Putting the Justice in Environmental Justice Screening Tools
Government agencies across the United States are increasingly deploying “environmental justice (EJ) screening tools (EJSTs)” to identify impacted communities in environmental policymaking. However, these tools are often composed of exclusively quantitative data, without input from affected communities. Thus, we use our experience creating a ZIP-code-level module of the State of Michigan’s MiEJScreen as a case study on developing EJSTs that are bo…
From Coercive to Carceral Conservation
Critical social science research on conservation practice has long articulated the tactics that emerge out of a history of carcerality, environmental racism, colonialism, and violence against oppressed peoples. Despite these critiques, there has been little change in how conservation is conceptualised and implemented, resulting in the continuation of violence, racism, and injustice. Abolition ecologies offer a framework to see the world through a…
Community Gardens in Michigan
Community gardens are more popular than ever, yet we know little about how leadership structure and neighborhood characteristics relate to programming. Hence, this paper analyzes how the racial/ethnic backgrounds of the community garden leaders are related to the activities the garden undertakes. What types of initiatives do gardens undertake to reduce food insecurity? The paper analyzes how the location of the garden impacts what it does. The ar…
Comparison of Scales for Recording and Evaluating Dental Arcade Shape
Recording scales to evaluate the shape of the dental arcade have been proposed; however, no comparison has been made among different scales to assess which is best. Here, a comparison is made among several scales (Gill 1971, 1995; Gill & Rhine 1986; Hefner & Linde 2018; Hooton, The Harvard Blanks n.d.; Maier 2017; Maier et al. 2015), and they were evaluated on (1) low observer error and (2) strong association with groups. Digital photographs of 6…
Interpersonal Playfulness as a Protective Factor Against Loneliness and Boredom in Single People Living Alone during the Covid-19 Lockdown
The COVID-19 pandemic added challenges to most people’s lives, while lockdown measures curtailed many coping mechanisms. Playfulness, a dispositional tendency toward engaging in amusing and entertaining behavior, was examined as a protective factor. We gathered open-ended responses and quantitative data over six weeks (once weekly) from a sample of single people living alone to evaluate the occurrence of interpersonal playful behaviors and the as…
Understanding the challenges faced by Michigan’s family farmers
Michigan is a critical agricultural state, and small family farms are a crucial component of the state's food sector. This paper examines how the race/ethnicity of the family farm owners/operators is related to farm characteristics, financing, and impacts of the pandemic. It compares 75 farms owned/operated solely by Whites and 15 with People of Color owners/operators. The essay examines how farmers finance their farm operations and the challenge…
Racial, Gender, and Age Dynamics in Michigan's Urban and Rural Farmers Markets
In recent decades, the number of farmers markets has increased dramatically across the country. Though farmers markets have been described as White spaces, they can play important roles in reducing food insecurity. It is particularly true in Michigan, where farmers markets were crucial collaborators in pioneering programs such as Double-Up Food Bucks that help low-income residents and people of color gain access to fresh, healthy, locally grown f…
