Making Space For Yeast: Toward A Zymurpolitics, Walter W. Furness Jun 2024

Making Space For Yeast: Toward A Zymurpolitics, Walter W. Furness

The Geographical Bulletin

Geographic scholarship on craft brewing has characteristically fixated on place as a lens through which to understand and valuate ostensibly “local” beer, wherein fermentation acts as an alchemistic shorthand, transmuting far-flung ingredients into a product emphatically rooted in a particular location. However, yeast tends to receive little attention in this literature, even though it is a primary agent (alongside humans) in acting on raw materials to produce beer. Defying the notion of “hyperlocal,” yeast is frequently sourced from distant laboratories, though some breweries maintain their own cultures in-house. This paper draws on existing literature, observation, and interviews with brewers to …

From Mayberry To Merlot: Shifting Geographies Of Wine In The Yadkin Valley, North Carolina, Aron Massey Jun 2024

From Mayberry To Merlot: Shifting Geographies Of Wine In The Yadkin Valley, North Carolina, Aron Massey

The Geographical Bulletin

T he Yadkin Valley of North Carolina is in a period of transition. Tobacco has been the most important crop, and the tourism to the region focused on Mt. Airy, inspiration for the fictional town of Mayberry. Local officials are promoting wine tourism as a tactic to update these industries. Through qualitative fieldwork utilizing in-depth interviews with Yadkin Valley winemakers, tourism officials, business leaders, and a Baptist preacher, this project reveals the numerous geographies of wine evolving together as the industry grows in this region. The paper discusses the physical environment suitable for producing high-quality wines from European grape styles …


10 Miles From A Brewery: Population Demographics And Beer Consumption Patterns In The United States, Mark W. Patterson, Nancy Hoalst-Pullen, Winston S. Chu Jun 2024

10 Miles From A Brewery: Population Demographics And Beer Consumption Patterns In The United States, Mark W. Patterson, Nancy Hoalst-Pullen, Winston S. Chu

The Geographical Bulletin

T he number of craft breweries in the United States has increased dramatically in the last few decades, with the Brewers Association (2021a) recognizing that “more than 80 percent of Americans live within 10 miles of a brewery.” However, little is known about the population geographies within – as well as outside of – these 10-mile buffers surrounding breweries. Using 10-mile drive distance polygons, various demographics and beer consumption patterns were established at both national (U.S.) and regional levels. Results validate the Brewers Association’s pronouncement at the national level but showcase unique regional patterns in population, median household economics, and …


Dining Out With Allergies: Examing Boston's Allergy-Friendly Restaurant Landscape, Rebecca Marie Shakespeare Jun 2024

Dining Out With Allergies: Examing Boston's Allergy-Friendly Restaurant Landscape, Rebecca Marie Shakespeare

The Geographical Bulletin

According to a recent national survey, about ten percent of American adults, estimated 26 million, are likely to have food allergies (Gupta, et al. 2019). Food allergies have many psychosocial outcomes for adults, including social isolation, anxiety, and loneliness. Framing restaurants as a site of social engagement, this article seeks to describe the restaurant landscape for adults with food allergies in Boston. Using online user reviews from TripAdvisor and AllergyEats to identify locations of restaurants with mostly positive allergy-related reviews, this paper uses GIS to assess the geographic accessibility of allergy-friendly restaurants for locations across Boston. Reported allergy-friendly restaurants tend …


Connecticut Avas: Exploring And Understanding Wine In The Nutmeg State, Forest J. Katie, Katie Carroll Bowlick Jun 2024

Connecticut Avas: Exploring And Understanding Wine In The Nutmeg State, Forest J. Katie, Katie Carroll Bowlick

The Geographical Bulletin

Exploring the 260 AVAs in the United States is an exciting journey in geographic variation. An under-explored area of interest is the Nutmeg State – Connecticut. Despite ranking in the bottom quarter of wine producing states, Connecticut’s wine geography is varied and nuanced. With three distinct AVAs, 79 bonded wineries, and hundreds of millions of dollars of estimated annual economic impact, wine in Connecticut deserves a deeper look. This essay reflects on the nature of wine production in Connecticut by reviewing the establishment of its three AVAs, considering the factors that went into their establishment by reviewing documentation from initial …


Exploring The Geographies Of Food, Fermentation, And Drink, Nancy Hoalst-Pullen, Mark W. Patterson Jun 2024

Exploring The Geographies Of Food, Fermentation, And Drink, Nancy Hoalst-Pullen, Mark W. Patterson

The Geographical Bulletin

Food is inherently geographic. So many of us enjoy the notion of eating locally with the farm to table movement, yet simultaneously relish in globalization that allows for ingredients from far off lands to exist on the shelves of our local grocery store. Food is in many ways a geographical construct, as it provides a sense of place by embodying the use of ingredients and flavors to communities and locales, social interactions, spatial experiences, and place identities. In many ways, food is embedded into the historical, economic, cultural, and political fabrics of society (Atkins and Bowler 2016).

Among its objectives, based on the knowledge produced, it seeks to approach the State's response …


Loneliness And Parental Relationships Among College Students, Alanna James, Charlie Barna May 2024

Loneliness And Parental Relationships Among College Students, Alanna James, Charlie Barna

Symposium of Student Scholars

The transition to adulthood is a unique developmental period that involves rapid changes in youths’ individual development and social contexts, which can involve leaving behind familiar support networks (Eeske et al,. 2015). Common experiences during the transition to adulthood, like leaving home, pursuing college, and entering the workforce can leave individuals feeling marginalized and cutoff (Mathews et al,. 2022). Loneliness is a subjective feeling experienced by individuals in all age demographics (Matthews et al,. 2022). Despite a wide array of research on social connectedness interventions for older adults and people with physical disabilities (Zagic et al,. 2021), there is little …


Teacher Initiated Collaboration In Community: A Case Study Considering Communities Of Practice At A Title I Middle School, Katherine Stewart May 2024

Teacher Initiated Collaboration In Community: A Case Study Considering Communities Of Practice At A Title I Middle School, Katherine Stewart

Dissertations

This qualitative case study investigates how faculty members in a Title I middle school engage in collaborative practices to enhance professional growth without formal professional learning. Framed within a descriptive lens (Merriam, 1998) and informed by Brown and Duguid's Community of Practice (CoP) framework (1991), the study addresses two research questions: (1) How do teachers collaborate to improve their practice outside formal professional learning? (2) In what ways do these methods reflect the elements of CoP: working, learning, and innovating? Through data analysis, the study reveals that teachers predominantly collaborate on student behavior and classroom management, with curriculum being a …


The Question Of Design In The Context Of The First Australian Nations: Designing Reparations Through Decolonial Architecture, Eli Abamonte May 2024

The Question Of Design In The Context Of The First Australian Nations: Designing Reparations Through Decolonial Architecture, Eli Abamonte

Bachelor of Architecture Theses - 5th Year

Forget about tourist postcards and picture-perfect landscapes. Australia's true heart beats in the ancient stories of the Indigenous communities that tell them, their vibrant cultural tapestry woven beneath the surface. My research dives into this tapestry, not as an Architect with blueprints imposing my own vision, but as a student with an open ear and collaborative spirit. Australia’s vastness holds countless stories, but my research led me deep into the heart of East Arnhem Land, where ancient legends whisper in the wind and the Yolngu people dwell. Anthropologists like Bruno Descola shattered my singular view of the world, revealing a …

Use Of Newly Acquired Materials: An Analysis Of Print And E-Book Acquisitions, Rickey Best

The Southeastern Librarian

The Auburn University at Montgomery (AUM) Library examined its current acquisitions circulation rate over a period of five years (from 2017-2021) to determine whether materials being added met student and faculty needs as demonstrated by circulation patterns, and if there was a difference in circulation patterns between acquired print and e-books that might help the library determine where to better focus its resources: print or electronic.

Keeping The Light On: Academic Librarians And Burnout, Jason D. Phillips, Laura Pitts, Jessica Riedmueller, Joanna Warren May 2024

Keeping The Light On: Academic Librarians And Burnout, Jason D. Phillips, Laura Pitts, Jessica Riedmueller, Joanna Warren

The Southeastern Librarian

There is substantial research about sources of burnout among academic librarians; however, very little addresses the impact of the local environment. Responding to regional and institutional shifts while still trying to uphold the values of librarianship such as providing confidential and free access to information can quickly lead to mental, emotional, and physical exhaustion, classic symptoms of burnout. A panel discussion was presented at the Arkansas Library Association (ArLA) / Southeast Library Association (SELA) Joint Conference, on Saturday, October 14, 2023. Academic librarians from different Southern states discussed their local environments, their libraries’ responses to recent events, and their strategies …

Library Anxiety: How Elements Of Morrison’S Fourth Place And The Fast Casual Approach From The Restaurant Industry May Make The Academic Library Space More Inviting, Tara J. Kunesh May 2024

Library Anxiety: How Elements Of Morrison’S Fourth Place And The Fast Casual Approach From The Restaurant Industry May Make The Academic Library Space More Inviting, Tara J. Kunesh

Georgia Library Quarterly

The concept of library anxiety was introduced by Constance Mellon in 1986. Since then, studies have attempted to shed light upon this phenomenon to mitigate the feelings of apprehension students may feel when utilizing the academic library space or when seeking the professional help of librarians. This literature review examines the literature and, specifically, discusses whether it is possible to configure the physical library space in a more inviting way. It highlights sociology of space theories as well as concepts behind the fast casual movement employed by the restaurant industry as possible routes to improvement.
