Leveraging The Power Of Place In Citizen Science For Effective Conservation Decision Making, G. Newman, M. Chandler, M. Clyde, B. Mcgreavy, M. Haklay, H. Ballard, S. Gray, R. Scarpino, R. Hauptfeld, D. Mellor, J. Gallo
Leveraging The Power Of Place In Citizen Science For Effective Conservation Decision Making, G. Newman, M. Chandler, M. Clyde, B. Mcgreavy, M. Haklay, H. Ballard, S. Gray, R. Scarpino, R. Hauptfeld, D. Mellor, J. Gallo
New Hampshire EPSCoR
Many citizen science projects are place-based - built on in-person participation and motivated by local conservation. When done thoughtfully, this approach to citizen science can transform humans and their environment. Despite such possibilities, many projects struggle to meet decision-maker needs, generate useful data to inform decisions, and improve social-ecological resilience. Here, we define leveraging the ‘power of place’ in citizen science, and posit that doing this improves conservation decision making, increases participation, and improves community resilience. First, we explore ‘place’ and identify five place dimensions: social-ecological, narrative and name-based, knowledge-based, emotional and affective, and performative. We then thematically analyze 134 …
Student Commuters: Unpacking The Factors That Influence How High School Students Travel To School, Alexander Chase
Student Commuters: Unpacking The Factors That Influence How High School Students Travel To School, Alexander Chase
Inquiry Journal 2017
As environmental concerns grow, obesity rates rise, and people become distanced from nature, some activists and public health advocates are encouraging the use of more physical modes of transportation over driving. The limited literature on commuters’ transit decisions mainly focuses on adults living in urbanized environments while paying scant attention to driving-aged teenagers, despite the importance of their daily commute to school. Because this group is at a pivotal point in the transition to adulthood, it is likely that their decisions and behavior at this stage of life will have long-term implications for their routines concerning exercise, diet, health, transportation, …
Exploring The Diversity Of Tropical Pumpkin In Costa Rica, Lizzie Gill
Exploring The Diversity Of Tropical Pumpkin In Costa Rica, Lizzie Gill
Inquiry Journal 2017
A decrease in crop biodiversity within the commercial agricultural sector has prompted plant breeders to explore and utilize wild varieties from each crop’s region of origin to provide enhanced resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. This study explores the diversity of the economically significant tropical pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) present in Costa Rica. Through a nine-week independently designed International Research Opportunities Program (IROP) research grant, I traveled to geographically different cities and farmers’ markets around Costa Rica and communicated with local farmers to collect diverse tropical pumpkin samples. I spent the weekdays with Costa Rican professors at the University of Costa …

Preference Organization, Danielle M. Pillet-Shore
Preference Organization, Danielle M. Pillet-Shore
Communication
Conversation analytic research on “preference organization” investigates recorded episodes of naturally occurring social interaction to elucidate how people systematically design their actions to either support or undermine social solidarity. This line of work examines public forms of conduct that are highly generalized and institutionalized, not the private desires, subjective feelings or psychological preferences of individuals. This article provides a detailed and accessible overview of classic and contemporary conversation analytic findings about preference, which collectively demonstrate that human interaction is organized to favor actions that promote social affiliation (through face-preservation) at the expense of conflict (resulting from face-threat). While other overviews …

Involuntary Part-Time Employment: A Slow And Uneven Economic Recovery, Rebecca K. Glauber
Involuntary Part-Time Employment: A Slow And Uneven Economic Recovery, Rebecca K. Glauber
Carsey Publications
In this brief, author Rebecca Glauber reports that, although unemployment overall has returned to its pre-recession level, involuntary part-time employment is still much higher than it was before the Great Recession began--a trend that raises questions about the continuing ability of the economy to deliver employment security to people willing and able to work. Involuntary part-time employment is down 34 percent since the Great Recession but is still above its pre-recession level. If the involuntary part-time employment rate continues this pace of decline, it will not return to its pre-recession level until 2018, a full nine years after the official …

The Zika Virus Threat: How Concerns About Scientists May Undermine Efforts To Combat The Pandemic, Thomas G. Safford, Lawrence C. Hamilton, Emily Whitmore
Carsey Publications
Using data from the University of New Hampshire’s October 2016 Granite State Poll, authors Thomas Safford, Lawrence Hamilton, and Emily Whitmore investigate how New Hampshire residents view the Zika crisis. They report that most New Hampshire residents believe Zika is only a minor threat to public health in the United States, and they generally trust the CDC as a source of information about the virus. The data also show that, while there is doubt about the government’s ability to control the spread of the virus, the public feels that emergency federal funding to combat Zika should be a priority. They …

Information Literacy Instruction In An English Capstone Course: A Study Of Student Confidence, Perception, And Practice, Susanne F. Paterson, Carolyn White Gamtso
Information Literacy Instruction In An English Capstone Course: A Study Of Student Confidence, Perception, And Practice, Susanne F. Paterson, Carolyn White Gamtso
Library Community Scholarship
An English professor and an instruction librarian at the University of New Hampshire at Manchester felt that the college's new English Capstone course for majors provided a unique opportunity to assess the information literacy skill levels of graduating English majors. They therefore engaged in a three-year study to evaluate the IL competency of these students, to gauge their perceptions of library instruction provided during the Capstone course and throughout their academic careers, and to determine students' confidence and self-efficacy with respect to these skills. The researchers sought to determine the ways in which the IL program for English majors effectively …
State Eitc Programs Provide Important Relief To Families In Need, Douglas J. Gagnon, Marybeth J. Mattingly, Andrew P. Schaefer
State Eitc Programs Provide Important Relief To Families In Need, Douglas J. Gagnon, Marybeth J. Mattingly, Andrew P. Schaefer
Carsey Publications
In this brief, authors Douglas Gagnon, Marybeth Mattingly, and Andrew Schaefer discuss the estimated effects of state Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) benefits on rates of poverty in 2010–2014 using the Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement. They report that, on average, individuals in states with refundable state EITCs receive a 17.6 percent match of their federal EITC benefit, and the state supplement pulls an estimated 0.3 percent of these states’ combined populations out of poverty. Children receive the greatest benefit, as state EITCs reduce child poverty by 0.7 percentage point overall. Even those who remain poor after …

Public Support For Environmental Protection, Lawrence C. Hamilton
Public Support For Environmental Protection, Lawrence C. Hamilton
Carsey Publications
In this fact sheet, author Lawrence Hamilton discusses the results of a New Hampshire poll conducted January 31 to February 8, 2017, that asked residents whether they think environmental protection rules should be reduced, strengthened, or left as they are. He reports that, although President Trump and some Congressional supporters have proposed broad reductions in environmental protection, the New Hampshire survey--which has a record of mirroring national surveys on environmental issues--finds little support for such steps. Almost three-quarters think instead that environmental protection rules should be left as they are or strengthened. Large majorities in every category of age, education, …

A Profile Of Youth Poverty And Opportunity In Southwestern Minnesota, Marybeth J. Mattingly, Andrew P. Schaefer, Douglas J. Gagnon
A Profile Of Youth Poverty And Opportunity In Southwestern Minnesota, Marybeth J. Mattingly, Andrew P. Schaefer, Douglas J. Gagnon
Carsey Publications
In this brief, authors Marybeth Mattingly, Andrew Schaefer, and Douglas Gagnon explore challenges and opportunities for youth in Southwestern (SW) Minnesota. They analyze data on various demographic, economic, educational, and social indicators to gain a better understanding of the circumstances youth face and the opportunity available in SW Minnesota. They report that more than 1 in 6, or roughly 11,000 children in SW Minnesota are poor and that, as in the United States as a whole, the income gap between high- and low-income families has grown in SW Minnesota over the past 15 years. The authors compare important indicators of …
On Renewable Energy And Climate, Trump Voters Stand Apart, Lawrence C. Hamilton
On Renewable Energy And Climate, Trump Voters Stand Apart, Lawrence C. Hamilton
Carsey Publications
In this brief, author Larry Hamilton discusses the results of pre- and post-election Polar, Environment, and Science surveys carried out by Carsey School researchers in August and November–December 2016, asking people about their general views on climate change and renewable energy. Almost three-fourths of Americans surveyed said that renewable energy should be a higher national priority than more drilling for oil. About two-thirds agree with the scientific consensus that humans are changing Earth’s climate. Priority for renewable energy development and recognition of human-caused climate change are majority opinions within every voter group except Trump supporters. On renewable energy, the reality …

Liberty And Community In Marriage: Expanding On Massey’S Proposal For A Community Property Option In New Hampshire, Jo Carrillo
Liberty And Community In Marriage: Expanding On Massey’S Proposal For A Community Property Option In New Hampshire, Jo Carrillo
The University of New Hampshire Law Review
This article argues that intimate partners should have the right to adopt a sharing economy within marriage. Forty-one U.S. states employ a separate property regime for property acquired during marriage; of these, only two allow married couples to opt out of the separate property system and hold their assets as community property. Nine U.S. states are community property states. To encourage equal partnership in marriage, Calvin Massey proposed that New Hampshire, a separate property state, enable a community property option. This essay expands on Massey’s proposal by comparing it to three other marriage reform proposals: two based on privatization, and …

Drugs, Alcohol, And Suicide Represent Growing Share Of U.S. Mortality, Shannon M. Monnat
Drugs, Alcohol, And Suicide Represent Growing Share Of U.S. Mortality, Shannon M. Monnat
Carsey Publications
In this brief, author Shannon Monnat identifies trends in mortality rates from drugs, alcohol, and suicide by race and sex for adults aged 25 to 54, from the years 2000 to 2014. She reports that—nationwide--the mortality rate from deaths involving drugs, alcohol, and suicide rose 52 percent from 2000 to 2014. Drug, alcohol, and suicide mortality rates are highest among middle-aged non-Hispanic white males and are growing fastest among non-Hispanic white females. Nearly half of all young white male deaths are caused by drugs, alcohol, or suicide. A little over a quarter of young Hispanic male deaths and 13 percent …
The Evolution Of Experiential Learning: Tracing Lines Of Research In The Jee, Jayson O. Seaman, Mike Brown, John Quay
The Evolution Of Experiential Learning: Tracing Lines Of Research In The Jee, Jayson O. Seaman, Mike Brown, John Quay
Kinesiology
This essay introduces a collection of past articles from the Journal of Experiential Education (JEE) focused on the concept of experiential learning. It outlines the historical trajectory of the concept beginning with human relations training practices beginning in 1946, as it came to be understood as a naturally occurring psychological process and a grounding for pedagogical reforms. The eight articles included in the issue reflect the way JEE authors have contended with problems arising from the concept’s departure from its origins in practice. We suggest that experiential learning’s evolution into a general theory was accomplished by decoupling it from its …
