    NIMBY By Design: How Renters’ Voices Go Unheard

    Think about where you lay your head at night: Whether it’s an apartment, a house or a condo, do you own the place you sleep in?   While it’s more common to own a home than to rent one, there are more people renting now in the United States than at any point since 1965.    More than 45 million households in this country are rentals—that’s more than a third of all households in the United States, made up of more than 100 million residents.   And if you’re one of those 100 million renters, one University of Denver researcher says, you’re at a disadvantage. You’re a legal tenant—but are you being treated as one?   On this episode of RadioEd, Emma chats with Sarah Schindler, a professor at DU’s Sturm College of Law and a property and land use scholar, about the multitude of ways that renters are treated as second-class citizens in the eyes of the law.  Sarah Schindler is nationally recognized for her scholarship, which focuses on property, land use, local government, and sustainable development. Her articles have been widely praised as creative and insightful additions to these fields.  At DU, Schindler teaches property, land use, local government, real estate transactions, and animal law. Schindler is a musician, a vegan, a mountain climbing enthusiast, and an avid urban cyclist. She lives in Denver with her husband, son, and dog.  More Information:  National Multifamily Housing Council  Neighbors Without Notice: The Unequal Treatment of Tenants and Homeowners in Land Use Hearing Procedures by Sarah Schindler and Kellen Zale

    An Invisible Disability: The Crisis of Brain Injuries in the Courts

    Show Notes Brain injuries are often described as an invisible disability.   You don’t necessarily know just by looking at somebody that they have a brain injury, and they may not even know they have one. But inside, things can be very different.  The World Health Organization has identified brain injury as a significant public health concern, and traumatic brain injuries are a major cause of death and disability in the United States.  Without the right care or resources, it’s easy for these injuries to go unnoticed and untreated.   In this episode, Jordyn speaks with Research Assistant Professor Jennifer McMahon about her combined work in Neuropsychology and forensic psychology to protect and advocate for justice-involved individuals. McMahon helps run The Brain Injury Screening Program which is housed in The Denver Forensic Institute for Research, Service and Training, also known as Denver FIRST.  Jennifer McMahon is a research assistant professor at the University of Denver. As Program Director at Denver FIRST (Forensic Institute for Research Service and Training) McMahon oversees the community serving forensic programs. She graduated with a PhD in clinical psychology from John Jay College and a master's degree in forensic psychology from DU.

    How One Researcher Harnesses AI to Tackle Substance Use Among Youth Experiencing Homelessness

    Show Notes Think back to how you made decisions growing up. Whether it was the clothes you wore, where you hung out, who your friends were, and even how you coped with the struggles you faced—who did you confide in?   Was it a friend, a sibling, a parent, a mentor or other trusted adult? It’s likely that peer influence—or how much your personal circle can affect what you do and think— had a big impact.   Peer influence has the power to shape nearly every decision a young person makes, and social media often plays an outsized role in how those everyday conversations occur.  Approximately 95% of youth ages 13 to 17 report using a social media platform—according to recent data reported by the Office of the Surgeon General.   Social media can also help researchers understand the context of certain health-related behaviors by offering real-time insights into trends, interactions and peer influences within online communities.   For example, it can shed light on the challenges faced by vulnerable groups, such as youth experiencing homelessness, who may turn to digital platforms for support, connection, or expression of their struggles. In this episode, Jordyn speaks with Associate Professor of Social Work Anamika Barman-Adhikari about how the social networks of young people experiencing homelessness can influence behaviors like substance use. Anamika Barman-Adhikari is an associate professor of social work at the University of Denver. Her experiences in research, policy and clinical services have collectively helped her to formulate an academic agenda, which is devoted to the prevention of HIV and substance use among high-risk youth and other vulnerable populations. Barman-Adhikari's research interests are broadly centered on understanding the social-contextual determinants of risk and protective behaviors among vulnerable populations, such as unhoused and minority youth.

    Black Wall Street: The Economic Roots of Racial Violence

    Show Notes  Booker T. Washington once said: “An inch of progress is worth more than a yard of complaint.”   A once enslaved man who became an author and speaker in the post-Reconstruction Jim Crow-era South, Washington famously advocated against protest and agitation tactics meant to advance civil rights. Washington’s position was that Black Americans should concentrate on economic progress, rather than desegregation efforts.    Washington believed that economic success would advance Black people in American society and protect them from the violence of the Jim Crow era.   However, this wasn’t always—or even often—the case.   In a paper titled, “An Inch of Progress: Black Business and Black Accountants Fighting Jim Crow Violence,” researchers from the University of Denver have set out to set the record straight on how economics and accounting actually hurt or benefited Black Americans at the time.  In this episode, Emma speaks with Daniels College of Business professor Tony Holder and history professor Kimberly Jones from the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, plus grad student Mayowa Alabi, about their research into the history of racism and accounting.  Anthony D. Holder, PhD, CPA (Inactive), is an associate professor at the University of Denver. He has previously taught at Case Western Reserve University, the University of Toledo and the University of Cincinnati. He also spent a semester teaching in Shanghai, China. He earned his BA in Accountancy at Park University, a Master of Accountancy at Wright State University and a PhD in Accountancy at the University of Cincinnati. He is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Prior to obtaining his PhD, he worked for PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in their auditing and tax departments.  Kimberly Jones is an associate professor of history in the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. Jones studies the experiences of enslaved and free black people across the Atlantic World. Her primary research is centered on the construction of racial identity through medicine and science.  Mayowa Alabi is a graduate student in the Daniels College of Business.

    Breaking The Cycle: How Positive Childhood Experiences Protect Against Trauma

    Hosted by writers Emma Atkinson and Jordyn Reiland, RadioEd is a triweekly podcast created by the DU Newsroom that taps into the University of Denver’s deep pool of bright brains to explore the most compelling and interesting research coming out of DU. See below for a transcript of this episode.  This week, production assistant and DU graduate student Madeleine Lebovic steps in to host.   Show Notes  When Hollywood paints a picture of childhood, it’s often one of nostalgia-tinged wonder. Playing outside, moments of carefree innocence and the highs and lows of the adventure of self-discovery.    But this is not the childhood that everyone experiences. For many, childhood was a place of uncertainty and fear. And when those kids grow up to become parents, those hard realities can impact their own parenting.  How can we break those cycles of intergenerational trauma? This week on RadioEd, Madeleine Lebovic chats with Associate Professor of Clinical Child Psychology Angela Narayan about the surprising science behind reflecting on positive childhood experiences – and how it can help parents counter childhood adversity.   Angela Narayan, PhD, LP, is an Associate Professor in the Clinical Child Psychology PhD Program in the Department of Psychology at the University of Denver (DU). She is also an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). She received her PhD in Clinical Child Psychology from the Institute of Child Development at the University of Minnesota and completed a predoctoral internship and post-doctoral fellowship in the Department of Psychiatry and Child Trauma Research Program at UCSF. Narayan directs a program of research that examines how childhood adversity and positive childhood experiences have enduring effects on development across adolescence, adulthood and parenthood. She is particularly interested in understanding intergenerational pathways of adversity, psychopathology, and resilience in populations with diverse backgrounds.   Narayan is a licensed clinical psychologist in Colorado and a clinical supervisor in the Center for Child and Family Psychology (CCFP) in the DU Department of Psychology. Her expertise is in trauma-informed therapies (e.g., Child-Parent Psychotherapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy) and relationship-based and parent-focused treatments (e.g., Parent Management Training, Interpersonal Psychotherapy).  She also directs the DU Department of Psychology’s PROTECT Lab where researchers study the intergenerational transmission of risk and resilience across families and generations. Links to different versions of the Benevolent Childhood Experiences scale, used to assess positive experiences in childhood, can be found under instruments.  More Information:  Positive childhood experiences predict less psychopathology and stress in pregnant women with childhood adversity: A pilot study of the benevolent childhood experiences (BCEs) scale by Angela Narayan et al.  A multisystem, dimensional interplay of assets versus adversities: Revised benevolent childhood experiences (BCEs) in the context of childhood maltreatment, threat, and deprivation by Angela Narayan et al.   Relationship of Childhood Abuse and Household Dysfunction to Many of the Leading Causes of Death in Adults: The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study by Vincent J Felitti, MD, FACP et al.   Information on ACEs from the CDC

    Protecting Your Future: How Cognitive Decline Affects Financial Decision-Making

    As we get older, things change. Our priorities shift, viewpoints and opinions evolve, and our bodies—and brains—age.   Many of these changes are good—we can celebrate the process of aging as one that invites wisdom and joy. But there are natural consequences of getting older, and one of those consequences is cognitive decline.  Eric Chess is a former medical doctor who has also earned degrees in law and business. Chess is the director of the Paul Freeman Financial Security Program at DU. He seeks to identify the earliest signs of cognitive impairment—and works to protect the lives and financial assets of older people experiencing cognitive decline.  Dr. Eric Chess is a physician, lawyer and professor with a focus on prevention, comprehensive well-being, financial security and older adults. He has over a decade of experience in internal medicine practice (board certified), as a hospitalist and as an outpatient physician. He is currently a Clinical Professor at the University of Denver's Knoebel Institute for Healthy Aging, serving as the founder and director of Aging and Well-being/The Paul Freeman Financial Security Program. Additionally, he serves as an adjunct Professor at the University of Denver's Sturm College of Law and Daniels College of Business. Dr. Chess has an undergraduate degree in economics and political science, and a graduate law degree with experience as an attorney and economic consultant.  The Knoebel Institute for Healthy Aging creates and implements solutions for aging issues through multidisciplinary research, education and outreach by serving as an information clearinghouse for media on matters related to aging; educating and training a diverse workforce to serve a rapidly aging population; and promoting innovation, research and business development related to aging.  The Paul Freeman Financial Security Program combines the expertise of faculty, researchers and students at the University of Denver. Their interdisciplinary team of researchers in law, finance, psychology, social work, business, neuroscience, and medicine is led by Eric Chess, MD, JD. Goals of impact include four main areas: Research and Development; Outreach and Collaboration; Education; and Policy. Part of the program’s core mission is to address the need for more impactful solutions regarding financial exploitation and fraud of older adults. Target areas currently include developing a financial vulnerability scale, leading a state-wide collaboration, developing a financial-protective team legal instrument, and addressing the significant transfer of wealth affecting older adults and potential future generations and clients.

    Trust and Safety: What Communities Want From Police

    What makes you feel safe? Is it a familiar voice on the phone, a particular place, friends or family by your side, your spiritual beliefs or even a favorite blanket?  What about a person outside your personal circle, like a paramedic, a lifeguard, a firefighter or a police officer? 20-year-old Joseph said that people should feel safe around police officers, but that isn’t always the case in Durham, North Carolina—where he lives—and elsewhere. He says, “I think that police officers almost have to have a—not necessarily nurturing aspect, but kind of like a—sense of safety about them. Because you should feel safe around police officers, you know? I don’t necessarily know how to put that in a word, but I think that you should definitely just feel safe around police officers.” So how can police departments increase safety and earn trust in the communities where they work?  University of Denver Assistant Professor of Public Policy Ajenai Clemmons’ research answers these questions that can extend beyond North Carolina. On this episode of RadioEd, co-host Jordyn Reiland chats with Clemmons about how the men she interviewed made sense of policing in their neighborhood—and what they needed to both be safe and feel safe.
