Neighborhood Change, Social Capital,
and Leisure as a Form of Collective Resistance
Dr. Glover is completing an interpretive study of a neighborhood
association in North Champaign and its efforts at community revitalization,
which include leisure-related initiatives such as building a community
garden and organizing a community festival. The neighborhood in which
the study is being conducted is characterized by its diversity with respect
to race, ethnicity, and socio-economic status of residents. In part, the
project aims to explore how a diverse group of residents mobilized itself
at the grassroots to work toward positive neighborhood change.
