Critical Environmental Justice Studies Through the Veil
Environmental justice (EJ) scholarship is today more keenly focused on examining how intersectional forms of difference fuse with the production of EJ at multiple scales, via multiple epistemologies, and via deeply embedded, previously taken-for-granted, forms of development and state power. Meanwhile, sociology more broadly is in the throes of a resurgence centered on the hitherto underappreciated work and life of W.E.B. Du Bois. This study fuse…
Creating “People’s Park”
This study examines the development of an urban space, from a vacant lot to a usable public space as a public park, in order to analyze how the transformation of space affects meaning for the surrounding community. I ask: In what ways does this transformation empower individuals to take advantage of subsequent reuse opportunities? Does the process by which the change takes place influence subsequent community engagement opportunities? I argue tha…
Sharing Stories
The focus of this study is the role of health narratives play in mobilization when shared among community members experiencing exposure to air pollution from numerous sources of industrial pollution. Grounded in the practice of community-based participatory research, The Stories Project (as the collection of narratives has been colloquially named) highlights various aspects of both the process and outcome of community and academic partnerships. D…
Mobilizing Voices
Leadership is a key factor in successful social movement mobilization. Without a grasp of leadership dynamics in a community, it is difficult to explain how individuals come to occupy leadership roles and what impact this has on the overall success of a movement effort. In this study, I use the qualitative approach to investigate how leadership is framed in a community facing the existence of environmental contamination. I follow the development …
Competing Frames of Environmental Contamination
This article provides an analysis of competing frames of environmental contamination in a working class neighborhood of Buffalo, New York. Through in-depth interviewing, document analysis, and participant observation, I locate and analyze emerging frames presented from local media and government sources. I argue that the most prominent frames emerged by means of local media and government, as residents referred to these most commonly as sources f…
Community Frame Analysis in Love Canal
This article addresses the development of frame analysis in understanding the environmental problems in a contaminated community. The problems at Love Canal, New York are examined through the use of local newspaper sources, government archives, and historical documents, such as activist and industry publications. Four distinct frame sources are examined at Love Canal: local newspaper coverage, community activists, government, and industry. These …
