Long Term Trends in Size Distribution of Eastern Hemlocks in West Michigan Dune Forests
Size distributions of trees often yield valuable clues about changing environmental conditions and the responses of populations to them. In a recent study, the size distribution of Eastern Hemlocks was measured in several forests near Lake Michigan to determine whether active recruitment into the population was taking place at a similar rate as in the past. The diameter at breast height as well as cores samples were taken for all hemlocks present in selected stands. Analysis found that the size distribution was strongly skewed toward the intermediate and larger tree size classes suggesting a failure of recent recruitment relative to that in the past. Experimental transplantation of hemlock saplings in select stands has yielded a possible link with herbivory due to the gradual increase of white tail deer populations as the primary cause of decline among hemlocks. Other studies in the Lake Michigan region, both inland and coastal, have documented a perceived decline in hemlock populations based on sample data and paleoecological trends. If the observed trend continues into the future, Eastern Hemlock will most likely continue to decline in density in these forests over the long term
The Man of Two Worlds: Léopold Sédar Senghor
Léopold Sédar Senghor grew up in a relatively calm colonial Africa, came of age in the excitement of World War Two and as a man helped create a sovereign Senegal. This research looks at forces of influence from his boyhood onward, to see how they shaped both his poetry and politics. The time Senghor spent learning and working in France is particularly highlighted, as it was a time of immense cultural growth for Senghor. The most influential parts of his time in France came from his involvement in and creation of the Négritude movement. This literary and idealogical movement inspired the writing of his poetry and led to his more moderate socialism, once he was involved in politics. This research also takes a closer look at how in his poetry, Senghor wrestled with reconciling African history to French culture and how that effected his foreign policy. In the end the study of his poems and politics exposes Senghor as a man from opposing cultures trying to find harmony between them
Love Is an Orientation: Dialogue about Christianity and Sexuality
When it comes to culture war issues, everyone has an opinion. Groups or institutions whose constituents are of mixed opinions find themselves in the middle and struggle with the tension created by these divisive issues. Hope College is not immune from the struggle, particularly regarding sexuality. This project serves as an experimental attempt to address the need for bridge building and conversation about sexuality as it relates to Christianity. The Love Is an Orientation DVD curriculum produced by the Marin Foundation was used as the instructional foundation of a series of workshops for students, with the purpose of addressing issues of sexuality in a safe, structured way. The workshops emphasized dialogue as an effective format of communication because its purpose is to allow people of diverse views to achieve understanding through a process of listening, reflecting, and sharing. Through these dialogue-driven workshops, students can engage people from a variety of backgrounds in conversation in order to better understand the way that sexuality and Christianity come together
