Interests: Urban neighborhoods, gentrification, racial and socio-economic segregation/integration, learner-centered approaches to teaching and learning. Projects: I am examining three Northeast Portland neighborhoods that are racially and socio-economically mixed, looking at residents, businesses, and community organizations. Using mixed methods, I am analyzing informal interactions, participation in neighborhood organizations, and view of neighborhood changes. This project has several facets that have already been completed: (1) 646 surveys of residents, (2) 111 follow-up interviews with residents who participated in the resident surveys, and (3) 164 surveys of businesses and organizations. I am currently using NSF funding to conduct (4) approximately 80 follow-up interviews with long-time organizations and businesses to examine whether and how they are adapting to neighborhood racial and socioeconomic changes. I am also part of a university-wide group of faculty who are discussing (5) ways of improving our teaching through learner-centered teaching and learning. Parts of this research have been funded by the National Science Foundation (Sociology), National Science Foundation (Research Experiences for Undergraduates), the American Sociological Association's Fund for the Advancement of the Discipline, and various grants from Portland State University. |
