Addressing Racism in Research Can Transform Public Health
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently issued a declaration reflecting what many already realized: racism is a threat to public health and a fundamental cause of health inequity in the United States. In 2020, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Urban Institute released a series of reports to highlight the lack of data on maternal outcomes disaggregated by race and ethnicity, the link of pandemic-related changes to maternit…
Addressing Mass Incarceration to Achieve Health Equity
Advancing community resilience research and practice
Research and practice aimed at enhancing community resilience to disasters such as hurricanes have focused primarily on the survival of individuals and the development of social capital and networks. Less consideration has been given to the dynamics of social-ecological conditions that can govern post-disaster outcomes. This article provides a rationale for moving research and practice towards an adaptive systems framework, drawing on the cascadi…
New Orleans’ Remarkably (Un)Predictable Recovery
In this article, I use New Orleans’ experiences pre- and post-Katrina, as well as information on other cities exposed to shocks, to develop and advance an original explanation for urban resiliency. The explanation suggests that economic origins influence elite commitment to and participation within cities, thereby influencing the city’s ability to redefine itself after experiencing an exogenous shock, whether it be a natural disaster, economic cr…
Industrial Ruination, Community, and Place
Surviving the Era of Deindustrialization
This article details the transformation of the urban rust belt over the course of economic restructuring. It begins by building typologies of cities at the starting point of restructuring and by showing how cities vary in socioeconomic performance by the endpoint. Multiple methods and data sources are then used to provide a general and detailed story of change for successful and unsuccessful performers. Results show that, in general, deindustrial…
Caregivers' Social Capital and Satisfaction with Their Children's Service Providers
The authors examine children's access to and caregiver's satisfaction with organizations that provide leisure time activities for children on Saturdays. The authors argue that access and satisfaction are a function of families' financial, cultural, and social capital. Using data on 1,036 households in the Phoenix metropolitan area in 2003-04, the authors found that families' financial and cultural capital affected whether or not children particip…
