“Understanding the Sociopolitical Climate and What That Means for Me and My Existence in this Country”: Qualitative Exploration of Black Immigrant Adolescents’ Critical Action

Journal of Social Issues, Volume 82, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT A growing body of literature has characterized critical consciousness as a developmental asset, especially among minoritized adolescents, given its association with positive developmental outcomes. However, much is unknown about how critical action (a key component of critical consciousness) develops among Black immigrant youth who uniquely ...

Numerical Investigation of Bored Tunnelling Effects on Pile‐Supported Superstructures

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 7, Page 3155-3173, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Tunnelling in urban environments can significantly affect existing buried structures such as pile foundations. However, the current understanding of how tunnelling‐induced ground movements influence the stability and serviceability of piles remains limited. This knowledge gap presents potential risks that must be addressed during tunnel design

‘Manure gets into your veins’: Navigating plural valuation among rural landowners upstream from a Tribe‐led restoration project

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1309-1327, May 2026.
Abstract Ecological restoration projects with diverse interest groups face the continual challenge of engaging values, goals and cultures that may vary greatly among partners. As part of an eco‐cultural, riparian restoration project led by the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation, our research examines the instrumental, relational and intrinsic ...
