Race, Repair, And Youth Participatory Action Research In One Rural School, Carol Thompson, Felicia Crockett

The Rural Educator

This qualitative study examines the progress of a rural New Jersey school in addressing longstanding racial conflict after implementing a Youth Participatory Action Research project two years prior. Here we take up the thread as students continued to develop activities meant to increase awareness of ongoing issues, and as adults used professional development time to model best practices in managing racialized interactions. Eight teachers and staff not originally involved and nine students who had been directly involved were interviewed and a student focus group conducted. All participants agreed that progress had been made though issues around curriculum and discipline remained. …

Grounded In Relationships Of Support: Indigenous Teacher Mentorship In The Rural West, Vanessa Anthony-Stevens, Iva Moss, Angela Como Jacobson, Rebekka Boysen-Taylor, Shawna Campbell-Daniels

The Rural Educator

This article explores the power of Indigenous teacher mentorship as essential to address “the change in point of view” long called for in Indigenous education. Drawing from a longitudinal, ethnographic study of an Indigenous teacher education program in a predominantly rural, high need region, we examine the basic questions: What do Indigenous master teachers uniquely bring to teacher education? In what ways do Indigenous master teachers support the development of socially, culturally, linguistically, and place-responsive teachers? Using the theoretical frameworks of Tribal Critical Race Theory (TribalCrit) and situated learning, our findings elucidate the importance of Indigenous mentorship for re-membering and …

Moving Into Critical Spaces: Making Meaning Of One Rural Educator’S Experiences Working With Latinx Immigrant Students, Stephanie Oudghiri

The Rural Educator

This research highlights the experiences of one rural educator in a Midwestern elementary school. Initially grounded in Swanson’s middle range theory of caring (1991, 1993), the author sought to make meaning of how the participant worked with immigrant students, specifically undocumented Latinx students, through an ethic of care. As tensions emerged from classroom-based observations and interviews, the author chose to draw upon Critical Race Theory (CRT) as a way of examining how racism operates within educational spaces. Guided by Clandinin and Connelly’s (2000) narrative form, through the description (telling) and reflection (retelling), the author makes meaning of racial biases, microaggressions, …

Adapt And Serve The Community!: Voices Of Families Of Youth Of Color In Predominantly White, Rural Communities, Carie Ruggiano

The Rural Educator

Currently, there is limited research that centers the voices of youth of Color and their families living and attending school in rural communities in the United States. This lack of representation is even more prominent among rural youth who identify in culturally, racially, and linguistically diverse ways and who reside and attend schools in predominantly white contexts. This qualitative case study sought to explore the experiences of parents of children who identify as youth of Color and who reside or attend school in predominantly white, rural settings. Drawing from in-depth interviews with five parents from four families, findings reveal that …

Just Southern: Navigating The Social Construction Of A Rural Community In The Press For Educational Equity, Daniella Sutherland, Erin Mchenry-Sorber, Jacquelyn N. Willingham

The Rural Educator

Rural communities in the Southern US are shaped by a legacy of racial oppression carried out through educational systems, in tandem with contemporary policies that perpetuate the marginalization of minoritized students. In this qualitative, revelatory case study, we examine the experiences of rural, southern school leaders who are tasked with ensuring educational equity. Using critical place-based leadership and bonding/bridging theory, we examine the social construction of belonging in a rural southern community, and the implications for equity-centered educational leadership. We find the community maintains tight-knit bonding capital that is rooted in land ownership and racial exclusion, which is conceptualized as …

“Does It Identify Me?”: The Multiple Identities Of College Students From Rural Areas, Elise J. Cain, Jenay F. E. Willis

The Rural Educator

The understanding of identities is an important component to understanding students and their experiences in educational contexts, especially in postsecondary education. There is limited information about the identities of college students from rural areas because this student population is often neglected as a distinct group in higher education literature. This article details a study utilizing narrative inquiry to explore the identities of three college students who graduated from high schools in rural areas. The findings suggest that these students’ races and ethnicities, genders and biological sexes, and sexual orientations were their salient social identities. Rurality was not a prominent identity, …

Educators’ Perspectives On Factors Impacting Stem Achievement In Rural Indigenous Student- Serving Schools, Annmaria De Mars, Juliana Taken Alive, Maria Burns Ortiz, Zixuan Ma, Minruo Wang

The Rural Educator

This study addressed the question, “What factors do experts perceive as impacting STEM achievement of students in rural schools with predominantly Indigenous students?” A thematic analysis of interviews with 40 educators with a depth of experience identified six major themes: holistic STEM education, inclusion of local culture in STEM education, highly qualified staff, STEM curriculum and instruction, technology, and STEM funding. These themes were interrelated. Holistic education demanded more individualized curriculum and required more highly qualified staff who could adapt the curriculum and integrate technology with traditional knowledge, but these educators were harder to hire and retain due to low …

2018 Rice Insect Losses In The United States, N. R. Bateman, G. M. Lorenz, B. C. Thrash, J. Gore, M. O. Way, B. E. Wilson, L. A. Espino

Midsouth Entomologist

Estimated insect management costs and losses for multiple insect pests of rice during the 2018 growing season were compiled for 5 rice-producing states. Participating states included Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, accounting for approximately 90% of the rice grown in the US. Overall, insects accounted for more than $141 million in costs and losses during 2017, averaging $52.06 per acre. Rice water weevil and rice stink bug caused more yield loss, and cost more to control than all other insect pests across participating states.

2020 Rice Insect Losses In The United States, N. R. Bateman, G. M. Lorenz, B. C. Thrash, J. Gore, M. O. Way, B. E. Wilson, L. A. Espino, M. T. Vanweelden

Midsouth Entomologist

Insects have the potential to reduce quality and yield in rice throughout the US. It is important to document these reductions over time to determine shifts in control costs and pest densities. Estimates of the costs and losses associated with multiple insect pests of rice were compiled for 6 rice-producing states. Participating states included Arkansas, California, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, which account for approximately 90% of the rice grown in the US. Overall, insects accounted for over $340 million in costs and losses during 2020, averaging over $120 per acre. Rice water weevil and rice stink bug accounted for …

A Probabilistic Framework For Behavioral Identification From Animal-Borne Accelerometers, Jane Dentinger, Luca Börger, Mark D. Holton, Ruholla Jafari-Marandi, Durham A. Norman, Brian K. Smith, Seth F. Oppenheimer, Bronson K. Strickland, Rory P. Wilson, Garrett M. Street

CFR Publications

Many studies of animal distributions use habitat and climactic variables to explain patterns of observed space use. However, without behavioral information, we can only speculate as to why and how these characteristics are important to species persistence.

Animal-borne accelerometer and magnetometer data loggers can be used to detect behaviors and when coupled with telemetry improve our understanding of animal space use and habitat requirements. However, these loggers collect tremendous quantities of data requiring automated machine learning techniques to identify patterns in the data. Supervised machine learning requires a set of training signals with known behaviors to train the model to …

Determining Yield Effects Of Simulated Stand Loss In Field Corn (Zea Mays), T. B. Towles, A. L. Catchot, J. Gore, D. R. Cook, M. A. Caprio, C. Daves, W. D. Crow, B. Thrash, B. Thrash, N. R. Bateman

Midsouth Entomologist

The corn borer complex, consisting of Diatraea grandiosella (Dyar), Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), and D. saccharalis (F.), poses a risk to field corn that is not protected through the use of foliar-applied insecticides or Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) proteins incorporated into the plant's genetics. In the southern U.S., corn borers have been adequately controlled through the widespread planting of Bt corn hybrids. Refuge systems have been implemented to prevent the selection of Bt-resistant populations in target species. Historically, structured refuge compliance among corn producers has been low, leading to the commercialization of seed blended refugia in areas of the U.S. where cotton …
