While tensions and clashes between neighbors in diverse neighborhoods are often cause for concern, conflict can be constructive. Everyday conflicts can inspire collaboration, clarify shared expectations, and open opportunities for mutual criticism and dissent

This policy brief critically examines the Housing First turn in U.S. homeless policy. Housing First is a popular model of homeless services that rehouses people experiencing chronic homelessness without preconditions like sobriety, treatment, or employment. The Department of Housing and Urban Development promotes Housing First as an evidence-based practice that grantees should adopt. While I laud this as a step in the right direction, this paper identifies three shortcomings of Housing First that limit its ability to end chronic homelessness. I then discuss two supply-side interventions (i.e., tax credit expansion and integrated public housing) that can compensate for these shortcomings.

We created the Indiana Anthropocene project not only because we reside in this state, but also in order to demonstrate the scope and process of the new epoch in a familiar and defined location. This aerial photography project captures features of the Anthropocene within a regional bounded space, thus collapsing the global into the local. In other words, it provides a visual conceptualization of the geography we live in as a microcosm of the global stage. Furthermore, aerial drone photographs provide vantage points and perspectives of our world that can enhance our perception of society. It allows us to see and connect large-scale processes that otherwise remain hidden from the ground. Images from the sky piece together a complex visual socio-ecological story of how we interact with the environment on immense landscapes.

In recent years, the terms “climate refugee” or “environmental refugee” have featured heavily in news media and popular commentary. Often, such terms are accompanied by shockingly large numbers, referring to everything from current migration levels to future “climate refugee” predictions. While the topic of migration and climate change is of undoubted importance, these ways of approaching the issue oversimplify the complex reality of climate change and distort its relationship to migration. Moreover, by ignoring the various connections between migration and climate change, such narrow framings jeopardize prospects for creating policies that address the root causes leading people to leave their homes

This essay focuses on the socio-spatial significance of Atlanta’s Caribbean Carnival. I describe how members of the Caribbean diaspora use the annual parade as an assertion of belonging that expands the boundaries for black community life. Based on participant observation and analysis of parade routes over the last decade, I argue that Carnival is an example of creative place-making that reveals how Caribbean residents lay claim to places. In the context of the ongoing displacement of blacks from the City of Atlanta and the spatial re-ordering of the population in the metro area, Carnival affirms new sites of black joy.

Policy and scholarly debates on gentrification have mainly focused on displacement or improvements to neighborhood amenities. Less attention has been paid to actively worsening conditions for residents who don’t leave and for whom poor housing conditions are a perverse consequence of gentrification. Mapping city data on apartment code violations, we find that substandard housing conditions are surprisingly concentrated in gentrifying areas and not just low-income neighborhoods. Drawing on ethnographic observations our research finds that in gentrification while bringing new amenities to neighborhoods, can also give strong incentives to landlords to mistreat tenants in an attempt to drive them out intentionally.

This review is a discussion of Deborah J. Cohan’s book, Welcome to Wherever We Are. The stories presented within may be unforunately familiar to some readers, making this book tough to wade through—not because of the writing, but because of the topic and the precision with which Cohan crafts the lived experiences of abuse throughout her life. She is upfront about this reality, noting that this book is about what it means to caregive for an abuser over the course of her life and most intensely for the eight years at the end of her father’s life. Rightfully, and true to ambiguity, she elaborates throughout the book on the delicate balance of trying to love her father at the same time she is trying to process the abuse and her feelings toward him.
这篇评论是对Deborah J. Cohan的书《Welcome to where We Are》的讨论。不幸的是，书中的故事对一些读者来说可能很熟悉，这使得这本书很难读完——不是因为写作，而是因为这个主题和科汉在她一生中精心制作的虐待经历的准确性。她坦率地面对这个现实，指出这本书是关于在她的一生中照顾一个施虐者意味着什么，尤其是在她父亲生命结束前的八年里。正当的，真实的模棱两可，她在整本书中详细阐述了在努力爱她父亲的同时，她试图处理虐待和她对他的感情的微妙平衡。

Before Covid-19, Downtown Detroit was enjoying an urban renaissance, but periphery neighborhoods that were lower priority for revitalization remained “service deserts.” These service deserts resulted in coping strategies, behavioral health outcomes, and neighbors becoming service providers. Residents of these areas also experienced increased vulnerability to the pandemic due to lack of access to information and pre-existing health conditions. This article recounts how residents experience living in a service desert and the subsequent impacts of Covid-19.

While there has recently been increasing attention to public memorials of Christopher Columbus and the national Columbus Day holiday, this article argues for a deeper, sociologically-informed reckoning with the implications of Columbus for racial, cultural, and national identity in the United States. It uses the Italian-American experience as an example that provides insights into immigrant arrival, assimilation, and identity in contexts of racialization and criminalization. Overall, the symbol of Columbus in the Italian American experience is particularly relevant to group identity and collective memory in the U.S., in a moment where many are reconsidering country’s historical narratives.
