Tracking 4000 years of raptor diets through isotope analysis reveals urban scavenging with implications for conservation
“I Don’t Just Take Whatever They Hand to Me”
Women transitioning from incarceration often reenter society with multiple barriers to affordable health care. Many resort to costly emergency department visits, and others turn to online health information to compensate for gaps in their health care. Interviews with 74 previously incarcerated women were conducted in 2019–2020 in three midwestern cities. Qualitative and quantitative analysis revealed that, while most participants used the interne…
Technology Learning and Justice-Impacted Communities
This study, guided by the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), assesses how a technology education program affects technology adoption, use, and digital literacy for women transitioning from incarceration. Results highlight social influence (impact of instructors) and facilitating conditions (devices and access to lessons) as crucial factors in technology adoption. A majority of the women stated their success and use of tec…
Now More Than Ever, Survivors Need Us’
During the earliest waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, much media and public discourse focused on the effects of increasing precarity on already vulnerable populations. As in-person work added a layer of viral risk and unemployment drastically exacerbated economic precariousness, the category of ‘essential worker’ gained new prominence in these conversations. In this paper, we focus on the complicated relationship between two groups of workers depic…
Returning to the digital world
Based on interviews with 75 women transitioning from incarceration, our research identifies technology access and skills barriers facing this population and their underlying concerns and motivations in navigating privacy online. Our results suggest precarious housing and financial situations, concerns about ex-partners, mental health issues, and lack of self-efficacy pose challenges for their access to and use of digital technologies and influenc…
The Trafficking Continuum
Much of the research on human trafficking focuses on the prosecution of traffickers and protection of survivors after the crime has occurred. Less is known about the social disparities that make someone vulnerable to trafficking. This project examines human trafficking from a preventive focus, using data from a case study of service providers working with at-risk populations in the Kansas City, MO-KS area. The research team conducted 42 in-depth …
Midwestern Service Provider Narratives of Migrant Experiences
This exploratory study examined the vulnerability and exploitation of migrants from the perspective of service providers who work in social service organizations. Researchers conducted 16 interviews and 1 focus group with service providers whose clientele had direct experience with migration. These service providers indicated that there is incongruence, even tension, between a welcoming local response to migrant populations and the state-level po…
Human Trafficking in the Midwest
“I Need to Hurt You More”
While international attention has focused on genocidal rapes in several recent African conflicts, Namibia is emblematic of the equally important, and often overlooked, postconflict situations in which gender-based violence is both persistent and widespread. Namibia represents another pattern seen in many newly democratized African states as well: there is a disjuncture between, first, the progressive nature of recent legislation; and, second, the…

Organising against Gender Violence in South Africa
South Africa continues to top international rankings of incidence of reported rape and sexual violence. Rooted in the patriarchies of oppression found in colonialism, apartheid and the Cold War, these deeply ingrained patterns of sexual violence did not end with the transition to democracy. Many fear the level of gender-based violence may be increasing because of a backlash against the constitutionally-enforced gender equality of South African wo…
The Incomplete Revolution
South Africa's negotiated transition promised significant gains for gender equality, as women acquired one-third of the seats in the national parliament, secured constitutional protection, and began a process of legislative and institutional reform. Once apartheid was dismantled, the programs of racial and gender empowerment theoretically should have proceeded at the same rates, given the rhetorical commitments of the liberation parties. Life for…
