Authors:Genesis Fuentes Pages: 8 - 9 Abstract: Contexts, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 8-9, Spring 2022. Christy E. Lopez joined the Georgetown faculty as a Distinguished Visitor from Practice in 2017, and was made Professor from Practice in 2020. From 2010 to 2017, Professor Lopez served as a Deputy Chief in the Special Litigation Section of the Civil Rights Division at the U.S. Department of Justice. She recently sat down for an interview with Contexts Managing Editor, Genesis Fuentes, to discuss her time at the Department of Justice where she was the primary drafter of the Ferguson Report.

Authors:Sara Duvisac, Gianpaolo Baiocchi, Aviqail Vantu Pages: 10 - 15 Abstract: Contexts, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 10-15, Spring 2022. 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.

Authors:Matthew Delsesto Pages: 16 - 23 Abstract: Contexts, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 16-23, Spring 2022. 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.

Authors:Catherine Simpson Bueker, Teal Rothschild Pages: 24 - 29 Abstract: Contexts, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 24-29, Spring 2022. In a small coastal vacation community heavily dependent upon foreign workers, in-depth interviews with employers, participant observations, and an analysis of social artifacts evidence patterns of neo-assimilation, in the form of fused cuisine on menus, altered attitudes towards native-born workers among employers, and in a small number of cases, intermarriage. Findings also illustrate employer engagement with the culture of their workers and a sophisticated understanding of the global dynamics of international migration and work.

Authors:Pilar Morales-Giner, Cristina Ramos Pages: 30 - 35 Abstract: Contexts, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 30-35, Spring 2022. 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 Citation: Contexts PubDate: 2022-06-21T03:34:52Z DOI: 10.1177/15365042221107659 Issue No:Vol. 21, No. 2 (2022)

Authors:Stephanie Hartwell, Toycia Collins, John T. Tarchick, Zaid Mohsen Pages: 36 - 43 Abstract: Contexts, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 36-43, Spring 2022. 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.

Authors:Zach Schrank Pages: 44 - 51 Abstract: Contexts, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 44-51, Spring 2022. 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.

Authors:Kimberly Creasap Pages: 55 - 57 Abstract: Contexts, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 55-57, Spring 2022. This article traces the “shadow geographies” of the 1980s gay bar scene in Ohio’s capital, Columbus, and contrasts it with the emergence of LGBTQ movements in Midwestern small towns. Urban gay bar scenes have declined since at least 2009, and the COVID-19 pandemic has only hastened their demise. At the same time, pride events have emerged in the communities like Parkersburg, West Virginia; Washington, Pennsylvania; Marysville, Ohio, and; and many other cities and towns with populations under 50,000 people. The decline of urban gay bars does not mean the demise of LGBTQ activism; it just means that we should look for activism outside of urban centers.

Authors:Regine O. Jackson Pages: 57 - 59 Abstract: Contexts, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 57-59, Spring 2022. 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.

Authors:Juan Manuel Pedroza Pages: 60 - 63 Abstract: Contexts, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 60-63, Spring 2022. In the US, the weight of immigration enforcement falls disproportionately on immigrants from Haiti and Central America. How can we tell' I use deportations and immigrant population data to compare which origin countries account for an unexpectedly high number of deportations – after taking into account their share of the nation’s unauthorized immigrant population. These data sources help us see whether deportations by nationality are uneven. In recent years, immigrants from select countries of origin (especially Haiti and Central America) are overrepresented among deportees when considering each origin country’s contribution to the United States’ unauthorized immigrant population.

Authors:Sarah E. Patterson Pages: 64 - 65 Abstract: Contexts, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 64-65, Spring 2022. 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.

Authors:Garrett l. Grainger Pages: 66 - 69 Abstract: Contexts, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 66-69, Spring 2022. 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.

Authors:Danielle Bessett Pages: 72 - 72 Abstract: Contexts, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 72-72, Spring 2022. I know that the recently leaked draft from the U.S. Supreme Court portends a decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health that will harm pregnant people and our society. From my expertise as a medical sociologist who studies abortion care, I know that allowing the restriction of abortion will result in more maternal deaths, more health disparities by race and class, more harm to families. I know abortion restrictions damage relationships between pregnant people and their health care providers and limit class mobility.
