The journal is supported financially and conceptually by the offices of the Provost and the Vice Chancellor for Research. Through print and on-line publication, Inquiry provides a forum tor sharing the research and creative endeavors of undergraduate students at the U of A This print issue of Inquiry records the scholarly contributions of 16 U of A student/faculty mentor pairs during the 2007/2008 academic year. The full text is included for 13 manuscripts. Abstracts are provided for an additional three papers which are posted on the Inquiry website (http://inquiry.uark.edu/). These longer works were submitted originally for consideration for the Undergraduate Teaching Award and received high ratings from reviewers. Student authors of longer papers were encouraged to submit condensed versions of their work for print publication. In some instances, reducing document length significantly diminished the overall quality of the work, and these specific authors were given an opportunity to publish on-line. As has been true in the past, the number of articles accepted for publication is controlled in part by the size of the journal, and we received many more high quality manuscripts than we could publish. The articles included in this issue are drawn from disciplines in four of the six undergraduate colleges and schools-the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences, the Sam M. Walton College of Business Administration, the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food & Life Sciences, and the College of Engineering--and are representative of the quality of research done by students in the various disciplines represented on campus. The breadth of subject matter included here is testimony to the commitment made throughout the university to research at the undergraduate as well as the graduate level. Articles are selected for publication after review by faculty members. The range of disciplines at an institution like ours makes it impossible for a few individuals to evaluate critically all the papers submitted without the assistance of experts in specific academic areas. The Editor and Publication Board of Inquiry are grateful for the assistance of those campus colleagues who have served as reviewers. As Editor, I must also thank the members of the Publication Board who gave so generously of their time, particularly at the end of the spring semester when no one has any free time. While the papers chosen for publication vary in subject, method, length, writing style, and manuscript format, they are uniformly excellent in content. As much as possible, we have endeavored to maintain discipline-specific styles to provide students with a publication experience comparable to one they might find in their individual disciplines. The intent of the journal is to record the depth and breadth of the scholarly activities of some of the university's best undergraduate students. I hope you enjoy the print and on-line offerings of the 2008 issue of Inquiry. Barbara B.

    Kentucky’s “Atomic Graveyard”: Maxey Flats and Environmental Inequity in Rural America By Caroline Peyton In 1962, with powers vested by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commis- sion (AEC), Kentucky licensed a low-level radioactive waste disposal facility, the Maxey Flats Disposal Site.1 Located in northeastern Ken- tucky’s rural Fleming County, the site’s shallow trenches welcomed nuclear garbage, ranging from medical scrubs to highly radioactive “special nuclear material” from 1963 to 1977. 2 During the mid-1970s, a state investigation detected the presence of plutonium, a transuranic radioactive chemical element, in offsite water sources. Soon thereaf- ter, an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) study revealed what many feared: plutonium had moved beyond the site’s trenches and would conceivably continue to do so. The findings challenged the 1 Local residents refer to the area as “Maxey Flat.” I employ the name Maxey Flats, per government documents.

Both enterprises require long hours, if not physically alone, then alone with your own thoughts. Those thoughts often rebel against the intended purpose—five hundred words appears good enough and twelve miles rather than fifteen might suffice for now, but accomplishing big goals requires a kind of fortitude to override those signals and to suffer well.

  • Until You Live Alone in the Land: Development, Displacement, and Environmentalism in the Rural South, 1960-1994
    UNTIL YOU LIVE ALONE IN THE LAND: DEVELOPMENT, DISPLACEMENT, AND ENVIRONMENTALISM IN THE RURAL SOUTH, 1960-1994 By MADISON WARD CATES A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2020 © 2020 Madison Ward Cates To my family for all their love and support ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Any significant undertaking requires a combination of luck and skill. The number of thoughtful, generous people who contributed to my personal and academic development leaves me grateful and undoubtedly lucky. At UF, my advisor Dr. William Link helped provide encouragement, strategic guidance, and accountability, each when I needed it most. His wealth of knowledge about the history of the South as well as his sharp editorial eye and willingness to support my career in a variety of ways proved an immeasurable blessing. I owe almost equal debts of gratitude to Dr. Lauren Pearlman. Her Modern America class challenged me to read widely, analyze incisively, and become a better historian overall. As a teaching mentor and committee member, Dr. Pearlman’s encouragement to dig deeper after reading Chapter 3 helped revive me with unexpected confidence to press on at many moments when I felt deflated and exhausted. To my other committee members—Drs. Ben Wise, Paul Ortiz, and Sevan Terzian—I give my deepest thanks for your willingness to read drafts, offer helpful questions, and support my professional development encouraged me to not forget the fundamentals of the historian’s craft and the value of passion in approaching a subject.
