After a cascade of failures left residents of Flint, Michigan, without a reliable and affordable supply of safe drinking water, citizens spent years demanding action from their city and state officials. Complaints from the cityÕs predominantly African American residents were ignored until independent researchers confirmed dangerously elevated blood lead levels among Flint children and in the cityÕs tap water. Despite a 2017 federal court ruling in favor of Flint residents who had demanded mitigation, those efforts have been incomplete at best. Assessing the challenges that community groups faced in their attempts to advocate for improved living conditions,ÊTainted TapÊoffers a rich analysis of conditions and constraints that created the Flint water crisis. Katrinell Davis contextualizes the crisis in FlintÕs long and troubled history of delivering essential services, the consequences of regional water-management politics, and other forms of systemic neglect that impacted the working-class communityÕs health and well-being. Using ethnographic and empirical evidence from a range of sources, Davis also sheds light on the forms of community action that have brought needed changes to this underserved community. The Tainted Tap Podcast is a limited series show that explores the origins and the effects of Flint's water crisis. Gonzales, Teresa Irene. 2021.ÊBuilding a Better Chicago: Race & Community Resistance to Urban Redevelopment.ÊNew York:ÊNYU Press.Ê Despite promises from politicians, nonprofits, and government agencies, ChicagoÕs most disadvantaged neighborhoods remain plagued by poverty, failing schools, and gang activity. InÊBuilding a Better Chicago, Teresa Irene Gonzales shows us how, and why, these promises have gone unfulfilled, revealing tensions between neighborhood residents and the institutions that claim to represent them. Focusing on Little Village, the largest Mexican immigrant community in the Midwest, and Greater Englewood, a predominantly Black neighborhood, Gonzales gives us an on-the-ground look at ChicagoÕs inner city. She shows us how philanthropists, nonprofits, and government agencies struggle for power and controlÑoften against the interests of residents themselvesÑwith the result of further marginalizing the communities of color they seek to help. But Gonzales also shows how these communities have advocated for themselves and demanded accountability from the politicians and agencies in their midst.ÊBuilding a Better ChicagoÊexplores the many high-stakes battles taking place on the streets of Chicago, illuminating a more promising pathway to empowering communities of color in the twenty-first century. Williams, Robert. 2021. Garrison State Hegemony in U.S. Politics: a critical ethnohistory of power and corruption in the world's oldest 'democracy'. Peter Lang. Guided by GramsciÕs question of why so many victims support the labyrinth of their oppression, Robert A. Williams queries garrison state machinations in electioneering to promote hegemony. This pioneering ethnography explores the role and function of the U.S.ÊgarrisonÊstate in U.S. electioneering through participant observation of the United StatesÕs largest third partyÑthe Libertarian Party (LP)Ñas a window to wider sociocultural dynamics of covert power in U.S. politics. Some three decades of insider membership roles within Libertarian Party electioneering combined with two years of doctoral fieldwork provide an ethnographic window into cultural hegemony in U.S. electoral politics and sociological analysis of the information warfare that sustains it. Anchored in original and extensive participant observation including interviews and surveys, this ethnography of United StatesÕs sociologically understudied Libertarian Party (LP) probes the power of cultural hegemony to constrain human agency in electioneering. Through a privileged membership point of view by becoming the phenomenon, the author provides a critically reflective analysis of the sociocultural context in which LP electioneering unfolds. Membership roles in Libertarian electioneering range from donors to candidates, from volunteers to party officials, and from anti-authoritarian libertarians to authoritarian conservatives. Exploring its transition from a radical anti-establishment party to a party more in line with mainstream opinion, Williams shows how a memberÕs relations of shared cultural logics constrain her or his behavior to ultimately reproduce garrison state social practices.

The PASS is a collaborative, mixed-methods study led by Bruce Western and Jessica Simes (Boston University), combining fieldwork and interviews with incarcerated people and prison staff, a neurocognitive battery administered to incarcerated respondents, and an analysis of administrative records. Breaking new ground in research on prisons and inequality, the PASS aims to understand how harsh conditions of confinement may affect health and well-being for incarcerated populations, identify the effects of solitary confinement on social and economic outcomes after prison release, and describe the conditions of living and working in high levels of custody in a large U.S. prison system. A primary goal of the project is to clean, code, and analyze the rich administrative, survey, qualitative, and neurocognitive data resulting from the PASS data collection. A second goal of the project is to write up and disseminate findings to a broad range of audiences, including academic, policy, and advocacy audiences. A third goal is to drive data-driven prison reform in the areas of solitaryÊconfinement and reentry. The Justice Lab seeks to foundationally reconceive justice policy through actionable research, community-centered policy development, and the sustained engagement of diverse constituencies. We envision a community-centered future for justice in which healing and resiliency, rather than punishment and surveillance, are used to solve social problems often rooted in racial and economic inequity. All applications must be made through Columbia UniversityÕs Recruitment of Academic Personnel System (RAPS). To apply, please go to: https://pa334.peopleadmin.com/postings/7542 Please upload the following required materials: Cover Letter, 1-2 page statement of research interests, CV, copies of one or two representative publications or preprints (to be submitted as ÒOther Document 1Ó and ÒOther Document 2Ó if a 2nd is submitted), and contact information for at least three references.

Laberge, University of Victoria Annette M. Mackay, West Virginia University Description:Ê The pre-Covid-19 have-have not divide and the 1% versus 99% discourses pale in the face of the current pandemic social and economic horrors. Covid-19 has made visible the gaping fissures in societies and relentless increasing poverty across race, ethnicity, Indigeneity, gender, age, ability, religion etc. In essence, the social stratification social class ladder is buckling under the weight of the cavernous class divide. Even the middle-class, who thought they had a good grip on their rung, are in free fall. The myth of the classless society, political fixation on the middle class and shift away from critical social class analysis to dealing with systemic poverty has left communities and societies in one heap of a mess. Around the world, nations are ravaged by capitalism, neoliberalism, ever evolving Ñisms galore. In colonized nations, stratification ladders are forged with the iron will of colonial and capitalist beliefs and practices. We are in a moment where sociologists are vital to do something about the masses in poverty and being thrown into poverty. Sociologists need to do something about the ever-widening underclass. After decades of research on poverty, too often research downward, little has changed. No one can agree on even how to define poverty in research within sociology and across disciplines. Understandings of poverty and poverty-based research is American-centric and largely from the Global North. Thus, mainstream definitions of poverty (e.g., based on economics) are deeply embedded in colonial notions of Òpoverty.Ó As such, this is how poverty is researched, understood and research knowledge is mobilized. Poverty definition in-fighting aside, what is more central is the massive neglected, excluded, andÊmarginalized knowledges and voices that understand poverty through a decolonial lens, for instance. This session, therefore, seeks to learn from these voices on how they are tackling the structural reasons for poverty. How doÊmarginalized activist researchers, teachers, students, and communities understand poverty and define poverty? How might they be actively engaged in dismantling structures of oppression to stop the echoes of poverty across generations through how poverty is understood and defined? How might those in the margins create seismic shifts in mainstream understandings of and definitions of poverty? How might knowledges from the margins propel us all towards confronting how poverty is destroying lives, communities and societies? This session includes all forms of knowledges and knowledge sharing from traditional papers to storytelling to art. Presenters are encouraged to use diverse forms of knowledge sharing (e.g., story, poetry, traditional academic, bricolage) to engage attendees in revolutionizing and radicalizing poverty definitions.

Cabin, Temple University Discussant:ÊZita Dixon, California State University, Long Beach Description:Ê The session was created in response to two major developments. One was the renewed national spotlight on evictionÊand related issues prompted principally by Matthew Desmond's bookÊEvicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City;ÊShane Phillips'ÊThe Affordable City; and Conor Dougherty'sÊGolden Gates: Fighting for Housing in America. The second was the renewedÊfocus on eviction, rent arrears, and related issues due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The session has four papers which will focus on various aspects of these issues, with insights on innovative approaches to improve preventionÊand copingÊpolicies. Brian Adams, Nicholas Guiterrz and Megan Walsh of San Diego State University present their work on attitudes toward homeless and homeless-serving facilities in San Diego. SoJeong Kim of Yonsei University presents a differentÊlens in a study on whether house ownershipÊoffsets socio-economic inequality. Forest Hangen and Daniel O'Brien of Northeastern University present another perspective on revolutionaryÊhousing by examining how landlords impede efforts aimed at "Moving to Opportunity'. Lastly, the COVID-19 context is examinedÊby Matthew Zhongyi Fowle and Rachel Fyall of the University of Washington in their work on the effect of the pandemic on low-income tenantÊhousing security. The session will be presided over by the organizer, Dr. William Cabin from Temple University, and Zita Dixon of California State University will be the discussant.

Papers in this critical dialogue session highlight the mechanisms within organizations underlying racial and ethnic inequality, turning our attention to the ways that organizations and organizational practices are themselves racialized. The authors draw on a variety of social scientific methods across multiple national contexts to document how pathways to inequality are institutionalized within collective settings, broadening our collective understanding of the ways that racial/ethnic identities intersect with other systems of oppression to shape the experiences of racial and ethnic minorities within organizations. This critical dialogue session is co-sponsored by the Poverty, Class, and Inequality and Racial and Ethnic Minorities divisions of the SSSP.
