Growing Adaptability Among Undocumented Communities During Climate-Induced Disasters
This research explores the conditions and contexts that make undocumented communities uniquely vulnerable to climate-induced disasters, as well as the role of migrant-serving organizations (MSOs) in supporting them throughout these events. We apply the framework of adaptive governance to examine how climate change has forced MSOs, including those without previous disaster-related experience, to become disaster experts, advocates, and direct aid p…
The Emergence of Environmental Justice in General Plans
At the center of demands for cleaner air, water, and soil in communities disproportionately impacted by environmental hazards, are often cities and counties. Local jurisdictions are uniquely positioned to shape policies and engage with residents in processes that can transform land-use patterns that have negatively impacted low-income, people of color communities. This study assesses the approaches to environmental justice (EJ) that California lo…
Política universitaria de discapacidad y accesibilidad desde un enfoque interseccional y transversal
Qué lugar ocupan las personas en situación de discapacidad - y la discapacidad como categoría política - en la sociedad, en las políticas públicas y en las políticas universitarias en la Argentina? ¿Qué políticas y normativas universitarias se implementan al respecto? ¿Cuáles son los avances y las vacancias en la institucionalización de la perspectiva de discapacidad a nivel institucional, nacional y latinoamericano? A partir de estas preguntas i…
Understanding Challenges to Health Equity in Climate Action and Land Use Planning
Queer and present danger
LGBTQ+ communities comprise 16 million individuals in the United States, yet this population is often rendered invisible within disaster policies. Bias in federal disaster response programmes, a lack of recognition of LGBTQ+ families, and the prevalence of faith-based organisations in disaster relief services together heighten the risks that LGBTQ+ individuals face. This paper describes the ways in which this reality combines with the contextual …
The (in)visible victims of disaster
Explaining differential vulnerability to climate change
The varied effects of recent extreme weather events around the world exemplify the uneven impacts of climate change on populations, even within relatively small geographic regions. Differential human vulnerability to environmental hazards results from a range of social, economic, historical, and political factors, all of which operate at multiple scales. While adaptation to climate change has been the dominant focus of policy and research agendas…
Bone Mineral Density Changes in Lactating Adolescent Mothers During the First Postpartum Year
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare changes in whole body bone mineral density (wbBMD) during the first postpartum year in adolescent mothers with those of nulliparous adolescents. METHODS: The study included 21 adolescent mothers and 16 nulliparous adolescent non-indigenous Mexican women (State of Sonora) from a low income level. All mothers were assessed at 15 days (0.5 months), 3 months, and 6 months postpartum; 16 were measured at 12 mont…
