abstract:Historically, dense vegetation cover near buildings has caused power disruptions during weather phenomena. These types of severe storms impact the coast of Florida each year. However, challenges exist for obtaining both power outage data and calculating the impact of tree cover. NASA's Nighttime Lights, Black Marble, VNP46 product is utilized to analyze the natural and built environments. One aspect of the built environment that can be mapped with the Black Marble data is the megawatts of electricity used by the electrical power grid based on the magnitude of emitted nighttime light energy. This paper discusses using Black Marble data and other landscape variables within a probabilistic model to examine spatial patterns and map electricity outages with Bayesian networks. The research results indicate a high probability of a significant power outage when dense vegetation is present, but nuances in our natural and built environments like electric substations and land cover type alter the chance of reducing energy emissions.

abstract:In May 2018, exceptional flooding and subsequent landslides devastated western North Carolina. This growing region, with strong tourism and agriculture sectors, is projected to experience a greater risk of water-related threats due to rapid population growth and increased climatic variability. Recent events highlight the need for communities to have a better understanding of flooding and landslides to inform proactive policies for risk mitigation in western North Carolina. Through phone interviews with key informants from a variety of sectors in Buncombe and Watauga counties, we evaluated stakeholder experiences and perceptions relating to flooding and landslide events in 2018. Content analysis of those interviews highlighted environment and emergency response as common themes—revealing interests and concerns—among key informants. Other common themes include flooding risk, vulnerability, and mapping programs. Themes vary by county, highlighting the importance of local context with natural disasters. Stakeholders across all sectors placed significant emphasis on communication both within agencies and with the public. Identifying key themes illustrates gaps and concerns with communication. Armed with awareness of these gaps, policymakers may be better equipped to address policy shortcomings; communities can build on local experiences and expertise to prepare for future natural hazards.

abstract:Historic preservation and race are inextricably linked in the US. The questions of what to preserve as historic sites, how to interpret these histories, and how to unearth marginalized, often racialized histories at existing historic sites have been taken up by numerous scholars. However, despite this vital attention to the buildings and indoor educational spaces of public historic sites, there has been a dearth of investigation in public history scholarship into the outdoor spaces: the supposedly neutral landscapes that surround preserved or reconstructed buildings. In this article, I draw on cultural geography and geographies of memory to argue that historic site landscapes, far from being neutral backdrops, are vital to examine for the ways in which they construct a version of history in place. Through semi-structured interviews, textual analysis, and participant observation at three state historic sites in central North Carolina, I examine historic site landscapes as spaces of compromise and denaturalize a visual genre of historic site landscapes that is not racially neutral.

abstract:Thirteen semi-structured interviews provided qualitative data regarding residential selection by same-sex couples in North Carolina. Ambivalence about queer enclaves, the intersection of life factors, and the social context of neighborhoods were highlighted. The importance of the intersection of race and sexuality was especially prominent in the data. The social meaning of place is considered, including physical symbols such as yard signs, banners, and flags. There was no one grand narrative vis-à-vis sexuality and residential selection, and intersectional approaches are critically important to telling queer stories.

abstract:This paper explores the relationship between museums and race by engaging with how Black communities (and their histories and art) are represented at cultural and historical institutions in Kansas City, Missouri (KCMO). Public institutions like museums are important places for understanding the histories and cultures of various social groups and have historically maintained white visions. Through an examination of the textual and visual components of the exhibits, we observed the representation of Black histories, cultures, and individuals within museum storytelling and how these representations either upheld or challenged white visions. We find that KCMO institutions presented visions of whiteness in their storytelling, but our research also reveals that these KCMO museums show an effort to highlight and celebrate Black individuals and communities through affirmative and contextualized narratives. We also find, however, that this affirmative vision continues to marginalize Black women in storytelling. These museums that have taken the first steps towards decentering whiteness must continue this process to ensure that KCMO institutions are inclusive and tell the most complete stories. While decentering whiteness is an ongoing process, the challenges to white visions in KCMO cultural institutions show promise and exemplify a positive trend in the museum field.
