Conceptualizing multilevel research designs of resilience
Resilience is a broad concept allowing us to understand health and well‐being as a multidimensional process that continually grapples with a multitude of stressors. Currently, there are efforts across disciplines and scales to develop this concept of resilience. Unfortunately, individual and community resilience efforts tend to only abstractly conceptualize macroscale dynamics while social–ecological efforts tend to treat individuals and communit…
The Market Inscribed Landscape
Focusing on the institutional logics of the grocery industry, this paper argues that the “neighborhood effects” of a lack of resources provided by organizations to economically disadvantaged areas are moderated by institutional logics. From the 1930s to early 1970s, the grocery industry had a logic of “economies of scale.” A new “mix–margin” logic developed after the mid–1970s: using low margins on high–demand items to gain foot traffic needed to…
City racial composition as a predictor of African American food deserts
Extending Small and McDermott’s ‘conditional perspective’, Blalock’s minority competition theory is used to explain how the relationship between African Americans and the number of supermarkets in a zip code depends on the city in which it resides. The 2010 American Community Survey and ZIP Business pattern data are examined with hierarchical general linear models to explore whether the previously observed negative relationship between the percen…
Production as social change
Burawoy described two ways sociology can aid the public, through: (1) instrumental (policy) sociology and (2) reflexive (public) sociology. This article elaborates the different assumptions of how social change occurs according to policy and public sociology (and how sociology effects social change). Policy sociology assumes social change occurs through the scientific elaboration of the best means to achieve goals. However, policy sociology large…
A Historical Era of Food Deserts
Previous research on “food deserts” generally agrees that supermarkets tend to avoid economically disadvantaged and high percent African American urban areas. Yet this literature is largely ahistorical, missing out on the historical dynamics between neighborhood restructuring and supermarket placement patterns. This article examines one particularly important era of neighborhood restructuring: the “urban crisis” of the 1970s and 1980s. In examini…
Three Versions of Constructionism and their Reliance on Social Conditions in Social Problems Research
This article argues that the three most popular versions of constructionism in social problems research fail to eliminate social conditions as causal variables. Strict constructionism fails to empirically ground its analyses without reference to social conditions. Contextual constructionism 'ontologically gerrymanders' out social conditions as causal variables of social problems. Finally, debunking constructionism depends on the assumption that o…
