I am sincerely grateful to the efforts of everyone who has helped contribute to the making of this Plan which is so important for the future of Powys. Importantly, the Plan sets out a clear and strong strategy for meeting the future needs of the county’s communities over the next decade. By focussing development on our market towns and largest villages, it provides the direction and certainty to support investment and enable economic opportunities to be seized, to grow and support viable service centres and for housing development to accommodate our growing and changing household needs. At the same time the Plan provides the protection for our outstanding and important natural, built and cultural environments that make Powys such an attractive and special place in which to live, work, visit and enjoy. Our efforts along with all our partners must now shift to delivering the Plan for the benefit of our communities. Councillor Martin Weale Portfolio Holder for Economy and Planning

  • Arab American Literature and the Ethnic American Landscape: Language, Identity, and Community
    Arab American Literature and the Ethnic American Landscape: Language, Identity, and Community A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department English and Comparative Literature of the College of Arts and Sciences by Niven Herro, B.A., M.A. July 2018 Committee Chair: Jennifer Glaser, Ph.D. Committee Members: Lisa Hogeland, Ph.D., Laura Micciche, Ph.D. Abstract This dissertation explores the works of contemporary Arab American women writers with a focus on language, identity, and community. I am especially interested in the ways in which the Arab American immigrant experience mirrors that of other ethnic American groups, as demonstrated in their literatures. First, I argue that Randa Jarrar’s debut novel, A Map of Home (2008), which uses language—both Arabic and English—as a source of empowerment, reflects Chicana writer Gloria Anzaldúa’s concept of the “new mestiza consciousness.” Comparing the Chinatown community in Fae Myenne Ng’s Bone (1993), to the Muslim community in Mohja Kahf’s The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf (2006), reveals the complicated relationships the novels’ characters have with their communities. In both novels, the personal development of their young women protagonists is greatly influenced by their respective communities, which simultaneously serve as positive sites of support and complex sites of difficult negotiations. While the characters in A Map of Home and The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf ultimately learn to effectively navigate their hybrid subject positions as both Arabs and Americans, the failure to do so leads to a tragic end for the couple at the center of Laila Halaby’s Once in a Promised Land.

  • Paper, I Explore How British Media Portray Immigration from the EU and How That Relates to the Brexit Decision
    Course on The European Union and the Politics of Migration European Studies, The University of Toronto, 2019 Author: Wai Chan How British media portrayed migration from the EU in the context of Brexit Abstract: In this paper, I explore how British media portray immigration from the EU and how that relates to the Brexit decision. I base my arguments from a range of empirical research that analyzed British media’s portrayal of EU immigration prior to the Brexit vote. In the first part, I analyze how British media portrayed the facts of immigration. In the second half, I analyze how British media interpreted implications of EU immigration. I found that British media plays more than a passive role in presenting facts and viewpoints in the Brexit debate, but is active in shaping facts, selectively reporting on the immigration issue and imposing its own analytical frames in explaining the implications of immigration. British media highlighted the massive scale and negative consequences of EU immigration. It most often presents EU immigrants as abusing British welfare system and the EU as eroding British sovereignty. Understanding how the British media influenced public understanding and opinion about EU immigration in relation to British people’s decision to leave the EU has can reveal how the media interacts with public opinion and political reality more generally and will be insightful for future political campaigns. Introduction Background Britons voted in a referendum on June 23rd, 2016 to leave the EU (May, 2017). The decision came as a surprise as many polls prior to the referendum predicted a remain vote (May, 2017).
