Hartford Hill Winery, 2018
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/wineryneinland/21/thumbnail.jpgSituated on a hill with picturesque views of the rural countryside of Trumbull County and constructed from two reclaimed barns, this location opened its doors in 2015. Inspired by the success of other area wineries, Randy and Carolyn Wyand developed a plan to establish a vineyard and winery on property that they had owned and enjoyed for over twenty-five years. Planted on the site are several popular cold-hardy grape varieties such as Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Merlot, and Chardonnay. The winery offers a mix of sweet to dry wine and the 5,500 square-foot barn is available for a variety of special events.</p

Toward a sociology of autism and neurodiversity
No full textDiscourse related to autism studies are multidisciplinary, applied, and extensive. Pulling from multiple disciplines and calling for interdisciplinary collaborations, I begin to construct a review of research relevant to move toward a sociology of autism and neurodiversity. I argue that sociology is positioned to utilize its epistemological and phenological strengths to provide insight as well as fill in gaps in the literature related to autism studies. I address controversies and provide structural context to the sociocultural history of the autism and neurodiversity. From Kanner and Asperger through to the DSM-5, I outline the evolution and social construction of autism and identify sociological programs of scholarship that continue to shape (and be shaped) by understanding autism and neurodiversity. Using theoretical contributions rooted in social psychological principles of symbolic interaction, such as mind, self, solidarity, and stigma—I address how sociology is shaping scholarship related to autism and address interdisciplinary critiques of these programs. I highlight how the next generation of scholars are formulating the cutting-edge issues for the future of research within these areas and emphasize that research programs should center work on improving the lived experiences of those on the spectrum.</p

Border Spaces: Visualizing the U.S.-Mexico Frontera
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/facultybooks/117/thumbnail.jpgThe built environment along the U.S.-Mexico border has long been a hotbed of political and creative action. In this volume, the historically tense region and visually provocative margin—the southwestern United States and northern Mexico—take center stage. From the borderlands perspective, the symbolic importance and visual impact of border spaces resonate deeply.In Border Spaces, Katherine G. Morrissey, John-Michael H. Warner, and other essayists build on the insights of border dwellers, or fronterizos, and draw on two interrelated fields—border art history and border studies. The editors engage in a conversation on the physical landscape of the border and its representations through time, art, and architecture.The volume is divided into two linked sections—one on border histories of built environments and the second on border art histories. Each section begins with a “conversation” essay—co-authored by two leading interdisciplinary scholars in the relevant fields—that weaves together the book’s thematic questions with the ideas and essays to follow.Border Spaces is prompted by art and grounded in an academy ready to consider the connections between art, land, and people in a binational region.</p
Controversies in American Federalism and Public Policy
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/facultybooks/119/thumbnail.jpgThis interdisciplinary collection presents a scholarly treatment of how the constitutional politics of federalism affect governments and citizens, offering an accessible yet comprehensive analysis of the U.S. Supreme Court’s federalism jurisprudence and its effect on the development of national and state policies in key areas of constitutional jurisprudence. The contributors address the impact that Supreme Court federalism precedents have in setting the parameters of national law and policies that the states are often bound to respect under constitutional law, including those that relate to the scope and application of gun rights, LGBT freedoms, health care administration, anti-terrorism initiatives, capital punishment, immigration and environmental regulation, the legalization of marijuana and voting rights.</p
The Aria That Created a Legacy
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/node/9872/8772-thumbnail.jpgAntonin Dvořák’s operas, while well-loved in Czechoslovakia, were almost completely unknown in the United States until recent years because they were often considered musically and stylistically confused. Rusalka, his most renowned opera in Czechoslovakia, did not premiere on the popular stage until the Metropolitan Opera’s production in 1993 which featured acclaimed Czech singer Gabriela Beneckova. After many mediocre reviews, it did not appear again on the Met stage until 1997 when Renee Fleming played the title role. This paper draws from press reviews to argue that Renee Fleming and her performance of the well-known aria “Song to the Moon” are responsible for the opera’s prosperity in the United States. It also hypothesizes that success can be achieved not only through a complete, well-produced work of art, but also in the ability of a leading lady to carry a production.</p
Mobilization in Response to Workplace Harassment: Lessons from One University Setting
No full text/sites/default/files/journals/5/articles/208/submission/thumbnail.jpgWe examine experiences of and responses to harassment in one university setting. Data come from a 2011 survey of 338 faculty at a mid-sized land grant university (LGU). While rates of harassment at LGU do not vary considerably from those found elsewhere, rates of mobilization in response to harassment differ quite dramatically from those found in prior studies. Nearly all (97.8%) of those who experienced harassment reported having spoken with someone about their experience, be it human resources, a union representative, a family member, a friend, or some other source of support. Findings from the survey, based on analysis of responses to open- and closed-ended harassment questions, suggest that institutions should consider targeting supportive others for training, prevention, and awareness-raising. Programming in bystander intervention is also recommended.</p
