Civic engagement and community-based learning create new opportunities for higher education to enliven student learning, transform communities, and enhance our collective understanding of democracy in place and over time. To that end, Bachin and Howard (eds.) Engaging Place, Engaging Practices explores various examples of the engaged urban university and the practices deployed by faculty to promote civic engagement. The collection’s chapters demonstrate how public history, as well as action-oriented research, can be effective learning vehicles that simultaneously reconcile the past to chart new collaborative futures (Howard & Byrum), excavate local histories (Souther), and create grassroots projects to enhance access to and increase the visibility of local resources (Bachin). The collection also has an example of how neighborhood histories can be deployed to increase everyday understandings of climate change and assess local impacts on residents (Hurley). In each of these examples, the authors and their students leverage new technologies and spatial approaches (GIS and StoryMaps) to empower and inform communities. Finally, using role playing, Gudis (Chapter 6) enlivens local histories and provides students with a powerful performative lens through which to understand and explore social change in place. The book’s most ambitious example of the impact urban universities can make on communities is Chapter 2: Toward Creating the Democratic, Engage Urban University by Harkavy, Hodges, Puckett, and Weeks. Drawing on the experience of the University of Pennsylvania, the chapter explores the capacity of universities to promote social change through gentrification, indifference (neglect or disregard), partial engagement, and full engagement (p. 43)— and they provide examples of how the institution has engaged in practices over time that corresponds to all four categories. And, as the authors demonstrate, universities need not simply be agents of gentrification or engage in policies that promote benign neglect. Rather, higher education can and must foster community-based partnerships that seek to “transform” neighborhoods, improve schools, and advance teaching, learning, research, and service (p. 55). To that end, the authors describe the creation and evolution of a community-focused university center in 1992, now known as the Netter Center for Community Partnerships, which oversees academic engagement programs, as well as Penn’s university assistant schools’ initiative. In nearly all the chapters, the authors demonstrate that sustained collaboration and committed university leadership are essential to ensure that the potential and power of urban universities can be leveraged to promote positive change. Although the Penn example underscores what can be done when institutions commit to urban engagement, the other chapters demonstrate how instructors and individual courses can make a difference in the lives of students and residents. As such, the collection
公民参与和以社区为基础的学习为高等教育创造了新的机会,以活跃学生的学习,改变社区,并增强我们对当地和长期民主的集体理解。为此,巴辛和霍华德(编著)参与的场所,参与的实践探索了城市大学参与的各种例子,以及教师为促进公民参与而部署的实践。该系列的章节展示了公共历史以及行动导向的研究如何成为有效的学习工具,同时调和过去,绘制新的合作未来(Howard & Byrum),挖掘当地历史(southern),并创建基层项目,以增加对当地资源的访问和可见度(Bachin)。该系列也有一个例子,说明如何利用社区历史来增加对气候变化的日常理解,并评估当地对居民的影响(Hurley)。在这些例子中,作者和他们的学生利用新技术和空间方法(GIS和StoryMaps)来授权和告知社区。最后,通过角色扮演,古迪斯(第六章)生动地呈现了当地的历史,并为学生提供了一个强大的表演镜头,通过它来理解和探索当地的社会变革。书中关于城市大学可以对社区产生影响的最雄心勃勃的例子是Harkavy, Hodges, Puckett和Weeks的第2章:迈向民主,参与城市大学。根据宾夕法尼亚大学的经验,本章探讨了大学通过士绅化、冷漠(忽视或漠视)、部分参与和全面参与来促进社会变革的能力(第43页),并提供了该机构如何在一段时间内从事与所有四种类别相对应的实践的例子。而且,正如作者所证明的那样,大学不需要简单地成为中产阶级化的代理人,也不需要参与促进良性忽视的政策。相反,高等教育能够而且必须促进以社区为基础的伙伴关系,寻求“改造”社区,改善学校,推进教学、学习、研究和服务(第55页)。为此,作者描述了1992年一个以社区为中心的大学中心的创建和演变,现在被称为奈特社区伙伴关系中心,负责监督学术参与项目,以及宾夕法尼亚大学助理学院的倡议。在几乎所有的章节中,作者都证明了持续的合作和坚定的大学领导对于确保城市大学的潜力和力量能够被利用来促进积极的变化至关重要。尽管宾夕法尼亚大学的例子强调了当机构致力于城市参与时可以做些什么,但其他章节展示了教师和个别课程如何改变学生和居民的生活。因此,该系列提供了各种规模的例子-从街区,社区,城市和地区学校的“……在此过程中,编辑们认为,参与其中的大学能够而且应该在塑造“包容、公平和可持续”的社区方面做得更多,大学需要在covid -19后的世界中发挥更大的领导作用(第189页)。当然,在几个例子机构的情况下,值得认识到的是,许多机构——特别是城市公共机构——可获得的财政资源比那些由数十亿或数十亿美元捐赠基金(里士满、宾夕法尼亚和迈阿密)支持的更富有的私人机构要有限得多。因此,社区参与的规模和范围将因机构类型、使命和地理位置而异。作为一名应用型学者和学术管理人员,致力于以社区为基础的学习,从事学术研究和公共服务,促进当地经济发展机会,加强当地工业,促进协作性综合书评

Residential and employment locational decisions for working households are frequently commingled. Numerous economic and social factors like job accessibility, wage differentials, housing markets, travel time, trip-chaining opportunities, dual employment, and other quality-of-life considerations influence where a household ultimately chooses to reside relative to places of employment. These choices in turn shape commuting patterns within a region. Using the U.S. Census Bureau's LEHD Origin-Destination Employment Statistics (LODES), the authors explore longitudinal changes in the growth of commuting patterns based on commuters traveling 50 miles or more between their place of residence and place of employment for counties in Midwestern states from 2002 to 2019. The authors find that the rate of commuters traveling 50 miles or more appears to have increased in rural areas across several periods and regions. Thus, rural communities concerned about labor supply constraints must take into consideration more expansive geographic labor markets and approach labor force development in partnership across local economic development institutions. In essence, the growth in commuting sheds requires stronger regional partnerships to address the issue.
工作家庭的居住和就业地点决定往往是混合的。许多经济和社会因素,如工作可及性、工资差异、住房市场、旅行时间、旅行连锁机会、双重就业和其他生活质量因素,都会影响家庭最终选择居住在就业地点的位置。这些选择反过来又塑造了一个地区的通勤模式。利用美国人口普查局的LEHD原籍地-目的地就业统计数据(LODES),作者探讨了2002年至2019年中西部各州各县通勤者在居住地和就业地之间行驶50英里或以上的通勤模式增长的纵向变化。作者发现,在几个时期和地区,农村地区50英里或以上的通勤率似乎有所上升。因此,关注劳动力供应限制的农村社区必须考虑到更广阔的地理劳动力市场,并与当地经济发展机构合作发展劳动力。从本质上讲,通勤棚的增长需要更强有力的区域伙伴关系来解决这个问题。

The U.S. federal government operates a myriad of programs aimed at assisting businesses, typically small and midsized firms, to improve their performance. This commentary focuses on nonfinancial business support programs and how these programs use logic models to guide data collection efforts. The first step is to capture robust data supporting the need for information as the foundation for effective performance management by program staff and other stakeholders. The second step requires that program managers outline the intermediate outcomes they track and the program’s ultimate impacts. The final step requires blending data that captures program outputs, intermediate results, and ultimate program outcomes.
美国联邦政府实施了大量旨在帮助企业(通常是中小型企业)提高业绩的项目。本评论主要关注非金融业务支持计划,以及这些计划如何使用逻辑模型来指导数据收集工作。第一步是获取强有力的数据,支持将信息作为项目工作人员和其他利益相关者进行有效绩效管理的基础的需求。第二步要求项目经理概述他们跟踪的中间结果和项目的最终影响。最后一步需要混合数据,以获取程序输出、中间结果和最终程序结果。

Since February 2020, severe economic disruption, policy responses, and behavioral shifts have created an uncertain economic future at the global, national, state, and local levels. In the context of this uncertainty, private and governmental decisions need the best available forecasts of long-term economic and demographic growth and change, and a regional economic modeling framework that allows model users to develop alternative forecasts. This commentary provides 10-year economic and population forecasts for the top 20 U.S. metropolitan areas, using REMI—a comprehensive economic/demographic forecasting model. While it focuses on metropolitan areas, the fundamental demographic and economic factors that guide the future of a region are the same. States, cities, and rural areas have underlying demographic and economic forces that will determine their destiny.
自2020年2月以来,严重的经济混乱、政策反应和行为转变在全球、国家、州和地方各级造成了不确定的经济未来。在这种不确定性的背景下,私人和政府的决策需要对长期经济和人口增长和变化的最佳预测,以及允许模型用户制定替代预测的区域经济建模框架。本评论使用remi -一种综合经济/人口预测模型,提供了美国前20大城市10年的经济和人口预测。虽然它关注的是大都市地区,但指导一个地区未来的基本人口和经济因素是相同的。各州、城市和农村地区都有决定其命运的潜在人口和经济力量。

The COVID-19 pandemic brought about an unimagined level of federal investment in regional economic development and much greater political attention to its priorities. Economic development researchers have an opportunity to contribute to an array of federally funded and pandemic-inspired regional experiments, many of which reflect shifting concerns about economic development and what constitutes success. Among these include the importance of addressing historical racial, ethnic, and gender inequalities; the value of research and development as a solution to major human problems; the severity of impending workforce shortages in key sectors; the fragility of many highly efficient global supply chains; and the inadequacy of our underinvested economic data infrastructure to help understand these issues. Researchers have a unique opportunity to examine the regional impacts of national issues by improving public investment logic models, advocating for an improved data infrastructure, and providing evidence to address the long-standing tension between growth and equity as competing economic development priorities.
新冠肺炎疫情使联邦政府对地区经济发展的投资达到了前所未有的水平,并使其优先事项得到了更大的政治关注。经济发展研究人员有机会为一系列由联邦政府资助和受疫情影响的区域实验做出贡献,其中许多实验反映了人们对经济发展以及成功因素的担忧正在转变。其中包括解决历史上种族、族裔和性别不平等问题的重要性;研究和开发作为解决人类重大问题的方法的价值;关键部门即将出现的劳动力短缺的严重性;许多高效全球供应链的脆弱性;以及我们投资不足的经济数据基础设施不足以帮助理解这些问题。研究人员有一个独特的机会,可以通过改进公共投资逻辑模型,倡导改善数据基础设施,并提供证据来解决增长和公平之间长期存在的紧张关系,以此来研究国家问题的区域影响。

Researchers investigating causal estimates of economic development programs face many challenges. This commentary highlights three challenges for future researchers to consider. Specifically, the author discusses how important it is to examine distributional changes and not just mean effects. Additionally, the merits of determining migration effects when studying economic development programs to better understand if original residents benefit from the program are discussed. Finally, the author questions how the pandemic will affect economic development research, particularly relating to how labor markets are defined.

Suggestions for Future Research in the Area of Workforce Development Systems and Regional Economic Development in the United States 对美国劳动力发展体系与区域经济发展领域未来研究的建议

Workforce development systems operate as a linchpin between individuals who desire or need to develop skills that will be remunerated well and will lead to fulfilling careers in the labor market and employers who desire skilled workers who will be productive in the workplace. These systems, however, have been criticized for failings at both ends of the system: they have not served well individuals from underrepresented populations, and they have not been responsive to the changing nature of work and employment relationships. This commentary suggests that these are the most cogent problems to be addressed in future workforce development research. Needed are subgroup analyses of each phase of education and training opportunities: outreach efforts, participation, interest and skill assessments, retention and completion, supportive services, and post-program labor market impacts. Also important will be research into the other side of the market: how can workforce development systems do a better job at inculcating skills that are needed to be productive in the workforce and skills that better meet the future demands of employers?
劳动力发展系统是希望或需要发展技能的个人和雇主之间的关键,这些技能将获得丰厚的报酬,并将在劳动力市场上带来令人满意的职业生涯,而雇主则希望拥有在工作场所富有生产力的技术工人。然而,这些系统因系统两端的失败而受到批评:它们没有很好地服务于代表性不足的人群中的个人,也没有对工作和就业关系的变化做出反应。这篇评论表明,这些是未来劳动力发展研究中需要解决的最有说服力的问题。需要对教育和培训机会的每个阶段进行分组分析:外联工作、参与、兴趣和技能评估、保留和完成、支持服务以及项目后劳动力市场影响。同样重要的是对市场另一面的研究:劳动力发展系统如何更好地灌输劳动力生产力所需的技能和更好地满足雇主未来需求的技能?

Arts and journalism enterprises may serve as effective economic development tools for small cities and neighborhoods. The author demonstrates how a new, for-profit, weekly newspaper serving a Minnesota city of 12,000 residents in a county of 36,000 has diversified and energized a depopulated downtown and surrounding region. Through powerful investigative reporting and by investing in and hosting exhibits by area artists, the newspaper has attracted new businesses into adjacent unoccupied retail spaces.
艺术和新闻企业可以成为小城市和社区的有效经济发展工具。作者展示了一份新的营利性周报是如何为明尼苏达州一个3.6万人口的县的1.2万居民提供服务的,它使人口减少的市中心和周边地区变得多样化并充满活力。通过强有力的调查报道,以及投资和举办地区艺术家的展览,该报吸引了新的企业进入邻近的空置零售空间。

While several inclusionary economic development policies may appear similar to traditional economic development policies, they are different in focusing on four key concerns. First, they are more focused on creating greater economic opportunities for minorities and people struggling in poverty. Second, they promote policies that positively impact the economic and social well-being of future generations. Third, they encourage environmental and social sustainable development. Finally, the author argues that they should also concentrate on improving workplace conditions for all employees.
虽然一些包容性经济发展政策可能看起来与传统经济发展政策相似,但它们在关注四个关键问题方面有所不同。首先,他们更加注重为少数民族和贫困人口创造更多的经济机会。第二,它们促进对后代的经济和社会福祉产生积极影响的政策。第三,它们鼓励环境和社会的可持续发展。最后,作者认为,他们还应该集中精力改善所有员工的工作条件。

A smart public workforce system requires customized tools to help customers navigate through the complexities of finding a job or finding qualified workers. It also requires that information flow in both directions—from customers to the workforce system and vice versa. This commentary shows some early attempts at constructing algorithms to develop tools and proposes research that is necessary for future refinements. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), the federal program that provides most funds and guidance for the nation's public workforce system, offers some direction for states to follow in constructing various aspects of these tools. The early attempts include a pilot for Georgia, called Frontline Decision Support System (FDSS), and the Value-Added Performance Improvement System (VAPIS) for the state of Michigan. Future research must answer questions such as the efficacy of AI over regression, and how does one go about evaluating such tools.
一个智能的公共劳动力系统需要定制的工具来帮助客户解决找工作或寻找合格工人的复杂性。它还要求信息双向流动——从客户到劳动力系统,反之亦然。这篇评论展示了一些早期构建算法以开发工具的尝试,并提出了未来改进所需的研究。《劳动力创新与机会法案》(WIOA)是为国家公共劳动力系统提供大部分资金和指导的联邦计划,为各州在构建这些工具的各个方面提供了一些方向。早期的尝试包括在佐治亚州进行试点,称为前线决策支持系统(FDSS),以及在密歇根州进行增值性能改进系统(VAPIS)。未来的研究必须回答诸如人工智能对回归的功效,以及如何评估这些工具等问题。
