Addressing a gap in community-engaged research
Background: Community-engaged research depends on sharing findings effectively; however, few tools translate implementation capacity and readiness data into actionable feedback. This gap limits community organizations' ability to use results to guide health program implementation, build trust in research, and sustain ongoing participation. This study developed and used a tailored survey response report process for congregations participating in t…
Is hiking worth it? A contingent valuation case study of Multnomah Falls, Oregon
Suffering, sense-making and meeting of minds
The mapping of the relationships between space and literature finds an advocate in Bertrand Westphal who argues that the complex networks of human activity that occur in geographical locations can act as a prism for literary interpretation. This paper adopts a geocritical lens in its focus on Le Chambon-sur-Lignon and the Plateau Vivarais-Lignon, an area of France distinguished by its Protestant history and identity as a mountain retreat. It is c…
Heaney and education
Seamus Heaney inhabited the world of teacher education, as a student, and later as a lecturer, in 1960s Belfast. That world was infused by three ideas: learning as a journey, learning through play, and learning as construction. This article traces correspondences between these and thematic trends in Heaney’s work. It presents the case that Heaney’s writing reflects an informed understanding of children and of learning peculiar to the mind of a gr…

Apsa Teaching and Learning Conference Track Summaries
The seventh annual Teaching and Learning Conference (TLC) was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from February 5 to 7, 2010, with 224 attendees onsite. The theme for the meeting was “Advancing Excellence in Teaching Political Science.” Using the working-group model, the TLC track format encourages in-depth discussion and debate on research dealing with the scholarship of teaching and learning
Apsa Teaching and Learning Track Summaries—Track Two
How well do we prepare our graduate students for the diverse careers they pursue in teaching, research, and outside of academia? This is the second time Graduate Education has been a track in the TLC, and this year we have also incorporated topics related to professional development. Despite the diversity of our presentations, we arrived at a unifying theme for our track: we must prepare graduate students for the multiple arenas they will enter i…
The Funding Dilemma for Rural Water Infrastructure on Tribal Nations
Safe drinking water is the most capital intensive of all utility services. Paying for water infrastructure improvements is a particular problem for small, rural communities, such as those on Native American reservations. These communities often rely on federal grant programs for capital improvements; however, granting agencies face difficulties deciding who to fund. By evaluating water infrastructure projects for 10 Native American communities, t…

Interoperability Issues for Underground Utilities
Interoperability issues arise when utility managers want to use both geographical information systems (GIS) and computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) for asset management. During summer 2003, the author evaluated the interoperability of CADD and GIS using a case study of the complex subsurface utility systems at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. The evaluation included tes…
Canada and the Globalized Immigrant
As trade and investment become increasingly international and global in nature, there is growing pressure on Canada to keep up with globalization and to facilitate the international movement of skilled business people. Canada's most recent and far-reaching immigration policy, the investor/entrepreneur program, is attracting entrepreneurs from countries such as Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan. Canada had hoped that the new immigrants would prov…
Negotiable Currencies
This article argues that, of the leading Continental feminist theorists who have expressed an interest in women's mysticism, most have inadvertently or otherwise taken up the theoretical model of William James, the early-twentieth-century scholar of religion. In particular, Simone de Beauvoir and Luce Irigaray have accepted the view that mysticism operates on an epistemological plane divorced from the categories of rationality and intelligibility…
Challenges of Developing a Sanitation Infrastructure Gis for the Tohono O'Odham Nation
Many rural communities lack economies of scale for sanitation infrastructure management and do not receive support from state and federal governments. These problems are particularly severe for Native American Nations, certain rural areas, as well as many developing countries. Geographical information systems (GIS) can improve the management of water and wastewater infrastructure in such areas by using technology to offset the issues of low densi…
Role of impact assessment for strategic environmental management at the firm level
ISO 14000 and country-specific initiatives have resulted in firms around the world pursuing strategic environmental management (SEM). SEM at the firm level provides a powerful set of tools for anticipating potential issues that can result in environmental impacts, incorporating other business issues relevant to the firm, and addressing them as part of the strategic plan for the firm's sustainability. By definition, anticipating potential issues t…

An integrated impact assessment of the effects of climate change on the Pacific Northwest salmon fishery
Typically natural resource managers do not consider the implications of climate change even though natural resources depend on specific climatic conditions. This omission stems from the uncertainty associated with climate-change research, and an inability to apply that research to decision-making. This paper suggests that an impact assessment approach can be used to assess the impact that climate change may have on natural resource decisions demo…
