mississippi …

The Value Of Mentorship For Black Ballerinas, Anna Dunn
Dissertations
Much research has been done in other fields about the relationship of gender and race to the success of mentors to increase student confidence to pursue additional training or a career in certain fields. The purpose of this study was to articulate formally the importance of the relationship between Black ballet students and a mentor who has lived a similar life experience, having navigated the ballet industry as a Black ballerina. This research sought to answer the questions of what value do Black ballet students perceive in having a Black ballerina as a mentor and how white ballet teachers can …
Promoting Civic Engagement And Knowledge Amongst Middle School Adolescents Through Simulation Based Teaching Models, Karrie Palmer
Promoting Civic Engagement And Knowledge Amongst Middle School Adolescents Through Simulation Based Teaching Models, Karrie Palmer
Dissertations
Public schools, and education in general, were founded on the principles of preparing young people to participate in civic life as active and informed citizens. Yet, civic competency scores are consistently low and demonstrate that students are not prepared for the civic engagement required of them when they leave school. The purpose of this quasi-experimental mixed methods study is to determine if participation in simulations and utilizing experiential learning theory while teaching the government standards will lead to a greater understanding of civics, and a positive improvement in students’ beliefs and values regarding civic engagement beyond the classroom. While the …
