Home/Land: Kiowa, New Mexico- A Grassland's Story, Heather R. Yaryan

Architecture and Planning ETDs

The purpose of this thesis was to illustrate how cultural and natural histories inform place-based community planning. Utilizing both cultural and natural histories, the planner may begin to see patterns of habitancy as they correlate to ecological fluctuations. I focused my research on Kiowa, New Mexico the community my family homesteaded in the grasslands of Northeastern New Mexico and took an auto-ethnographic approach to conducting my research. The story of Kiowa is both unique and universal. The intricacies of the land and people are, indeed, woven into a specific place and times. It is the intersection of Place and of …

The Materiality Of The Self: A Multimodal, Communicative Approach To Identity, Sachi Sekimoto May 2011

The Materiality Of The Self: A Multimodal, Communicative Approach To Identity, Sachi Sekimoto

Communication ETDs

The purpose of this dissertation is to propose a multimodal approach as an alternative way of theorizing and researching identity. The multimodal approach utilizes four modes of interaction--multidirectional interpellation, spatiality, temporality, and corporealit--to explore the processes of interaction and engagement between an individual and his/her social worlds. The multimodal approach focuses on the materiality of lived experience and the process of interaction and engagement between an individual and his/her social worlds through which his or her identity materializes. I apply the multimodal approach to analyze two autobiographical texts in which the authors deal with Asian identity in different cultural and …

Impact Of Los Alamos National Laboratory On The Economies Of Northern New Mexico And The State As A Whole, Doleswar Bhandari Mar 2011

Impact Of Los Alamos National Laboratory On The Economies Of Northern New Mexico And The State As A Whole, Doleswar Bhandari

BBER Publications

The UNM Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER) was commissioned by Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) to estimate its economic impacts on northern New Mexico — Los Alamos, Santa Fe, Rio Arriba, Sandoval, Taos, San Miguel, and Mora counties — and for the state, for fiscal year 2009. The study concludes that LANL injected more than $1.4 billion directly into the northern New Mexico economy during FY 2009. These injections provided more than 11,200 direct jobs, nearly $1.1 billion labor income, and $1.4 billion economic output to the region. LANLs expenditures also indirectly supported approximately 9,300 jobs, more than …

Ghostly I(S)/Eyes: The Formation Of Subjectivity In Mexican American Life Narratives, Patricia Marie Perea Feb 2011

Ghostly I(S)/Eyes: The Formation Of Subjectivity In Mexican American Life Narratives, Patricia Marie Perea

American Studies ETDs

Autoethnography is the genre through which many marginalized groups write back to hegemony (Pratt 1992, 7). It is no wonder then that one of the modes in which Mexican Americans choose to express themselves and represent their communities is autoethnography. However, the study of Mexican American autoethnography reveals a more complicated dynamic occurring in its formation. This dynamic goes beyond binary constructions such as periphery (Mexican Americans) versus center (Euroamerican) to illuminate the shifting structure of Mexican American history as well as the shifting structure of Mexican American subjectivity. I argue Mexican American life narratives use autoethnographic methods to inform …

Prehistoric Roads Of New Mexico: A Synthesis Of Gis And Remote Sensing Techniques, Natalie Heberling Feb 2011

Prehistoric Roads Of New Mexico: A Synthesis Of Gis And Remote Sensing Techniques, Natalie Heberling

Geography ETDs

The existence of ancient road networks in the Chaco Canyon region of New Mexico is well documented, but roads have also been found in other Southwestern locations, as well as at other prehistoric sites all over the world. The identification and subsequent analysis of road networks can strengthen our understanding of the structure and function of prehistoric cultures. Researchers have begun utilizing different GIS and remote sensing technologies in the study of ancient road networks worldwide, but use of these technologies in archaeological research is just beginning. This research explores which GIS and Remote Sensing techniques best predict the locations …

Well Built In Albuquerque: The Architecture Of The Healthseeker Era, 1900-1940, Kristen Reynolds Feb 2011

Well Built In Albuquerque: The Architecture Of The Healthseeker Era, 1900-1940, Kristen Reynolds

History ETDs

This thesis examines the architectural and cultural landscape of tuberculosis in Albuquerque during the first decades of the twentieth century. Inspired by a general belief in the healing powers of high-altitude desert air and sunshine, Albuquerque fashioned itself into a popular health resort for consumptives. In 'Well Built in Albuquerque: The Architecture of the Healthseeker Era, 1900-1940,' I argue that the disease inspired a new and distinctive health landscape in the city that included sanatoriums, boarding houses, and rustic campsites. The architecture, design, and spatial patterning of this landscape reflected prevailing medical and social ideologies concerning both the disease and …

Too Hot To Handle: Climate Change And Agricultural Water Use, Denise D. Fort Jan 2011

Too Hot To Handle: Climate Change And Agricultural Water Use, Denise D. Fort

Faculty Scholarship

The world faces enormous challenges in responding to looming crises in food and water. Responding to this challenge will require flexibility; such flexibility may be impeded by legal institutions. This paper looks at the western United States and discusses the role of irrigated agriculture in that region. Because of climate change, a growing population, declining groundwater, the need to protect ecosystems and other conflicts, the author suggests that all water uses, including long-standing agricultural water rights, need to be examined in light of these changes. Legal systems have tended to serve the status quo, but perhaps the law can help …

"Still Undecided" But Chile Leans Toward Nuclear Energy, Benjamin Witte-Lebhar Dec 2010

"Still Undecided" But Chile Leans Toward Nuclear Energy, Benjamin Witte-Lebhar

NotiEn: An Analytical Digest About Energy Issues in Latin America

A revealing visit to France last month by President Sebastián Piñera has reignited a long smoldering debate in Chile over the "nuclear option." Careful not to endorse the possibility outright, the Chilean leader nevertheless make it clear during an Oct. 20 stopover in Paris that, with the benefit of some French know-how, nuclear power plants may eventually be in the cards for Chile." Chile has to prepare itself for the world of nuclear energy," Piñera said following a meeting with his French counterpart President Nicolas Sarkozy. "Our government has the obligation to prepare our engineers, scientists, and technical workers." The …

Barelas Rail Yard Redevelopment: A Stakeholder Assessment, Michael W. Furze Dec 2010

Barelas Rail Yard Redevelopment: A Stakeholder Assessment, Michael W. Furze

Architecture and Planning ETDs

Community-based redevelopment of Albuquerque, New Mexicos twenty-seven acre Barelas Rail Yard site represents one possible outcome of the ongoing redevelopment process. This thesis uses semistructured interviews with neighborhood residents and community activists to reveal visions and concerns about the future of the site from beyond the profit-driven approach of typical contemporary projects. Through interviews and the case studies, I provide recommendations for discussion and capacity-building that allows neighborhood residents to better navigate a complex political landscape and influence the redevelopment of the site through a community-based process that brings together multiple visions of renewed activity on the site that respects …

Jewish Landscapes Rooted, Embedded, Enshrined, And Transcendent: Metaphor As Communicated In Jewish Museums In New York, Jerusalem, And San Francisco, Judith Stauber Dec 2010

Jewish Landscapes Rooted, Embedded, Enshrined, And Transcendent: Metaphor As Communicated In Jewish Museums In New York, Jerusalem, And San Francisco, Judith Stauber

Communication ETDs

As public places, museums negotiate authenticity and re-presentation, fact and ideology, memory and the present confronting a basic question for museums directors, curators, and visitors alike: what is the truth here? In this dissertation, the content and form of four Jewish museums are examined rhetorically: The Jewish Museum, and the Museum of Jewish Heritage: A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, both in New York City; the Holocaust History Museum at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem; and the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco. Four metaphors--rootedness, embeddedness, enshrinement, and transcendence--capture the ways each of these museums conceptualizes and presents Jewish culture.

Conquest, Consequences, Restoration: The Art Of Rebecca Belmore, Kathleen Marie Deblassie Dec 2010

Conquest, Consequences, Restoration: The Art Of Rebecca Belmore, Kathleen Marie Deblassie

Art & Art History ETDs

Rebecca Belmore (Ojibwa/Anishinabe, b. 1960 in Upsala, Ontario), embraces three themes in her oeuvre: conquest, consequences and restoration.Through the mediums of performance art, installation, video and photography, Belmore confronts Indigenous issues regarding land theft, identity, gender, racism, stereotypes,memory, contested histories, and the recovery and reclamation of a decolonized self. All of these themes are sub-categories that fall under the larger theme of the consequences of conquest. The most significant component of Belmores work, however, is restoration, which embraces themes of healing, self-determination and sovereignty. Traditional art-historical methodologies can and have been used to analyze Indigenous art. This thesis proposes that …

Developing Soil Erosion Indices In Nepal Using Distributed Modeling, Keshav Bhattarai Oct 2010

Developing Soil Erosion Indices In Nepal Using Distributed Modeling, Keshav Bhattarai

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

This research is an attempt to develop soil erosion index maps of Nepal by integrating biophysical and socioeconomic-demographic information. Areas exhibiting high erosion caused by biophysical and socioeconomic-demographic factors are identified for all the three ecological regions of Nepal – mountains, mid hills, and Tarai – covering 147,181 square kilometers. The terrain attributes derived from 30 x 30 m2, 60 x 60 m2 and 90 x 90 m2 grids resolutions are used to compare soil erodibility in different places. A soil erosion index map helps to differentiate productive areas from non-productive ones, and such a map becomes instrumental to examine …
