Vukovic, Laurel. “Total Wellness Guide”. Better Nutrition (September, 2009). 34-38.

As the title states, this article gives advice about how to be well. As a result, the reader gains an understanding of what wellness means.  Because I want to explore people’s ideas about wellness, it is extremely important that I have an understanding of the working definition of wellness. This article gives the reader tips to gain energy, have less stress, and lose weight.  The author advises taking many vitamin supplements for different purposes.  Furthermore, sleep, diet, and exercise are very important parts of being well.

Hodge, David R., Limb, Gordon E., Cross, Terry L. “Moving from Colonization toward Balance and Harmony: A Native American Perspective on Wellness”. Social Work Vol. 54, No. 3 (July 2009). 211-219.

This article gives the Native American definition of wellness: balance and harmony between spirit, body, mind, and context or environment.  The article places an emphasis on mental health, which can only be achieved, as the authors state, through balance and harmony between the interconnected areas of self.

Gee, Gilbert C., Payne-Sturges, Devon C. “Environmental Health Disparities: A Framework Integrating Psychosocial and Environmental Concepts”. Environmental Health Perspectives, Vol. 112, No. 17 (December, 2004). 1645-1653.

Minorities bear the burden of environmental hazards while the majority has a not-in-my-back-yard attitude toward the issue. The authors believe that this is not the only reason for differences in mortality rates and general health issues.  They have a more mind-over-matter paradigm and propose that the difference is actually due to psychosocial stress.  They concede that environmental hazards are not good for people or the environment, but they believe that the reason groups are differentially susceptible to health hazards is due to stress.  This is an interesting article because it exposes the flipside of my project interests.

Custer, Marcia. “Stress, Life Events, and the Epidemiology of Wellness”. Journal of Community Health Nursing, Vol. 2, No. 4 (1985). 215-222.

In an effort to bridge the “gap between research and practice”, the author explores areas of preventative care related to stress management and illness as well as clinical practice based on the standing research.  The author defines stress as, “those variables that require organisms to effect some modification in order to maintain homeostasis.” Stress can come in many forms.  I may discover that some individuals are affected by environmental stressors and are actively trying to manage that stress.

This pamphlet follows the story of a jazz band in Charleston and I feel like it would be helpful to me considering I am trying to learn more about jazz culture here in the city.  I think knowing more about the personal worlds of some of the musicians would be good insight into that culture.

This article is outdated (written in 1947) but it takes a look at jazz music and race in America from a perspective of an educated white man of that time period, its an interesting paper that I think is useful in that it helps me see in the perspective of that time.

O’Meally, Robert G. The Jazz Cadence of American Culture. New York: Columbia University Press, 1998.

Chapter 24 of this book is jazz and american culture and is one of the few books I have found thus far to talk about jazz and the culture that is associated with it.  Chapter 28 discusses constructing the jazz tradition, also helpful in learning more about the ways if jazz culture.

Panish, Jon. The Color of Jazz: Race and Representation in Postwar American Culture. Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, 1997.

This book will be helpful because it looks at the role jazz has played among different races over time and what it means to different groups of people.  I think it will aide me in understanding people’s (whom I interview) stories when I ask them about what jazz means to them.

Ward, Geoffrey C. Jazz: A History of America’s Music. New York: Random House, 2000.

This book will help me in understanding the history of jazz, especially in America (where it seems to have developed first).  Also, I am trying to delve more into the history of where jazz came from and where and how the culture attached to it has developed and this books goes through its birth and stages throughout the country.

-This article illustrates the everyday things that “normal” children take for granted that challenge children with disabilites. The issue of dividing children with disabilites does not end with sports, I know from personal experience (having a family member with down syndrome) that a lot of schools seperate children for lunch periods.  I would love to interview parents and teachers about this article and see what they have to say about the seperation of children based on disabilites

This article exactly articulates one of the questions I have: what is the organic farmer’s motivation for producing food in the way they do? It also contrasts the organic farmer’s worldview with the conventional farmer’s, which will give me deeper insight into how each group feels about their work. There is another article by the same authors under a different name called “Environmental Awareness” which may or may not be the same research in another journal.

2. Fairweather, J.R. (1999). Understanding how farmers choose between organic and  conventional production: Results from New Zealand and policy implications. Agriculture and Human Values. 16(1): 51-63.

This article will give me insight into the decision-making process of farmers, what is enough of an initiative or a deterrent to practice organic farming methods. It covers the materialist concerns as well as the ideological. The only issue is the research took place in New Zealand.

3. Darnhofer I., Schneeberger W, and B Freyer. (2005) Converting or not converting to organic farming in Austria: Farmer types and their rationale. Agriculture and Human Values.  22(1): 39-52.

This is subtly different from the second article; it identifies types of farmers in regards to how they respond to a survey. It still deals with producer’s perceptions of organic farming. Again, an issue is that the study was done in Austria.
