Title A name given to the resource Red Sox in 2013 Description An account of the resource Summary: My paper uses firsthand accounts of personal experiences during the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing, combined with speeches and newspaper articles, to describe the effect of the Boston Red Sox on the city of Boston throughout the 2013 MLB season, as Boston tries to recover from the tragic events that marred the Boston Marathon. The paper will go into detail on how the Red Sox became a symbol of strength and unity, a pillar on which the people of Boston and fans of Red Sox Nation all around the world rallied upon to recuperate as the Red Sox chased the World Series title, and how that social cohesion allowed Boston to come back even stronger than before the Marathon bombing.

Title A name given to the resource Homelessness in Boston Description An account of the resource Within my paper, I explore the issue of homelessness that is so prevalent in and around Boston. In particular, past, present, and future measures taken and being taken by the local and state governments, as well as various organizations, are a large focus of the paper, and are used to better understand the nature of Boston's particular problem with homelessness. Risk factors for homelessness and the more common causes in Boston are explored and analyzed, to help further understand why some approaches might work and others might not, as well as what neighborhoods within Boston might be at greatest risk. Ways to mitigate and eventually end homelessness in Boston are also explored and discussed within the paper, questioning what homelessness may reveal about Boston and society at large.

Title A name given to the resource The Boys of Winter Description An account of the resource The Boston Bruins and Boston Celtics compete for the NHL and NBA championships every season, but they also compete for Boston’s attention in the winter. Because popularity of the team is often tied to that team’s success, I found that the Bruins were currently the more popular winter sports team, despite missing the playoffs this year, while the Celtics made the playoffs. I used interviews of fans, talked to restaurant workers at venues near the TD Garden, compared price, attendance, and retail sales data, and found online evidence to back up the claim that the Bruins are truly the most popular team in Boston during the winter.

Title A name given to the resource Power of the People: City Life/ Vida Urbana Description An account of the resource My project is about the community organization of City Life/ Vida Urbana. They focus on the issue of foreclosures in Boston. Through weekly meetings, blockades, letters to the government and banks, and civil disobedience, they support families that can’t fight against foreclosure on their own. After personally attending a meeting and interviewing multiple members, I learn that the organization is much more than what it would seem like to someone who only judges the success of an organization through its statistics. Although City Life has helped prevent 100 of families from foreclosure, the organization is more than that. They have created a community within a community. I saw the members inspire and teach each other. The success of City Life is rooted in the passion of the members to make change.

Description An account of the resource I wrote a magazine article that explored the changes in Boston’s bike culture and bike infrastructure in the last decade. I guided my research with questions like: What caused these changes? Who were the big players in changing things? What does the new face of biking in Boston look like? And what changes are still being pushed for? As the project progressed, I tried to shift to also understanding why things changed. What social and political factors helped bike advocates’ cause? I am including a picture of me biking through Jamaica Plain, which captures the spirit of my process (A friend took this when she joined me on a ride to take pictures of different types of bike lanes in Boston). I tried to get a good understanding of the biking situation by talking with people who have been involved in the politics, going for rides myself, and visiting a bike shop that one of my interviewees (Steve Miller) told me about.

Title A name given to the resource Visits to the New England Aquarium and Franklin Park Zoo Description An account of the resource My paper focused on the roles that institutions like the aquarium and zoo play in a city like Boston. Both institutions offer people a unique experience to see and sometimes interact with animals that are usually only seen on television or films since they come from all around the world. Some of the questions that I’ve tried to answer are how do people explore these sites? What are the things people do and don’t do? Who goes to these sites? Do they promote social cohesion among its community members or is social mixing confined to the group one comes in?

Title A name given to the resource Women and the Boston Marathon: The Fight for Equality Description An account of the resource The Boston Marathon has been a definitive cultural and social event in Boston since 1897. Each year schools across Boston close for Marathon Monday and thousands of people flock to the Finish Line to cheer on friends, family, and even strangers. But for the first 75 years of its existence, the Boston Marathon only celebrated the physical triumphs of half the world: men. Although other marathons began to accept female entrants earlier, Boston held on to its boys-only reputation for longer, with men even physically pulling women out of the race when they tried to enter. The changing experiences of woman pioneers in the late 1960’s fighting for their right to run, the early 1980’s adjusting to their new status, and finally today fully embracing equality tells the story of how Boston grew to embrace female runners.

Title A name given to the resource No Perfect Place Description An account of the resource This project is a set of poems about my most treasured places and memories in Boston. It explores how I understand Boston geographically and emotionally as a city and the powerful way that place can take on memory. I wrote about the Common, Quincy Market and the Harbor, Boylston, Concord, a fun poem about all the men's restrooms in Boston, and a retrospective about Harvard. The included picture I took at the Norman B. Leventhal Park with a girl I was on a date with. I had her take a picture in my picture to demonstrate how places take on different meanings for everyone.

Title A name given to the resource An Investigation of College Students in the Greater Boston Area: How Frequency of Interactions With the City Shape Students’ Social Lives Description An account of the resource Although college students make up 9.98% of the average United States metro area population, college students comprise over 40% of the Boston metro area population. With over 50 colleges and universities located in the greater Boston area, and since students account for such a sizeable percentage of the overall population and surrounding areas, college students in the Boston area find themselves in close proximity to myriad other college students--providing opportunities for varied social interaction both with the city itself and each other. I explore how college students in the Greater Boston Area interact with the city of Boston, how this differs by school, and how these findings shape students’ overall “view” of the city through interviewing four students (one from BU, BC, Harvard MIT) and providing structure for further research. Overall, Boston serves as a bridge for its college students’ social interactions; a centralized platform through which students across universities engage in activities ranging from a Harvard student meeting a friend from Boston College at Cafeteria for dinner, attending a Red Sox game on a Monday night, bar hopping with friends for a 21st birthday, visiting the Institute of Contemporary Art, and so much more.

Title A name given to the resource God Save the Red Sox Description An account of the resource I use Emelie Durkheim’s book, The Elementary Forms of Religious Life, as a mechanism with which to analyze how sports, specifically the Red Sox, function in the city of Boston. Rooting my discussion in the theme of the book, that religion operates as a set of beliefs and practices through which society forms and maintains a unique identity, I cast being “Bostonian,” as a religion. Further, I make the claim that the Red Sox serve as a unifying factor within the “religion,” to which Bostonians attribute their feelings of community. To explore this claim, I interviewed Bostonians wearing Red Sox paraphernalia; hats or t-shirts, or Bostonians with tattoos of either the city, or the Red Sox.
