Para tanto, explora-se estudos de caso em associações de produtores orgânicos no sul de Minas Gerais, onde encontramos o que denominaremos de -neorurais locaisII, ou seja, os que já viviam da produção no campo, mas se - converteramII a um tipo de manejo ecológico e os -neorurais forasteirosII, advindos de grandes centros urbanos em busca de um estilo de vida mais harmônico e sustentável em meio à natureza. As associações selecionadas para a pesquisa encontram-se na Serra da Mantiqueira, na microrregião de Pouso Alegre e são elas: Serras Verdes (município de Córrego do Bom Jesus), Orgânicos da Mantiqueira (município de Gonçalves), APANFÉ- Associação de Produtores de Agricultura Natural de Maria da Fé (Maria da Fé) e ECOMINAS- Associação de Produtores Ecológicos do Sul de Minas (com sede em Pouso Alegre, congregando produtores de variadas cidades da região). Como demonstrará o trabalho, são diferenciadas as motivações que levam esses dois tipos de atores sociais a buscarem tais associações, que apesar de se constituírem como lócus de negociações e disputas de múltiplas visões de mundo, possibilitam a convivência dessas pessoas em torno de objetivos comuns, como os de produzir ecologicamente e viabilizar a comercialização de sua produção de forma justa e sustentável. Para além disso, -ser orgânicoII é uma característica que unifica estas diferentes identidades, ganhando destaque em determinados contextos: a do produtor orgânico independentemente de sua origem e classe social / Abstract: This paper intends to describe how the organic agriculture over the years, has been including new producers. Those individuals are motivated to explore new ways to work in the rural life; despite they have many different reasons for doing it. In order to do so, we can analyze the case study in organic producers associations at South of Minas Gerais. There we can find the - neorurais locais (local neorurals)II, which are the individuals that already lived from the work at field, but converted they techniques to the ecological purpose, also the - neorurais forasteiros (foreigner neorurals)II, that arrived from the big urban center areas looking for sustainable and natural lifestyle. The associations selected to the research are located at Serra da Mantiqueira, in the micro-region of Pouso Alegre city. They are: Serras Verdes (city of Córrego do Bom Jesus), Orgânicos da Mantiqueira (city of Gonçalves), APANFÉ- Associação de Produtores de Agricultura Natural de Maria da Fé (Maria da Fé) and ECOMINAS- Associação de Produtores Ecológicos do Sul de Minas (located at Pouso Alegre city, but they consolidate producers from several cities at the region). This paper intends to demonstrate they are many different reasons for each social group to look into the associations, which are far beyond than just a simple business and exchange ideas locus. It also enables the two different groups to stand around them common purposes: the ecological production, and to trade their production fairly but yet, sustainable. Moreover, - be organicII is one of the characteristics that unify those different identities, putting all other contexts aside and giving attention to what really matters: the organic producer, besides their origin and social class / Doutorado / Ciencias Sociais / Doutora em Ciências Sociais

Reunidos, atualmente, em torno da associação Cooperafloresta, esses agricultores tiveram contato com diversos ativistas, pesquisadores e cientistas, entre eles um dos sistematizadores do conceito de agrofloresta, Ernst Götsch, em 1996. A pesquisa buscará, portanto, compreender, do ponto de vista desses agricultores e agricultoras, os aspectos econômicos, sociais e simbólicos que permeiam a prática do cultivo de florestas, e de que forma tal prática se constitui e se insere num diálogo entre ciência e tradição, entre transnacionalidade e localidade, entre cultura letrada e cultura oral. Trata-se, portanto, de focalizar a imbricação do conhecimento tradicional e da ciência alternativa oferecida pela agroecologia, com ênfase na produção intelectual de pesquisadores das agroflorestas, nas representações da população local sobre a natureza ¿ vegetais, animais, solos e outros aspectos ¿, buscando mapear suas convergências, dilemas e eventuais conflitos / Abstract: This project aims to analyze different ways family farmers appropriate agroforestry techniques and narratives at Barra do Turvo, in Vale do Ribeira, state of São Paulo. Over time, these farmers that presently form the association Cooperfloresta have been in contact with many activists, researchers and scientists, including Ernst Götsch, himself one of the main systematizers of the agroforestry concept, whom they met in 1996. It is our goal to understand, from the point of view of these farmers, the economic, social and symbolic aspects of the practical cultivation of forests, and in what way this practice constitutes itself through, and is included in, a dialogue between science and tradition, transnationalism and locality, learned culture and oral culture. To this end, we focus on the interconnections between traditional knowledge and the alternative science put forward by agroecology, with special emphasis on the intellectual work of agroforestry researchers, and the local people's representations of nature - plants, animals, soil and other aspects - while striving to chart their convergence, dilemmas or possible conflicts / Mestrado / Antropologia Social / Mestre em Antropologia Social

<p>Black Americans living in rural regions of the U.S. are an underserved and under-researched population in the mental health field. Health and wellness disparities in Black populations are consistently documented as far worse than in White populations. Yet, the effects of low density of Black people living in predominantly White rural communities is unknown to mental health professionals and researchers alike. This study aimed to fill gaps in the literature concerning effects of Black density and city population on community attachment, place attachment, and subjective well-being, as well as community and place attachment’s effects on subjective well-being. Using a secondary dataset titled Soul of the Community [in 26 Knight Foundation Communities in the United States] (Gallup International, Inc., 2009), it was discovered that Black density alone had no significant relationships with any other variables, but the interaction of Black density and city population negatively predicted place attachment. In addition, community and place attachment both positively predicted subjective well-being. These results indicate that where people live matters and has a significant impact on their attachment to their physical surroundings. In addition, one’s connection to community and place are vital contributors to subjective well-being. Clinical implications can be drawn from this study pointing to the importance of clinical awareness regarding rurality, racial density, and community and place attachment. Moreover, clinicians can assess for these factors in the therapy room and encourage clients to explore their own communities.</p>

This ethnography of white farmers and industry workers considers the interconnections of privilege and property through farming and how white farmers and industry workers justify and explain existing disparities in who farms and who does not. Data for this ethnography is from semi-structured interviews with white farmers and industry workers, participant observation at agricultural events, and analysis of relevant materials published by agricultural organizations. The stories that white farmers and industry workers tell and share to explain white rural wealth related to agriculture and whiteness in farming ignore the ways in which property was and is distributed in the U.S. from the arrival of the first white Europeans until now and instead rely on individually centered explanations rooted in the ideology of the American Dream and colorblind racial ideology.

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a major problem in the United States. There are many health concerns associated with IPV (e.g. chronic pain, gynecological problems), leading researchers to examine the detection and management of IPV in primary care settings. However, a disproportionate amount of this research has focused on the detection and management of IPV in urban primary care clinics, with the detection and management of IPV in rural primary care being largely understudied. The current study addresses this gap in the literature by describing the screening practices and barriers to screening reported by rural providers as well as differences in rural and urban providers in regards to amount and type of barriers reported. Eighty-seven primary care providers (47=Rural) were surveyed about IPV screening practices and barriers to screening. Providers identified barriers related to both professional issues and personal beliefs. There were no significant differences in rural and urban providers in regards to number and type of reported barriers. Implications for the management of IPV in rural primary care settings are discussed.

The purpose of this qualitative research study was to determine where the need for a sports education program exists in the rural areas of Southeastern Tennessee. The problem was to define key elements needed to establish a curriculum and a leadership process for the adults involved in youth sports. Twenty-three youth sports directors were interviewed. The youth sports directors in this study perceived a child-centered program along with sportsmanship, character, responsibility, rebuilding participation, and the impact of a role model as the guiding principles for the mission of any youth sports program. Other emergent themes included curriculum topics such as rules and fundamental skills of each sport, safety and health issues, security, communication and teaching methods, conflict management, how to deal with adversity, and organization skills. The retention of top coaches and leaders in youth sports is important. The perceptions of the 23 sports directors in rural Southeastern Tennessee programs are vital in clarifying the sports educational needs for coaches and leaders. Sports education clinics and forums, as well as ongoing training, allow opportunities for directors, commissioners, coaches, and other community leaders to meet and discuss issues that are essential to providing the best experience for children while continuing to retain the best leaders and supporters of the programs. The implication from this study is that communities and higher education institutions should also consider the training and preparedness of future youth sports leaders to be successful beyond the x's and o's. Attention should be paid to the differences in communities that have a sports education program in place and those that do not and the support of community leaders for a youth sports program.
