The Art of Remembering and Making a Way: "Going There, Knowing There, and Other Curious Lessons From "The Genius of the South
How do we imagine the future, especially in our current moment? This keynote encourages us to consider lessons learned and shared by those who have gone before us. This includes a giant of our discipline, Zora Neale Hurston, whose praxis challenges us to be present and to listen and learn from another vantage point. Listening informs our praxis. In this keynote, I share ways that listening has propelled entry into new spaces of inquiry, activism,…
Caesura and the Deforming Poem: Rupture as a Space for the Other
How does poetry deal with disability? At the level of theme and voice, Australian poetry â including the theorising and criticism of it â has rarely given overt priority to disabled experience. This essay seeks to contribute to a correction of this neglect by adapting the philosophical approach of Emmanuel Levinas, who wrote of the phenomenological preeminence of the Other. It considers how disability â defined expansively as a bodily otherness w…
Heritage, Tourism, and Race: The Other Side of Leisure
Heritage, Tourism, and Race views heritage and leisure tourism in the Americas through the lens of race, and is especially concerned with redressing gaps in recognizing and critically accounting for African Americans as an underrepresented community in leisure. Fostering critical public discussions about heritage, travel, tourism, leisure, and race, Jackson addresses the underrepresentation of African American leisure experiences and links Black …
Unplanned Closure of Public Schools in Michigan, 2015‐2016: Cross‐Sectional Study on Rurality and Digital Data Harvesting
BACKGROUND: For pandemic preparedness, researchers used online systematic searches to track unplanned school closures (USCs). We determine if Twitter provides complementary data. METHODS: Twitter handles of Michigan public schools and school districts were identified. All tweets associated with these handles were downloaded. USC-related tweets were identified using 5 keywords. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression were perf…
Sankofa Time
Amongst the Akan people of Ghana, the word “Sankofa” can be broken down into three syllables— “san” (return), “ko” (go), and “fa” (take)—that can be translated into “go back and take it,” or more philosophically, go back to learn. It is often represented by the Andinkra symbol of a bird with its feet facing forward and its head tucked behind; an apt metaphor for the practice of genealogical research. In Black communities in the United States, it …

Shattering Slave Life Portrayals: Uncovering Subjugated Knowledge in U.S. Plantation Sites in South Carolina and Florida
There is an ongoing dialogue about slavery that is moored to ideological, social, and physical remnants of plantations. Scholars are active participants in creating and interpreting representations of postbellum plantations as public heritage sites that shape national memory. What tools and theoretical approaches can inform how we interpret, analyze, and represent characterizations of plantation life today? In this article, I talk about the histo…
Changing Ideas About Heritage and Heritage Resource Management in Historically Segregated Communities
America's history of racial segregation has played a critical role in shaping both what is publicly acknowledged, remembered, and preserved with respect to heritage and what is forgotten, whispered about, or relegated to the status of other in many communities. In this paper, I discuss how the community of Sulphur Springs in Tampa, FL, in partnership with students and faculty from the University of South Florida, has begun to address issues of id…
Conducting Heritage Research and Practicing Heritage Resource Management on a Community Level—Negotiating Contested Historicity
In this article, I profile and analyze how the community of Sulphur Springs in Tampa, Florida, in partnership with students and faculty from the University of South Florida, has begun to address issues of diversity and representation in the marketing of heritage as a key cultural resource from a business, social, and educational perspective. This grassroots project is based on the idea of bringing people together by focusing on preserving and pro…
The Ulster Crisis, 1885-1921
George Boyce and Alan O’Day are now firmly established as the co-editors of a distinguished series of essay collections on nineteenth- and twentieth-century Irish historical themes. This volume demonstrates many of the strengths of its predecessors, uniting the authoritative reflections of well-established scholars with (often) incisive work from those, as yet, less firmly established within the discipline. Indeed, one of the great merits of the …

Redcastle, Lunan Bay, Angus: The excavation of an Iron Age timber-lined souterrain and a Pictish barrow cemetery
Cropmarks of a cemetery containing square- and round-ditched burials were excavated at Redcastle in 1997 and 1998. A total of sixteen graves was recorded: five in square barrows, two in round barrows and nine unenclosed graves. Another round barrow is clearly visible on the aerial photograph outside the excavation area. Preservation of the graves and the human remains therein varied considerably. Analysis of the bones identified two females, thre…

Courses, content, and a student essay in medical humanities
Two principled decisions underlay the introduction of the new compulsory medical humanities course. First, it was decided, all lecturers must be trained in the discipline; second, the course content must be relevant to medicine. This paper gives details of the content of eight selective courses. There is also an example of an essay by one of the students, Tiffany Suk. Entitled "Two patients in two rooms with two choices and two ends", it is a bri…

Types of Education and the Occupational Attainments of Young Men
We examine the effects of high school curriculum and vocational training on occupational outcomes among young men 25-29 and 29-33 years of age. The effects on both occupational status and occupational routines (concern with people, data, and things) are reported. Returns to years of schooling tend to be greater for whites, but returns to curriculum and vocational training are generally greater for blacks. The major exceptions to stronger effects …
