How Do Crises Impact Policy Debates? The shifting national landscape of discourse on rental housing in the USA
How do crises impact national policy debates? We map the discursive field around rental housing policy in the USA via online speech between 2015–2023 with a framework of six policy areas : (1) private rental, (2) subsidized rental, (3) state-owned, (4) pro-supply, (5) antidevelopment, and (6) fair housing. We measure activity on social media with 36 keywords to create a corpus of 12.7 million posts on the platform Twitter (now X), which proxies p…
Beyond scale
Housing movement coalitions in the United States
Coalitions of formal housing, civil rights and anti-poverty organisations play an important role in urban housing movements. However, the extent and dynamics of these ‘housing movement coalitions’ are not well understood. In this article, I document the geography of housing movement coalitions across 148 US cities using leadership networks among 11.8 million civic leaders. I show that cohesive coalitions of formal housing, civil rights and anti-p…
Using Text as Data to Reveal Changing Organizational Perspectives on Violence Against Women in the United States
Public understanding of violence against women, and appropriate solutions to tackling gender-based violence, have changed enormously over the past 50 years. In this paper, we study how violence against women is practically understood through organizational efforts to frame and combat it in the United States. We use topic modeling and dictionary-based content analysis to explore the missions and programming of 918 service and advocacy nonprofits d…
A Network Approach to Assessing the Relationship between Discrimination and Daily Emotion Dynamics
Discrimination-health research has been critiqued for neglecting the endogeneity of reports of discrimination to negative affect and the multidimensionality of mental health. To address these challenges, we model discrimination’s relationship to multiple psychological variables without directional constraints. Using time-dense data to identify associational network structures allows for joint testing of the social stress hypothesis, prominent in …
The Effect of Community Organizing on Landlords’ Use of Eviction Filing
Eviction filing rates have declined in many large cities in the United States. Existing scholarship on eviction, which focuses on discrete tenant-landlord relationships, has few explanations for this decline. I consider whether community organizing by nonprofit organizations shapes the social organization of communities and causes landlords to file fewer eviction filings. In cities where tenant and anti-poverty organizing has become common, commu…

Can Government Intervention Increase Volunteers and Donations? Analyzing the Influence of Vista With a Matched Design
The United States has long relied on private organizations to provide public services to poor communities. However, while the federal government’s support of the civic sector through grants and contracts is well studied, little research investigates how it subsidizes voluntary organizations through national service programs, such as Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA). In this article, we assess whether nonprofits that receive VISTA members …
Surviving Victimization
Service and advocacy organizations have long struggled to find the appropriate language to name traumatic experiences when working with vulnerable populations. Organizations have been pressed to adopt either "victim"-based language or "survivor"-based language, with both terms seen as having mutually exclusive meanings. However, despite academic and popular debates, no recent studies have documented trends in language used to describe traumatic e…
Union, Premium Cost, and the Provision of Employment-based Health Insurance
The decline of employment-based health plans is commonly attributed to rising premium costs. Using restricted data and a matched sample from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey-Insurance Component, the authors extend previous studies by testing the relationships among premium costs, employment relationships, and the provision of health benefits between 1999 and 2012. The authors report that both establishment- and state-level union densities are…
