Sixty Years of Community: St. Olaf Catholic Parish in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, 1952-2012
No full textThis paper will explore how the parish community of St. Olaf in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, established in 1952, reflects the Roman Catholic Church, specifically at the local, state, and national levels in the United States. It will also discuss the various changes that have occurred in the past 60 years of its history in terms of the various locations of worship for the members, the growth of the community outreach programs, and the effects of the Second Vatican Council. This ecumenical council was a meeting of Catholic bishops from around the whole that brought reform to the Catholic Church and affected the relationship of the Catholic Church to the world. The parish at St. Olaf has grown from having only 125 families in 1952 to over 1,000 families in 2012
From Mansions to Towers: A History of Residence Halls at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire
No full textThe construction of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire's residence halls has generally followed that of the national trend. The school struggled to find enough funds to build residence halls in the early years. Eventually, student housing was in needed so badly that the school had no choice but to provide housing for the students. In 1947, the Dulany mansion was purchased and remodeled by the school. This building served as the University's first resident hall. Since then, eleven resident halls have been built on campus with one more being planned. Life in these residence halls have changed dramatically over time. In the 1960's, the students protested and eventually the strict rules of in loco parentis faded away. After this, students enjoyed the freedoms of new technologies, relaxed rules, and more professional housing leaders. Today, UW-Eau Claire is a thriving university. UW-Eau Claire has been recognized by many as a top school in the Midwest. Much of the success can be attributed to the residence halls and the happiness of the students. My paper will provide UW-Eau Claire and its students with a cohesive history of the residence halls on campus and will also show how student life has evolved since the University was first established
Interwoven: a historical examination of relational capital in the context of Shetland hand knitting and the barter economy.
No full textThe 19th century has been described as the most important period in the organisation and development of hand knitting in the Shetland Islands, yet it has received relatively limited research attention. The historical context of an economy based predominantly on the fishing industry, and labouring under an economic system comprised chiefly of barter, provides an important backdrop to the progression of hand knitting in the Shetland Islands. Fishing, a chiefly male economic pursuit, impacted on family life as men were absent from the Islands for long periods of time, with some never returning. In consequence, women sought vital economic opportunities and hand knitting was fitted around their daily activities. The organisation of Shetland hand knitting during this period has been described as 'casual to the point of disorganisation' (Fryer, 1995, p.23). When examined closely, however, knitters were able to develop exchange relationships across the Shetland Islands which meant that they could produce and sell hand knitted garments. This chapter adopts a historical perspective to examine Shetland hand knitting operations and supply chains in the 19th century and illustrates how relational capital was essential to survival
Transparency in fashion supply chains: examining the influence of country regulation.
No full textThe constant pressure on the fashion industry to achieve low costs and short lead times has led to sustainability shortcomings. Customers are increasingly demanding supply chain transparency (SCT) information, yet there is no consensus as to how such information can or should be provided. The influence of a country's supply chain regulation on SCT is also unclear. This chapter examines 20 fashion companies to ascertain whether companies headquartered in countries with supply chain regulation offer increased levels of SCT when compared with companies headquartered in countries with little to no supply chain regulation. Our findings show that while, in general, regulation does promote higher levels of SCT, there are examples of countries with little to no regulation that outperform those with higher levels of regulation. This finding may be counter-intuitive and demonstrates how the relationship between regulation and transparency in the fashion industry is not straightforward
Introducing fashion supply chains and operations.
No full textHow supply chains and operations create value are areas of research and practice that have long inspired debate. Responsible for ensuring the transformation of raw materials into finished goods, supply chains and operations are critical business functions. In the context of fashion, supply chains and operations are complex. In consequence, challenges related to sustainability, globalisation, configuration and ethics are often encountered. Fashion supply chains and operations are rapidly growing fields of research that inspire new discussions, opinions and approaches. The aim of the Handbook of Fashion Supply Chains and Operations is to curate leading research that contributes to these debates and furthers the research agenda
Claire Tham (1967-)
No full textAs an author, Claire Tham has this far been less concerned to observe the canons of English literature and more concerned to explore its creative possibilities and its adaptability. She also articulates a significant viewpoint about national and personal identity, about cultural tensions in a dynamic urban centre in transition, and about the.flip-side of Singapore’s prodigious prosperity
