Using Choice Question Formats To Determine Compensable Values: The Case Of A Landfill-Siting Process, Therese Grijalva, Arthur J. Caplan, Douglas Jackson-Smith

Economic Research Institute Study Papers

Siting noxious facilities, such as community landfills, is a challenging problem for local planners, who recognize the importance of economic efficiency and equity, political acceptance, and meeting federal regulatory standards. Meeting these criteria requires technical and socio-economic analyses in conjunction with public input. Planners may also recognize that political acceptance requires compensation for the host community, either in the form of monetary or in-kind transfers. Following Breffle and Rowe (2002), we use a "resource-toresource" paired-comparison survey method to estimate compensatory values associated with an in-county landfill for both the host and nonhost communities. Our results indicate that while a host-community …

Writing Inside The Caja: Constructing Pasos In English Composition Studies, Linda Joyce Preciado

Theses Digitization Project

In this thesis, I examine the resistance, privileges, and costs of Chicana textual identity issues in an academic arena that, by design, fragments voice and dictates choice. The scarcity in research of Chicana identity through mixed-language writing in composition depicts an existing chasm between academic demographics and university sentiments. Educational institutions that neglect to investigate, engage, and participate in textual identity perpetuate accepted pensamiento. Therefore, insight to Chicana thought, culture, and educational experiences may assist and inform the teaching dominant culture, not to separate, but to conjoin information with experience for those seeking diversity.
