A Mixed-Methods Assessment of Energy Insecurity in the United States
Problem, research strategy, and findings An energy-just transition requires research and targeted solutions for energy insecurity. However, national data sets undergirding this work lack the granularity to document energy poverty and physical and behavioral energy insecurity. We present here an index to uncover physical energy insecurity in U.S. regions. Using county tax appraisal district data in Dallas County (TX), the index found 46,422 struct…

An Index to Identify and Classify the Spectrum of U.S. Peri-Urban Informal Subdivisions
This paper proposes a replicable, data-driven index to identify informal subdivisions and measure levels of peri-urban housing informality. Dallas (Texas) and Catawba (North Carolina) county assessment data, a review of the literature, and insights from qualitative research in North Texas yielded variables which were reduced to two factors through exploratory factor analysis. We identified 128 and fifty-three highly informal subdivisions in Dalla…

Deciding on justice
Environmental Justice (EJ) is a major concern for low-income communities across the US, but government responses to these injustices remain inconsistent, often because EJ issues are overlooked or ignored in government decision-making. Despite this issue, little research examines the procedural elements influencing whether EJ is considered in government activities or the factors influencing whether EJ concerns are included on local government poli…
Notes from the Trenches
PhD planning graduates face an increasingly competitive academic job market. In this commentary, seven recent graduates provide qualitative descriptions of the complicated and ever-changing expectations graduates face. We situate this within a larger reflection on the neoliberal academy that promotes a culture of competitiveness over care and production over purpose. We emphasize how this system is seemingly antithetical to the transformative pla…
How do low-income commuters get to work in US and Mexican cities? A comparative empirical assessment
This paper applies multinomial logit models to examine how metropolitan urban form, housing type and socioeconomic factors covary with individuals’ commute mode choice for 1.2 million low-income workers in the USA and Mexico. Comparing the commute patterns of low-income households across the USA–Mexico border sheds light on the consistency of estimated relationships across global contexts and the likely transferability of transportation and land …
Looking Back to Look Forward
Followed by two previous conferences 20 and 40 years earlier, the Habitat III conference convened in Quito in 2016 to tackle global urban challenges. With cities experiencing ever-increasing levels of poverty, inequality, and vulnerability to climate change, Habitat’s New Urban Agenda outlines its priorities for sustainable urban development considering current urban realities. This paper aims to assess the changing dynamics that have paved the r…
Demystifying Academic Writing in the Doctoral Program
This article discusses a course at The University of Texas at Austinwhich sought to facilitate doctoral students’ development of scholarly articles while simultaneously fostering their sense of scholarly identity. The article was co-authored by the instructor and two cohorts of doctoral students based on immediate as well as retrospective learning outcome assessments. The social constructivist approach to writing pedagogy fostered students’ schol…
Housing and Transportation
This paper provides a new perspective on the trade-offs between housing location and transportation in Mexico City. Fieldwork provides detailed, community-level information on residents’ commutes across two neighborhoods that differ in their proximity to the urban core, and the consolidation of local retail economies. After controlling for household income, a residence in the peripheral housing development of Los Alamos increases commute times by…
