Climate Chaos, Human Solutions: Mapping New Directions in a Mobile World
This article discusses four recently published books 1 that join an expanding corpus foregrounding mobility as a key dynamic of life in a heating world. Taken together, these titles construct a more explicit, applied dialogue about the process of producing solutions and policies that combat rising global temperatures. I primarily employ Mimi Sheller's mobility justice framework to identify the intersections between movement, inequality, and envir…
A Multi-Institutional Description of Processes and Outcomes of Postbaccalaureate Research Education Programs in the Mid-Atlantic Region
Outcome data from 6 National Institutes of Health–funded Postbaccalaureate Research Education Programs (PREPs) in the Mid-Atlantic region were combined to give a multi-institutional perspective on their scholars’ characteristics and progress through biomedical research training. The institutions hosting these programs were Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, the Medical University of South Carolina, the University of Maryland School of M…
The spatial distribution of neighborhood safety ties: Consequences for perceived collective efficacy
There is conflicting evidence in the literature regarding the relationship between residents’ social networks and their perceptions of neighborhood collective efficacy. This study proposes addressing this challenge with several theoretically motivated refinements using a large spatially stratified sample of residents in the Western United States. First, we consider various distinct types of social relationships, and find that our novel measure of…
Colonial Neglect and the Right to Health in Puerto Rico After Hurricane Maria
The humanitarian crisis revealed as a result of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico demonstrates a long history of US colonial neglect and human rights violations. This reality has made it especially difficult for the people of Puerto Rico to achieve their right to the highest attainable standard of health. The impacts are pervasive, resulting in disparities in Puerto Rican health, including water access and quality; wealth, including economic loss an…
Retrospective Network Imputation from Life History Data: The Impact of Designs
Retrospective life history designs are among the few practical approaches for collecting longitudinal network information from large populations, particularly in the context of relationships like sexual partnerships that cannot be measured via digital traces or documentary evidence. While all such designs afford the ability to “peer into the past” vis-à-vis the point of data collection, little is known about the impact of the specific design para…
The built environment, spatial scale, and social networks: Do land uses matter for personal network structure
In this study, we examine how different features of the built environment—density, diversity of land uses, and design—have consequences for personal networks. We also consider whether different features of the built environment have consequences for the spatial location of persons to whom one is tied by considering their distribution in local area, broader city region, and a more macro spatial scale. We test these ideas with a large sample of the…
Social fabric and fear of crime: Considering spatial location and time of day
The Relationship of Age to Personal Network Size, Relational Multiplexity, and Proximity to Alters in the Western United States
Although personal network size ultimately declines with age, we find that increases for some relations extend well into late-midlife and most elders still maintain numerous contacts across diverse relations. The evidence we present suggests that older people tap into an wider variety of different network members for different types of relations than do younger people. This is true even for populations in rural settings, for whom immediate access …
Networks, Space, and Residents’ Perception of Cohesion
Community scholars increasingly focus on the linkage between residents’ sense of cohesion with the neighborhood and their own social networks in the neighborhood. A challenge is that whereas some research only focuses on residents’ social ties with fellow neighbors, such an approach misses out on the larger constellation of individuals’ relationships and the spatial distribution of those relationships. Using data from the Twin Communities Network…
Adding Fuel to the Fire: Justifying Iraq's Media Incitement Laws
With its improving stability and approaching independence, Iraq must decide a centuries-old question: which is more important, liberty or security? This Article addresses this question in the realm of Iraq's freedoms of the press
