“…Additionally, larger pumps are known to be more energy efficient than smaller pumps, 45 and horizontal pumping consumes much less energy when pumping long distances, particularly when the velocity of horizontal pumping is kept low. 46 For example, the energy cost of 100 km of horizontal pumping is equivalent to 100 m vertical pumping at $0.05− 0.06/m 3 , highlighting that transporting water horizontally can be significantly less energy intensive than pumping vertically. 47 Therefore, in this context, topographical conditions (e.g., Florida's flat topography), benefits of energy efficient VFD pumps, and system layout favor centralization of water reuse.…”

Energy and resource consumptions required to treat and transport wastewater have led to efforts to improve the environmental sustainability of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Resource recovery can reduce the environmental impact of these systems; however, limited research has considered how the scale of implementation impacts the sustainability of WWTPs integrated with resource recovery. Accordingly, this research uses life cycle assessment (LCA) to evaluate how the scale of implementation impacts the environmental sustainability of wastewater treatment integrated with water reuse, energy recovery, and nutrient recycling. Three systems were selected: a septic tank with aerobic treatment at the household scale, an advanced water reclamation facility at the community scale, and an advanced water reclamation facility at the city scale. Three sustainability indicators were considered: embodied energy, carbon footprint, and eutrophication potential. This study determined that as with economies of scale, there are benefits to centralization of WWTPs with resource recovery in terms of embodied energy and carbon footprint; however, the community scale was shown to have the lowest eutrophication potential. Additionally, technology selection, nutrient control practices, system layout, and topographical conditions may have a larger impact on environmental sustainability than the implementation scale in some cases.

“…In the same year, Belenky, Bond, and Weinstock (1991) wrote about "a tradition that has no name" based on their qualitative study of women's leadership in African American communities in which women promoted other women's development and encouraged their engagement in creating an alternative agency culture. In the 1990s and into the 21 st century, feminist historians revealed untapped sources of data that could be accessed to raise the voices of women of color who had been ignored and, thus, unrecognized in founding, developing and advocating for alternative organizations, agencies, and schools (see for example: Carlton-LaNey, 2001; Kemp & Brandwein, 2010;Oakley, 2015). In short, Black women founded schools and agencies as alternative organizations for women and girls from the late 1800s and early 1900s but their work was not recognized in the professional literature until much later in the century.…”

Alternative Agencies and Feminist Organizations: Building on the Legacy of Felice DavidsonPerlmutter

Over 30 years since Alternative Social Agencies (Perlmutter, 1988) was published, scholars from a range of disciplines have studied alternative approaches to human service administration, management, and leadership. In this paper, we pull the historical threads of alternative voices into the web of contemporary practice and memorialize Perlmutter’s legacy to social work education and practice. We begin with an historical perspective, framing the concept of an alternative agency and establishing the narrative in which Perlmutter’s book was incubated. We then review the literature that has emerged on alternative agencies and build on her quest to conceptualize what it means to be an “alternative agency,” using the subtype of feminist organizations as an exemplar. Finally, based on a review of this diverse literature, and grounded in the factors for success originally identified by Perlmutter, we identify lessons learned about strategies used in contemporary alternative agencies and their implications for human service leadership.

“…As Oakley (2015) reminds us, researchers will be seriously restricted by the accessibility of historical source material, how it is catalogued, and what is kept or collected in the first place. There will be research topics where it could be hard to find relevant historical data sources, perhaps because of silences that have been maintained around these issues (e.g.…”

Using the once familiar to make the familiar strange once again: engaging with historical inquiry and autobiography in contemporary ethnographic research

This article builds on Delamont's strategies for fighting familiarity, particularly her argument that ethnographers need to revisit educational ethnographies of the past. (Delamont, Atkinson and Pugsley 2010) The article argues that wider historical accounts, from both inside and outside of education, can also cultivate the sociological imagination in this way. Inspired by feminist historical inquiry the author will demonstrate how she has used history (historical research and feminist autobiography) to make the 'familiarity' of contemporary girlhood 'strange'. The article will draw on examples from the author's own experience of interpreting and representing the lives and experiences of girls in elite educational settings, to show how this subject, which was once considered strange, can become all too familiar and thus prey to historical amnesia. An argument is made here for the need for strategies which help us fight familiarity in our interpretations and theorisations of the lives of those we study. The article suggests that historical accounts represent one way in which we can bring an openness and playfulness to this process, in order to question the self-evidence of what we see.
