  • The Role of Race in Attaining Substantive Representation
    Changing the Local Governing Regime: The Role of Race in Attaining Substantive Representation Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Carla Jackson Willis, M.A. Graduate Program in Political Science The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Harwood McClerking, Advisor Irfan Nooruddin Wendy Smooth John Wright Abstract Many scholars have examined the role of representation by minority elected officials. Underlying this examination was the assumption that black elected officials would represent the interests of black constituents in a way that was better than representation provided by white elected officials. However, support for this assumption has been mixed at best. This dissertation builds upon the political representation literature by assessing the degree to which minority elected officials address the needs of minority constituencies. In order to do this, I examine multiple forms of political representation and determine how they have been operationalized in the areas of resource allocation, local changes in governing regimes, and public attention to the current HIV/AIDS epidemic in African American communities. ii Dedicated to: Charles and Joyce Jackson iii Acknowledgements This project has been a labor of love that would not have been possible without the assistance, encouragement, and diligence of many people. First I’d like to thank my dissertation committee; Harwood McClerking, William Nelson, Irfan Nooruddin, Wendy Smooth, and Jack Wright. Dr. McClerking has taught me how to slow down and work diligently towards finding a clear message that moves the discipline forward. He has repeatedly challenged me to become a better researcher and helped me to develop both the technical and mental fortitude that is necessary in my development as a scholar.

  • The Southern Sociologist
    The Southern Sociologist Volume 41 Number 2 Fall 2009 SSS President’s Message Mark October 15, 2009, on your calendars! That is the deadline for online submissions of papers and suggested sessions for the 2010 Southern Sociological Society Meetings to be held at the Hyatt Hotel in Atlanta, April 21-25. You will receive email announcements and reminders that submissions are open. Planning is underway with Program Co-Chairs John Reynolds (Florida State University) and Don Reitzes (Georgia State University). The Conference theme is “Worlds at Risk at the Turn of the Millennium.” As my message in the summer The Southern Sociologist argued, “risk” is a pervasive sociological phenomenon that has structural as well as random elements. Most of us study aspects of risk across lives and social contexts. Hence, papers that span topics from environmental studies, to race-class-gender dy- namics, health and mortality, public policy and cross-national differences in values and social structures fit with this theme. Please gather your thoughts and plan to participate next April. We have gotten commitments from two great plenary speakers so far: Evelyn Nakano Glenn, President of the American Sociological Association and Professor of Sociology at the University of California at Berkeley and George Ritzer, our colleague from the University of Maryland who is going to share his analysis of aspects of the global financial crisis we are all experiencing in (Continued on page 2) Contents 2009 Call for Papers..........................2 50 Fun Things to do in Atlanta................5 2009 SSS Awards..............................13 The Teaching Corner..........................19 Opportunities................................26 Job Opportunities ...........................27 Southern Sociological Society................29 The Southern Sociologist Page 2 Fall 2009 SSS PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE (Continued from page 1) diverse ways.

THE EFFECTS OF ATLANTA’S URBAN REGIME POLITICS ON THE ATLANTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS CHEATING SCANDAL. by JOHNATHAN MUNGO Under the Direction of Lakeyta Bonnette-Bailey Ph.D. ABSTRACT Atlanta’s Urban Regime was involved at every point in the APS cheating scandal and subsequent fall out. The Anglo-American business elites and African American political leaders cared about the image of Atlanta more than the academic well-being of the students. The business community was driving the policies affecting the school system. These policies ultimately benefitted the well-connected members of the regime. At no point did African American voters operationalize their potential political power in the 2013 city elections after the cheating scandal. INDEX WORDS: Atlanta, Atlanta Public Schools, Atlanta Public Schools Cheating Scandal, Urban Regime, Corporate Education Movement THE EFFECTS OF ATLANTA’S URBAN REGIME POLITICS ON THE ATLANTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS CHEATING SCANDAL.

In Atlanta’s case, the Phoenix represents the city’s rise following the Civil War; it adorns the City’s seal along with the motto “Resurgens,” which means “rising again.” The Phoenix is an apt symbol for the city, which has a long and proud history of self-reinvention – a place where entire industries have been reimagined and where Dr. King’s hopes have been realized in ways few other American cities can boast of. Atlanta is the capital and most populous city in the State of The Atlanta Georgia; it is the cultural and economic center of the Atlanta metropolitan statistical area (MSA), the ninth largest MSA in MSA is home the United States.1 The Atlanta MSA is home to almost 5.5 to almost 5.5 2 million people and 150,000 businesses.

    i Stadiums of Status: Civic Development, Race, and the Business of Sports in Atlanta, Georgia, 1966-2019 By Joseph Loughran Senior Honors Thesis History University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill May 1, 2020 Approved: ___________________________________ Dr. Matthew Andrews, Thesis Advisor Dr. William Sturkey, Reader i Acknowledgements I could not have completed this thesis without the overwhelming support from my mother and father. Ever since I broached the idea of writing a thesis in spring 2019, they not only supported me, but guided me through the tough times in order to create this project. From bouncing ideas off you to using your encouragement to keep pushing forward, I cannot thank the both of you enough. I would also like to thank my advisor, Dr. Matthew Andrews, for his constant support, guidance, and advice over the last year. Rather than simply giving feedback or instructions on different parts of my thesis, our meetings would turn into conversations, feeding off a mutual love for learning about how sports impact history. While Dr. Andrews was an advisor for this past year, he will be a friend for life. Thank you to Dr. Michelle King as well, as her guidance throughout the year as the teacher for our thesis class was invaluable. Thank you for putting up with our nonsense and shepherding us throughout this process, Dr. King. This project was supported by the Tom and Elizabeth Long Excellence Fund for Honors administered by Honors Carolina, as well as The Michel L. and Matthew L. Boyatt Award for Research in History administered by the Department of History at UNC-Chapel Hill.
