Final Report: Conceptualizing Ethics, Authenticity, And Efficacy Of Simulations In Teacher Education, Carrie Wilkerson Lee, Liza Bondurant, Bima Sapkota, Heather Howell, Yvonne Lai

CoE Publications

This working group was a continuation of working groups in 2019 and 2021 that initially aimed to focus on equity in simulations of practice in mathematics teacher education. We began by discussing our conceptualizations of simulations and equity. Next, we reflected on the lack of work that currently exists at the intersection of simulations and equity as well as our limited collective expertise in this space. We proposed the following areas of potential research: Access, Design, Affective Domains, Teaching Practices, Assessment, Critical Conversations. Attendees self-selected into focus groups and met to discuss their current work and how future work could …

Leaf-Level Physiological Strategies Related To Productivity And Plasticity Of Populus In The Southeastern Us Jan 2023

Leaf-Level Physiological Strategies Related To Productivity And Plasticity Of Populus In The Southeastern Us

FWRC Publications

Populus and its hybrids are attractive bioenergy crops and the southeastern United States has broad ability to supply bioenergy markets with woody biomass. Breeding and hybridization have led to superior eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides W. Bartram ex Marshall) and hybrid poplars adapted to a wide variety of site types not suited for agricultural production. In order to maximize productivity and minimize inputs, genotypes need to efficiently use available site resources and tolerate environmental stresses. In addition, we need to determine plasticity of traits and their coordination across sites to select traits that will broadly characterize genotypes. Therefore, our study …

Black Land: Research Note On The Heirs’ Property To Poverty Pipeline In Louisiana, Lauren Hall, Ifeyinwa F. Davis Jan 2023

Black Land: Research Note On The Heirs’ Property To Poverty Pipeline In Louisiana, Lauren Hall, Ifeyinwa F. Davis

Heirs' Property

Successful heirs’ property reform – the Uniform Partition Heirs’ Property Act (UPHPA) – is widespread in the U.S. Despite these advancements, Louisiana falls behind. Louisiana is the only state in the Deep South that has not enacted legal reform to protect heirs’ property owners. Heirs’ property locks many Black Americans into persistent poverty and economic oppression, eliminating generations of Black American wealth. This research note describes and examines these issues. Articulating the history of systemic legal oppression of Black land ownership, this article demonstrates how the current legal state shuns Black Americans economically and socio-politically disadvantages them and examines how …

How Much Heirs’ Property Is There? Using Lightbox Data To Estimate Heirs’ Property Extent In The U.S., G. Rebecca Dobbs, Cassandra Johnson Gaither Jan 2023

How Much Heirs’ Property Is There? Using Lightbox Data To Estimate Heirs’ Property Extent In The U.S., G. Rebecca Dobbs, Cassandra Johnson Gaither

Heirs' Property

The ramifications of a tenancy in common or heirs’ property ownership are extensive. This kind of tenuous ownership affects not only individual families but also the economic health of the typically minority and lower-wealth communities where these properties tend to cluster. Very little research has identified heirs’ property extent at a broad scale, however. We present results of our approach to identifying heirs’ parcels for every county and census tract in the U.S., using geospatial methodologies and aggregated parcel records acquired from LightBox. The method estimated 444,172 heirs’ parcels for the U.S., not including territories. The combined acreage is 9,247,452 …

Identifying Heirs’ Property: Extent And Value Across The South And Appalachia, Ryan Thomson, Conner Bailey Jan 2023

Identifying Heirs’ Property: Extent And Value Across The South And Appalachia, Ryan Thomson, Conner Bailey

Heirs' Property

A database of property tax records was used to locate and quantify the extent of heirs' property across 11 states (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia). Based on previously published work, an index of four variables was then developed to estimate the likelihood that a given parcel was heirs’ property. The authors conservatively estimate that there are at least 496,994 parcels of heirs’ properties with a combined total area of 5.3 million acres and a market value of $41.9 billion in these states.

Referral Pathways And Service Connections Among Heirs’ Property Owners In South Carolina, Jennie L. Stephens, Jasmine Simington Jan 2023

Referral Pathways And Service Connections Among Heirs’ Property Owners In South Carolina, Jennie L. Stephens, Jasmine Simington

Heirs' Property

Researchers, practitioners, and policymakers interested in alleviating heirs’ property ownership precarity have long sought to connect these owners to titling and land management resources, but there is limited scholarly evidence on successful interventions. Using administrative data from the Center for Heirs’ Property Preservation®(CHPP®), this article explores the demographic characteristics, types of direct legal services received, and referral pathways of landowners seeking legal assistance from CHPP® between 2017 and 2021. We find that applicants are primarily elderly, Black women, referred through four main pathways: (1) owners’ personal networks, (2) CHPP® outreach efforts, (3) CHPP® partner organizations—including public, private, and nonprofit agencies, …

Heirs’ Property: Where, How Much, And Why Does It Matter?, Conner Bailey, G. Rebecca Dobbs, Cassandra Johnson Gaither, Ryan Thomson Jan 2023

Heirs’ Property: Where, How Much, And Why Does It Matter?, Conner Bailey, G. Rebecca Dobbs, Cassandra Johnson Gaither, Ryan Thomson

Heirs' Property

Heirs’ property comes into being when the owner of real property (usually a house and/or land) dies without a will. All heirs (e.g., spouse and children) become owners of an undivided interest in the property, with the division determined by state law. Heirs’ property is significant as a social and historical phenomenon because property has been passed down without wills across multiple generations of Blacks in the South and whites in Appalachia because limited educational opportunities and patterns of exploitation led them to distrust the legal system. Heirs can number in the hundreds, presenting obstacles and vulnerabilities and limiting property …

Issue Brief: Using County Trade Pull Factor Analyses To Measure Retail Growth In The Create Bridges Counties Of North Carolina, Mark Seitz Jan 2023

Issue Brief: Using County Trade Pull Factor Analyses To Measure Retail Growth In The Create Bridges Counties Of North Carolina, Mark Seitz

CREATE BRIDGES

This brief’s focus is on four western North Carolina counties: Macon, Jackson, Swain, and Graham, how county trade pull factors (CTPF) can be used to measure the success that CREATE BRIDGES teams have in their efforts to strengthen rural retail economies. With CTPF based on per capita sales tax revenue, those revenues are often directly associated with the tourism industry. Such tourism industry data from the CREATE BRIDGES counties and the other 17 counties of the West District of North Carolina Cooperative Extension (NC State Extension, Extension Information Technology [Cartographers], 2022) are shown to offer a regional perspective of the …

The Experiences Of Rural School Attorneys: Implications For School Leaders, Daniel A. Decino, Phillip L. Waalkes, Connor Donohoe

The Rural Educator

Rural school leaders encounter an array of complex issues that require legal counsel. Student discipline, contract disputes, employee conduct, special education, and a host of other topics require school boards and superintendents to utilize school attorneys. This descriptive phenomenological study explored the daily experiences of ten school attorneys representing multiple school districts in rural areas. Three salient themes emerged (a) the work of a school attorney, (b) relationships and interactions with school personnel, and (c) insights for others. Themes provide a comprehensive picture regarding school attorneys’ roles, responsibilities, and engagements with school personnel within rural schools. Implications, including the importance …
