Field ____________________________ Anthony Brown ____________________________ Kathryn Obenchain ____________________________ John Lee ____________________________ David Hicks Connecting the Links: Socio-Constructivism, Historical Thinking and Online Discussion Forums by Whitney Gordon Blankenship, B.S.; M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin December 2010 Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to my grandfather, BC Weeks, who never stopped asking when I was going back to school. And to my husband, Loyd Blankenship, thanks for going through graduate school with me. Finally, to my nieces and nephew, Holly Rine, Grayson Rine and Lila Boyd: Tag you’re it. Acknowledgements No one can take on the rigors of graduate school alone, and my case is not exception. Through out the last four and a half years I have had the help and support of numerous individuals who kept me sane and moving forward. Without this unfailing support this dissertation would not have come to fruition. First and foremost I am deeply grateful my husband, Loyd Blankenship who has been willing to put up with the long nights, panic inducing deadlines and the occasional meltdown as I have made my way through my studies. His unflagging support of my desire to take on new academic challenges allowed me to make it through in one piece.

The AID was prepared in response to the Request for Additional Information (RAT) issued by the Boston Planning and Development Agency (BPDA). The Commission’s most recent letter to the BPDA is dated May 30, 2019 provided comments to the BPDA on the Supplemental Information Document (SID) for this project. The AID and supporting documents, described changes to the project since the filing of the SD. The additional information provided was related to issues that do not have direct impact on the Commission’s Site Plan requirements. However, the additional information in Attachment 1 indicates that Right-of-way easements will granted to the City of Boston for the streets shown in Exhibit C-i. If~, the City agrees, the Commission is required, by mandate, to own and maintain the street drainage system. The Commission’s ownership and maintenance responsibilities will begin after the Right-of-way is granted to the City. However, drainage of private property will remain the responsibility of the property owner and will require a separate privately owned drainage system. One topic that was not addressed in the AID was ownership of the wastewater collection lift station that is needed to pump wastewater from the site to the Commission’s collection system.
