Using social network analysis to understand the impact of systems integration efforts
Over the past two decades Canadian municipalities have seen the emergence of formalised systems-level collaborative approaches to addressing homelessness and housing issues. The implementation of such approaches has been widespread and to some extent standardised by the Canadian (federal) government through the mandated formation of ‘community advisory boards’ (CABs) and their associated ‘Community Entities (CEs) which direct the use of federal h…
Mapping Food Policy Groups
Over the past decades, there has been a rapid expansion in the number of Food Policy Groups (FPG) (including food policy councils, strategies, networks, and informal alliances) operating at municipal and regional levels across North America. FPGs are typically established with the intent of bringing together food systems stakeholders across private (e.g., small businesses, industry associations), public (e.g., government, public health, postsecon…
Mental Health in the Transition to College
This study examined the mental health issues of low‐income, high‐achieving undergraduate students, a largely overlooked population in mental health research. Study participants provided in‐depth reports across their first semester of college through interviews and semiweekly audio‐diary transcripts. Factors related to race, community, money, and access to counseling services were the major determinants of students' college experiences and mental …
The ‘anti-Instagram’
Seventy-four students from underrepresented groups portrayed their first-semester college experience through privately-shared, captioned Instagram photos elicited by text message prompts. Longitudinal study analysis investigates the feasibility of this innovative visual data collection method, characterises the content of photos, and compares visual evidence to audio-diary data from the same students. The method succeeded in revealing detailed lo…
Postsecondary Outcomes of Innovative High Schools
Context Educational reform efforts have taken the form of different school models intended to reduce educational inequality. Personalized, interest-based schools and academically focused, “No Excuses” schools are two leading small-school designs with sharply contrasting approaches to innovation. Given mixed research findings about the successes and challenges of school reform models in the United States, it is imperative to understand how educati…
Reconceptualizing Research on College Student Peer Culture
This article introduces to higher education Bronfenbrenner's ecology model of development. The model reflects reciprocal influences of individuals and their environments and offers needed advances in understanding, studying, and influencing college student peer groups. The authors describe the model, draw illustrations from research, and analyze its implications for higher education research and practice
Experimental Archaeology and the Denticulate Mousterian
