Abstract:

Thesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2012.
Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 45-50).
There has been a growing recognition in the conservation community that landscape-scale networks of preserves and habitat corridors are needed to adequately protect native biodiversity. While most of the efforts to protect land on this scale have occurred in rural environments dominated by resource lands, an increasing number of efforts are occurring in urban environments. These locales are characterized by biological and political fragmentation that complicate landscape-scale conservation. Chicago Wilderness, a voluntary network of 262 conservation organizations operating in the greater Chicago region, is one group undertaking this work. I use Chicago Wilderness as a case study to explore how voluntary conservation coalitions convince their membership to both adopt and implement regional conservation plans. I identify a number of barriers that prevent coalition members from collaborating and make the work of protecting biodiversity difficult; these include limiting factors like inter-organizational trust, funding, access to information, staff capacity, and political climate. Chicago Wilderness has sought to overcome these barriers by adopting strategies that prioritize information sharing, technical assistance, and relationship building, and that increase public involvement with biodiversity protection. I argue that Chicago Wilderness' mixed success across the region has been closely tied to the conservation strategies that it implicitly promotes. The coalition has been most successful in areas that are accepting of top-down, government-led conservation solutions like direct acquisition and land use regulation. The coalition has been less successful in areas-most often at the edge of the metropolitan area-where citizens and political officials value private property rights and limited government intervention. I conclude with suggestions on how Chicago Wilderness can increase its effectiveness and further promote biodiversity protection across the region.

Abstract:

While diversity is widely discussed throughout management literature, the impact of diversity management on diverse organizational members remains exceedingly sparse. Furthermore, the present case study uses a communication centered approach to address how diverse faculty member’s organizational experiences with diversity align with an academic institution’s publicly stated values of diversity. Through a critical interpretive lens, 15 semi-structured, in-depth interviews of diverse faculty members were conducted at a medium sized, Southern university (“Southern U”). Findings suggested that contradictions were heavily embedded into Southern U’s diversity communication resulting in a host of paradoxical tensions for diverse faculty members. This study explored the communicative constitution of organizations and how organizations constrain and enable diversity through communicative enactment.

Abstract:

Outward Bound stands out amongst the rest of the wilderness organizations not only for its time-honored contribution to the field of wilderness education, but for its fundamental process and theories which contribute to its success. Academic attention in the field of wilderness programs largely overlooks the role of organizational culture. To fill the gap in our knowledge, this study synthesizes the academic conversation on Outward Bound programs and integrates it with the most consistent findings about organizational culture. Interviewing the participants and instructors of a 72-day long Outward Bound course conducted in 2015 provides clear insight into the role of organizational culture on Outward Bound, its formation, management, and impacts, as well as overall course outcomes for participants. My research finds that the culture within organizations that are built to dissolve can create meaningful and lasting cultural shifts in its members including increases in interpersonal dimensions such as open-mindedness, patience and improved relationships, as well as in intrapersonal dimensions such as independence, confidence and motivation. Drawing on participant responses, I further find that the role of subgroups, conflict, and exclusion can be contentious, contributing to instability and division in organizational culture. Conversely, shared values, familial themes, and compassion can coalesce to unify the culture so strongly that all participants reflect back on the culture as net positive and their experience with Outward Bound as one of growth and positive transformation.

Abstract:

Outpost nurses are expected to function as both primary care providers and in a community health nursing role, to provide comprehensive primary health care in Canada's underserved northern and remote communities. However, little information exists informing us as to whether or how outpost nurses meet this expectation. The purpose of this study was to discover how experienced outpost nurses perceive and enact their role, and to explore the practical knowledge and clinical wisdom revealed in participants' practice narratives. Nine experienced outpost nurses participated in this study by sharing their stories of clinical practice. Data analysis was conducted in accordance with Benner's (1984; 1994) model of interpretive phenomenology, a research methodology that effectively preserved the unique context of outpost nursing practice. Four main themes emerged from the data and were interpreted within the context of practice: (a) primary care competencies are fundamental to outpost nursing practice, (b) nurses evolve into the outpost nursing role by learning community health competencies and adapting to context-specific practice issues, (c) experienced outpost nurses build and maintain responsive relationships with communities, and (d) experienced outpost nurses become comfortable with the autonomy and responsibility of practice. Paradigm and exemplary cases served to ground the interpretation in the data. The domains and competencies of outpost nursing practice thus revealed were then related to domains and competencies of nursing and nurse practitioner practice, using adaptations of frameworks developed by Benner (1984) and Brykczynski (1989), resulting in a preliminary conceptual framework of outpost nursing practice. A better understanding of the outpost nursing role has implications for outpost nursing practice and education and may provide direction for future research. Insight into the outpost nursing role may contribute to our understanding of evolving nursing roles, such as nurse practitioner and advanced practice nurse, which are currently the focus of much discord within the nursing profession in Canada. Ultimately, giving 'voice' to the nurses who live and work in remote northern communities may help to make visible the nature of their practice, and clarify how their role may best contribute to improving the health status of northern communities.

Abstract:

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
Expressions of German-American culture in Indianapolis reached a high point in the first decade of the twentieth century. Social clubs such as the Socialer Turnverein and the Maennerchor enriched the city’s cultural life through musical performances and athletic classes and provided a social outlet for their members. During this decade, these clubs played a large role in organizing two national festivals held in Indianapolis: a Turnfest (gymnastics festival) in 1905 and a Saengerfest (singing festival) in 1908. Examining the planning and implementation of the Turnfest and Saengerfest sheds light on how club leaders responded to their social and political environment at the beginning of the twentieth century, how the respective clubs’ members conceived of their ethnic and club identities, and how they represented these identities in the festivals.
