Despite the strong relationships evidenced between music and identity little research exists into the significance of music in prisoners’ shifting sense of identity. This article explores musicking as part of the ongoing identity work of prisoners in light of theory on musical performance, narrative and desistance and discusses implications for penal practice and research. Through the presentation of an ethnographic study of music therapy in a low security Norwegian prison we show how participation in music activities afforded congruence between the past, the present and the projected future for participants by way of their unfolding musical life stories. Complementing existing conceptualisations of music as an agent for change, our study suggests that musicking afforded the maintenance of a coherent sense of self for participating prison inmates, whilst offering opportunities for noncoercive personal development. We argue that research into musicking in prison offers fruitful ways of tracing how the complexities inherent in processes of change are enacted in everyday prison life, and that it can advance our knowledge of relationships between culture, penal practice and desistance.

<p><em>While much of Aldo Leopold’s life is associated with Wisconsin, where he wrote <span style="text-decoration: underline;">A Sand County Almanac</span>, his observations and letters as a high school student in Lawrenceville, New Jersey document his maturing insights into natural history and his eventual land ethic. This article frames Leopold’s experiences at the Lawrenceville School within the context of its surrounding environment in 1904-1905 by rediscovering the locations of forests he drew on a map in a letter to his mother. Notably, Leopold referred to the forest west of Rider University today as the Big Woods. Tree-ring data recently collected by Rider University students and other historical evidence (including an oral interview, photographs, 1899 state government report, and 1849 herbarium sample) confirm the location of this forest and reveal that it has been present since at least the mid-nineteenth century. Knowing the locations of these forests, like Leopold’s Big Woods, not only enables a greater appreciation for the landscape that he wrote extensively about in letters home, but also provides an opportunity to document the long-term environmental changes that have occurred over the past 110 years in central New Jersey.</em></p>

Past Summer

The species in the following list were taken in Fairmount Park during the past summer, and mainly during May and June, which is the best time for Syrphidæ; then there are some which only appear in the fall months. Of all families of Diptera the Syrphidæ seem to be better represented in the Park than any other families of this order, perhaps with the exception of the Dolichopodidæ. The Syrphidæ seem to prefer damp and somewhat open woods, especially a small wood that has a small rivulet running through, near the border, and where there are patches of May apple, with the sun shining through the trees on the plants. This only applies to some species, for others prefer the borders of woods, fields, etc. I never found many Syrphidæ in a hot and sandy county, for instance like New Jersey, but what it lacks in Syrphidæ it makes up with the Bombylidæ, for last summer I took about ten species of the latter family in one day, while I only took about seven species the whole summer in Fairmount Park.
