Culture Sometimes Matters: Intra-Cultural Variation In Pro-Social Behavior Among Tsimane Amerindians, Michael Gurven, Arianna Zanolini, Eric Schniter Sep 2007

Culture Sometimes Matters: Intra-Cultural Variation In Pro-Social Behavior Among Tsimane Amerindians, Michael Gurven, Arianna Zanolini, Eric Schniter

ESI Publications

Agent-centered models usually consider only individual-level variables in calculations of economic costs and benefits. There has been little consideration of social or cultural history on shaping payoffs in ways that impact decisions. To examine the role of local expectations on economic behavior, we explore whether village affiliation accounts for the variation in dictator game offers among the Tsimane of the Bolivian Amazon independently of other factors that could confound such an effect. Our analysis shows that significant differences in altruistic giving exist among villages, village patterns are recognized by residents, and offers likely reflect variation in social expectations rather than …

The Human Dimensions Of Land Change In Lamjung Of Nepal, Milan Shrestha Sep 2007

The Human Dimensions Of Land Change In Lamjung Of Nepal, Milan Shrestha

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

This paper presents a brief overview of an anthropological study conducted in Lamjung, Nepal. Using a multi-scalar approach that integrates household and community data with remote sensing and geographic information system applications, this study investigated the relationships between agricultural land-use strategies and the district level land-cover change patterns for the period between 1976 through 2004. The main focus of this paper, however, is on the human dimensions part, which examines the household conditions and community contexts under which smallholders changed their land-use strategies. In doing so, it looks beyond the conventional view that tends to over-emphasize demographic and poverty factors.


Seeking Refuge In Literacy From A Scorpion Bite, Loukia K. Sarroub Sep 2007

Seeking Refuge In Literacy From A Scorpion Bite, Loukia K. Sarroub

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

The purpose of this study is to examine a refugee boy’s experiences with literacy in and out of school in the US. Within these contexts, I explore this youth’s literacy development in light of his identity as a poor Yezidi Kurdish refugee from Iraq. Central to the article are two main themes. The first, life as a scorpion sting, explicates the young man’s life as a refugee, and the difficulties he faces in and out of school. The second theme, reading for mayonnaise, alerts us to the limitations of literacy programs in which unconnected texts and distanced narratives are prominent, …

Seasonality And Fidelity In Roost Use Of The Mexican Free-Tailed Bat, Tadarida Brasiliensis, In An Urban Setting, Jeffrey A. Scales, Kenneth T. Wilkins Sep 2007

Seasonality And Fidelity In Roost Use Of The Mexican Free-Tailed Bat, Tadarida Brasiliensis, In An Urban Setting, Jeffrey A. Scales, Kenneth T. Wilkins

Western North American Naturalist

We studied 7 urban roosts occupied by Mexican free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasiliensis) in downtown Waco, Texas, from August 2001 to September 2002. We examined frequency of roost use, colony sizes, and roost fidelity in relation to gender. Use of roosts and colony sizes were highest in the fall and lowest in the winter, but fluctuated widely during the study. These roosts were not used by maternity colonies, and patterns of occupancy suggested that they served as stopover sites during migratory seasons. Individual bats exhibited high fidelity to discrete roosts included in the study. However, the bats commonly left …

Quantitative Study With Prospective Students: Final Report, The Lawlor Group

Data

In February of 2007, Illinois Wesleyan University (Bloomington, Illinois) retained The Lawlor Group (TLG) to conduct an Identity Assessment assignment as one part of its overall strategic planning effort. The purpose of the assignment is to help IWU better understand its identity and obtain a “collective sense of self” as it embarks on a new strategic plan. As part of that assignment—and to augment the investigation and information gathering for the overall assignment—TLG conducted a web survey with prospective students. This research was intended to supplement our qualitative efforts during the site visit and provide quantitative data to support or …

Rural Vulnerability And Tea Plantation Migration In Eastern Nepal And Darjeeling, Sarah Besky Sep 2007

Rural Vulnerability And Tea Plantation Migration In Eastern Nepal And Darjeeling, Sarah Besky

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

This paper will analyze migration from rural eastern Nepal to tea plantations in eastern Nepal and Darjeeling and the potentials such migration might represent for coping with rural vulnerability and food scarcity. I will contextualize this paper in a regional history of agricultural intensification and migration, which began in the eighteenth century with Gorkhali conquests of todays Mechi region and continued in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries with the recruitment of plantation laborers from Nepal to British India. For many Kiranti ethnic groups, agricultural intensification resulted in social marginalization, land degradation due to over-population and over-farming, and eventual migration to …
