21st Century Political Agronomy: Between Collapse And Apocalypse In The Capitalist World System, Harrison Raskin
21st Century Political Agronomy: Between Collapse And Apocalypse In The Capitalist World System, Harrison Raskin
Honors Scholar Theses
Examinations of the causal chain between ecological impacts and food shortages reveal significant impending global disturbances. This paper draws a causal link between ecological impacts and low food productivity which will lead to food insecurity and economic crises in the near term. Further, this paper argues that food insecurity may lead to the collapse of the capitalist world system. This threat is contrasted with “business as usual” climate models which, rather than depicting the collapse of the capitalist world system, depict its persistence throughout the collapse of the world ecology.

Evaluating Urban Parks Accessibility And Equity: A Case Study Of Hartford, Ct And New Haven, Ct, Natalie Roach, Mara Tu
Honors Scholar Theses
Public parks provide cities with environmental benefits, positive health effects, recreational opportunities, community building, educational spaces, and public amenities. However, certain populations have been systematically denied their fair share of these benefits because of unjust practices in the creation and maintenance of urban parks. With a lens of environmental justice, the goal of this research was to assess park quality and accessibility of two Connecticut cities, Hartford and New Haven, by gathering publicly available information as well as using GIS tools.
The Trust for Public Land (TPL) has an existing ParkScore rating system that evaluates the quality of a city’s …
Climate Change Vulnerabilities: Case Studies Of The Maldives And Kenya, Katherine A. Peinhardt
Climate Change Vulnerabilities: Case Studies Of The Maldives And Kenya, Katherine A. Peinhardt
Honors Scholar Theses
This paper examines the political and social vulnerabilities of climate change, with the use of two salient case studies, the Republic of the Maldives and Kenya as exemplars of effects observed and projected. The susceptibilities for each nation are examined, with unique sensitivities highlighted and common themes synthesized between the two states. Examples of existing conflict, and implications of projected territorial conflict will be discussed. Policy outcomes will also be discussed for the situation of each nation, each with its own set of contextual sensitivities in the face of climatic shifts. Generalized policy options will be proposed for the common …

Like most scientific fields, social-personality psychology has experienced an
explosion of research related to such central topics as aggression, attraction, gender,
group processes, motivation, personality, and persuasion, to name a few. The
proliferation of research can be a monster unless it is tamed with the scientific
review strategy of meta-analysis, literally analyses of past analyses that produce
a quantitative and empirical history of research on a particular phenomenon. The
purpose of this article is to outline the basic process and statistics of meta-analysis,
as they pertain to social-personality psychology. Meta-analysis involves: (i) defining
the problem under review; (ii) gathering qualified …
