Thesis Spinning in Circles: Poverty Alleviation THESIS SPINNING IN CIRCLES: POVERTY ALLEVIATION VENTURES IN LARIMER COUNTY, COLORADO Submitted by Cheryl Alane Distaso Department of Social Work In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Social Work Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2014 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Kim Bundy-Fazioli Roe Bubar Norberto Valdez Copyright by Cheryl Alane Distaso 2014 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT SPINNING IN CIRCLES: POVERTY ALLEVIATION VENTURES IN LARIMER COUNTY, COLORADO Weaving together grounded theory and autoethnography as methodologies, this thesis interrogates two companion antipoverty initiatives in Larimer County, Colorado. The initiatives studied were Bridges out of Poverty and the Circles Campaign, during the years 2012 and 2013, when they were being piloted locally by funding provided by Bohemian Foundation. Data used in the study include website materials, YouTube videos, notes gathered at public meetings, autoethnographic memos, and artifacts such as tax forms, reports, and other public documents. This study concludes that the initiatives have no reliable efficacy data, reinforce stereotypes, and do not examine root causes of poverty. It is argued that the initiatives are ineffective and dangerous, as they engage in victim blaming and offer the false illusion that poverty is being addressed in our community. Recommendations for the implementation of effective poverty alleviation approaches are given. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are many people whose friendship and mentoring gave life to this project. I didn’t realize how touched I would be by the experience of having my piece read and critiqued by a core group of people whom I admire as greatly as those on my committee. Kim Bundy-Fazioli offered consistent feedback over years of work. Roe Bubar’s insights helped me refine my approach to intersectionality. Norberto Valdez, as a mentor, friend, and activist, taught me how to blend scholarship and activism into true praxis. Matt Aronson, an intellectual giant, met on a moment’s notice to help me craft my ideas, find my voice, and make me laugh. Maggie Cummings, and other CSU library staff, never hesitated to hunt down an obscure book or document. Evelyn Swiss was always available to untangle complications inherent in institutional review board needs and grounded theory demands. The entire Ethnic Studies department provided me with constant support. Lynn Stutheit’s editing was as invaluable as her friendship. Maricela DeMirjyn welcomed me into her qualitative research class. Marie Schaffner and Sue Tungate, proof that critical social workers are invaluable to our profession, provided constant guidance, and embraced my nontraditional perspective. Vani Kannan was a stellar writing partner. The household on Sunset Street was unsurpassed. Becca Sorber and Zach Heath were relentlessly supportive. Kim Baker-Medina, Nancy York, Dave Bell, Mike Devereaux, and my community of friends insisted that I breathe and take breaks, and then helped me to focus. Gabriel Balogh and Kevin Balogh, I’m proud to be your mom, and I am grateful that you pushed me to finish this thesis. And to everyone who attended my defense, thank you for helping me to move this work from the relative isolation of academia to a place of dynamic popular education. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT

Tours roll across the coun- try like mobile homes in a Florida hurricane. The most memo- rable for this magazine/bar owner were the Warped Tour and Wakestock, where such bands as Bad Religion, Billy Talent, Alexisonfire, Closet Monster, The Trews and Crowned King had audiences in mosh-pit frenzies. At Wakestock, in Wasaga Beach, Ont., Gasoline, Fox Racing, and Bluenotes rocked so hard at their two-day private cottage party that local authorities shut down the stage after Magneta Lane and Flashlight Brown. Poor Moneen didn't get to crush the eardrums of the drunken revellers. That was day one! Day two was an even bigger party with the live music again shut down. The Reason, Moneen and Crowned King owned the patio until Alexisonfire and their crew rolled into party. Gasoline would also like to thank Chuck (see cover story) and other UN officials for making sure that the boys in Sum41 made it back to the Bovine for another cocktail, despite the nearby mortar and gunfire during their Warchild excursion.

  • Legends of the West
    1 This novel is dedicated to Vivian Towlerton For the memories of good times past 2 This novel was written mostly during the year 2010 CE whilst drinking the fair-trade coffee provided by the Caffé Vita and Sizizis coffee shops in Olympia, Washington Most of the research was conducted during the year 2010 CE upon the free Wi-Fi provided by the Caffé Vita and Sizizis coffee shops in Olympia, Washington. My thanks to management and staff. It was good. 3 Excerpt from Legends of the West: Spotted Tail said, “Now, let me tell you the worst thing about the Wasicu, and the hardest thing to understand: They do not understand choice...” This caused a murmur of consternation among the Lakota. Choice was choice. What was not there to not understand? Choice is the bedrock tenet of our very view of reality. The choices a person makes are quite literally what makes that person into who they are. Who else can tell you how to be you? One follows one’s own nature and one’s own inner voice; to us this is sacrosanct. You can choose between what makes life beautiful and what makes life ugly; you can choose whether to paint yourself in a certain manner or whether to wear something made of iron — or, as was the case with the famous Cheyenne warrior Roman Nose — you could choose to never so much as touch iron. In battle you choose whether you should charge the enemy first, join the main thrust of attack, or take off on your own and try to steal his horses.

  • Words, Lines, Diagrams, Images: Towards a History of Scientific
    Early Science and Medicine 14 (2009) 398-439 www.brill.nl/esm Words, Lines, Diagrams, Images: Towards a History of Scientific Imagery Christoph Lüthy & Alexis Smets* Radboud University Nijmegen To John E. Murdoch, eminent iconographer Abstract is essay examines the problems encountered in contemporary attempts to establish a typology of medieval and early modern scientific images, and to associate apparent types with certain standard meanings. Five particular issues are addressed here: (i) the unclear boundary between words and images; (ii) the problem of morphologically similar images possessing incompatible meanings; (iii) the converse problem of com- parable objects or processes being expressed by extremely dissimilar visual means; (iv) the impossibility of matching modern with historical iconographical terminologies; and (v) the fact that the meaning of a given image can only be grasped in the context of the epistemological, metaphysical and social assumptions within which it is embed- ded. e essay ends by concluding that no scientific image can ever be understood apart from its philosophical preconditions, and that these preconditions are often explained during disputes between the protagonists of different iconographical types. Keywords scientific imagery, epistemic images, word and image, taxonomy of images, iconogra- phy, chymistry, Marsilio Ficino, Giordano Bruno, René Descartes * Faculty of Philosophy, Radboud University Nijmegen, P.O.

Copyright i()jj by The Metropolitan Museum of .Art Printed in the United States of America 4pt-efretac, e The first edition of this handbook was issued in 1930 under the title A Handbook of Mohammedan Decorative Arts. Since then the Metropolitan's collection of Muhammadan art has been enriched by numerous important acquisitions and today it ranks as one of the foremost in the world. In the present edi­ tion the handbook has been revised and brought up to date in the light of recent research and excavations, particularly those at Ctesiphon and Nishapur, undertaken by the Metropolitan Museum. For better understanding of Muhammadan art, a new chapter on "The Origins of Islamic Art," dealing with East Christian (including Coptic), Parthian, and Sasanian art, has been added. Like the first edition, this new one is the onlv guide to Muhammadan art in the English language and will be useful to students and collectors as well as to visitors to the Museum.

THE true title of this work should be, ' Con- cerning Shakespeare.' The Author's original incentive was the desire to " introduce," as they say in England, the new translation of Shakespeare to the public. The tie that binds him so closely to the translator need not deprive him of the privi- lege of commending the translation.^ From an- other side, however, and still more closely, his conscience was engaged by the subject itself In contemplating Shakespeare, all the questions re- lating to art have arisen in the Author's mind. To deal with these questions is to set forth the mission of art ; to deal with these questions is to set forth the duty of human thought toward man. Such an opportunity' for speaking some true words imposes an obligation that is not to be shirked, especially in a time like ours. This the Author * Made by the poet's son, Fran9ois-Victor Hugo.
