She’s a great lady and she works hard but I can’t waive her rent
Housing is a fundamental component of the physical environment of human communities, and in places dominated by rental housing of any kind, post-disaster stability requires that residential rental property owners (RRPOs) remain solvent. Despite popular conceptions of wealthy property owners with deep pockets, the majority of RRPOs in the U.S. own properties with a value of $200,000 or less and about 41% report having debt. The COVID-19 pandemic f…
“Temporal Cohort Effects and Satisfaction for Independent Residential Rental Property Owners”—Authors Information and Contributions
Traditional accounts of multifamily rental property ownership have often emphasized locational factors for Residential Rental Property Owners (RRPOs). However, there are reasons to believe that the timing of when RRPOs, particularly those who are independent rather than those working on behalf of financial institutions, enter the business also has important implications for their career trajectories. This study tests three hypothesized implicatio…
Training to increase student perceptions of fairness in peer assessment
Peer assessment training was motivated, developed and evaluated to address fairness in higher education group learning. Team-centric pedagogies, such as team-based learning have been shown to improve engagement and learning outcomes. For many instructors using teams, peer assessments are integral for monitoring team performance and ensuring accountability. However, students often view the peer assessment process as unfair due to the potential for…
Barriers to Postdisaster Housing Reconstruction
Puerto Rico has a long and complicated history with the US, and although the archipelago is no longer a colony, the colonial relationship remains embedded in US–Puerto Rico relations. In the disaster context, this historical legacy manifests as mismatches in power and place between where recovery is planned and policies are created (the federal US) and where disaster is experienced and recovery is carried out (Puerto Rico). This research investig…

Rental Property Owner Stress During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has placed a unique strain on the US housing system. Unprecedented job losses combined with a public health imperative to keep people housed pushed policymakers to issue a series of orders pausing residential evictions. These moratoria kept people in their homes but did little to address the underlying housing stresses. In this paper, we document the early impact of the pandemic on private rental housing owners with the resu…
Youth dialogue and design for educational possibility
Working with a community-based organization, we engaged middle school youth in mapping the realities of and dreams for their neighborhoods. We document the process we used to guide youth reflection on themselves as learners and, more specifically, detail our discoveries about their schools as learning places. Using critical literacy as a frame, we assert that youth insights about the physical, relational, and agentive environments of school revea…
Who takes the cake in community and economic development? ‘Going along' with metaphor to problematize the collective impact of a place-based promise programme
Linguists understand metaphors to be shortcuts to an individual’s tacit knowledge about the world. As ethnographers and planners building a university-school partnership and seeking to understand residents’ perceptions of their urban neighbourhood, attention to use of metaphor allowed us insight into an insider’s mental model of who is in the community. In this article, we describe how, in our interview-based ethnographic needs assessment, one of…
Telling a Story that Must Be Heard
This article argues that community planners can better engage residents of marginalized communities by using indicators as tools for community empowerment. Using case studies from Oakland, California, and Lane County, Oregon, we demonstrate how participatory processes to develop formative indicators can legitimize local stories as valid sources of knowledge, facilitate community problem-solving, and translate community concerns into pathways for …
Collaboration Is Not Enough
Over the past two decades, a burgeoning literature has touted the promise of regional collaboration to address a wide range of issues. This article challenges the premise that horizontal collaboration alone can empower regional decision-making venues. By analyzing efforts to create regional venues for transportation policy making in Chicago and Los Angeles, the authors show that vertical power is essential to building regional capacities. Only by…
