Shackdweller Citizenship, Margaret Scott Sep 2010

Shackdweller Citizenship, Margaret Scott

Cities in the 21st Century

Literature on slum and shack settlements focuses mainly on the staggering numbers of shackdwellers, the steadily increasing urban population, and the perils of rapid urbanization yet largely ignores the rights of the poor people housed in these disputed and often highly politicized areas. Even in literature sympathetic to the need for improved conditions, little agency is granted to those who have the greatest stake in how slums are managed, the shackdwellers themselves. The paper looks carefully at shackdwellers' rights, considering the activism of a South African movement, the Abahlali baseMjondolo. Details on the Abahlali are revealed through a variety of …

Integrating The Suburbs: A Park Forest Case Study, Joseph Houlihan Sep 2010

Integrating The Suburbs: A Park Forest Case Study, Joseph Houlihan

Cities in the 21st Century

The production of human living spaces operates largely within the confines of political economy. As such, myriad actors influence the economic and social character of places. And over time, places prove essentially dynamic. This paper considers the influence of political economy on the African American suburban experience during the second half of the twentieth century, focusing specifically on Park Forest, Illinois.


The Struggle For Legitimacy: Dissecting Discourse On The Expansion Of Gilo, Elise Goldin Sep 2010

The Struggle For Legitimacy: Dissecting Discourse On The Expansion Of Gilo, Elise Goldin

Cities in the 21st Century

In August 2009, the United States called for a freeze on Israeli settlements in order to promote peace talks between Israel and Palestine. Israel agreed to the settlement freeze yet less than three weeks later approved a plan by the Israel Land Administration and the Jerusalem Planning Committee to build an additional 900 houses in the town of Gilo. While much of the international community understands Gilo to be an illegal settlement built on occupied territory, Israel disputes this claim and views Gilo as a legal suburb of Jerusalem. Though many states, international organizations, and human rights groups protested Gilo’s …


Visions Of The Future As Spaces Of Engagement: The Political Economy Of Transit-Oriented Redevelopment In Tysons Corner, Va., Avery Bowron Sep 2010

Visions Of The Future As Spaces Of Engagement: The Political Economy Of Transit-Oriented Redevelopment In Tysons Corner, Va., Avery Bowron

Cities in the 21st Century

In the 1950s, Tysons Corner was a rural area of Fairfax County, VA. Today, it is the nation's 12th largest collection of commercial and office space, and the textbook example of “Edge City” suburban sprawl. Throughout its history, development in Tysons closely resembled Logan and Molotch's growth machine thesis. Over the past two years, a radically different future has been planned for Tysons with the arrival of the Dulles Metrorail and the drafting of a new Comprehensive Plan. This paper analyzes the new Comprehensive Plan through its series of drafts, public comments, and coverage in the media in order to …

Correlating Pharmaceutical Data With A National Health Survey As A Proxy For Estimating Rural Population Health, Ronald E. Cossman, Jeralynn S. Cossman, Wesley L. James, Troy Blanchard, Richard Thomas, Louis G. Pol, Arthur G. Cosby Sep 2010

Correlating Pharmaceutical Data With A National Health Survey As A Proxy For Estimating Rural Population Health, Ronald E. Cossman, Jeralynn S. Cossman, Wesley L. James, Troy Blanchard, Richard Thomas, Louis G. Pol, Arthur G. Cosby

Faculty Publications

Background: Chronic disease accounts for nearly three-quarters of US deaths, yet prevalence rates are not consistently reported at the state level and are not available at the sub-state level. This makes it difficult to assess trends in prevalence and impossible to measure sub-state differences. Such county-level differences could inform and direct the delivery of health services to those with the greatest need.Methods: We used a database of prescription drugs filled in the US as a proxy for nationwide, county-level prevalence of three top causes of death: heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. We tested whether prescription data are statistically valid proxy …

Developing A Conceptual Model Of Virtual Organizations For Citizen Science, Andrea Wiggins, Kevin Crowston Sep 2010

Developing A Conceptual Model Of Virtual Organizations For Citizen Science, Andrea Wiggins, Kevin Crowston

Information Systems and Quantitative Analysis Faculty Publications

This paper develops an organisation design-oriented conceptual model of scientific knowledge production through citizen science virtual organisations. Citizen science is a form of organisation design for collaborative scientific research involving scientists and volunteers, for which internet-based modes of participation enable massive virtual collaboration by thousands of members of the public. The conceptual model provides an example of a theory development process and discusses its application to an exploratory study. The paper contributes a multi-level process model for organising investigation into the impact of design on this form of scientific knowledge production.

The Construction Of Blackness In Honduran Cultural Production, A. Erin Mason-Montero Sep 2010

The Construction Of Blackness In Honduran Cultural Production, A. Erin Mason-Montero

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

This dissertation investigates how marginalized communities of Afro-Hondurans are represented in literature and cinematic productions of non-black writers and film producers. Despite the efforts of the dominant Honduran community to suppress or alter the image of Afro-descendants, a small handful of Ladinos, or individuals of a mixed indigenous and Spanish background, have chosen to explore the Afro-Honduran image in their works. Chapter I, 'Through the Eyes of Another: Racial Identity in Honduras,' discusses the Honduran search for national identity during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. After experiencing periods of political and economic instability, the Honduran government began to promote ancient …


Adoption Of Renewable Portfolio Standards In The United States: Which Factors Matter?, Angely Andrea Cárcamo Gallardo Sep 2010

Adoption Of Renewable Portfolio Standards In The United States: Which Factors Matter?, Angely Andrea Cárcamo Gallardo

Economics ETDs

The RPS has become the most important instrument in United States to encourage the generation of electricity through the use of renewable energy. In brief, the RPS is a policy mechanism that requires suppliers of electricity to provide a specific percentage of their energy supply from some form of renewable energy. Such a percentage is referred to as the RPS ultimate target. In this thesis factors affecting the adoption of an RPS by U.S. states are investigated. Through statistical regression, this thesis specifically studies the effects of political views, energy endowments, electricity markets, economic factors, and other variables. These factors …

The Development Of Racial-Ethnic Identity Among International Adoptees : The Role Of Perceived Parental Cultural Competency : A Project Based Upon An Independent Investigation, Abigail Jin Forshay Sep 2010

The Development Of Racial-Ethnic Identity Among International Adoptees : The Role Of Perceived Parental Cultural Competency : A Project Based Upon An Independent Investigation, Abigail Jin Forshay

Theses, Dissertations, and Projects

This study examines the relationship between parental cultural competence and the development of ethnic/racial identity among a small group of South Korean adoptees raised by White American parents in the United States. There is a growing body of research supporting the hypothesis that parental attitudes and cultural socialization practices impact significantly outcomes related to the development of racial identity among trans-racially adopted children. The research seeks to identify and measure specific characteristics in the familial environments of these Asian trans-racial adoptees which may affect the outcome of the adoptees' racial and ethnic identity in adulthood. To accomplish study goals, information …

Liberatory Means To Liberatory Ends : A Qualitative Study Of Direct Service Providers' Perceptions Of Transformative Justice As An Intervention In Child Sexual Abuse : A Project Based Upon An Independent Investigation, Dona K. Hirschfield-White

Theses, Dissertations, and Projects

This study sought to explore direct service providers' perceptions of transformative justice (TJ) as an intervention in child sexual abuse (CSA). This qualitative, exploratory study explored how TJ informed direct service providers' work with people impacted by CSA (survivors, bystander, and offenders). Twelve direct service providers who had been trained in transformative justice participated in this study. Participants were interviewed for 50 minutes. The interviews were audio-taped and questions focused on the following topics: 1) What are direct service providers' perspectives about how transformative justice impacts their ability to work with offenders, bystanders and survivors? 2) What are direct service …
