Session Submission Summary

20803 - Fragile Communities: Residents Coping with Shocks, Changes, and Inequities

Sat, August 9, 2:00 to 3:30pm, East Tower, Hyatt Regency Chicago, Floor: Concourse Level/Bronze, Michigan 1A

Description

Resilience is a popular, if problematic, concept in community research. These papers in this session examine how communities of all sizes cope with shocks, changes, and inequities, whether in the form of pandemics, disasters, loneliness, or population change. The research projects offer new possibilities for studying residents' perceptions of community life, as well as the ways external policies and social forces impact small towns, suburbs, cities, and rural places.
