The Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Journal 2018
The Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Journal 2018 Through subtle shades of color, the cover design represents the layers of richness and diversity that flourish within minority communities. The Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Journal 2018 A collection of scholarly research by fellows of the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Program Preface We are proud to present to you the 2018 edition of the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Journal. For more than 30 years, the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF) program has endeavored to promote diversity in the faculty of higher education, specifically by supporting thousands of students from underrepresented minority groups in their goal of obtaining PhDs. With the MMUF Journal, we provide an additional opportunity for students to experience academia through exposure to the publishing process. In addition to providing an audience for student work, the journal offers an introduction to the publishing process, including peer review and editor-guided revision of scholarly work. For the majority of students, the MMUF Journal is their first experience in publishing a scholarly article. The 2018 Journal features writing by 27 authors from 22 colleges and universities that are part of the program’s member institutions. The scholarship represented in the journal ranges from research conducted under the MMUF program, introductions to senior theses, and papers written for university courses. The work presented here includes scholarship from a wide range of disciples, from history to linguistics to political science. The papers presented here will take the reader on a journey. Readers will travel across the U.S., from Texas to South Carolina to California, and to countries ranging from Brazil and Nicaragua to Germany and South Korea, as they learn about theater, race relations, and the refugee experience. -
Homelessness in the Willamette National Forest: a Qualitative Research Project

The purpose of this research project is to describe the phenomenon of homelessness in the Willamette National Forest, and suggest management approaches for local Forest Service staff. The issues experienced in this forest are a reflection of homelessness in the state of Oregon. There is a larger population of homeless people in Oregon compared to the national average and, of that population, a larger percentage is unsheltered (EHAC, 2008). We draw upon data from 27 qualitative interviews with stakeholders representing government agencies, social service agencies, law enforcement, homeless campers, and out-of- state comparators, including forest administrators in 3 states. Aside from out-of-state comparators, all interviews were conducted with stakeholders who interface with the homeless population in Lane County or have specific relevant expertise. Each category of interviews was chosen based on the perspectives the subjects can offer, such as demographics of homeless campers, potential management approaches, current practices, impacts, and potential collaborative partners. Our interviews suggest that there are varied motivations for long-term camping by homeless people in the Willamette National Forest. -
Homeless Campaigns, & Shelter Services in Boulder, Colorado
Dreams of Mobility in the American West: Transients, Anti- Homeless Campaigns, & Shelter Services in Boulder, Colorado Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrew Lyness, M.A. Graduate Program in Comparative Studies The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Leo Coleman, Advisor Barry Shank Theresa Delgadillo Copyright by Andrew Lyness 2014 Abstract For people living homeless in America, even an unsheltered existence in the urban spaces most of us call “public” is becoming untenable. Thinly veiled anti-homelessness legislation is now standard urban policy across much of the United States. One clear marker of this new urbanism is that vulnerable and unsheltered people are increasingly being treated as moveable policy objects and pushed even further toward the margins of our communities. Whilst the political-economic roots of this trend are in waning localism and neoliberal polices that defined “clean up the streets” initiatives since the 1980s, the cultural roots of such governance in fact go back much further through complex historical representations of masculinity, work, race, and mobility that have continuously haunted discourses of American homelessness since the nineteenth century. A common perception in the United States is that to be homeless is to be inherently mobile. This reflects a cultural belief across the political spectrum that homeless people are attracted to places with lenient civic attitudes, good social services, or even nice weather. This is especially true in the American West where rich frontier myths link notions of homelessness with positively valued ideas of heroism, resilience, rugged masculinity, and wilderness survival. -

Despite an increase in the population, little anthropological research has been done to understand the experiences of street-embodied individuals and the services available to them. -
I Helped Build That: a Demonstration Employment Training Program for Homeless Youth in Toronto, Canada
RAE BRIDGMAN Department of City Planning, Faculty of Architecture University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N2 Canada I Helped Build That: A Demonstration Employment Training Program for Homeless Youth in Toronto, Canada In this case study I present preliminary findings on the development of Eva's Phoenix—a pilot project designed to provide housing and employment-training opportunities for homeless youth in Toronto, Canada. I focus on the construction-train- ing program for youth and explore some of the tensions that can arise in a project of this nature. These include consulting youth about the project's directions and facilitating their participation, representational authority in relation to how the proj- ect is promoted, and the need to reconcile different values and expectations for delivering the program on the part of part- nering organizations and the youth themselves. I challenge perceptions of welfare and welfare reform in relation to youth and offer some insights into what types of services and interventions can potentially help homeless youth, [homelessness, youth, housing, employment training] n this case study I present preliminary findings on the youth and an appreciation of the multiple perspectives of development of Eva's Phoenix—a demonstration pro- many different actors (e.g., government officials, service Iject undertaken by Eva's Initiatives designed to pro- providers, private sector partners, media personnel) that in- vide transitional housing as well as training and employ- fluence the development of any project. ment opportunities for homeless youth in Toronto, Canada.

Supportive Cycling Environments for Women
SUPPORTIVE CYCLING ENVIRONMENTS FOR WOMEN By: Jessica Russell-Edmonds A practicum submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF CITY PLANNING Department of City Planning Faculty of Architecture University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2019 Jessica Russell-Edmonds ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor, David van Vliet and my advisory committee members, Rae Bridgman and Shelagh Graham. Their generosity of time and energy, and their thoughtful comments were instrumental throughout this process. I would also like to express my gratitude to the University of Manitoba and the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) for their financial support. Finally, I would like to thank all the wonderful people who agreed to participate in this practicum. Their attention is pulled in many directions, as illustrated in the findings below, so I am particularly grateful they took the time to participate. i DEDICATION For Ryan. ii ABSTRACT Cycling is recognized as an important mode of transportation. It is affordable, produces no greenhouse gases, provides a form of exercise, and requires infrastructure that is cheaper to build and maintain compared to personal vehicles. However, in low-cycling countries like Canada, women comprise a disproportionate share of total cyclists, between 20-30%, which has implications for equity, and the health of the population and environment. The academic literature offers few, and only theoretical, solutions to improve the gender disparity, all of which are theoretical. This practicum fills a portion of this gap by identifying real world interventions that assist women to cycle and asking how these could be implemented in Winnipeg. -

Discusses the journeys of the Norwegians, Danes, and Swedes. Special attention given to the Viking discovery of North America. AFRICA Course: 1111, 1112, 1140, 4750, 4760, 4770, 4774 Basil Davidson series, 8 parts; 60 min. each) shelved by series; 2 parts per video; Filmed on various locations all over Africa, showing life as it is today, plus archival film and dramatized reconstruction of earlier times. Produced in England, in association with Nigerian Television. "Basil Davidson is one of the major world authorities on African history, and this series is very well done. In some places he is presenting personal interpretations for which there is not as yet a scholarly consensus. He is generally sympathetic to African reinterpretations of world history." ‐‐ Reid Part 1: "Different but Equal." Davidson goes back to Africa's origins to show that, far from having no great art or technology, Africa gave rise to some of the world's greatest early civilizations. Part 2: "Mastering a Continent." Looking closely at three different communities, this program examines the way African peoples carve out an existence in an often hostile environment. Two very different farming villages show how, in Africa, spiritual development goes hand in hand with technological advance. Part 3: "Caravans of Gold." Davidson traces the routes of the medieval gold trade, which reached from Africa to India and China in the east and westward to the city‐states of Italy. African rulers grew rich and powerful ‐ the King of Ghana was described by an Arab traveler in 951 as the wealthiest of all kings on earth.
