Interpreting Settler Infrastructure in Stevens County, Minnesota: Gager\u27s Station and the Post Dakota-US War of 1862 Frontier
Get PDFGager\u27s Station is a little known, but formative settler infrastructure project from the 1860s in west-central Minnesota. Gager\u27s Station was situated along both an important military supply route, and lands of significant importance to the Indigenous people of the area. Gager\u27s Station bears several similarities to the scout camps and civilian defense forts in the broader Fort Wadsworth network that provided civilian defense to new homesteaders following the Dakota-US War of 1862. Fort Wadsworth served as another goal post in western expansion of the United States. Further, the networks of forts that supported it appeased the anxious settlers who feared Dakota uprising levels of reprisal from people who no longer lived in their settlements. The following is a synthesis of the historical and archaeological record of Fort Wadsworth network and how Gager\u27s Station fits into the broader goals of the colonial project in the upper Midwest.https://digitalcommons.morris.umn.edu/urs_2022/1000/thumbnail.jp

Explaining Democratization in South Korea: Comparing Movements in the 1980s
Get PDFThis paper seeks to analyze the reasons for democratization movements in the Republic of Korea (ROK) in the late 1970s/early 1980s and mid to late 1980s leading to different political outcomes and democratization success. The analysis will dive into the history and politics leading up to the 1980s, and the context of political movements historically, but will focus on the 1980s. It will trace the context of the early democracy movement leading to the Gwangju Uprising in 1980. Then, it will seek to understand the revitalized democratization movement that came to a head in 1987 in Seoul leading to the beginning of the democratic experiment apparent in South Korea today. This paper seeks to compare and contrast the difference in anti-government protestors/pro-democracy advocates’ and government action that led to completely different outcomes: one ending in a violent repression and the other in regime capitulation and reform. Understanding this within the South Korean case will improve our understanding of democratization in the face of state opposition and points to potential strategies in democratization within the realm of international politics
An Overview of Redirected Walking Approaches and Techniques in Virtual Reality
Get PDFOne major obstacle to the ideal of virtual reality is the physical constraints of the user’s location, primarily its limited size. A commonly proposed solution is using redirected walking, defined as manipulation of the user’s experience to alter their walking path, to keep the user within a confined physical space without causing any perceivable sensory distortion for the user. This paper discusses various redirected walking approaches which have been proposed, including predictions of user movement via navigation meshes and simulated users, and subtle redirection techniques using blink-induced change blindness and avatar manipulation
