  • “Racial” Disparities in Access to Water and Sanitation in Jamaica

    Open AccessM D A Kelly, Tiffany M Williams et al.ARTICLERace and Social Problems2026

    Although Jamaica meets UN benchmarks for potable water and sanitation (W.A.S.H) access, disparities in quality and access remain. Moreover, public discourse and scholarship on W.A.S.H. in the island often overlook the role of “race” in structuring patterns of unequal access. Using nationally representative data from the 2010–2018/19 AmericasBarometer, this study examines whether disparities in household access to W.A.S.H. are structured along “ra…

  • Basics Inequality

    Open AccessStephen P Gasteyer, Stephen Gasteyer et al.ARTICLEDu Bois Review Social Science…2016Cited by: 11References: 30

    In light of 2014-2016 media coverage about the inadequate water and sanitation services for households in places like Flint and Detroit, Michigan and the Central Valley of California, this paper asks whether places with majority non-White residents in the United States disproportionately lack access to these most basic of services. Investigating this issue through the combined lenses of structural racism, environmental justice, and the human righ…

  • Bioenergy Futures

    Sociotechnical imaginaries are collectively imagined forms of social life reflected in the design and fulfillment of technological projects. While it is implied that there may be contention around sociotechnical imaginaries, the literature on how that contention is manifested is scant. We use a frame‐analytic approach to demonstrate the potency of collective action frames for making sense of the national imaginaries underpinning siting proposals.…

  • The Community Capitals Framework

    Kenneth Pigg, Kenneth E Pigg et al.ARTICLECommunity Development2013Cited by: 30References: 12

    There is a small but growing amount of research on the use the Community Capitals Framework (CCF) as it relates to changes and development at the community level. There are conflicting arguments regarding how the community capitals are related to each other, but almost no empirical studies that actually investigate this relationship. Using the CCF, this article examines how the capitals may be related using data from a large sample of participant…

  • The role of cultural capital in the development of community leadership

    Kari Keating, Stephen P Gasteyer et al.ARTICLECommunity Development2012Cited by: 6References: 18

    Community leadership development programs (CLDPs) have become increasingly common in rural areas as strategies for self-help development. Programs vary by sponsor, curriculum, and mission, and in recent years have been the subject of study for their designs and impacts. While the majority of studies use past participants as research subjects, this qualitative case study uses University Extension program administrators from one Midwestern state as…

  • Community leadership development education

    Godwin T Apaliyah, Godwin Apaliyah et al.ARTICLECommunity Development2012Cited by: 18References: 19

    Community leadership development education (CLDE) programs are designed to increase the capacity of individuals as leaders in their communities as well as increase the capacity of community leadership as a whole. These programs contribute to building a critical mass of individuals in the community by developing their leadership skills and knowledge to be effective leaders. However, there is little research that connects characteristics of individ…

  • Modernizing the Savage

    Open AccessStephen P Gasteyer, Stephen Gasteyer et al.ARTICLESociologia Ruralis2000Cited by: 5

    The processes of colonization and landscape reconfiguration are often discussed as related, but separate, issues. In this paper we demonstrate that these issues are linked and are important in understanding the relationship between land use, culture, ideology and society. An important part of the colonization project is the perception of land as barren, infertile and/or unsafe (evidenced in the connotations of land descriptions such as desert, bo…
