New Article on Masters of Social Work Curriculum and Disability Justice by Berridge and Colleagues

CSDE Affiliate Clara Berridge, along with several co-authors, recently published a new article in the Journal of Social Work Education. The authors help address the need to integrate disability justice into Masters of Social Work curricula by describing the process and lessons learned as a team of partnering faculty and disability justice activists and arguing that the intersectional disability justice movement framework is needed to equip students to address urgent issues of social injustice.

Fowle Publishes New Article on Racialized Homelessness

CSDE Trainee Matthew Fowle authored a new paper on racialized experiences of homelessness in Housing Policy Debate. Through a literature review of historical and contemporary research, this article highlights the extensive history of homelessness among Black, Latinx, and Native American communities and finds evidence for racialized pathways into homelessness. The literature points to three primary systems of stratification that drive racial disparities in homelessness: racial economic inequality, housing discrimination and residential segregation, and the homeless response system.

Bratman & Co-authors Develop and Validate Self-Efficacy and Intentions Measures for Time Spent in Nature in New Paper

Time spent in nature is related to improvement in psychological well-being and health, yet most American adults spend very little time in such settings. Recent research from CSDE Affiliate Gregory Bratman and a number of co-authors explores and evaluates a number of self-efficacy and intention measures which are important to facilitate interventions and are strong predictors of health behaviors.

New Research on Reservoir Flows & Fish Incubation from Anderson and Colleagues

Allocating reservoir flows to meet societal and ecosystem needs under increasing water demands and climatic variability presents challenges to resource managers. Often, rivers have been regulated to meet flow and temperature compliance points or mimic historical patterns. In a new publication, CSDE Affiliate James Anderson and several co-authors describe a model for fish incubation survival based on the premise that mortality from thermal stress occurs over a critical window of embryo development.
