Securing Climate Justice Federally
How can the federal Justice40 policy framework tackle climate change and social inequalities at the same time and in the same places? We adopt a political economy approach. We situate environmental injustice in the context of long-standing racist patterns of public–private investments in the United States, especially in housing, through practices such as redlining, transportation, and industrial development. We argue that any policy approach aimi…
Small-Area Analyses Using Public American Community Survey Data
Quantitative sociologists and social policymakers are increasingly interested in local context. Some city-specific studies have developed new primary data collection efforts to analyze inequality at the neighborhood level, but methods from spatial microsimulation have yet to be broadly used in sociology to take better advantage of existing public data sets. The American Community Survey (ACS) is the largest household survey in the United States a…

New York City as 'fortress of solitude' after Hurricane Sandy
How did New York City’s climate politics change after Hurricane Sandy, and why? Prevailing accounts of extreme weather’s impact on climate politics draw on survey data and characterize climate policy in vague terms. However, weather does not do the work of politics; the specifics of climate policy matter. I develop a relational sociological approach focused on mobilized actors, political economy, and event theory. Drawing on interviews and docume…
Latin America’s Green New Deal
On November 13, 2018, congressperson-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) joined dozens of young activists with the Sunrise Movement in occupying the incoming House speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office. “
Confronting the urban climate emergency
Nothing will shape urban life in this century more than carbon—efforts to abolish it, and the consequences of its pollution. Critical urban studies must put the climate emergency at the very core of the discipline. This paper suggests four methodological injunctions to this end: (1) a field-wide development of carbon literacy along the lines of how all critical urbanists understand capital and inequalities; (2) research that links technical low-c…
Contradictions of the Climate-Friendly City
As local governments and corporations promote 'climate friendliness', and a low-carbon lifestyle becomes increasingly desirable, more middle- and upper-income urban residents are choosing to live near public transit, on bike- and pedestrian-friendly streets, and in higher-density mixed-use areas. This rejection of classical forms of suburbanization has, in part, increased property values in neighborhoods offering these amenities, displacing lower…

Interviews with Rebuild by Design's Working Group of Experts
In the fall of 2014, Rebuild by Design, an initiative of President Barack Obama's Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force, convened an international working group of experts to advance a global conversation on resiliency, design, and politics. As part of that process, the researcher Daniel Aldana Cohen interviewed several members of the working group on the challenges and opportunities that cities increasingly face in a warming world, with a focus …
The Rationed City
Specters of rationing haunt metro São Paulo. Water supplies have plunged to historic, dangerous lows. The idea of rationing has become a flash-point. The state's center-right governor has insisted that rationing be avoided at all costs and the state's profit-driven water utility has followed suit, even as dwindling water supplies are being opaquely and unequally distributed. To make sense of the situation, I propose, through an exploration of the…
