  • Medical Appropriation in the 'Red' Atlantic: Translating a Mi'kmaq
    1 Medical Appropriation in the ‘Red’ Atlantic: Translating a Mi’kmaq smallpox cure in the mid-nineteenth century Farrah Lawrence-Mackey University College London Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History and Philosophy of Science Department of Science and Technology Studies 2018 2 I, Farrah Mary Lawrence-Mackey confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 ABSTRACT This thesis answers the questions of what was travelling, how, and why, when a Kanien’kehaka woman living amongst the Mi’kmaq at Shubenacadie sold a remedy for smallpox to British and Haligonian colonisers in 1861. I trace the movement of the plant (known as: Mqo’oqewi’k, Indian Remedy, Sarracenia purpurea, and Limonio congener) and knowledges of its use from Britain back across the Atlantic. In exploring how this remedy travelled, why at this time and what contexts were included with the plant’s removal I show that rising scientific racism in the nineteenth century did not mean that Indigenous medical flora and knowledge were dismissed wholesale, as scholars like Londa Schiebinger have suggested. Instead conceptions of indigeneity were fluid, often lending authority to appropriated flora and knowledge while the contexts of nineteenth-century Britain, Halifax and Shubenacadie created the Sarracenia purpurea, Indian Remedy and Mqo’oqewi’k as it moved through and between these spaces. Traditional accounts of bio-prospecting argue that as Indigenous flora moved, Indigenous contexts were consistently stripped away. This process of stripping shapes Indigenous origins as essentialised and static.

  • Yuma Academic Center Arizonastate University— ASU@Yuma
    Arizona Western College Northern Arizona University— Yuma Branch Campus University of Arizona— Yuma Academic Center ArizonaState University— ASU@Yuma Community College Changes Lives When graduation rolls around every year, the community gets a quick visual reminder of the culmi- nation of several years worth of effort. Our students are both young and old, many are parents, and most are working full- or part-time while attending college. While we have the pleasure of working with them every week of every semester, and understanding both their struggles and their dreams, the biggest part of their effort goes on behind the scenes for many people in Yuma and La Paz Counties. And yet, you benefit. You benefit when your neighbors get good jobs and can contribute to the tax base. You benefit when your company can hire skilled, productive employees. You benefit when voters in your area understand the issues as they fill out a ballot. At AWC, we also benefit when students complete their studies and accept their diploma – colleges are increasingly measured on how they prepare students to persist in school, and to complete. Arizona Western College has the highest retention and transfer rate in the state. Our students not only finish with us, but they also transfer to nearby universities, where they finish their bachelor’s degree at a rate that beats the state average for college transfers, and in greater numbers than students who went directly to a university. Winning the statistical race is not the reason we are happy, although that’s nice. We are happy because the students we work with have personal, meaningful dreams.

  • Descendants of Stephen Hopkins of the Mayflower
    Descendants of Stephen Hopkins of the Mayflower Generation No. 1 2 1 1. STEPHEN HOPKINS (STEPHEN ) (Source: "Mayflower Families Through Five Generations", volume six, "Hopkins", published by General Society of Mayflower Descendants, 1992..) was born Abt. 1580 in England, and died Bet. June 6 - July 17, 1644 in Plymouth, MA. He married (1) NAME UNKNOWN. She was born in England, and died Bef. 1617 in England. He married (2) ELIZABETH FISHER Abt. February 19, 1617/18 in Whitechapel, London, England. She died Aft. February 4, 1638 in Plymouth. Notes for STEPHEN HOPKINS: Stephen Hopkins sailed on the Mayflower in 1620. Was one of the Londoners or strangers recruited for the voyage. He was called Master, and only two other of the 17 free men on the voyage were styled. Stephen was called a tanner or leather maker at the time of the Mayflower voyage. He seems to have originated from the family of Hopkins, alias Seborne, located for several generations at Wortley, Wooton Underedge, Gloucester County, England. Although Stephen of the Mayflower may well have been a son of Stephen Hopkins, a clothier of Wortley, who also had a son Robert Hopkins of London. Two indentured servants (Edward Doty and Edward Lister) came with Hopkins on the Mayflower. Stephen Hopkins was probably the young man of that name who served as minister's clerk on the vessel Sea Venture which sailed from London June 2, 1609, bound for Virginia. The ship was severely damaged in a hurricane and the company was washed ashore on the Bermuda "Isle of the Divels" on July 28, 1609.

  • Ii ABSTRACT HARRIS, GEOFFREY SHIELDS
    ABSTRACT HARRIS, GEOFFREY SHIELDS. Toward a New Whig Interpretation of History: Common Schools in Burke County, North Carolina, from 1853 to 1861. (Under the direction of Dr. James Crisp.) This thesis will examine both the history and historiography of the common school movement in western North Carolina in the last decades of the antebellum period. In particular, it will focus on common schools in Burke County during the years of school board chairman James Avery’s tenure (1853-1861). The attendance records James Avery kept during his tenure as chairman of the county board of common schools (now located in his personal papers at the Southern Historical Collection) provide a wealth of previously unexamined data relating to the operation of common schools at the county level. A detailed examination of these records yields new insights into common schools in antebellum North Carolina. These insights have both specific and general application. First, and most specifically, an analysis of Avery’s records fills a historical gap in our understanding of common schools in Burke County (a county whose official antebellum records on education have largely been destroyed). Second, and more generally, it provides a reliable measure of popular support for and participation in an institution that historians have alternately described as a tool of elite social control and an expression of yeoman democracy. By shifting the focus of the common school narrative from the state superintendent’s office to the county level, this study challenges several entrenched features of North Carolina common school historiography and provides a new window into the rhetoric and reality of class and sectional identity in antebellum North Carolina.

  • Cumulative Watershed Effects of Fuel Management in the Western United States Elliot, William J.; Miller, Ina Sue; Audin, Lisa
    United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-231 January 2010 Cumulative Watershed Effects of Fuel Management in the Western United States Elliot, William J.; Miller, Ina Sue; Audin, Lisa. Eds. 2010. Cumulative watershed effects of fuel management in the western United States. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-231. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 299 p. ABSTRACT Fire suppression in the last century has resulted in forests with excessive amounts of biomass, leading to more severe wildfires, covering greater areas, requiring more resources for suppression and mitigation, and causing increased onsite and offsite damage to forests and watersheds. Forest managers are now attempting to reduce this accumulated biomass by thinning, prescribed fire, and other management activities. These activities will impact watershed health, particularly as larger areas are treated and treatment activities become more widespread in space and in time. Management needs, laws, social pressures, and legal findings have underscored a need to synthesize what we know about the cumulative watershed effects of fuel management activities. To meet this need, a workshop was held in Provo, Utah, on April, 2005, with 45 scientists and watershed managers from throughout the United States. At that meeting, it was decided that two syntheses on the cumulative watershed effects of fuel management would be developed, one for the eastern United States, and one for the western United States. For the western synthesis, 14 chapters were defined covering fire and forests, machinery, erosion processes, water yield and quality, soil and riparian impacts, aquatic and landscape effects, and predictive tools and procedures.
