{"title":"The lens of community","authors":"Michelle Mohr Carney, Deborah Adams, Amy Mendenhall, Mary L. Ohmer","doi":"10.1080/10705422.2022.2077598","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10705422.2022.2077598","url":null,"abstract":"When asked what community we belong to, how do we respond? Do we define community in terms of our family, faith, profession, or geographic area? Many define communities in terms of space or place (MacQueen et al., 2001). I live in a city, I live in the suburbs, or I live in a rural community. For each member associated with these communities the identified categorization has meaning in terms of relationships that unite the community. Community is a structure, it’s a place, it’s a defined space, but community can also transcend space (Weil et al., 2012). It can be the place where we belong. Where we make meaning. Communities of meaning or those based on shared beliefs, shared experiences, or shared ethnicity also tell the story of the people in the community. The profession of social work differentiates itself from other helping professions with its focus on the person in the environment (Kondrat, 2013). What is the interaction between the environment and the individual? More specifically, what is the relationship between the community and the individuals in that community? We articulate this perspective as the person in environment orientation, but it is really the recognition that it is imperative to understand the interplay between the people and their communities. Community members are impacted by communities experiencing crises whether environmental, racial, economic, or because of an external force like gentrification. The most well-meaning individuals in those places cannot be separated from the trauma of poverty, discrimination, pollution, or war, and the resulting restrictions on life and barriers to meeting basic needs. In general, this issue observes our interaction with communities in three ways, as places that call us back and have meaning in our lives, as vulnerable places where external entities can disrupt or have disregard for community, and as “labs” of sorts where students and young people are recognized as vital members of the community with agency and voice who can engage with communities to impact programs and policies and create a vision for improved futures. This issue opens with an article by Sears et al. (2022) that highlights the resiliency of the Appalachian region in Kentucky where geographic and ontological communities intersect. They examine the interplay between Appalachian roots/identity and the rural isolation of residents. Rather than focusing on the commonly held stigma or deficits of the region as the primary lens, the authors choose to explore why young adults stay. The article speaks to resiliency, commitment to place, and what it means to call a community home.

Results suggest executives working in both fields perceive barriers to collaboration to exist, many of which stem from competing interests, financial concerns, and organizational cultures that do not appropriately emphasize the importance of cross-disciplinary cooperation. Recommendations for overcoming these barriers include ongoing communication, a willingness to compromise, and a shared commitment to improving the lives of people who make affordable housing their home.","PeriodicalId":46385,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Practice","volume":"30 1","pages":"143 - 154"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48518225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, two service-learning practitioners offer “Rights to the City” (RTTC) as a framework to guide what “social change” means in CSL and for undergraduate students preparing to work in community settings. The article outlines three central tenets of RTTC: the democratically reimagined city (DRC), inhabitance, and difference. It then analyzes three case studies from their own service-learning courses to demonstrate the tenets in practice. The article concludes with considerations for how RTTC can shape forms of community-driven partnerships that prioritize social justice outcomes as part of student learning and practitioner training toward radical community practice.","PeriodicalId":46385,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Practice","volume":"30 1","pages":"169 - 180"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43239967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing McMillian and Chavis’s Sense of Community as a theoretical framework, we implemented photovoice to explore how former chronically homeless residents experienced their new housing community. Findings shed light on the ways residents experience community and are organized into three themes: participation in the neighborhood; depictions of home; and solidarity based on prior homelessness. Methodologically, photovoice provides the opportunity to rewrite narratives of homelessness by people who have experienced it.","PeriodicalId":46385,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Practice","volume":"30 1","pages":"155 - 168"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43134742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the extent to which social workers meet this expectation is unknown. Using data from a 2019–2020 survey of students who were enrolled in U.S. social work programs (N = 725), this study examined the predictors for engaging in TNB activism, including interaction effects between subdomains of the adapted Ally Identity Measure and students’ personal endorsement of a Critical Orientation to Social Justice. We found that both students identifying as LGBQ and having more TNB people in one’s social network were associated with an increase in engaging with TNB activism. Among our social work educational variables, we found that students who have a mixed micro/macro focus, those who had taken a course on power, privilege, and oppression, and those who had engaged in intergroup dialogue were more likely to engage in TNB activism. Finally, we found that the interaction effects between the Critical Orientation to Social Justice Scale and two of the adapted Ally Identity Measure subdomains were significant.","PeriodicalId":46385,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Practice","volume":"30 1","pages":"181 - 202"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44934856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using Constructivist Grounded Theory methods, we present doing place as a context specific framework that highlights three dynamic and multi-directional strategies that guided participants’ decisions, commitments, and meaning making. Working out place emphasized how place is acquired and navigated. Keeping peace in place highlighted the strategies engaged to maintain relationships and well-being in place. Connecting to the big picture depicted how meaning making is infused throughout these experiences. These including working out place, keeping peace in place, and connecting to the big picture.

We analyzed the relationships between story-sharing and emotional expression on increased support for the initiative using multivariate regression. The results suggest that story-sharing does predict attitude change, but only when combined with emotional expression.
