Gender Perspective On Tourism's Influence On The Local Community: A Literature Review, Nur Abellan Calvet, Jordi Arcos-Pumarola, Laia Encinar-Prat

Journal of International Women's Studies

The tourism industry integrates multiple actors interrelated through a variety of dynamics and characteristics. To address this complexity, tourism studies integrate different disciplines and perspectives in order to comprehend the tourism phenomenon. One of the main topics of tourism studies has been its impact on local communities. The conjunction of these research lines with the gender perspective discloses how tourism interrelates with the host territory's particular gender dynamics. In this context, the present study aims to explore and analyse the current state of academic research on tourism's influence on the local community from a gender perspective. In this way, we …

Endless Saga Of Food Movement From Rural Anatolia To Istanbul, Banu Özden

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

Istanbul was a magnet throughout history attracting many civilizations, because of the endless possibilities it offered. Today as a mega metropolis, it continues to attract populations of immigrants from all over Turkey. Although these moves to the big city are permanent, these immigrants keep their ties to their native rural lands. This connection becomes an important part of their livelihood because these families continue to procure nourishments, especially staple items such as legumes, grains, and a variety of preserved foods from their homelands. This type of food movement happens in two ways. Firstly, every year they visit relatives in the …

From “Slave” To “Poor People” To “Traditional” Food: The Journey Of Saltfish Across The Atlantic To The West Indies And Its Movement Through The Culinary Landscape Of Trinidad And Tobago, Shrinagar I. Francis

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

The movement of food is intimately linked to humans; foodways would not be the phenomena that they are if this were not so. In the first instance there is the transfer of food from one geographic location to another, which is almost always directly correlated to human migration. Particular to the physical movement of food, this paper highlights the journey of saltfish across the Atlantic to the West Indies, specific to its introduction to the African enslaved population during colonial rule. Following the bodily movement of an item of food, there is its ideological journey through varying communal, cultural and …

The Movement Of Women, Beer And Feast Foods In Establishing The Inka Empire, Marie Hopwood

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

At its heart, empire is about movement with borders ever expanding outwards and tribute ever flowing inwards. For the Inka these aspects were gendered, with the conquest seen as masculine while the care and control of the conquered was feminine. Both forms of power were essential and functioned in tandem. From the feminine powers of provisioning came the bonds of reciprocity. Accepting Inka food and drink was not optional, but through its consumption bonds of reciprocal obligations were forged between the Inka elite and the non-Inka conquered communities. These bonds were made visible through feasting events involving maize beer (chicha) …

Olive Oil And Movement, Moving Olive Oil, Anne Meneley

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

This paper addresses several themes in the movement of olive oil. Although it is not often discussed in medico-scientific terms like “peristalsis”, olive oil was and is consumed as a morning shot in many parts of the Mediterranean, to encourage swift and efficient digestive trajectories through the body. It is one of the stars of ancient agriculture, and is still revered as a product capable of capturing a “local” identity, so much so that every olive grower seems to claim their own olive oil is the best. While an icon of “traditional” food, lower grade olive oil was also used …

The Impacts Of The Uk Wine Industry On People, Place And Climate, Claire Lyons

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

Climate change has moved the boundary at which viniviticulture is possible to above 49.9N+ degrees above latitude, in the UK this has made commercial wine production both possible and profitable. This has triggered a movement in land-use, as vineyards increasingly replace other arable land in England and Wales; a movement of people, as wealthy business professionals return to the land to establish vineyards; and a movement on menus, as English and Welsh wine is stocked at establishments from Weatherspoon’s to The Fat Duck. Concurrently, climate change is severely disrupting agricultural production and livelihoods, prompting passionate calls for a far reaching …

Sweet Tales Of Sweet Potatoes In Edo Japan, Miguel Ángel Pelayo Prieto

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

Roasted, steamed, pureed, candied - sweet potatoes or satsumaimo are considered autumn delicacies in traditional Japanese cooking (washoku). Although native to the American continent, nowadays, they take part in the Japanese pantry. They arrived in Western Japan in the 17th century, where they prospered as a nutritious, hardy crop and spread eastwards in the following centuries. As a case study, this paper will present the sweet potato's introduction, diffusion, and acceptance during the Edo period (1600-1868) when washoku took shape. Based on written sources and material culture, the main topics will be the naturalization and acculturation of a foreign entity …

Is The Language Of Wine Broken?, Richie Brady

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

According to Esther Mobley, wine writer of the San Francisco Chronicle, and other speakers at the 2021 Professional Wine Writers Symposium, the language of wine is broken. Accusations of classism, Eurocentrism, colonialism, racism, sexism and being exclusionary are levelled against it. This paper will review the difficulties of describing wine in English, the movements between differing styles of describing wine since the early twentieth century and the above accusations. It will also consider whether the language of wine is, in fact, broken.

Back To The Future: The Artisan Food Producer In Ireland’S Food Tourism Proposition, Rebecca O'Flynn

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

Artisan food producers are arguably more than the sum of their parts when it comes to the important role they play within Ireland’s food in tourism landscape.

On the one hand, both food and tourism as well as the artisan economy are forecasted to grow globally (Yeoman and McMahon-Beatte 2016, 95; Avent 2018; Polites 2020), suggesting that there is a significant role for artisan producers to play in food tourism in Ireland, compounded by a developing interest in local and sustainable food (Sage 2010). On the other, artisan food producers are both purveyors and preservers of food culture, heritage and …

Food And The Civil Rights Movement, Urszula Niewiadomska-Flis

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

The purpose of my presentation is to analyze broader significance of the act of ordering food and/or beverages at lunch counters by African Americans in the segregated South as illustrated in Anthony Grooms’s short story “Food that Pleases, Food to Take Home” (1995). Annie McPhee and Mary Taliferro, two African-American heroines, decide to demand their rights at the lunch counter in a local store in Louisa, Virginia. I intend to apply Victor Turner’s concept of social drama (cultural anthropology), along with the issue of commensality (Kerner et al 2015) and the issue of black (in)visibility (Elizabeth Abel 2010) to analyze …

Preserving Irish Smoked Salmon: Food Producers, Cultural Heritage, And Environmental Conservation, Malia Guyer-Stevens

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

This research argues that the bottom-up heritagization of smoked salmon by Irish smoked salmon producers is an integral piece in the movement to protect wild Atlantic salmon in Irish waters. Wild Atlantic salmon in Ireland have transformed over the centuries from mythological figure to luxury export, and today into national food heritage thanks to the efforts of smoked salmon producers. This designation transforms Irish salmon from a wild animal into a symbol of Ireland’s historic ties to their coastal regions, an embodiment of traditional food practices, and projects the fish’s importance into the future. However, wild Irish salmon face extinction …

Economics And Catholic Social Teaching: A Pedagogy Of Navigating Rationality, Self-Interest, Altruism, And Reciprocity, Joselito T. Sescon, Philip Arnold P. Tuaño, Rachel Joyce Marie O. Sanchez, Jaime A. Acevedo, Stephanie Ann Puen

Social Transformations Journal of the Global South

Proceeding from the dialogue between the tradition of Catholic social teaching (CST) and socio-economic development, this paper addresses the perceived irreconcilability of the neoclassical microeconomic model of rational self-interested individuals with that of the altruistic and sacrificing behavior called for by the Christian church. To confront this research problem, we present the challenging task of teaching economics in a Jesuit and Catholic university that consciously promotes Ignatian values and pedagogy. Highlighting the internal dialogue within the economics discipline on the differing views of self-interest versus community interest, we tackle how economic theory and application have arduously grappled with these two …

Mapping Social Network Influences Of Recovering Filipino Drug Users In Community-Based Drug Rehabilitation, Jason O. Manaois, Ma. Regina M. Hechanova, Maria Regina Justina E. Estuar

Social Transformations Journal of the Global South

This study examined structural changes in social network influences of recovering drug users. Anchored on the theory of social influences and social network, recovering drug users’ social network interactions were mapped out using social network analysis (SNA). This study utilized exploratory sequential mixed method design. A focused group discussion (n = 12) using the name generator approach was conducted to develop a survey of the recovering drug users’ social network influences. This survey was administered pre- and post-community–based drug rehabilitation (n = 52). Results of the SNA show that members of the drug users’ immediate families, their friends, and their …

Recruitment, Retention, And Future Direction For A Heart Health Education And Risk Reduction Intervention Led By Community Health Workers In An African American Majority City, Julie Gleason-Comstock, Cindy Bolden Calhoun, Ghadir Mozeb, Cardell Louis, Alex B. Hill, Barbara J. Locke, Victor Harrell, Sadia Yasmin, Liying Zhang, John M. Flack, Nancy T. Artinian, Jinping Xu

Urban Studies and Planning Faculty Research Publications

Heart disease is a leading cause of death for African Americans. A community-academic partnership cross-trained community health workers to engage African American adults in a 6-month heart health education and risk reduction intervention. We conducted a one-group feasibility study using a one group (pre-posttest) design. A total of 100 adults were recruited from 27 zip codes in an African American majority city through community-based organizations (46%), churches (36%), and home visits (12%). Ninety-six percent were African American; 55% were female, 39% were male, and 6% were transgender. Their mean age was 44.6 years (SD=15.9). Ninety-two percent had health insurance. Seventy-six …

Beakers, Berkemeiers, And Roemers: Glass Drinking Vessels From The 17th-Century Dutch Settlement Of Fort Orange, New Netherland, Kristina Staats Traudt

Graduate Masters Theses

This thesis examines 17th-century glass drinking vessel remains uncovered during the 1970-1971 Fort Orange excavations in Albany, New York. Fort Orange was a colonial outpost established by the Dutch West India Trading Company on behalf of the United Provinces of the Dutch Republic in 1624. The fort served as an important trading post within the colony of New Netherland. Drinking vessels are studied in order to determine any traceable patterns of preference in form, decorative elements, or use. Vessels of note include roemers, berkemeiers, goblets, and varying forms using Venetian and Façon de Venise decorative techniques. The analysis is separated …

“You Keep Using That Word”: Why Privacy Doesn’T Mean What Lawyers Think, Joshua A.T. Fairfeld

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

This article explores how the need to define privacy has impeded our ability to protect it in law. The meaning of “privacy” is notoriously hard to pin down. This article contends that the problem is not with the word “privacy,” but with the act of trying to pin it down. The problem lies with the act of definition itself and is particularly acute when the words in question have deep-seated and longstanding common-language meanings, such as liberty, freedom, dignity, and certainly privacy. If one wishes to determine what words like these actually mean to people, definition is the wrong tool …

On A Mission: Examination Of Graduate Resources For Multicultural Women At The University Of Massachusetts Boston, Annmarie Mccluskey

Critical and Creative Thinking Capstones Collection

This paper discusses significant issues affecting Multicultural Women Graduate Students at the University of Massachusetts Boston, a Predominately White Institution, for creating a centralized graduate resources weblink on the Office of Graduate Studies website. The intervention seeks to address navigating gender and race inequalities that create a double bind experience of stress within a dominant academic culture that reinforces isolation, intersectional barriers, microaggressions, and pressure to assimilate to the dominant culture. Facilitation of this proposal will impact Multicultural Women Graduate Students, the Office of Graduate Studies, the Provost’s Office which oversees the OGS, and the entirety of the University of …
