Race and Diversity: What Have We Learned?

Our review presents two arguments. First, diversity, as an object of analysis and desired institutional characteristic, is dynamic, unstable, and, above all, historically and geographically contingent. Studies of diversity, and efforts to create it, must begin from this observation. Second, we argue for diverse methodological and epistemological approaches but ones that are linked through a shared commitment to examining race and racism, diversity and inequalities, simultaneously.

Representing Urban America: 19th-Century Views of Landscape, Space, and Power

Environment And Planning D: Society And Space, Feb 1, 1993

A major shift in the genre of urban representation from 'pictorial* to 'bird's-eye' views is presented as capturing the story of an emerging industrial-capitalist order; as embodying the place of the individual within that order; and as actively legitimating/promoting particular visions of change and progress. Interpreting urban views illustrates the problematic nature of representation and the need to examine particular landscapes/representations within their cultural contexts.

Locating contradictions in canonical geographies

(2012) challenges the distinction made between texts as ‘canonical’ or ‘classic’ to call for interrogating texts as interventions in broader disciplinary conversations, highlighting their place in mediating disagreements, challenges, contradictions, and the power relationships of intellectual and disciplinary winners and losers. This is especially important for graduate education, as a critical site where we construct the discipline’s dominant narratives and socially reproduce ourselves.

A Methodological Framework for Interpreting Ordinary Landscapes: Lexington, Kentucky's Courthouse Square*

Geographical Review, Jul 1, 2009

ABSTRACT This article examines Lexington, Kentucky&#39;s Courthouse Square as a racialized la... more ABSTRACT This article examines Lexington, Kentucky&#39;s Courthouse Square as a racialized landscape in order to illustrate a methodological framework for landscape interpretation that relies on historical geographical understanding. That framework ultimately calls for interpreting the place of landscape in everyday social practice by drawing on consideration of landscape&#39;s role in facilitating or mediating social practice and in expressing personal and regional place-based identities, and on historical description of the tangible, visible scene as the foundation for such interpretations. The framework and the example take inspiration from D. W. Meinig, through his work concerning the interpretation of ordinary landscapes as well as his more extensive considerations of historical geographies of the American experience.

Belonging through Land/Scape

It is focused empirically upon people who often have been written out of ‘belonging’, precisely through land and landscape. The examples presented are not intended simply to unmask the ideological undergirdings of land and landscape but, rather, to raise the possibilities for an oppositional politics of belonging in which land and landscape figure as the practical stage upon and through which citizenship and community can be practiced. The conclusions are directed toward grounding concerns for belonging-as-social-justice, which, in these cases, is an incremental achievement, eked out of daily existence, and largely-but not always-in response to dominant social, political, economic, and cultural practice.

The Place of Landscape: A Conceptual Framework for Interpreting an American Scene

Annals of The Association of American Geographers, Dec 1, 1997

The particular landscape is presented as the tangible, visible articulation of numerous discourses. Several examples of a "discourse materialized" in the landscape-landscape architecture, historic preservation, neighborhood associations, insurance mapping, zoning, consumption-are employed to demonstrate how the landscape at once constricts and is constructed by individuals who live in a particular place. U.S. cultural landscapes ultimately are viewed as material phenomena, reflective and symbolic of individual activity and cultural ideals, as they simultaneously are central to the constitution and reinforcement of those activities and ideals.

The Entrepreneurial City: Fabricating Urban Development in Syracuse, New York

Our analysis integrates the role of the local state in assuming the financial risk for a redevelopment project with an understanding of the meanings and role of a fabricated ~dtural landscape in ensuring the success of the project. We argue that the urban landscape is fundamentally embedded and implicated in the ongoing political economy of American urban places.

A historical geography of central New York: Patterns and processes of colonization on the New Military Tract, 1782-1820

In 1782 the Revolutionary New York legislature optimistically earmarked a large block of Iroquois territory in the central part of the State for future disbursement to New York soldiers in Washington\u27s Continental Army. By 1820, that block had been enlarged to almost two million acres, known colloquially as the New Military Tract , and had been acquired from the Indians, systematically surveyed and subdivided, balloted and distributed, bought by speculators, and served as the framework for the first effective settlement of the area by Euro-Americans. Colonization of the Tract was implemented and first orchestrated from places external to the Tract itself, by eastern interests and individuals. Eventually, threshold populations within the Tract itself were able to effect and alter spatial order suitable to local needs and demands. The Euro-American colonization of the Tract was undertaken by people who (1) brought with them regional cultural values and ways of life, especially from New England and Pennsylvania, (2) interacted with and formulated adaptations to a new environment, and (3) continually integrated the newly opened territory with a developing American core region focused primarily on a New York-Philadelphia axis. The end of the pioneer period in the New Military Tract was formalized through the completion of the Erie Canal in 1825. At that time many patterns of the Tract\u27s settlement landscape were virtually indistinguishable from the rest of upstate New York. However, the seemingly ephemeral New Military Tract survey grid is more than simply a convenient framework for historical geographical study. The processes of colonization in the New Military Tract distinguish that part of central New York from surrounding land development schemes and are crucial to a full understanding of the colonization of central New York during an often-overlooked era
