An Evaluation of Projection Methods for Detailed Small Area Projections
Models and measures of learning outcomes for non-technical skills in simulation-based medical education
Simulations are increasingly used to enhance ‘non-technical’ skills (NTS) in medical education but little is known about the effectiveness of many simulations. The field lacks robust outcome measures and there is lack of clarity about educationally relevant conceptual and operational dimensions of NTS to support instrument development and testing. Our study addresses this dual gap through a multi-component design focusing on three key NTS: interp…
Global Studies Versus International Studies
The intellectual antecedents of international studies scholarship and the efforts to enclose it within academia bounded the research enterprise closely to a predominantly US-centric, international relations, and international systems perspective on world order. Investments by the US government and leading foundations led to the strengthening of interdisciplinary area studies and international studies curricular programs. These investments coincid…
How Do Social Service Providers View Recent Immigrants? Perspectives from Portland, Maine, and Olympia, Washington
This article explores how social service providers in two small, geographically distinct cities-Portland, Maine, and Olympia, Washington-understand the importance of welcoming and incorporating new immigrants in their cities. We focus on how providers characterize their responsibilities, how they understand the importance of responding to new immigrants, and what they describe as the challenges and opportunities presented by recent immigration to…

Uneven Development in North Carolina? Job Quality Differences Between Local and Nonlocal Firms1
Do outside firms come to North Carolina or, more generally, to the rural South to take advantage of the low-wage unorganized local relations of production? Do they disrupt local labor market arrangements? We use data from a survey of North Carolina employees to examine labor market and job quality differences between local and outside firms and also the organization of regional labor markets. Results, based on multiple regression models, suggest …
