  • Assessing Contention: Understanding Nuclear Waste Storage Opposition in the U.S. and Canada

    Creator:
    Rubenstrunk, Rebecca
    Abstract:
    Attempts to site nuclear waste storage facilities are highly contentious. Given that nuclear related facilities are the most commonly opposed types of proposed land uses, one might expect to observe strong contentious interactions between proponents and immediate community members. In some cases, what is expected is not necessarily observed; why?...

  • The relationship between income and food insecurity : the role of social support in rural and urban Oregonians

    Creator:
    De Marco, Molly M.
    Abstract:
    Millions of U.S. households experienced hunger in 2005 and millions more experienced food insecurity. Previous research indicates that low-wage work and little social support contribute to food insecurity. Research also suggests that individuals cope by finding alternate food sources and drawing on social support. Further, researchers have found that rural...

  • Predicting county-level food insecurity and hunger in Oregon

    Creator:
    Grussing, Jay D.
    Abstract:
    Oregon’s high hunger and food insecurity rates have been a concern throughout the last decade. These high rates earned Oregon the dubious distinction as the most food insecure with hunger state in the late 1990’s. While Oregon’s ranking has improved in recent years, our understanding of why Oregon ranked so...

  • Retirement-age migration to and from Oregon : who is still on the Oregon Trail?

    Creator:
    Gagnier, Cliff R.
    Abstract:
    Oregon, much like the nation, has historically had a paradoxical relationship to migration. Oregon is famous for the Lewis and Clark expedition and the Oregon Trail. It is, and always has been, greatly affected and inspired by interstate migration yet each successive generation has been less than welcoming to further...

  • A Culture of Resilience: Social Capital and Climate Adaptation in Post-Flood Boulder County

    Creator:
    Shepard, Stephanie
    Abstract:
    Scientists say that climate change is very likely to cause more frequent and more severe weather events. In order to understand how communities respond to changing weather patterns, an exploration of the connection between extreme weather events and climate change awareness, collective action, and policy is warranted. This case study...

    Creator:
    Vandeventer, Alexia
    Abstract:
    Since the 1990s the U.S. and especially the Western U.S. have experienced more intense and costly fires. To help address this problem government agencies are increasingly looking at homeowners in fire-prone landscapes to mitigate fire risk. Part of this effort involves communicating risk and understanding how residents perceive risk. This...
