Upton Central School District is committed to an educational environment that assures equitable opportunity for individuals to become College and Career Ready and ultimately, responsible, productive members of society. We will encourage all individuals to do their personal best, that they may gain a lifelong enthusiasm for work and learning. September/October 2018 VOLUME 29, NUMBER 1 It’s the Quality of the Journey that Counts! GMU Showcases Recycling Program Students take part in green efforts! Administrators from the Gilbertsville-Mount Upton Central School District recently made a presentation about the school’s recycling program, which has allowed the district to reduce its carbon footprint. The district has been developing this program for several years, and it has saved the district thousands of dollars in the long run. Superintendent Annette Hammond, Business Manager Dorothy Iannello, School Meals Manager Susan Sebeck, Principal Heather Wilcox, and Buildings and Grounds Supervisor Alan Digsby attended the Rural Schools Association conference recently to showcase the program, and to explain the steps taken to get to where GMU currently is. “The program has come a long way and has become one of pride for the district,” Hammond said. “Our staff and stu- dents have worked extremely hard as a team to make sure the program is sustainable and will help our school as we move forward in future years.” Continued on page 3 Superintendent’s Message Welcome back to the 2018-2019 on with our students!

  • Women, Agency, and the State in Guinea
    Women, Agency, and the State in Guinea This book examines how women in Guinea articulate themselves politically within and outside institutional politics. It documents the everyday practices that local female actors adopt to deal with the continuous economic, political, and social insecurities that emerge in times of political transformations. Carole Ammann argues that women’s political articulations in Muslim Guinea do not primarily take place within women’s associations or institu- tional politics such as political parties; but instead women’s silent forms of politics manifest in their daily agency, that is, when they make a living, study, marry, meet friends, raise their children, and do household chores. The book also analyses the relationship between the female population and the local authorities, and discusses when and why women’s claim making enjoys legiti- macy in the eyes of other men and women, as well as representatives of ‘tra- ditional’ authorities and the local government. Paying particular attention to intersectional perspectives, this book will be of interest to scholars of African studies, social anthropology, political anthropology, the anthropology of gender, urban anthropology, gender stu- dies, and Islamic studies.

Reiff, Chair This dissertation appraises the role of white, middle-class businessmen as engineers of urban development, assessing the complexity of individual and group reactions to an array of economic, political, social, and environmental stimuli that residents of Kansas faced between 1870 and 1929 using Abilene, Wichita, and Dodge City as case studies. I explore the social dynamics that evolved among these local businessmen – as well as with other townspeople and those who lived outside their communities – to consider how these social interactions affected each town’s urban aspirations. This study traces the process of town-building from its inception when Abilene, Wichita, and Dodge City became cattle towns; through the towns’ transition into commercial centers during the boom of the 1880s; their struggles to negotiate the agricultural and economic depression of the 1890s; and their resurgence in the early 1900s.

  • Influencing American Health Policy: an Analysis of The
    ABSTRACT POLITICAL SCIENCE JEAN-LOUIS, ANGELA L. B.A. UNIVERSITY OF WEST GEORGIA, 1992 M.P.A. UNIVERSITY OF WEST GEORGIA, 1996 INFLUENCING AMERICAN HEALTH POLICY: AN ANALYSIS OF THE ROLE OF NATIONAL BLACK WOMEN-LED ORGANIZATIONS Committee Chair: William Boone, Ph.D. Dissertation dated May 2017 Through a multiple case study approach, this dissertation outlined patterns of activism, examined the factors that assist in decision-making strategies used for the political mobilization of black women, and assessed the role and influence their organizations have in the health policy arena. Building on the belief that the intersectionality of race, gender, and class guides the activism of black women, the study acknowledges the importance of analyzing the political conditions of black women that are different from black men and white women. Furthermore, the research offered an argument for the need of a theoretical framework that provides a multidimensional analysis of black women’s political representation. For that reason, the theory developed in this study was a Black Women’s Activism Theoretical Framework. Expanding on black feminist thought, the framework reveals ways in which black female activists have mobilized for self-representation and building of their own collective self, vision, and voice. i A mixed research method and holistic case studies of five national black women- led organizations in the areas of breast cancer, cardiovascular disease, and HIV/AIDS were applied. The qualitative data were quantified, coded, and placed on outcome, legislative, and perception success scales to gauge the level of successfulness achieved by the organizations from 2001 to 2015. The data were analyzed with a Black Women’s Activism model.

THE NASHVILLE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT: A STUDY OF THE PHENOMENON OF INTENTIONAL LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND ITS CONSEQUENCES FOR LOCAL MOVEMENTS AND THE NATIONAL CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT AT GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY by BARRY EVERETT LEE Under the Direction of Jacqueline A. Rouse ABSTRACT The Nashville Civil Rights Movement was one of the most dynamic local movements of the early 1960s, producing the most capable student leaders of the period 1960 to 1965. Despite such a feat, the historical record has largely overlooked this phenomenon. What circumstances allowed Nashville to produce such a dynamic movement whose youth leadership of John Lewis, Diane Nash, Bernard LaFayette, and James Bevel had no parallel? How was this small cadre able to influence movement developments on local and a national level? In order to address these critical research questions, standard historical methods of inquiry will be employed.

There are numerous people who have supported me along the way, without whose contributions this project would not have been possible. I first want to thank Olis Simmons, Executive Director of Youth UpRising (YU), as well as the entire crew at YU, the youth leadership development organization in Oakland that provided me with a much-needed social anchor in an otherwise expansive fieldwork setting that felt daunting at first. The YU team is truly fighting the good fight in its efforts to reach out to young people in danger of “falling through the cracks” of our frayed social fabric.
