Étude comparative Canada/États-Unis sur la philanthropie subventionnaire fondée sur le lieu
L’objet du présent article est de présenter les principaux résultats d’une démarche de recherche réalisée entre 2019 et 2022 avec l’appui du Conseil de recherche en sciences humaines du Canada (CRSH). La recherche portait sur l’étude comparative de dix fondations subventionnaires ayant adopté une posture d’intervention fondée sur le lieu (place-based philanthropy). Notre texte est divisé en trois grandes sections. La première se penche sur la phi…
(St)aging in place
As the number of older adults is growing rapidly in the U.S., the need for personalized, innovative, and sustainable Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) solutions is critical to support individuals' social, emotional, and physical health. Such technology can significantly help older adults' ability to live independently in their homes despite the challenges the aging process may present, referred to as aging or staging in place. In …
When It “Feels Like a Giant Living Room”
We report on a qualitative research study that identifies both challenges and successes resulting from the implementation of a Peer Education program at an urban, Hispanic-serving, Tier 1 Research University. By drawing on the experiences of 29 peer educators, we demonstrate the ways that combining peer mentoring and tutoring provided benefits for those who were not only served but those who served them. Lessons learned are shared
Differentiating Participation
Participatory planning has faced challenges engaging predominantly Spanish-speaking immigrants beyond the bottom rungs of Arnstein’s ladder of citizen participation. Participating at any level of the ladder requires individual civic skills, or capacities, that are integral to participatory processes. However, the specific skills necessary for collective action are less certain, due in part to a lack of clear definitions and a lack of clarity abou…
Feel Like More than a Number in the Classroom
Students benefit when faculty develop their teaching practice. This study aimed to identify why faculty seek professional development (PD), barriers to addressing classroom needs, and the benefit of PD in developing an understanding of classroom diversity at an HSI. Data from over 400 participants indicate a desire for classroom and online engagement activities. Faculty also described PD as facilitating the building of a community of peers engage…
Designing for equitable civic engagement
A common theme of research on participatory democracy and citizen engagement centres on the need for empirical studies that conduct a deep exploration of the nuances and complexities of these processes. This article offers a distinct response to this need through an examination of two ethnographic case studies of a participatory budgeting process in a multilingual, highly diverse community in which Spanish-speaking Latino immigrants were involved…
The Tempering Effect of Schools on Students Experiencing a Life-Changing Event
Focusing specifically on adolescents forced to relocate after Hurricane Katrina, the study looks closely at the role of schools in helping adolescents adapt after a natural disaster. Data collected from 46 middle and high school students across a 6-month period demonstrate that those who showed the greatest improvements in their well-being were those who sought help from their teachers, whose new school created a milieu of cooperation, and who we…
Private foundations and community development
Comprehensive community change through focused, place-based is gaining traction among private foundations and public partners frustrated with the lack of systemic change in poor neighborhoods. As they work to engage low-income residents, private foundations often describe their work as “bottom-up” participation. However, “bottom-up” approaches to empowering communities vary in their strategies, implementation and outcomes. We use an “outcome-base…
Parents’ Roles in Mediating and Buffering the Implementation of an Urban School Reform
This article presents an analysis of a Latino parent group and an African American parent group in California who struggled to engage with a contentious urban school reform. Using Bourdieu’s cultural capital framework, the study focuses on the institutional responses to parent involvement, and the inequality in access that occurs as capital from different parent groups is validated or dismissed. Findings suggest that researchers also focus on sch…

Empowered Participation
The Tenuous Role of Institutional Agents
This article reports on the contradictory role of parent involvement coordinators charged with increasing participation of low-income immigrant parents. This urban ethnographic study investigates the success of one program that engages Latino, Asian, and African American parents in the governance of their Southern California urban elementary school. It illustrates the dilemmas and tensions that arise as institutional agents serve as cultural brok…
It is not just who you know
Civic participation and its role in increasing social capital is touted as a key element in the regeneration of urban communities. This approaches assumes that urban communities are homogenized collective interests and misses the diversity of interests that capitalize on the growth of institutionally supplied social capital brought about through redevelopment projects. This article examines the participatory processes in a Southern California urb…
