How transport journals weed out qualitative research and why it matters
Transportation researchers rarely publish findings from qualitative methods in peer-reviewed transportation journals; quantitative methods dominate research in the field. In this article, we document the paucity of qualitative research in transportation journals and examine the significant challenges researchers face in getting this type of work published. To do this, we (1) systematically reviewed the methods used in top transportation journals,…
Waiting for minutes and decades
Public transit is highly inequitable in hyper-segregated Chicago. After being promised for 50 years, a rail extension is finally poised for construction on the far South Side, a majority Black area lacking metro rail service. Using interviews, we examine how riders and residents perceive the long-awaited Red Line Extension and current riding experiences, focusing on time—waiting for buses routinely and waiting for a long-promised project. While t…
Harm reduction as “moral improvisation”
Background Within Hong Kong’s prohibitionist, abstinence-based approach to drug use and policy, frontline drug workers (FDWs) are the key point of contact between the state and People Who Use Drugs (PWUD). Adopting a street-level bureaucrat perspective, we examine the role of FDWs in implementing drug policy in Hong Kong.Methods We conducted five focus groups (n = 17) with frontline drug workers (FDWs) to understand how they perceive their role i…

An Unknown History of Portugal ( C 1570) in William Cecil’s Library
The Society of Antiquaries of London holds, under ms 86, an unconventional manuscript described in its catalogue as ‘brief notes on the Kings of Portugal’. The manuscript is in a mid-sixteenth-century hand and has personal annotations by William Cecil (1520–98), better known as Lord Burghley. It recounts the history of Portugal by reigns and belonged to Cecil’s personal library. Until now, no other extant example of a history of Portugal written …
Bag politics and 'Wall' Street capital
Drawing on ethnographic data on the use and supply of cocaine in Hong Kong among privileged expatriates, we examine how members of the subculture enter into and navigate the fluid yet instrumental social supply networks and learn "bag politics" (the negotiation of using, obtaining, and sharing drugs). At the heart of "bag politics" lies a process of developing, sustaining, and strengthening one's social capital within and beyond social supply net…
Participation and Equity in Municipal Transportation Decisions
Transportation systems shape the built environment of cities and the lived experiences of their residents, but equitable public participation in municipal transportation decision-making is limited. Furthermore, municipal transportation decision-making—and thus public participation within it—exists in a complicated field of transportation provision, while intersecting with a myriad of policy issues. This research article draws on Chicago as a case…

Looking Within
Self-examinations of researcher positionality are central to understanding how scholars engage with research populations and vice versa. Discussions of how researchers are positioned are considered particularly important when studying groups whose vulnerability is well-accepted. Less is known, however, about the role of researcher positionality when interviewing participants deemed privileged, such as expatriates. Researchers who study expatriate…
Colorblind transit planning
This article analyzes case studies of the H Street Streetcar in Washington, DC, and the Rampart Streetcar in New Orleans, two newly built U.S. streetcars that are part of a national trend of modern streetcar investments. We situate these investments within state-led gentrification that exacerbates racial disparities by expanding White privilege in Black neighborhoods and reshaping racial geographies. While supporters rationalize streetcars as eco…
Reasons to Be Cheerful
New Starts, Growing Inequities
Equity concerns regarding local revenue sources are increasingly important in the United States, as local sales taxes for transportation increase amid perceived federal funding shortfalls. This study examines shifts in the federal role and local funding sources for public transit projects supported by the New Starts program. The analysis finds that total federal New Starts spending grew over this period, but was distributed across more costly pro…
Private Donations for Public Transit
Transportation agencies are increasingly seeking private sector funding, but resulting deals have implications beyond specific projects. We analyze the broader regional and equity impacts of private funding by examining Detroit’s donation-funded streetcar. Despite potential negative consequences for transit-dependent populations, the longer-term political will forged through streetcar planning has a contingent possibility to enhance regional tran…
Chasing Tiger
Many challenges make it difficult to achieve the collaborative metropolitan transportation planning ideals articulated in federal policy. A central challenge is that metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) are responsible for identifying and prioritizing region-serving investments, but numerous transportation agencies and local governments typically implement projects and hold the purse strings. New, less restricted sources of funding could ex…
Derailed Values
Studio courses can transform practice and impart planning values, but increasing university expectations around revenue generation could create barriers for these objectives. To understand how funding demands could impact planning education, we examine a New Orleans–based case study in which external funders pressured university stakeholders to change a studio course. The studio, focused on environmental justice and freight rail planning, remaine…
Capacity and Equity
Major federal grant programs in areas such as transportation, neighborhood development, and education increasingly rely on competition to award funds. Yet the capacity to develop a competitive application for funds can vary widely, with some places lacking civic resources that contribute to successful grant applications. Moreover, not all civic actors and priorities have similar levels of involvement in grant seeking; in particular, low-income co…
Resilience and Mimetic Behavior
The Great Recession was a moment of challenge for many regions and required that leaders reflect on their economic development strategies. Given the propensity of regions to adopt ideas and strategy "fads" that then inform policy debate, we seek to understand how two very different regions with different histories framed their responses to the recession. How did they conceptualize the economic challenge in their region? What did they envision as …
Caution! The Bread is Poisoned’
This article examines the Hong Kong mass poisoning of 15 January 1857, in which bread from a Chinese bakery that supplied the colonial community was adulterated with arsenic. Even though there is a wealth of printed and manuscript documentation available many vital aspects of the poisoning remain unclear. What kind of incident was it: an act of terrorism and attempted mass murder, a war crime, a criminal conspiracy, an act of commercial sabotage,…
Rethinking Competition in Tiger
Increasing the use of merit-based competition has become a popular policy idea for federal transportation funding. Focusing on a competitive program—the 2009 Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program—this article asserts thatsuch competition does not guarantee transparency or that awards will actually maximize benefits. In addition, competitive award programs can widen gaps across places and among people. Rather than …
Bypassing Equity? Transit Investment and Regional Transportation Planning
Regional planning may require a better understanding of multijurisdictional planning and equity within intergovernmental context. This research explores how intergovernmental context and metropolitan planning organization (MPO) activities impact rail proposals for low-income and minority communities. In two case studies, Boston and Miami, other government agencies determined the projects within MPO plans. In Boston, however, advocates leveraged a…
Funding Rail
Local funds for transportation infrastructure are increasingly necessary, even though the U.S. federal government provides billions for urban rail projects. Through analysis of a competitive federal rail program (New Starts), this research tests the hypothesis that local financing decisions—as a demand-side factor in funding allocations—can drive federal rail spending. The analysis also considers alternative explanations for funding outcomes: tra…
Visible Lives
This article contributes to the study of the early sub-Saharan African diaspora in Europe by analyzing both visual and documentary evidence relating to black gondoliers in Renaissance Venice. Gondolas and gondoliers were iconic features in fifteenth-century Venice, yet most gondoliers were not Venetian. Although black Africans were highly visible in a predominantly white society, naming practices and linguistic usages rendered them virtually invi…

Representing’ Africa
During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, a number of sub-Saharan envoys and ambassadors from Christian countries, predominantly Ethiopia and the Congo, were sent to Portugal and Italy. This essay shows how cultural assumptions on both sides complicated their task of ‘representing’ Africa. These African ambassadors and princes represented the interests of their rulers or their countries in a variety of ways, from forging personal relationship…

Africa in the News in Renaissance Italy
This article addresses issues surrounding news of Western Africa, from Senegambia to the Congo, coming via Lisbon to the Northern Italian courts and Florence during the reign of King João II of Portugal (1481–95), who developed a policy of exploration and alliance along the African coast. It examines this news from a variety of standpoints, paying attention to both transmission and content, and relates the key concepts of newsworthiness and news …
Elections of Abbesses and Notions of Identity in Fifteenth- and Sixteenth-Century Italy, with Special Reference to Venice
Ceremonies of election to abbess were occasions of great display. Election to this highest of offices was the defining moment of a successful nun's life, and thereafter self-identity became crucial. This article examines an anatomy of an election of 1509 by a nun from San Zaccaria in Venice; the illustrated chronicle of Santa Maria delle Vergini in Venice dated 1523, written by an anonymous nun; and the visual representation (in a range of media)…

Black Africans' Religious and Cultural Assimilation to, or Appropriation of, Catholicism in Italy, 1470-1520

Toutefois, ce niveau d’assimilation était contesté régulièrement par les Européens ‘blancs…

The Global Consequences of Mistranslation
This article investigates the genesis of a linguistic model occasioned by a mistranslation that was taken up in the Renaissance, and had an enduring global impact. I call this model the “black but...” formulation, and it is to be found in the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries throughout written texts and reported speech, in historical as well as literary works. It was modeled grammatically and ideologically on the statement “I am bla…
