Democratic Vistas For The Humanities, Richard J. Franke

Imagining America

Richard J. Franke, author, Cut from Whole Cloth, draws from his experience as founding chairman of the Chicago Humanities Festival and as CEO of John Nuveen and Company, to tackle the question, “How do we bring scholars and artists to a larger audience?” Stepping back, he also asks, “Why is it important to reach a larger audience?”

Franke argues here that the humanities can best train citizens to make the complex political, social, and moral decisions that constitute a healthy democracy. Not only are the humanities crucial to the political and social spheres, but also to the professional world where …

Littérature Naturelle: Point De Passage De La Littérature «Beur», Habiba Sebkhi

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

The literary works by so-called Beur writers have gained little recognition in most critical studies. It is as if these works have been confined to the space which produced them, the suburbs, symbol of marginality and illegitimacy. The present article proposes a new concept, «litterature naturelle», in an effort to define Beur literature as well as other writings presenting similar characteristics.

Arabo-Francophonie Et Enjeux Géolinguistiques En Méditerranée, Ahmed Moatassime

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

The recently evolved notion of Arab-Francophonie refers to the geolinguistic, geopolitical synergy between the French-speaking communities in the North and the Arabic-speaking communities in the Maghreb and Machrek. In fact this synergy involves an uneven exchange in which French dominates. The French language, however, is facing its own challenge from globalization and information superhighways, where English overwhelmingly prevails. What are the implications of this struggle for Francophonie, in the North as well as the South?

Fashionable Genetic Explanations In The Courtroom: Litigating Personal Injuries Based On Genetic Risk, Jennifer Wriggins

Faculty Publications

New developments in molecular genetics hold much promise for society. Gene therapy research is underway with the aim of helping to fight, and perhaps even eliminate some diseases. DNA data can be used as evidence to help free innocent people and put guilty ones in jail. Agricultural biotechnology can make crops and pesticides more productive. And cloning may offer exciting potential. There is little doubt that further· developments in the areas of genetics and biotechnology will change our lives in unanticipated ways.

Despite the potential benefits to society, there exist valid and serious I concerns about the potential for misuse …

Drought Preparedness And Response In The Context Of Sub-Saharan Africa, Donald A. Wilhite

National Drought Mitigation Center: Faculty Publications

Although drought is a normal, recurring feature of climate, little progress has been made in drought management in most parts of the world. A United Nations study of selected Sub-Saharan African countries revealed that most states have little experience in proactive planning for drought. Only Botswana and South Africa have made serious efforts to develop drought preparedness and response. The lack of contingency planning for drought events in the region results from limited financial resources, inadequate understanding of drought impacts, and poor coordination among government agencies. A ten-step planning process, originally developed in 1991 for U.S. states, is suggested as …

Planning For Drought: Moving From Crisis To Risk Management, Donald A. Wilhite, Michael J. Hayes, Cody Knutson, Kelly Helm Smith

National Drought Mitigation Center: Faculty Publications

Severe drought is a recurring problem for the United States, as illustrated by widespread economic, social, and environmental impacts. Recent drought episodes and the widespread drought conditions in 1996, 1998, and 1999 emphasized this vulnerability and the need for a more proactive, risk man-agement approach to drought management that would place greater emphasis on preparedness planning and mitigation actions. Drought planning has become a principal tool of states and other levels of government to improve their response to droughts. For example, since 1982, the number of states with drought plans has increased from 3 to 29. Many local governments have …

Drought Preparedness In The United States: Recent Progress, Donald A. Wilhite

National Drought Mitigation Center: Faculty Publications

Since 1986, the United States has experienced numerous droughts causing billions of dollars in losses in many economic, social, and environmental sectors. To lessen the risks associated with drought, governments at all levels have taken greater interest in drought planning, with the greatest progress coming at the state level. However, state plans, and recent actions taken by states in response to drought, have been largely reactive, emphasizing short-term actions over long-term planning. The National Drought Mitigation Center’s program is directed toward helping governments and others lessen societal vulnerability to drought. The NDMC provides a national drought information clearinghouse; assists state, …

Chapter 40 Responding To Drought: Common Threads From The Past, Visions For The Future, Donald A. Wilhite

National Drought Mitigation Center: Faculty Publications

Severe drought affected large portions of the United States during the winter, spring, and summer months of 1995–96. This event triggered a significant response effort by both state and federal government in the drought-stricken states of the Southwest and southern Great Plains. A federal interagency multistate drought task force was formed in late May. This task force, coordinated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), organized a workshop (FEMA 1996a) in late June to evaluate and assess drought-relief pro-grams available from federal, state, and local agencies for the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. Other …

Chapter 35 Preparing For Drought: A Methodology, Donald A. Wilhite

National Drought Mitigation Center: Faculty Publications

Preparedness was defined in chapter 1 as predisaster activities designed to increase the level of readiness or improve operational and institutional capabilities for responding to an emergency. Drought preparedness has encountered increasing support from governments in recent years at various levels because of escalating impacts and the ineffectiveness and costs of emergency assistance programs that have little noticeable return. For example, between 1970 and 1984, state and federal government in Australia expended more than A$925 million on drought relief under the Natural Disaster Relief Arrangements (Wilhite 1986). The Republic of South Africa spent R2.5 billion for drought relief from the …

Chapter 39 State Actions To Mitigate Drought: Lessons Learned, Donald A. Wilhite

National Drought Mitigation Center: Faculty Publications

Drought is a normal, recurrent feature of the climate of virtually all portions of the United States. Because of the country’s size and the wide range of climatic regimes, it is rare for drought not to exist somewhere in the country each year. The most recent series of drought years that has plagued the country since 1986 has extended almost uninterrupted to the present. During this time, drought has affected all or a portion of nearly all states; in some instances, states were affected for six or seven consecutive years. The percent area of the contiguous United States, according to …

A Preferred Vision For Administering Secondary Schools : A Reflective Essay, Jonna D. Andersen

Graduate Research Papers

As teachers and administrators, we need to constantly support each other and appreciate all that we give to our students. We need to realize that in education we will not always meet with success, but we need to continue to look at ways in which to do our jobs better. Principals need to be the people who work to keep their faculties and staff in a positive/progressive direction. Administrators and teachers need to set their own goals, working constantly to achieve them. As you hit roadblocks, you need to find alternatives to get you back on the road. Education is …
