“…Little resilience scholarship thoroughly operationalizes, and thus distinguishes, between process and outcome measures (Doorn 2017), with the notable exception of Kafle (2012) who understands process as accounted for through degree of community participation. From an environmental justice perspective, it is vital for community members to participate in decision making processes with respect to rebuilding after a disaster, as community responses to disaster may differ significantly from those proscribed by government officials (Morello-Frosch et al 2011).…”

While the story of the Flint water crisis has frequently been told, even sympathetic analyses have largely worked to make invisible the significant actions of Flint residents to protect and advocate for their community. Leaving the voices of these stakeholders out of narratives about the crisis has served to deepen distrust in the community. Our project responds to these silences through a community-driven research study aimed explicitly at elevating the frame of Flint residents in and around the Flint water crisis. This paper describes the coming together of the research team, the overall project design for each of the three research efforts, and lessons learned. The three sub-projects include: (1) a qualitative analysis of community sentiment provided during 17 recorded legislative, media, and community events, (2) an analysis of trust in the Flint community through nine focus groups across demographic groups (African American, Hispanic, seniors, and youth) of residents in Flint, and (3) an analysis of the role of the faith-based community in response to public health crises through two focus groups with faith based leaders from Flint involved with response efforts to the water crisis. Our study offers insight for understanding trust in crisis, which could be valuable to other communities and researchers seeking to address similar situations. The project offers community science as a model for considering community engagement in research as part of the process of resilience.

“…Non-profit organizations may increase access to meaningful civic participation opportunities. A high density of non-profit organizations is linked to collective action (Sampson et al, 2005), community resilience (Morello-Frosch, Brown, Lyson, Cohen, & Krupa, 2011), and curbing violence (Kennedy, 2007;Sampson et al, 2005).…”

Historically and contemporarily marginalized youth who are disproportionately exposed to community violence are often the same youth who are less likely to be civically engaged. However, the community violence and civic engagement literatures have not yet fully explored how these experiences may be linked in young people's lives and in relation to what other forces. Using developmental assets and ecological-transactional frameworks, we review the emerging literature on civic engagement among youth exposed to community violence and how external developmental assets and neighborhood collective efficacy may create opportunity for their increased civic engagement. We present numerous conceptually-and empirically-based hypotheses to further examine the intersections between exposure to community violence and youth civic engagement. Ultimately, we identify opportunities for intervention.This literature review explores if and how youth civic engagement experiences vary by exposure to community violence (ETV), and suggest future directions for research and practice. We begin by justifying why this work is warranted, providing examples of violence exposures that youth experience, and describing the development of civic engagement across adolescence and into adulthood. We then review theoretical and empirical evidence that demonstrates how civic engagement can be part of resilience expressed by violence-exposed youth and be leveraged in youth-led actions to mitigate that violence. We follow by reviewing the literature on inequalities in civic engagement and exposure to community violence, documenting how structurally marginalized young people are often both less civically engaged and more exposed to community violence. We proceed to explore possible interventions that can support civic engagement among youth exposed to violence. We conclude by offering recommendations for future research and implications for policy and practice to enhance opportunities for civic engagement among youth exposed to community violence.

“…The issue of procedural justice is closely associated with issues of participation and stakeholder engagement (C. Johnson, Penning-Rowsell, & Parker, 2007) and it comes up in much of the literature in this review (cf., Gaillard et al, 2013;Kusumastuti et al, 2014;Morello-Frosch, Brown, Lyson, Cohen, & Krupa, 2011;Zou & Wei, 2009). Compared to procedural justice, conceptualizing distributive justice is more difficult.…”

Abstract:This paper presents a systematic review of the concept of resilience in the field of disaster management, with a focus on the use of indicators and the inclusion of social justice considerations. The literature is reviewed with reference to various definitions of resilience, the relation between concepts of resilience and vulnerability, the conceptualization of resilience and the use of indicators, and the inclusion of social justice issues. The analysis shows that different disciplines employ various definitions of resilience and conceptions of its relation to vulnerability. Although recognized as important, distributive issues are not currently addressed in the literature. As a result, we lack a clear sense of what equality or distributive justice should mean in the context of resilience and disaster management. An approach based on capabilities is proposed as a promising way forward.
