The colour of unaffordable household water
The rapidly rising cost of household water bills is an increasing financial burden and health concern for low-income households in the United States, a nation that offers neither a constitutional right nor an enforceable national statute that ensures peoples’ access to water. Local water districts use their own discretion to develop, implement, and enforce distinct water rate structures, assistance programmes, and non-payment penalties. This stud…

Safe at Home
Problem, research strategy, and findings Indoor residential environments will be an increasing source of dangerous heat exposure as summer temperatures rise. Although air conditioning is a recognized preventative measure, many vulnerable residents either lack air conditioning or cannot always afford the electricity. Understanding the relative influence of different building characteristics and percentages of tree canopy coverage on indoor air tem…
Extreme heat vulnerability in Phoenix, Arizona
A survey-based assessment of perceived flood risk in urban areas of the United States
Micro-scale urban surface temperatures are related to land-cover features and residential heat related health impacts in Phoenix, AZ USA
Comparative Methods for Premodern Cities
We describe methods of coding and analyzing historical and archaeological data for comparative analysis of premodern cities. As part of a larger study of spatial access to urban services, we identify eight relevant contextual domains and define variables for each domain. Information from publications on each city is assembled, and the data are coded independently by three scholars and checked for agreement. To date, we have completed contextual c…
Climate Justice and Inequality
Neighborhood Effects on Heat Deaths
Background: Most heat-related deaths occur in cities, and future trends in global climate change and urbanization may amplify this trend. Understanding how neighborhoods affect heat mortality fills an important gap between studies of individual susceptibility to heat and broadly comparative studies of temperature–mortality relationships in cities. Objectives: We estimated neighborhood effects of population characteristics and built and natural en…
Ecosystem services and urban heat riskscape moderation
Urban ecosystems are subjected to high temperatures--extreme heat events, chronically hot weather, or both-through interactions between local and global climate processes. Urban vegetation may provide a cooling ecosystem service, although many knowledge gaps exist in the biophysical and social dynamics of using this service to reduce climate extremes. To better understand patterns of urban vegetated cooling, the potential water requirements to su…
An integrated conceptual framework for long‐term social–ecological research
The global reach of human activities affects all natural ecosystems, so that the environment is best viewed as a social–ecological system. Consequently, a more integrative approach to environmental science, one that bridges the biophysical and social domains, is sorely needed. Although models and frameworks for social–ecological systems exist, few are explicitly designed to guide a long‐term interdisciplinary research program. Here, we present an…
Ethnic and Class Clustering through the Ages
This paper presents initial findings from longer-term transdisciplinary research concerning the social dynamics of urban neighbourhoods. It examines the spatial clustering of ethnicity and class in neighbourhoods over urban history, from Bronze Age Mesopotamia to contemporary cities. Fourteen distinct drivers of social clustering are identified, grouped under the headers of macro-structural forces, the state, local regimes and institutions, and b…
Household Water Consumption in an Arid City
Reducing consumption in affluent urban households is perhaps the most important driver of future natural resource conservation. This article examines how water consumption in individual households is affected by income and determines whether household amenities or attitudes toward community and the environment mediate the effect of income on residential water use, net of other factors. We matched household social surveys, property characteristics…
Examining the Significance of Housing Enclaves in the Metropolitan United States of America
A significant number of Americans now live in housing that is marked by walls and in many instances by gates. While an increasing amount is written on these enclaves, relatively little research has been done on the developments themselves, the Home Owner Associations (HOAs) that run them, or their residents. This paper draws on the American Housing Survey and the Phoenix Area Social Survey to present demographic information on the housing and to …
Neighborhood microclimates and vulnerability to heat stress
Mechanisms of Disability Discrimination in Large Bureaucratic Organizations
Studies of workplace discrimination have typically focused on empirically unobservable motives to explain ascriptive inequalities associated with class, gender, and race. Such studies usually have overlooked disability as an ascriptive status, and have offered little systematic research on the central question of this study: How, through what mechanisms, does disability discrimination operate in large, bureaucratic organizations? The in-depth per…
Bonding and Bridging
This study investigates the relationship between social connections and collective civic action. Measuring social capital in eight Phoenix, Arizona, neighborhoods allowed the authors to determine that individuals with strong social bonding (i.e., association and trust among neighbors) are more likely to take civic action. However, while social capital lessens the relationship between an individual’s social status and the likelihood of taking acti…
The Social Construction of Disability in Organizations
Reasonable accommodation, a provision of the 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act, directs employers to alter the workplace so that qualified workers with disabilities have equal employment opportunity. Data on employees' requests for and employers' responses to reasonable accommodation, reported by people with disabilities, demonstrate that employers are reluctant to modify the social structure of work because of their perceived need to contain …
Poverty Dynamics
The forgotten dimension of time: Taking account of time - issues: definition and measurement of poverty the relief of poverty and prevention of dependency income maintenance, compensation and redistribution targeting and administration of benefits.

Teenage Mothers in Nuclear and Extended Households
As an initial step in expanding our understanding of the influence of family context on adolescent mothers, this article investigates the patterns of, and factors associated with, their household arrangements. Although adolescent mothers are at great risk of eventually living in female-headed households and facing economic hardship, past research has said little about the households of these young mothers while they are teenagers. Using individua…
Opportunity and Attitudes toward Job Advancement in a Manufacturing Firm
Promotion within organizations is increasingly recognized as an important mechanism for socioeconomic attainment during the course of individual careers. In addition to the material benefits that promotions convey, they also have symbolic meaning in American society as the principal way that individuals participate in the ideology of success. This paper uses data on production and clerical workers in one manufacturing plant to show that opportuni…
Federal job training programs and employment outcomes
Craftworkers and Clerks
This paper assesses the impact of hostility from male co-workers on women working in non-traditional blue-collar jobs. We compare women in traditionally male craft jobs with women in traditionally female clerical jobs, using five dimensions of job satisfaction: pay, work content, promotion opportunities, supervisors, and coworkers. We find that women in traditionally male blue-collar jobs are satisfied with their jobs and, contrary to the mainstr…
After the Pioneers
This article uses data from a three-year study of one large industrial firm to illustrate fundamental distinctions between the pioneer era, when women and minorities struggled individually for access to predominantly white male jobs, and the postpioneer era that occurred after equal employment policies were institutionalized by the firm. Internal labor market theory provides a framework for analyzing the effects of organizational changes during t…
