‘‘Planting little seeds’ to resist big oil
In Commerce City, Colorado, the Suncor Oil Refinery routinely releases pollutants that disproportionately impact the community surrounding the facility. In the absence of state intervention, women-led organizing has mobilized, calling for justice and accountability. Cultivando, an Indigenous women-led grassroots organization serving Latine and Indigenous migrant communities in Adams County, facilitates activism and advocacy efforts. Drawing on 53…
The politics of protection
During COVID-19, U.S. meatpacking plants were deemed “essential critical infrastructure” under the Defense Production Act of 1950. Workers’ health suffered, due to intersecting variables, including company negligence, limited state intervention, and pre-existing issues associated with corporate consolidation and production. We examine the political-economic roots of harms experienced by meatpacking workers during the pandemic. What institutional,…

Neoliberal Governance and Agribusiness Influence
In this article, we examine how neoliberal governance, corporate influence and public health policy intersected during the COVID-19 pandemic in one meatpacking town we call Cattleford. We focus on two research questions: (1) In what ways did the political power of agribusiness shape local-level public health policymaking around meatpacking during COVID-19? and (2) how did neoliberalised governance mechanisms influence public health policies durin…
The Kids Ask 'Are We Safe
Despite knowing about climate risks for decades, oil and gas companies continually increase production. Infants, children, and adolescents are most vulnerable to intensifying air pollution and other upheavals of climate emergency. Here, we illustrate localized impacts of global processes by focusing on the Suncor Oil Refinery in Commerce City, Colorado, the state's only oil refinery and a major polluter. The Suncor facility illustrates broader st…
You fine an industry, then return the funding to them
In Commerce City, Colorado, residents contend with multiple environmental hazards and live in the most polluted zip code in the US. Perhaps no source of environmental harm is more visible than the imposing, aging Suncor Oil Refinery. The refinery dominates entire city blocks and residents' daily lives. Since 2005, the refinery has been cited for over nearly 60 environmental and safety violations. Despite this, it continues operating with minor pe…
Layered Sites of Environmental Justice
A growing body of scholarship highlights the merits of fusing green criminology and environmental justice frameworks to better understand intersections among carceral systems, race- and class-based stratification, and environmental harm. This paper explores how correctional institutions (CIs) with known histories of federal environmental law violations compare against other previously established environmentally harmful facilities and land uses. …
High Impact Learning in a Short-Term Study Abroad Program
This study examines a short-term study abroad program in Costa Rica. The goals of the study are to (1) investigate the link between high impact learning practices (HIPs) and program learning outcomes and (2) capture the relation between program structure, program facilitation, and student learning networks. The methodology includes ethnographic observations, student interviews, and social network analysis. The implementation of three HIPs in the …
Surviving and Thriving
(1) Introduction: Caring for an adult with dementia is both challenging and rewarding. Research indicates that community-based, social support, and/or arts engagement interventions can play a key role in ameliorating the negative outcomes associated with caregiving while enhancing its more positive attributes. This study explores the psychosocial outcomes experienced by dementia caregivers who participated in a multi-year, multidimensional interv…
Mapping movements
Social network analysis (SNA) is an interdisciplinary method that takes as its starting point the premise that social life is created primarily and most importantly by relations and the patterns formed by these relations. While SNA is often associated with the quantitative analysis of network measures, we illustrate through our overall mapping of, and interpretation of the relations within the Denver food movement, the advantages of a qualitative…
