Community Impacts Of Coastal Tourism In The Dominican Republic, Yolanda M. Leon

Open Access Dissertations

The present work presents the results of survey research conducted in 23 coastal communities of the Dominican Republic to evaluate the impacts of tourism and also the evaluation of a particular co-management system of a tourism-related activity (whale watching in Samaná Bay). Major findings include that tourism is having a positive impact on rural livelihoods as measured by increased household income, and higher levels of job satisfaction (and in the case of female-headed households, also improved material well-being). We also evidenced strong local support for the tourism industry caused by wide agreement on perceived tourism benefits; however, residents are also …

Creative Resistance: Globalisation And Digital Art, Melissa D. Milton-Smith

Arts Papers and Journal Articles

Digital media is contributing “perhaps more than any other technology, to the globalization of economies and cultures.”1 In this paper, I examine the relationship between Globalization and digital art, with reference to the work of British artist, Ross Mawdsley. Key questions raised surround the interplay between artists’ complicity and creative resistance.

Introduction: Examining The Roles And Possible Roles Of State Departments Of Education In Comprehensive School Reform, Edmund T. Hamann

Department of Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education: Faculty Publications

Though I have only just realized it, this special issue of Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk (JESPAR) did not originate at the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association in April of 2004, where four of the five articles shared here were first presented, although that forum obviously mattered to the creation of this issue. Rather, this issue began taking shape 14 years ago, in 1990, when, as an undergraduate, I took a seminar with the founder of the Coalition of Essential Schools, Ted Sizer, and his colleague, Rick Lear. At that time, I learned …

Bargaining In Two Languages: Conversational Functions Of Transactional Code-Switching, Lotfi Sayahi

Languages, Literatures and Cultures Faculty Scholarship

Studies on the pragmatic functions of code-switching, in opposition to its macro sociolinguistic significance or syntactic structure, have been largely influenced by Gumperz's pioneering classification presented in the chapter he dedicated to this topic in his 1982 book, Discourse strategies. Many other taxonomies followed Gumperz's initial proposal (Appel and Muysken 1987, Poplack 1988, Romaine 1989, Heller 1992) in spite of the usually claimed difficulty in interpreting and predicting the exact functions of code-switching in any given bilingual context. Their purpose has been to identify the sociopragmatic motivation for the occurrence of a particular code-switched utterance and ultimately classify it under …

Arthur Raper: Modern Realist In The New Deal South, Louis Mazzari

Doctoral Dissertations

Arthur Raper was a progressive sociologist and controversial voice for racial and social equality in the South during the 1920s and 1930s. Son of a white, North Carolina farm family, Raper became allied with modernist voices at Chapel Hill and the University of Chicago. Raper's research was widely discussed through the region and greatly influenced Southern race relations in the years leading to the civil rights movement.

Raper was the first white southerner to look critically and scientifically at the causes of racial violence. The Tragedy of Lynching (1933) was reviewed in hundreds of Southern newspapers and discussed throughout the …

On Redefining The Boundaries Of Animal Ownership: Burdens And Benefits Of Evidencing Animals' Personalities, Geordie Duckler

Animal Law Review

Were animals as personalty appreciated in their fundamental distinctions from other personal properties, the law might be able to fashion a more sophisticated set of legal responsibilities for, and rewards of, such ownership. As evidence doctrines on character and propensity expand and contract to address boundaries for these concepts, a fuller potential for property law may be effectively promoted as a result.

Book Review: One Hundred Years Of Old Man Sage: An Arapaho Life, Daniel J. Gelo

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Although biographies have long been a staple in Plains Indian ethnology, this profile of an Arapaho man of renown offers something new, different, and important. Because of their unique position in the unfolding events of frontier expansion, well described in this volume, the Arapahos never received the degree of study afforded other Plains tribes, and this book is redress. Moreover, Anderson's method of reconstructing Sage's life story is particularly inventive.

Book Review: Barns Of Kansas: A Pictorial History, John Michael Vlach

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

This catalog of old barns from Kansas appears at a propitious moment when considerable popular attention is being directed toward historic farm buildings in the "Sunflower State." The National Park Service along with the Kansas State Historical Society is currently in the middle of a five-year assessment of the state's historic resources, a survey that includes many historic farms. The "Barn Again" program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation has recently bestowed its highest commendation on barn restoration projects in Doniphan, Osage, and Pottawatimie Counties. This concern with agricultural legacies is reinforced as well by the University of Kansas's …

Native American Photography At The Smithsonian: The Shindler Catalogue, Elizabeth Edwards

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

This excellent volume is an illustrated reconstruction of what was probably the first exhibition of photographs at the Smithsonian. The subject matter was not the great politicians or celebrities of the times but Native Americans. Most of the photographs were of delegations that visited Washington - including numerous men from the Plains, especially representatives of the Souian peoples photographed in 1858, 1867, and 1868 - and reflected the turbulent inter-cultural politics of the period.

Entering Sacred Landscapes: Cultural Expectations Versus Legal Realities In The Northwestern Plains, Gregory R. Campbell, Thomas A. Foor

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

The spiritual part of this earth is as powerful, maybe more powerful than the physical life that we have - that we understand. We have lived in the spiritual environment, and are very much aware of its powers. The certain power places that have certain gifts to man, such as the Covenants, the many Teachings, the many blessings that come from these places-these places we call the Holy Places. The Holy Places are the spiritual environment that we have come to understand, that here is a place that the teachings, the Covenants, are received.
