abstract:The southeastern United States has experienced rapid economic and population growth relative to the stagnation and decline of established manufacturing regions. The Rust Belt-Sun Belt literature has relied on a range of factors to explain southern growth (e.g., low wages, regional amenities, technological advances, market proximity, and the Civil Rights Movement). More recent work has cast growth in terms of bottom-up convergence and providing a conceptual framework consistent with the region's experience as the recipient of northern capital seeking a low-cost region. Within the region, uneven development remains. While the neoclassical framework can explain regional capital inflows, questions remain regarding how local and spatial contexts influence the trajectories of individual southern economies. To address these issues, this paper utilizes a conditional convergence model to explain southeastern county-level growth from 1990 to 2018 to understand how the balance of neoclassical processes and localized factors have affected the region's growth. Results highlight a transition away from low-cost manufacturing toward an increased importance of new, knowledge economy sectors. While new economy sectors are identified as significant drivers, results also suggest future challenges for sustained growth due to a suburbanized growth pattern, weak spillover effects, and a lack of urbanization economies.

At the end of each year, as the winter holiday season emerges, we are often drawn to stories from literature and film that address the value of human connection and community. From the reading of classic novellas to the viewing of numerous 1960s animated TV films rich in faded retro color, a common theme is about transformative events that promote wellbeing. The overarching message is clear in that it is possible to overestimate the perceived importance or value of material goods and underestimate the worth of community. Joyfulness is a shared experience. A supportive environment is invaluable. Based on our four years as an editorial team, we see parallels to these stories in what Southeastern Geographer means to authors far exceeds the journal’s metrics as a limited-volume, regional publication that only recently received an impact factor — a criterion so important for promotion and tenure at some institutions that some potential authors cannot risk publishing in journals without it. Yet, Southeastern Geographer consistently receives exceptional contributions from scholars at all career stages ranging from graduate students to well-established scholars studying topics relevant to the American South. In this issue alone, there are excellent contributions from an AAG Past-President, a SEDAAG Past-President, the current SEDAAG President, and from graduate students to established full professors. There must be more to the journal than just an impact factor that draws such exceptional scholarship to Southeastern Geographer . The journal’s success stems from substantial organizational support, a legacy of positive experiences, and an old-school publishing approach that creates a synergistic effect to elevate the attractiveness of Southeastern Geographer as a publication outlet.

abstract:This research applied a feminist geographical framework to analyze the significance of Kentucky in bell hooks' Black feminist theorization. Utilizing narrative inquiry and the constant comparative method to analyze her memoir, Bone Black, poetry collection, Appalachian Elegy, and a collection of essays called Belonging, the findings illuminate the conditions, interactions, and consequences of homemaking for the politics of location. These findings reveal the process of becoming a subject, suggest a feminist geographic approach as an alternative to more abstract understandings of margin and center, and provide a more nuanced understanding of the significance of movement and stillness in knowledge production. The article concludes by suggesting that Kentucky is central to hooks' feminist visions and theories.

abstract:Urban development alters landscapes and changes ecosystems. One of these changes is the homogenization of species, as specialist species are no longer able to survive. Wetlands are vulnerable to alteration and serve as habitats for specialized bird species. To investigate which human disturbances were related to differences in species composition and wetland specialization, we conducted species surveys at five wetland sites along an urban–rural gradient in Greensboro, North Carolina. We examined the relationship between avian community composition and disturbance variables using a partial least squares regression. We found that indirect disturbances such as impervious surfaces and commercial land use were negatively associated with wetland specialization. We suggest that effective wetland conservation in urbanizing areas must consider development in the surrounding landscape.

abstract:The southern Appalachian region is a hotspot of ecological biodiversity that is under increasing threat from climate change and rapid population growth. We posit that informal science education is uniquely adapted to foster environmental stewardship in the region, but the current state of informal science education within the southern Appalachians is poorly understood. We reviewed current informal science education centers (ISECs), which we define as centers for science learning outside of structured curriculum (n = 166). For each of these centers, we compiled information on geographical location, programs offered, and funding sources. We found large geographic gaps in ISEC coverage that often aligned with low-population, low-income counties. The most common program type in our dataset was field trips, followed by public programming, while research and virtual programming were the least often offered. ISECs that had funding from multiple organizations generally had the most diverse and robust programming.

abstract:The current research examined participants’ self-reported data from the SNAP-Ed program in 2018 and 2019 in eight target counties in northern Georgia. Store proximity clusters were explicitly described using the k-means clustering method. OLS regression models identified the relationship between shopping frequency and store proximity, preferred retailers, and car usage. There is a significant association between store preference and both the number of stores used and shopping frequency. However, the store proximity clusters, and car use were not significantly associated with the number of shopping trips. This study suggests that factors beyond proximity shape food access and shopping behavior.
