Research in Progress
The Corps of Engineers Permit Appeals Process: An Investigation
of Fairness, Flexibility and Effectiveness (with Darrell Phillips
former graduate student). This paper was presented at SECOPA
and will be submitted to The Journal of Policy Analysis and Management.
Environmental Racism and the South: A Spatial Analysis (with
Rich Engstrom, Georgia State University) This research explores
the extent to which racism, poverty and a degraded natural environment
are entwined. And explores whether the South disproportionately
burdens minority neighborhoods with hazardous toxins and perpetuate
an insidious environmental racism? This paper was presented at
the Citadel Symposium on Southern Politics, March 2006 and will
be submitted to Social Forces.
Heritage, Hate, or Something in Between? An Analysis of Civil
War Reenactors. (with James Ladd former graduate student). This
study is being developed and will require a national on-line
survey of reenactors. The questionnaire is almost complete and
will go into the field, either late Fall or early Spring 2006.
The plan is to develop a book from this comprehensive survey.
