Before fully grappling with Mah’s concept of “devastation but also home,” I thought it might be necessary to gain a bit of background on the foundational concept of “place attachment.” This is a long article, but the intro (first 4 pages up to the first section break) gives a good overview, and brings up the fascinating discipline of environmental psychology.

Students Trek Pacific Crest Trail, Research Place Attachment

Davidson students Noelle Smith '16 and Micah Brown '16 have gone off the grid to do some scholarly research this summer.

The duo laced up their hiking boots and hit the Pacific Crest Trail in southern California on May 20. They headed north into the Sierra Nevada Mountains, intending to backpack more than 700 miles of the Canada-to-Mexico route in about eight weeks.
