Inequities in food access during the Covid-19 pandemic
Individuals who were food insecure reported a constellation of needs beyond food, including needs related to safety and greater social equity. Our data model illustrates the potential for rapid assessment of community residents' experiences to provide enhanced understanding of community-level needs and effective support in the face of changing circumstances
Dignified Resources and Coping Strategies During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Introduction Amid the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), racially and economically marginalized communities experienced a disproportionate burden of disease and social consequences (e.g., unemployment, increased exposure). This study seeks to understand strategies that these communities employed to cope with unequal burdens of the pandemic. Methods We utilized qualitative data collected between 2020 and 2021 from a mobile mapping platfor…
Combining Mixed Methods and Community-Based Participatory Research Approaches to Identify Neighborhood-Level Needs During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The intersection of mixed methods and community-based participatory research (MMCBPR) provides a promising approach to address health inequities. Drawing from strengths of mixed methods (which provides multiple channels for individuals to share experiences) and community-based participatory research methods (which center and empower marginalized communities in research), MMCBPR allows for the development of impactful and relevant research. This a…

Black emancipatory action research
The central purpose of this article is to introduce Black Emancipatory Action Research (BEAR) as a framework that will allow social scientists to explore the implications that ‘racing research and researching race’ have for methodological practices and knowledge production in the field of education and beyond (Twine and Warren 2003). Drawing on critical race theory (CRT), participatory action research (PAR), Critical Africentricity, and feminists…
Critical Hip Hop Pedagogy as a Form of Liberatory Praxis
This article uses Paulo Freire's problem-posing method, youth participatory action research, and case study methodology to introduce an alternative instructional strategy called Critical Hip Hop Pedagogy (CHHP). This approach attempts to address deep-rooted ideologies to social inequities by creating a space in teacher education courses for prospective teachers to re-examine their knowledge of hip hop as it intersects with race, class, gender, an…
Ameritocracy and infra‐racial racism
This article argues that narratives forecasting spectacular mobility for Black people/people of color along with the growth of the Black middle class function as proof that America ‘works’ and that the American dream is obtainable for all. However, what is concealed within this ‘meritocratic’ discourse is that full acceptance into this society is restricted on the basis of racial identity and other forms of social difference. I term the illusion …
Black Metropolis and Mental Life
In this article, I reflect on Signithia Fordham and John Ogbu's classic research on the “burden of ‘acting White’ ” to develop a long overdue dialogue between Africana studies and critical white studies. It highlights the dialectical nature of Fordham and Ogbu's philosophy of race and critical race theory by locating the origins of the “burden of ‘acting White’ ” in the work of W.E.B. Du Bois, who provides some of the intellectual foundations for…
Free spaces
This article introduces the concept of ‘free spaces’ as an important site for the development of theory and practice around youth activism, teacher development, and the transformation of public and private space in urban schools and communities. Nearly a quarter of a century ago, Evans and Boyte (1986 Evans, S. and Boyte, H. C. 1986. Free spaces: the sources of democratic change in America, New York: Harper & Row. [Google Scholar]) introduced the…
Cities as battlefields
This article challenges social (dis)organization theory by investigating the impact of religious culture on civic engagement. Using qualitative data 1 1. The ethnographic data used in this article were collected through youth participatory action research (YPAR) a critical tool for social change, in which ‘difference’ and power relations are key lines of analysis (Lykes & Coquillon, 2006 Lykes, M. B. and Coquillon, E. 2006. “Participatory and act…
Reexamining Resistance as Oppositional Behavior
Influential work on oppositional culture explains involuntary minorities' disadvantage as the result of a culture that discourages academic effort by branding it as acting white, which leads students to resist schooling. Much of this work depicts involuntary minority cultures as internally uniform. This article challenges the oppositional-culture explanation in three important ways: (1) by demonstrating that through the religious tenets and pract…
