"Reexamining the "Separation of Church and Space
President Donald Trump began his presidency in January 2017 by exclaiming, "We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space..." His "Make America Great Again" agenda has included a reinvigorated space policy-spearheaded by the creation of the Space Force military branch and NASA's Launch America in partnership with the private sector.

Blue City … Red City? A Comparison of Competing Theories of Core County Outcomes in U.S. Presidential Elections, 2000–2012
The Red/Blue dichotomy describing presidential elections, while criticized, is ubiquitous: Red states vote Republican, Blue states Democratic. Locally, suburban and rural counties are often Red, urban counties Blue. This overgeneralization misses the Republican share of urban centers. This study analyzes the 2000–2012 presidential elections in core counties of metropolitan areas with populations over 250,000. Possible explanations for urban elect…
Contemporary neighborhood housing dynamics in a mid-sized US city
This paper analyzes median assessed residential property values using three different operationalizations of a tract-level dependent variable for a mid-sized US city: Louisville, Kentucky. We estimated the impacts of accessibility, socio-demographics, and housing characteristics as well as three policy interventions (HOPE VI, historic preservation districts, and university–community partnerships) on median assessed values and changes to them over…

The characters pursue temporal salvation through four social institutions: family, government, religion, and science/medicine, identified by a preliminary soak. Through content analysis of dialogueic, visual, and nonverbal references to these institutions across seasons 1–3 (N = 35), w…
Forty years of rent control
Religion and Organization Theory
This review examines the 41st volume of Emerald's Research in the Sociology of Organizations series. It is a multiauthor collection reminiscent of Sacred Companies edited by Demerath et al. As with SC, this effort highlights an important yet understudied intersection—the interface between organizational and institutional theory and religion. While the previous tome was mostly written by and for religion scholars, this volume is produced by manage…
Investors
Foreclosures have become one of the most important problems facing cities and the U.S. economy. However, not all communities are affected equally. Our goal is to better understand factors that affect variation in neighborhood foreclosures in a typical, mid-sized U.S. city—Louisville, Kentucky. While previous findings indicate that a key explanatory variable leading to rising neighborhood foreclosures is the proportion of racial minorities, our an…
Without Bias? Government Policy That Creates Fair and Equitable Property Tax Assessments
Ensuring accurate, unbiased residential property tax assessments is an important, and contentious, issue facing communities today, particularly in this era of fiscal and economic crisis. Furthermore, this question is critical because it involves important social justice issues. Past studies have shown inequities by race, class, and location with some neighborhoods paying more of their fair share in property taxes. This study looks at the reliabil…
