A GIS dashboard was developed using data from the TN Department of Health to communicate state-wide COVID-19 spread, and a relationship between pandemic development and rurality was observed during the first wave (through September 2020), noted in other US and global research. Because > 90% of TN counties are designated rural or mixed-rural, we examined metrics to describe development as it relates to rurality. Metrics included days to the first case/hospitalization/fatality, days between state and county peak, and days to an incidence rate of ten per 100,000. Metrics were compared within different classes of rurality, using seven rurality classification schemes. Significant differences were noted in four of the five metrics between classes of rurality. Rural counties in TN experienced significant lags to the first case, hospitalization, and fatality, and the peak cases in rural counties were delayed relative to urban counties when outlier counties with early state prison outbreaks were excluded. In rural TN counties, regardless of rurality definition, cases, hospitalizations, and fatalities were slower to appear. However, once community spread was established, rurality no longer had a protective effect.","PeriodicalId":45528,"journal":{"name":"Southeastern Geographer","volume":"61 1","pages":"203 - 221"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43049116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our primary objective in this study was to develop a new fire history in the Potomac Highlands of West Virginia where published reconstructions are particularly sparse, but efforts to develop prescribed fire plans are on the rise. We produced a 293-year (1727–2019) post-settlement fire history from 57 yellow pine (P. pungens, P. rigida, and P. virginiana) trees spread across five topographically diverse sites on Short Mountain in Hampshire County. The filtered composite mean fire interval was 7–15 years at individual sites, while a landscape-scale analysis indicates that fire frequency did not change over nearly 160 years (1855–2011). Fires, however, were significantly less extensive during the \"exclusion era\" (post-1930). No conclusive relationships between drought and fire were identified, although the most extensive fire year (1930) was uniquely dry. These findings complement existing regional fire histories and provide a new context for the application of prescribed fire in the Potomac Highlands.","PeriodicalId":45528,"journal":{"name":"Southeastern Geographer","volume":"61 1","pages":"258 - 278"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48336511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we demonstrate that many people believe neither that such areas are greener nor that these are desirable places to live. Through brief photo elicitation interviews and a focus group, we examine the imaginary of “green city” in a politically conservative area. Our findings suggest residents do support environmentalism, and believe their local area embodies much of what it means to be “green”, including a strong sense of community, a lifestyle deeply connected to the local environment, and a desire to take part in sustainability initiatives. Big cities, in contrast, are imagined as both less green and less desirable places to live. We suggest that the dominant US American urban environmental imaginary remains alienating to many and reflect on the implications of these divergent imaginaries for environmental politics. Emphasizing the multiplicity of environmental imaginaries helps us to understand conservative areas not necessarily as anti-environmental but as articulating views that do not accord with dominant perspectives; this might also point us towards more diverse possibilities for sustainable futures.</p>","PeriodicalId":45528,"journal":{"name":"Southeastern Geographer","volume":"61 1","pages":"175 - 192"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/SGO.2021.0012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44334026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to these sites’ access to their “pre-transition” visitor base, they are uniquely positioned to “call in” visitors who tend to avoid the facts of slavery. Nonetheless, we argue that for these sites to be truly transformative, they must account for a range of factors. These include the role of epistemic self-reflection in narrative construction (to help avoid the reproduction of white innocence), and the ability to guide visitors through the discomfort generated by the new narrative (to prevent backlash and to keep visitors open to the narrative’s message). To make this argument we examine the case of the Oak Alley plantation in Vacherie, Louisiana, and offer brief instructive comparisons to Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello plantation in Virginia.</p>","PeriodicalId":45528,"journal":{"name":"Southeastern Geographer","volume":"61 1","pages":"111 - 129"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/SGO.2021.0009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45202187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Throughout 2016, 863 residents of Charlotte, North Carolina visited a museum exhibit and participated in a community dialogue program about Latinos in the “New South.” Drawing on survey data and participant observations collected from these individuals, this paper investigates what Latino and non-Latino participants’ comments tell us about individual and institutional receptivity landscapes. While Latinos and non-Latinos shared concerns about stereotyping and prejudice, receptivity is often experienced and understood differently amongst Latinos and non-Latinos. Still, immigration status and race/ethnicity are not necessarily predictors of receptive behavior. Receptivity plays out at different scales; people can perceive themselves as receptive and, at the same time, perceive institutions as unwelcoming or having mixed receptivity. Within this, documentation status is a recurring barrier to receptivity. Since receptivity is malleable, intentional initiatives and spaces created with Latinos can help Latinos feel more welcomed. Charlotte and the South can be more receptive by suggesting specific individual actions, ensuring our institutions reflect the populations they serve, and building Latino and non-Latino alliances. Our findings further the understanding of how to conceptualize, measure, and shape receptivity.</p>","PeriodicalId":45528,"journal":{"name":"Southeastern Geographer","volume":"61 1","pages":"146 - 174"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46233589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
