Environmental controls on density‐based soil organic carbon fractionations in global terrestrial ecosystems
Categorization of soil organic carbon (SOC) into different functional subpools according to their recalcitrance and protective mechanisms helps better understand ecosystems organic carbon (OC) dynamics, and various attempts have been made to explore the suitable experimental fractionation method for such purpose. However, most previous studies neglected the influences of environmental factors on the effectiveness of varying fractionation methods.…
Learning, Growing, Embracing, Transitioning, and Changing
This paper presents a collective self-study that examines what student teachers and a teacher educator learned from our collective work during the initial Covid-19 shutdown. Using a theory of collaborative inquiry grounded in Brené Brown’s work on resiliency and vulnerability, we examined our work during this time of great struggle. We learned how severe challenges prompted us to enhance our practices and reimagine typical roles while thinking cr…
Cultivating Teachers When the School Doors Are Shut
Seven weeks into our Spring 2020 semester, the Covid-19 pandemic was wreaking havoc on the world. The pandemic caused immediate shutdowns to schools and universities fundamentally changing how we plan for, teach, guide, and work with students. This paper explores how two first-year Assistant Professors navigated the challenges we faced and the learning opportunities we embraced while continuing our work as teacher educators amid a pandemic-induce…
Mainstream News Media, an Objective Approach, and the March to War in Iraq
Americans were forced to decide during an 18-month period of intense uncertainty whether to invade Iraq as part of the war against terrorism. This article reports compelling evidence that mainstream media between September 2001 and March 2003 failed in their primary responsibility: to provide sound news and commentary on which Americans could base critical decisions about war and peace. One reason is that journalists did not use an objective appr…
Reflections on religion, media and the marketing of America’s wars
The international Christian community was celebrating World Communion Day on Sunday October 7, 2001, when the United States started bombing Afghanistan. The religious significance of this political event was not lost on many Americans – on the day when Christians throughout the world take communion in a symbolic act of unity and peace. Three years later, Americans are fighting two traditional wars and one non-traditional war. Clearly, the non-tra…
Framing the War Against Terrorism
Editorial writers for the US’ 10 largest newspapers created - during perhaps the most critical month in the war against terrorism - a singular symbolic narrative about possible military strikes in that ‘new kind of war’. The period of study is 12 September 2001, the day following the terrorist attacks, to 8 October, the day the bombing of Kabul began. It was during this critical period that the US decided to use military strikes as part of its re…

Media Attitudes and News Preferences
The urban violence which struck many American cities in the late 1960s stimulated academicians, professional journalists, politicians, and others to take a new and more concentrated look at predominantly black urban areas in an effort to determine the causes of the violence and what might be done to prevent its reoccurrence. Much of the attention was focused on the mass media and how well they communicated with the black residents of the riot-tor…
The Influence of Teleconferencing Medium and Status on Participants' Perception of the Aestheticism, Evaluation, Privacy, Potency, and Activity of the Medium
This study investigated the influence of teleconferencing medium and status on users' reaction to the medium. Subjects received either high or medium status inductions, and subgroups solved a problem in two node audio, video, and face-to-face conferencing configurations. These subgroups proceeded through the three media treatment conditions in counterbalanced order, and responded to scales measuring the aestheticism, evaluation, privacy, potency,…
Ancestry of McLuhan's Theories
Most students of the humanities and the social sciences have met the concepts of Marshall McLuhan in their readings. The widely published English professor and theorist has advanced seemingly novel concepts relating to communication and society. However, few scholars realize the extent to which these concepts have roots in or are related to the writings of others. McLuhan has acknowledged his debt to Harold Innis, The Canadian historian, Benjamin…
