The Court Of Private Land Claims And The Petaca Grant: Case Study Summary, Marcos A. Roybal Feb 2012

The Court Of Private Land Claims And The Petaca Grant: Case Study Summary, Marcos A. Roybal

The Rio Chama Basin: Land, Water and Community

The Petaca land grant of Rio Arriba County in many ways typifies the patterns of settlement, adjudication, and contemporary issues that characterize New Mexicos land grants. Though it was originally established as a community land grant for agricultural purposes, Petaca's natural resource-rich lands quickly garnered the attention of speculators and investors when New Mexico was acquired by the United States in 1848. This, coupled with national manifest destiny aspirations, resulted in over a quarter century of legal battles and the ultimate dispossession of tens of thousands of acres of common lands. This case study is a synopsis of the history …


Health Promotion And The Rural Older Adult, Gloria Ann Browning Feb 2012

Health Promotion And The Rural Older Adult, Gloria Ann Browning

Nursing ETDs

Older adults continue to live longer, and their desire is to not only live longer but to remain as independent as possible. Therefore, older adults strive to live more productive lives, not to just continue to exist. By living a healthy life, older adults are empowered to take control, not only of their health but of other important life decisions. The purpose of this study was to explore and describe rural older adults behaviors toward healthy lifestyles. The theoretical framework for the study was Pender's health promotion model, which addressed factors that enhance health-promoting behavior, leading to improved health and …


Bio+Terror: Science, Security, Simulation, Melanie Armstrong Feb 2012

Bio+Terror: Science, Security, Simulation, Melanie Armstrong

American Studies ETDs

The United States government has spent more than $125 billion since 2001 to prepare the nation for bioterrorism. This dissertation examines the emergence of bioterrorism as a credible threat in the contemporary moment, considering how the preparedness practices of the security state constitute new biopolitical formations. To explore how changing ways of knowing disease and risk are reshaping communities, this multi-sited study investigates the material outcomes of biosecurity in people's lives. It shows how complex histories of disease and terror are remade in the modern age to bring about new spaces and forms of biological citizenship.Through interview, observation and detailed …


Panhe At The Crossroads: Toward An Indigenized Environmental Justice Theory, Dina Gilio-Whitaker Feb 2012

Panhe At The Crossroads: Toward An Indigenized Environmental Justice Theory, Dina Gilio-Whitaker

American Studies ETDs

Through a case study of the protection of a Native American sacred site from the development of a road through it in southern California, this study argues that environmental justice (EJ) for Native peoples encompasses far more than the protection of marginalized people from disproportionate rates of detrimental health effects of industry. Mainstream environmental justice discourse is troubled when it centers indigenous peoples' histories, differentiated political status, and epistemologies in EJ analytical frameworks. Viewing EJ through the lens of settler colonialism allows for an analysis that broadens the scope of what environmental justice means for indigenous peoples by examining the …


Colonizing Chaco Canyon: Mapping Antiquity In The Territorial Southwest, Berenika Byszewski Jan 2012

Colonizing Chaco Canyon: Mapping Antiquity In The Territorial Southwest, Berenika Byszewski

American Studies ETDs

The 1849 Navajo Expedition was the first official US military mapping of Navajoland after the Mexican Cession, and has been recognized by historians as the first sustained window into the region and its people. Lieutenant James H. Simpson of the US Topographical Corps of Engineers was ordered to accompany the punitive expedition to document the route. Captivated by the stone ruins of Chaco Canyon, Simpson made a side excursion to record and map the structures, and contributed to the way Chaco is interpreted and imagined to this day. In this paper, I follow Lieutenant Simpson's survey party, tracing their "discovery" …

The Unconstitutionality Of Urban Poverty, Dawinder S. Sidhu Jan 2012

The Unconstitutionality Of Urban Poverty, Dawinder S. Sidhu

Faculty Scholarship

This Article argues that the Thirteenth Amendment is a proper federal vehicle for correcting the conditions of the urban underclass. The Amendment, I posit, contemplates federal intervention in the state and local governments' handling of its most troubled areas. Such federal involvement is appropriate because those responsible for these physical areas have not ensured that their residents have the necessary predicates for full and independent participation in society. The Thirteenth Amendment, in other words, supports the federal government's establishment of a minimum floor of economic and educational conditions such that the urban underclass may possess meaningful horizontal and vertical liberty, …

Using An Established Telehealth Model To Train Urban Primary Care Providers On Hypertension Management, Christopher Masi, Tamara Hamlish, Andrew Davis, Kristine Bordenave, Stephen Brown, Brenda Perea, Glen Aduana, Marcus Wolfe, George Bakris, Daniel Johnson

Project ECHO Bibliography

The objective of this study was to determine whether a videoconference-based telehealth network can increase hypertension management knowledge and self-assessed competency among primary care providers (PCPs) working in urban Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). We created a telehealth network among 6 urban FQHCs and our institution to support a 12-session educational program designed to teach state-of-the-art hypertension management. Each 1-hour session included a brief lecture by a university-based hypertension specialist, case presentations by PCPs, and interactive discussions among the specialist and PCPs. Twelve PCPs (9 intervention and 3 controls) were surveyed at baseline and immediately following the curriculum. The mean …

Lines Of Tribe, Christine Zuni Cruz Jan 2012

Lines Of Tribe, Christine Zuni Cruz

Faculty Scholarship

It is important to begin by explaining why I take the title of my essay from the statement in President Barack Obama's 2009 Inaugural Address: "the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve." During the address, his words affected me and they remained with me long afterward. President Obama may very well have meant what he said in a metaphoric or figurative sense; I have certainly been provided with many interpretations and assurances by most that a literal meaning was not his intent and that he instead spoke in a good way of the beneficial melting of divisions between us." It …


Recommendations For Process Improvement/Cost Containment Strategies For Fy13 And Beyond, President's Strategic Advisory Team Dec 2011

Recommendations For Process Improvement/Cost Containment Strategies For Fy13 And Beyond, President's Strategic Advisory Team

President Schmidly's Administration

The Presidents Strategic Advisory Team (PSAT) was initially established by President David Schmidly in February of 2010. At the time, the University of New Mexico was in the midst of a funding crisis driven by the economic meltdown that had begun in late 2008. UNM had already endured several rescissions and reductions of state funding, and was bracing for the next wave of cuts. PSAT's charge was as follows: To design and evaluate possible scenario models for cost containment, process improvement, and an evolved organizational structure for UNM that will accomplish the following: Provide the greatest levels of efficiency, communications, …


Colonia Population And Housing Estimation [Dataset], Daren Ruiz Dec 2011

Colonia Population And Housing Estimation [Dataset], Daren Ruiz

BBER Publications

Colonias are small, under-represented communities often characterized by poor socioeconomic conditions. There are 142 HUD-designated colonias in southern New Mexico. There is a great need for information on colonias: government agencies and community planners want to improve infrastructure and allocate resources to serve colonia populations. As part of the effort to compile information about colonias, the UNM Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER) developed a technique for tabulating U.S. Census Bureau data for colonia geography. This article explains the technique, demonstrated by an estimated population and household count for the Rancho Grande colonia in Catron County. Location coordinates for …

Tragicidade - A Violenta Relação Entre As Diferentes Classes Sociais Nos Centros Urbanos Brasileiros E Sua Representação Na Literatura Contemporânea, Daniela Meireles

Research Papers

O presente ensaio irá examinar a representaçäo da violência e segregaçäo urbana nos contos Solar dos Princípes' e 'Esquece' da coletânea Contos Negreiros (2005) e 'Angu de Sangue' e 'J.C.J.' da coletânea Angu de Sangue (2000) de Marcelino Freire. A análise será feita em busca de respostas para as seguintes perguntas: frente a exclusäo social e consequente negaçäo a plena cidadania, como se comportam os personagens dos contos analisados? O que esse comportamento revela sobre a vida em sociedade nos centros urbanos? O que os contos comentam sobre a cidadania?'

Research Papers

El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar las relaciones que se dieron en el desarrollo de la producción teatral y las herramientas con las que contó el Estado Argentino para el fortalecimiento de una identidad nacional durante el Proceso de Reorganización Nacional' (1976-83). \xbfCómo operó el Estado en relación a las artes y cómo éstas respondieron? Concientes del papel que juega la cultura en el desarrollo de la identidad colectiva, intentaremos observar la acción y omisión que el Estado impuso en una de las disciplinas más significativas y quizás menos exploradas: el teatro.'


Inquisitive Objects: Material Culture And Conversos In Early Modern Ciudad Real, Jessica Weiss Nov 2011

Inquisitive Objects: Material Culture And Conversos In Early Modern Ciudad Real, Jessica Weiss

Research Papers

Between 1483 and 1526, one-hundred and twenty-four trials were conducted by the Spanish Inquisition against conversos in Ciudad Real. The notarial records from these trials contain a multitude of references to material culture, including sculpted artworks, candles, and effigies. This essay analyzes the references to materiality utilized in arraignments, witness testimonies, and verdicts, and then correlates them to broader constructions of cultural identity. These references reveal a pre-modern animistic world view in which objects both shape and are shaped by their participation as active agents in religious ritual.

El Pensamiento Intelectual Comunista En Argentina: Una Relectura De Héctor P. Agosti Y Su Introducción Al Pensamiento De Gramsci, Alexia Massholder

Research Papers

Uno de los efectos de la llamada Guerra Fría' iniciada a mediados de la década de 1940, fue el recrudecimiento de las posiciones soviéticas y norteamericanas en todos los frentes. La contienda en el plano ideológico cobró un carácter central y explícito, ejerciendo una fuerte influencia en quienes apoyaban a ambos contendientes. En ese contexto, el informe de Andrei Zhdanov sobre arte y literatura ante el Partido Comunista de la Unión Soviética resonó en los partidos comunistas que, lógicamente, se alineaban con la Unión Soviética. El Partido Comunista de la Argentina (PCA) sintió los efectos de este informe en el …

Expressions Of Another Center: Borderlands Visual Theory & The Art Of Luis Jimenez, Eric Tomás Hernández Castillo Aug 2011

Expressions Of Another Center: Borderlands Visual Theory & The Art Of Luis Jimenez, Eric Tomás Hernández Castillo

American Studies ETDs

An artist who constantly challenged various social and political boundaries, Jimenez and his art contribute to a growing discourse about U.S. sculpture and 21st century American art. By combining various methodologies such as formal analysis, visual analysis, and critical biography, I will underscore the significance of Luis Jimenez's art in 21st century American art. Jimenez's art functions autobiographically particular moment in his life affected his art in many ways. His time in Mexico City, New York, and Rome are a few pivotal moments that shifted the focus of his art and encouraged him to return to the Southwest where his …
