International Symposium on Women in Asian Fisheries

International Symposium on Women in Asian Fisheries presents a record of the 1998 symposium. The fisheries sector has unique problems related to women, which have to be addressed not only from a technical standpoint but also from a social one. The symposium is aimed at stimulating discussion and promoting well-planned research and development activities in this area.Role of Women, Fisheries, Socioeconomics, Indochina, Mekong River, Philippines, Malaysia, Taiwan, India, Bangladesh, Asia,

THE ROLE OF COOPERATIVE EXTENSION IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: A STUDY OF SUCCESS STORIES AND LEADERSHIP PRACTICES

The Cooperative Extension System (CES) plays a vital role in community education and development across the United States. CES agents and specialists work directly with community members to identify needs, mobilize existing assets, and empower action. Despite the overlap in the fields of CES and community development, few studies have systematically analyzed the specific practices used by extension personnel who act as facilitators of change within communities. To address this gap in knowledge, a qualitative study was conducted using directed content analysis of CES success stories published through the University of Kentucky to identify practices used among two integral positions within CES: agents and specialists. These practices were examined through the theoretical frameworks of Grant and Hains’ Foundational Phases for Community Development and Bhattacharyya’s Theory of Solidarity and Agency (1995, 2004). Together, these frameworks provided a foundation for categorizing practices into the constructs of Solidarity, Capacity, Agency, and community development leadership, offering a lens for examining how CES personnel engage with and support the community development process. Understanding how extension faculty and staff act as community leaders to foster solidarity, build capacity, and promote agency can provide insights into effective community development strategies. Findings from this study expand on the understanding of the community development processes facilitated by CES agents and specialists by identifying practices derived from these frameworks. In addition, findings helped inform training and professional development for extension personnel on effective community engagement and leadership strategies aligned to solidarity, capacity, and agency outcomes

The Chester News April 29, 1919

The Chester News was a semi-weekly, later weekly continuation of the Semi-Weekly News established in 1913. The name changed to the Chester News in September 1917 retaining the number sequence of the Semi-Weekly News. In 1917 it was a semi-weekly Democrat newspaper. About 1942, it became a weekly paper. W. Ward Pegram and Stewart L. Cassells were the owner/publishers. W. Ward Pegram, Jr. took ownership after his father’s death and published the paper until September 1971 when it merged with the Chester Reporter to form the News and Reporter which is still in publication.https://digitalcommons.winthrop.edu/chesternews1919/1035/thumbnail.jp

Black neighbors : race and the limits of reform in the American settlement house movement, 1890-1945.

Settlement workers sought to reform American society in order to make it truer to its democratic ideals. They erected the seedling of modern social work, the social settlement, which uniquely combined social services and reform. Attentive to the daily concerns of their neighbors, settlement workers aimed at nothing short of total social transformation based on the revitalization of local communities. However, when black migrants from the rural South began to replace European immigrants in settlement neighborhoods during and after World War I, settlements responded by closing down completely, following their white neighbors out of the slums, conducting segregated activities, or only rarely, opening a separate branch or an independent black branch. This dissertation seeks to explain the failure of the mainstream movement to redirect its efforts toward the needs of its new black neighbors. It analyzes many settlement leaders\u27 belief in the amorality of black individuals and the deficiency of their culture. Settlement workers attempted to put into practice what they considered a cosmopolitan world view, yet its secular, urban, and Northern biases further inhibited their understanding of black culture and religion. Their liberalism ironically helped stall the translation of the settlement idea from immigrants to blacks. While the mainstream settlement movement failed to welcome blacks, other reformers did conduct settlement work in both urban and rural black communities in the North and South. School settlements, the YWCA, and independent black settlements all embodied the settlement\u27s marriage of social services and community revitalization. Some of this work influenced the broader movement toward civil rights and State responsibility for social welfare. Innocuous doctrines like industrial education and moralist womanhood veiled serious commitments to social change. This study describes a reform movement plagued and directed by racial tension. It provides evidence of the great impact of race on the history of the settlement movement from the Progressive Era to the 1940s, and reveals the importance of collective confrontation of issues such as racism and separatism in all efforts to bring about change in a pluralistic society

Sowing seeds : the daily press and the evolution of Tennessee\u27s agricultural extension service

This study examines how three Tennessee daily newspapers treated and reacted to the concept of teaching by demonstration, —educating farmers in their fields—the central idea that would lead to the formation of the Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service and others like it around the country. The study covers a 5 1/2-year period from January 1909 to June 1914, one month after the Smith-Lever Act formally established a national extension education system operated through the nation\u27s land grant universities. Chosen for this study were three of the state\u27s largest dailies. The Commercial Appeal in Memphis, the Nashville Banner, and the Daily Journal and Tribune in Knoxville. The study also looks at the evolution of Tennessee\u27s Agricultural Extension Service and farming conditions within Tennessee and the South during this time. The study found that the idea of teaching by demonstration gained strength in the press, especially as the newspapers began paying greater attention to children\u27s agricultural clubs. Coverage of the concept was often linked to events. More rapid acceptance and application of teaching by demonstration may have been hindered more by a legal restraint than by farmer indifference or hostility. Editorial reaction to the idea by all three newspapers was favorable and at times enthusiastic and perceived as a solution to poor farm performance. Although the University of Tennessee and the Federal Cooperative Demonstration Work program used demonstrations differently in teaching farmers, the press never compared or examined the two concepts
