Discrimination comes in many forms especially amongst intersectional identifying people. This study focuses on the different types of discrimination that native Spanish- speaking women workers face often in Tucson, Arizona and Colorado Springs. This comparative study discusses and explores the idea of how distance from the U.S./Mexico Border plays a role in the types of discrimination these women face. Some common types of discrimination encountered include: racism, colorism, sexism, classism, and discrimination based on language fluency and/or pronunciation. Distance plays a large factor in shaping political and social cultures of Tucson, Arizona and Colorado Springs. The results show that in Tucson, Arizona, due to its closeness to the Border, there are many more Spanish-speakers and there are clear legal policies that particularly target Spanish-speaking populations. Meanwhile in Colorado Springs, there are lower percentages of Spanish-speaking populations, therefore, the discrimination can be much stronger since some people may not be accustomed to hearing Spanish being spoken, or sometimes not as strong as in Tucson because there are not as many laws directly targeted towards these populations since Colorado Springs is further from the Border. That’s not to say it doesn’t exist, because it is clear that social culture and media both target Spanish-speaking populations more often than laws in Colorado Springs. Both cities’ social and political cultures strongly impact the types of discrimination these women face in this study.
Using Drake’s Bay Oyster Farm as an example, the conflict between the National Park Service and local community is examined. To analyze this conflict from a legal, historical or political perspective does not fully explain why these tensions came to a head in such an extreme way in the Oyster Farm battle, or illuminate larger implications for land use in the United States. I argue that a post-structural analysis of discourse reveals larger difficulties that have made this conflict virtually unresolvable and damaging to the community, and it indicates that conflicting discourses are present and problematic in other National Parks in the United States. In this paper I examine how the Federal Government, the NPS and the employees of Point Reyes National Seashore have created a powerful discourse of conservation, that has long conflicted with a counter discourse of sustainable local agriculture in the area. The existence of agriculture and aquaculture within PRNS presents a friction point between these two discourses. This friction culminated in a controversy over the removal of Drake’s Bay Oyster Company, and was escalated by a community that has a history of activism and resistance to change. This conflict became a political and legal battle that illuminated the differences in power, scale, and ideologies between the participants in the conflicting discourses.

I have taken up the difficult task in this thesis of ethnographically weaving together many strands of theory, practice, and analysis into a coherent narrative about type II diabetes and racial/ethnic disparity to answer the questions: What is the experience like for community health workers for Hispanic and Latina diabetics living in Colorado Springs, CO, and how does their clientele reflect disparate social histories? Further, how can Colorado Springs as a community better understand and strategically address public health efforts? The literature offered in this paper positions a single disease at the intersection of several historical moments and scales of analyses. This work is not meant to be a meta-narrative on the phenomenon, but rather a composite picture of public health framing of type II diabetes at a localized level to prompt collaboration to create an integrated system of health.
Historical Archaeology is a discipline informed by research in the archaeological and documentary record. However, the details of the research process for historical assemblages are not often documented in a way that can be applied to other cases. This paper discusses the methodological and research strategies used in the study of the Dead Man’s Cave Gulch (DMCG) cache. Little has been written on historic caches and further documentation is merited. Beginning with presenting the context of research strategies in historic archaeology and previous research on caches, this paper will outline resources available for researchers, including resources in the state of Colorado. Finally, it will present the results of the DMCG cache study.
