The Journey of Psychotherapy: Understanding Therapeutic Technique Through Ultralight Thru Hiking
No full textThis paper explores several principles of ultralight backpacking as metaphors for developing one’s therapeutic technique. The tenets of ultralight thru hiking, when interpreted through a clinical lens, offer early clinicians insight into the importance of moving through fear and leaning into exploration, discomfort, and authenticity while on the journey of becoming a therapist. The experiences of numerous thru hikers are synthesized into five principles: Don’t Pack Your Fears, Be Present for the Journey, Slow Simplicity, Embrace the Suck (and The Stink), and Trail Legs. These principles do not define ultralight as carefreeness but rather offer a metaphor for the careful sifting of one’s practice down to its essentials: the relationships formed both with others and with oneself
Utilizing Spatial Criteria to High-Grade Wyoming EOR Opportunities Along Proposed Pipeline Corridors: A Value Driven Approach
No full textOil and gas development has played a critical role in human civilization, and continues to bring drive economies around the world. One such economy is the state of Wyoming that has seen oil and gas production generally decline of the last several decades due to the depletion of high volume conventional reservoirs. A proven secondary technique such as CO2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR) may serve as a method to arrest declining production, and increase economic activity. Wyoming has recognized this opportunity, and has attempted decrease the barriers of entry for oil and gas operators to invest in field-level CO2 EOR operations by designating over 2,000 miles of pipeline corridors to major conventional oil and gas fields. This study seeks to rank, characterize, and identify key field-level CO2 EOR opportunities specifically along the proposed corridors. Fields were filtered to those within 20 miles of the proposed corridors, initially ranked by present value (PV) less estimated pipeline costs. High-graded fields were then further filtered and scrutinized until three final opportunities were identified: Opportunity A in the Big Horn Basin strings together three large fields for a ~5 billion dollar opportunity, Opportunity B in Scott Field in the Powder River Basin presents a ~700 million dollar opportunity, while Opportunity C in the Wyoming Thrust Belt offers a ~280 million dollar opportunity. All opportunities have identified threats an upside potential
Welcoming New Leadership and Elevating Collaboration
No full textThis editorial marks a pivotal transition for Collaborative Librarianship as Jesse Koennecke (Binghamton University Libraries) and Nina McHale (University of Denver Libraries) assume the role of co-editors, following the dedicated leadership of Chris Robinson-Nkongola and Carrie Forbes. The issue underscores the journal’s enduring mission to foster reflection, innovation, and connection within the library profession. Volume 15, Issue 1 highlights diverse examples of collaboration: the sustainability of Archives West through community-driven infrastructure; a metadata justice initiative addressing ethical challenges in descriptive practices; interdisciplinary co-instruction between archivists, librarians, and faculty; and creative engagement through showcasing student artwork in academic libraries. As an open-access publication, Collaborative Librarianship continues to provide a platform for sharing ideas and practices that advance collaboration across institutions, disciplines, and communities. This editorial invites ongoing participation and dialogue, reinforcing the journal’s commitment to elevating collaborative scholarship and practice in the evolving landscape of librarianship
Picturing the Victorian Revival of the Guitar: The Diary of Caroline Maud Berkeley (1859–1949)
No full textThe diary of Caroline Maud Berkeley née Tomlinson, compiled in thirteen sketch books from 1888 to 1901, offers the most extensive social record of guitar-playing to be found in any private document of the nineteenth century. This article, compiled with exclusive access to the original manuscripts, offers the first comprehensive digital record of more than twenty scenes of guitars in use, together with the accompanying diary text, which has never before been published in an authentic form. The diarist’s sharp eye for facial expressions and gestures, her radiant sense of color, and her keen sense of humor allow her to reveal, in a manner both incisive and engaging, the importance of guitar-playing in her life at the seaside resort of Sandown, on the Isle of Wight, just off the south coast of England. The guitar offered her a portable means to accompany her own amateur singing and the chance to share an interest with several young women who lived very close to her, for to Maud Tomlinson the guitar meant song, friendship and independence above all things. In text and image, the diary traces her activities from the struggles of her first lessons through to the assured public performances with a guitar trio that gave her quite as many opportunities to escape the parental home as her tennis racket and the bicycle she bought during the cycling craze of the 1890s. Above, all, the diary offers a uniquely vivid record of a revival of the guitar at precisely the time when the instrument is often supposed to have been on the verge of oblivion in Britain

Tensions in the Arctic: Avoiding Escalation
Full text linkThe Arctic has long been considered a place of peace and scientific cooperation largely unaffected by international tensions. In the past decade, however, climate change has made the Northern Sea Route (NSR) increasingly navigable, and its status as an important trade route in a time of recurring great power rivalry has increased tensions in the Arctic. Coupled with the Arctic’s strategic location for both Russia and the United States, this has led to the militarization of the region and fears of a security dilemma that could lead to escalation and conflict. This paper will focus on the eight Arctic states as well as China to analyze how their discourse, actions, and published Arctic Strategies present their priorities in the region and how those priorities can be addressed in recommendations for keeping the Arctic peaceful. It ultimately recommends that the Arctic Council begin considering issues of military security; that NATO defers to the Arctic Council on Arctic matters; that Russia governs the Northeast Passage as an official international strait with guidance from the Arctic Council; and that Canada governs the Northwest passage as an international strait
Meditation in Qualitative Research for Bracketing and Beyond
Full text linkIn this study, I recounted my experience using mantra meditation during a phenomenological study for the purposes of bracketing. The efficacy and purpose of bracketing have been debated from Husserl (1931), whose aimed was to achieve objectivity, to Heidegger (1962) who advocated for immersion of the researcher, through the French school (Merleau-Ponty, 1964) of middle ground, by whom bracketing was seen as the process to unearth and suspend biases for the better understanding of participants’ experiences (Arsel, 2017; Creswell & Creswell, 2017; Creswell & Poth, 2016; Fischer & Guzel, 2023). In this study, however, I propose another approach to bracketing that expands beyond phenomenology and the duality of objectivity or immersion. I propose that bracketing, with the aim of meditation is inseparable from qualitative research. Meditation, as a form of bracketing, provokes the researcher to be fully present ensuring that participants’ experiences are heard and interpreted in a faithful manner. In this orientation, the goal of bracketing is not to rid one’s subjectivity but to allow subjectivity to be diminished and the researcher to be fully present to the other
