A Struggle for Cherokee Community: Excavating Identity in Post-Removal North Carolina

The Cherokee Removal of 1838 was intended to remove all members of the Cherokee Nation to west of the Mississippi River. However, a small number avoided forced emigration. After the soldiers had left the region, many of these Cherokees sustained traditional practices in spite of increasing social and codified racism. The undefined status of the Cherokees in North Carolina at this time left them socially and economically marginalized. However, they also found ways to use this liminal space to their benefit. My research uses a combination of archaeological, documentary, and landscape data to investigate how one Cherokee family negotiated this new social terrain. The Welch family embraced alternative concepts of race, ethnicity, and gender to help maintain a traditional Cherokee community called Welch's Town in southwestern North Carolina. They adopted certain aspects of western culture, while maintaining some traditional Cherokee practices. Through this hybridity, they managed to maintain their farm and also their connections to and support of the Cherokee community on their land

The Ideology of the John Birch Society

This study is designed to examine and evaluate the basic beliefs and actions of the John Birch Society. It is not intended to determine the proper location for the Society on the American political spectrum, but to merely represent an opinion. An objective approach is intended, but the conclusion expresses a point of view, which, I hope, is clear and consistent enough to allow those who may disagree to take issue

Career networks : the use of personal and professional relationships by women administrators in the University of North Carolina system

The primary focus of this research investigated how women in academic administration used their personal and professional relationships, networking, for job acquisition and as a career advancement tool. The study examined the specific network characteristics used by women in top-level and middle-level administrative positions and delineated the similarities and differences in the networks of each hierarchical group. Findings explained the impact administrative level had on the perceptions, development, and usage of career networking by women in academe. The final sample consisted of 119 women (17 top-level administrators and 102 middle-level administrators) who were employed in the University of North Carolina system during the 1984-85 academic year. Eighty-eight administrators noted that they used personal and professional relationships in acquiring administrative posts. No other method of job acquisition was rated nearly as high as the reliance on network relationships. Data were gathered from a research questionnaire developed by the author. Descriptive statistics, i.e., Frequency distributions, tests of association, measures of central tendency, and measures of variability, were used to analyze the data
