Krista Evans examined the intersection of Amish culture and land use planning practice. Trudy Metzger identified specific latent cultural dynamics that could create increased vulnerabilities or silencing of survivors of sexual abuse. Beth Graybill explored how qualitative methodological techniques can inform ethnographic research with gender-focused mini-studies addressing patriarchy, women’s businesses, and COVID-19.
