“…It should, therefore, come as no surprise that those at the intersections of socioeconomic status, race, gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity disproportionately face negative effects of COVID-19, and gains made toward greater equity are in danger of being not only lost but also reversed (Thompson, 2020;Trochmann, 2019). Racism and xenophobia-especially recently directed at those of Asian descent-point to disturbing tactics of othering and violence (both hierarchical, or keeping people subordinate, and exclusionary, or denying their needs and de-legitimatizing peoples' identities and existence) that demonstrate how fear and prejudice are often boiling just underneath the surface and waiting to surface when the privileged lash out (Haynes, 2020).…”

We are tired. Tired of the blame, the lies, and the political rhetoric we see each day, so detached from reality related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) spread. We write this in the early weeks of April 2020 when the virus is killing thousands of people a day in the United States and continuing to kill as many more throughout the world.We are tired. We both have compromised immune systems that put as at higher risk. We both have a sick parent, one who is locked down in a nursing facility with no visitors allowed, another who cannot access critical medical care and necessary prescriptions given the strain on our healthcare system.We are tired. We can no longer watch press briefings from national political leaders who see this virus as a partisan hoax. Who will seemingly be happy if 200,000 Americans die, calling it a victory when it could have been millions? Who ships personal protective equipment to other nations when our nurses and doctors go without?Yet we are inspired. We are inspired by the public servants who continually step up to provide facts, comfort, and care during eminently scary times. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, has become a household name. University employees are donating medical supplies to local hospitals to make up for the protective equipment deficit. Local elected officials such as city and county mayors are enacting strict stay-at-home measures in an effort to flatten the curve.We need to stop demeaning public servants, as the crucial role of the administrative state is apparent when people need help-when they need life-saving information. We need to ignore elected leaders who only care about their ratings hit and reputation rather than public service. So, we offer you this admittedly angry manifesto that we write while under stay-at-home orders in our respective states. We call it a manifesto because we believe these narratives and practices are becoming increasingly harmful as we continually denigrate public servants and government.

“…These policies are harmful not only because they provide an avenue for officials to remove people who are homeless from public spaces. They also reinforce negative stereotypes and biases held by the broader community, solidifying unhoused citizens' status of "other" (Trochmann, 2019). People who are homeless may avoid attention by maintaining their hygiene or avoiding carrying their possessions with them, both signifiers of their status as homeless.…”

Everyday citizenship and COVID-19: “Staying at home” while homeless

Administrative Theory & Praxis

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In an effort to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, local and state authorities have enacted stay-at-home orders, limiting citizens' movement outside of the home to "essential" activities and work. Although a seemingly mundane action, staying out of public spaces is a form of co-production aimed at co-creating public health value. People who are homeless, lacking the resources needed to stay at home, are unable to equitably participate in this act of co-production. As a result, their status as a citizen in the "everyday" sense is compromised.

“…This recognition of their work by these editors did not extend to the fourth edition (Weible and Sabatier 2018) or the fifth edition (Weible 2023), as the 1993 social construction theory viewed as a framework (Srivastava 2020) was now characterized as worthy but no longer to be highlighted in this influential publication. Recent research has argued that the social construction theory of Schneider and Ingram should not have been reinterpreted as a framework, decreasing its popularity (Barbehön 2020), with several current publications making use of social construction theory as it was intended by these 1993 authors (Gándara and Jones 2020;Nicholson-Crotty et al 2021;Trochmann 2021). The work of Schneider and Ingram has been taken up recently as a theory rather than a framework in relation to children (Collins and Mead 2021).…”

A Scoping Review of Children, Empowerment, and Smartphone Technology Regarding Social Construction Theory with the Aim of Increasing Self-Direction in Democracies

Children are Dependents in a version of social construction theory regarding their inability to self-direct their behavior in democratic society. In this regard, childhood represents a lack of self-direction, a life period when people require the guidance and protection of adults. The assumed necessity of adults supervising children in democracies necessitates substantial social resources, reducing the self-direction of those charged with overseeing children. Given that self-direction defines the optimal experience of people within a democratic society, finding ways to increase the self-direction of children is an individual and a social benefit. In this regard, smartphones have improved self-direction in children. How children have become empowered to self-direct their lives with smartphone use considering social construction theory—as Advantaged, Contenders, or Deviants—is the focus of a scoping review conducted on “children, empowerment, smartphones” of the following databases: OVID, JSTOR, ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The result is that children permitted to self-direct their activities aided by smartphone technology have comparable social behavior to adults positioned as Advantaged, Contenders, or Deviants, and as such, they should be encouraged to utilize smartphone technology to improve their self-direction, as doing so will augment individual and caregiver self-direction, providing increased social benefit.
