April 12-14, 2002
Sponsored by the Department of Geography and the Institute of Behavioral Research Renewed immigration to the United States is prompting a fundamental ethnic and racial restructuring of American society. Indeed, some observers claim that the U.S. will become a "minority majority" country in a few short decades a projection that stimulates much social and political anxiety. Traditional immigration gateways (e.g., California and New York especially their major cities, Los Angeles and New York) have struggled to respond to rapidly changing demographics. Immigration affects almost every aspect of society in these contexts; from housing and labor markets to cultural identities and inter-group conflicts. While research and policy communities have attempted to address the impact of renewed immigration on communities in gateway states, immigration increasingly impacts non-traditional destinations, as convincingly demonstrated by Census 2000. Small communities across the country are experiencing dramatic demographic changes, and the economic, political and social changes that follow. The pace of these changes challenges our conventional understanding about the causes and consequences of immigration. This miniconference seeks to bring together scholars from multiple disciplines interested in immigration and ethnicity in the United States. Our intent is to transcend some of the disciplinary boundaries in order to induce fresh thinking about immigration and ethnicity in the U.S. As a starting point for our discussions, we offer the following hypothesis: the nature of immigration and its impacts are conditioned in important ways by the geographic context(s) in which it occurs. We conceive of geographic context at multiple scales, ranging from the body (e.g., multi-ethnic individuals), to neighborhoods to cities to states and regions. As immigration increasingly characterizes non-traditional destinations, we need new ways of theorizing and studying the processes and their outcomes.

Whose ecosystem is it anyway?
Control of the world's grasslands, forests, wetlands, and wild rivers is daily contested by politicians, farmers, herders, corporations, consumers, tourists, bureaucrats, and the producers of global consumer culture. As they struggle over the rules of use and access for natural systems, strange alliances and surprising divisions emerge. The politics of rule-making and rule-breaking in natural resource management is one of Professor Robbins' central concerns. Tracing the history and effects of rights to forest and pasture in Rajasthan, India, his research has demonstrated that neither the central state nor the local community is a necessarily superior manager of nature. Further, the research has shown that neither state nor local knowledge is monolithic but that they are instead both interwoven and divided across gaps formed in daily resource politics. For more on these question, see: The Aravalli hills in Rajasthan. Used by local herders, farmers, and adivasi "tribals" but also a site of ecotourist development.

The goal of this research is to use data analysis and GIS analysis to identify new locations for successful Section 8 tenant relocations in the Atlanta Metropolitan area. This work will provide an understanding of areas that do not currently possess a concentration of existing housing assistance recipients, but which maintain a standard of living concurrent with HUD and the metro housing authorities' goals for Section 8 relocation. Researchers will collaborate with local housing agencies to produce a data set of Section 8 clients including geographic mobility. They will then rate census tracts for appropriateness in locating Section 8 clients. The resulting template for measuring the quality of neighborhoods for Section 8 clients can be applied in other metropolitan areas.

More than 20,000 people left Hamilton County in the urban exodus of the Nineties - yet plenty of families found reason to stay and even move in. Excellent schools helped draw people to a number of communities that grew between 1990 and 2000, despite population losses all around them, an

Albert Ruger Thadeus Mortimer Fowler Oakley H. Bailey Lucien R. Burleigh ... Publishers of Panoramic Maps Albert Ruger (1829-1899) By 1866, Ruger had settled in Battle Creek, Michigan, where he began his prolific panoramic mapping career by sketching Michigan cities. Full descriptions of many Ruger views of Michigan cities are contained in John Cumming's A Preliminary Checklist of 19th Century Lithographs of Michigan Cities and Towns . Urban communities in some twenty-two states and Canada, ranging from New Hampshire to Minnesota and south to Georgia and Alabama, were sketched by Ruger. He continued his activity into the 1890s, moving his business to Chicago, Madison, and St. Louis as he sought new markets. In the late 1860s, Ruger formed a partnership with J. J. Stoner of Madison, Wisconsin, and together they published numerous city panoramas. Ruger was particularly productive during the 1860s; in 1869 alone, he produced more than sixty panoramic maps. In addition to city plans, he drew views of university campuses, among them Notre Dame, Shurtleff College, and the University of Michigan. Albert Ruger died in Akron, Ohio, on November 12, 1899. Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler (1842-1922) The Boston Public Library has six views drawn and published by Fowler in the 1870s. During that decade, he was employed as an artist by J. J. Stoner. Fowler moved from Madison around 1880 to northern New Jersey, first to the Oranges and later to Asbury Park. A panoramic map of Stewart, Ohio, which appears in D. J. Lake's

Where is Southwest Virginia?
Today, the southwestern edge of Virginia is Cumberland Gap. At one time, however, Virginia stretched much further west. After Virginia ceded its western land claims to the new national government in the 1780's, the southwestern edge of the state was on the Mississippi River. Kentucky became an independent state in 1792, so at that point Virginia no longer included the Cumberland River watershed west of the Allegheny Front. The shape of Virginia's western boundaries changed again after West Virginia became an independent state in 1863, leaving only a tiny portion of the Levisa Fork, Big Sandy, and Tug Fork watersheds in what became Southwest Virginia.
Source: National Biological Information Infrastructure Not all of the Virginia mountains are in the southwestern part of the state. However, the mountains are significant barriers to travel there - and the rivers run the wrong way. Well, "wrong" is a relative term, but most of Southwest Virginia is in the Tennessee River watershed. If you consider Pulaski, Giles, and Bland counties to be "Southwest Virginia," thenthe New River watershed still drains away from the Atlantic Ocean. So one way to define the region is by the Eastern Continental Divide, with all the lands west of the divide in Southwest Virginia.

Poverty Fact Sheet Series - Rural Poverty
HYG-5709-98
Introduction This fact sheet is one of a series of twelve fact sheets on poverty. Each fact sheet in the series addresses a different aspect of poverty and has a different title related to poverty. The information on each fact sheet stands alone. Also, the fact sheets can be used in combination with each other. Varying combinations of the fact sheets will provide a broader scope of information to different discussions on the complex issues of poverty. The fact sheets were developed to address a need for information on people in poverty, a growing segment of the nation's population. Quantitative and qualitative information have been included in the information on poverty in the United States. Poverty facts related specifically to Ohio have been given when the information has been available. Also, the statistics in the tables are the most current data available from national census sources and have been provided by Ohio State University Extension Section of Communications and Technology. Professionals and paraprofessionals who work with programs for people in poverty make up the intended audience for the fact sheets. Professionals and paraprofessionals may work with poverty populations and programs that have different titles such as Limited Resource Audiences, Ohio Works First, Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program, Family Nutrition Program and other titles. But, the fact sheets will be helpful as background information for people who develop policy, design educational programs, and deliver agency services to a variety of groups in poverty.

FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA Geography and regional characteristics
high temperatures on a given day in the United States to reach 70 degrees Fahrenheit (about 40 degrees Celsius). The United States owes much of its national character and its wealth to its good fortune in having such a large and varied landmass to inhabit and cultivate. Yet the country still exhibits marks of regional identity, and one way Americans cope with the size of their country is to think of themselves as linked geographically by certain traits, such as New England self-reliance, southern hospitality, midwestern wholesomeness, western mellowness. This chapter examines American geography, history, and customs through the filters of six main regions:
  • New England , made up of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
  • The Middle Atlantic , comprising New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland.
  • The South , which runs from Virginia south to Florida and west as far as central Texas. This region also includes West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and parts of Missouri and Oklahoma.
  • The Midwest , a broad collection of states sweeping westward from Ohio to Nebraska and including Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, parts of Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, and eastern Colorado.

Michigan can learn from Ohio on ways to fight sprawl
January 3, 1999 BY KEITH SCHNEIDER After the November election, Gov. John Engler was asked what distinguished the 1998 campaign from his two previous races. Engler responded that no overarching issue emerged, but everywhere he went people talked to him about sprawl. Indeed, after the Engler administration and Legislature spent years rolling their eyes at proposals to tame Michigan's ruinous patterns of development, the issue has finally landed squarely in their lap. Republican and Democratic lawmakers say curbing sprawl, rebuilding cities and protecting farmland are near the top of their legislative priorities, right there with education and taxes. But successfully converting Lansing's new interest in land use to useful policies will not occur without persistent advocacy, especially from Michigan's largest cities and older suburbs. These are the places suffering the gravest consequences from congestion, pollution, disinvestment and rising municipal costs caused by runaway growth in the countryside. Fortunately, a model for how Michigan cities and suburbs might organize themselves now exists in northeast Ohio. It is the First Suburbs Consortium, an alliance of 10 inner-ring Cleveland suburbs that is the first government-led advocacy organization in the nation to focus on halting sprawl.

http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~qds/dbio.html
Dr David McDonald - Profile
BACKGROUND Honours in Business Administration (Western Ontario), MA in Political Economy (Toronto), PhD in Political Science (Toronto) My academic background and interests are interdisciplinary in nature. Having started my studies in the natural sciences I completed a degree in economics and business at the University of Western Ontario. I then spent two years working in Botswana for an NGO before studying for an MA in Development Studies (a joint degree with Politics and Economics) at the University of Toronto. I continued at Toronto for my PhD in Political Science. My departmental affiliation at Queen’s is with the Geography department, where I do graduate supervision, and I have links with the Politics department as well. The bulk of my time, however, us spent as the Director of Development Studies where I teach and oversee all aspects of the programme. TEACHING INTERESTS My teaching interests cover a range of development themes. I have taught courses on environment and development theory, cities and globalization, environmental policy in the third world, international migration, third world politics and the regional geography of Southern Africa. I have also taught courses in the departments of political studies, geography, environmental studies and development studies. RESEARCH INTERESTS My second area of research interest is environmental justice, and is related directly to my interest in municipal services and urban poverty. My work in this area has both an applied and theoretical bent. On the applied side, I am interested in policy developments and legislative initiatives designed to bring about greater access to environmental 'goods' and a fairer/lower distribution of environmental 'bads'. On the theory side, I am interested in tensions over questions of race, class and gender, and the anthropocentric orientation of the environmental justice literature.
