As a result he moved from being a mere livery stable hand to owning his own farm. He reminds me of the privilege I have in America to pursue dreams and be who I can be. 111 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many people supported me, encouraged me, and prayed for me during the dissertation process. There are many that I cannot mention due to space constraints, but to the following, I give heart-felt thanks. First, I thank the committee of Dr. Esterhay, Dr. Imbroscio, Dr. Sussman, and Dr. Vogel and Dr. Whitt for being on my committee. I especially thank Dr. Whitt for graciously tolerating me in 2005 and 2006 when I repeatedly came to his door for help with my dissertation idea and guidance on social network analysis. I also thank all the interviewees/informants who gave me their time and thoughts on healthcare politics. In the process I had the awesome privilege of meeting some exceptional individuals who make Louisville, Kentucky a great city. Also, thanks to the excellent archivists who helped me as I mined for historical information. Dr. Tom Owen at the University of Louisville Archives and Mr. David Morgan at the Louisville City Archives graciously gave invaluable assistance. I had the great fortune to have three very good proof readers who worked quickly and gave me excellent feedback. Thank you Anne Faulls, Amy Mudd and Pam Soto! I thank my program director, lean Henry, LCSW and Gene Hardin, CADC--my c1inicallead at Our Lady of Peace Hospital for allowing me to go out in the afternoons during the spring and summer of 2007 to conduct the field interviews. Thanks to my colleagues (especially Alice Clements CADC) in the Adult Partial Hospitalization IV Program for their support and for reading different drafts of chapters and giving me feedback. I also thank Purander Sarrnah, Ph.D. and Laverne Wheatley-Terry, Ph.D. LMFT, for listening to my angst and for their insightful support. Thanks to the different physicians who read my material and/or gave me moral support during my research and writing. These are Todd Bensenhaver, M.D., David Kissel, M.D., Michael Harris, M.D., Dante Morasutti, M.D., and Gary Weinstein, M.D .. There have been early supportive players present at the right times to give me feedback and encouragement. I thank Drs. John and Sharleen Birkimer (both U ofL emeriti) for guidance when I applied for the Ph.D. program in 2001. I also thank my 9th grade wrestlingll oth grade football coach (and now an administrator) at Southeast Polk High School in Runnells, Iowa Stephen Miller, Ed.D for his advice, feedback and support throughout my whole program. Of course I must thank my family. Words cannot even begin express my gratitude to Leslie, the love of my life and wife of 14 years (half of them in this doctoral program journey) for agreeing to this journey. I thank my children Aimee and Stephen for accepting when Daddy had to be upstairs in the office alone studying or writing and accepting watching videos in my horne office as alternative daddy time too many nights. I must thank my parents, Thomas and Shirley Houvenagle, for their financial and emotional support during the past seven years. Last but certainly the most; I thank God almighty also known as "Jehovah," "EI Shaddai," "Elohim," and the "God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob." In him I live and move and have my being. I thank him for the ability, opportunity and resources to do this. I testify that I have felt his presence and hand in this. To him be the glory! v ABSTRACT ADV ANCING THE KNOWLEDGE OF LOCAL HEALTH CARE POLICY THROUGH THE GROWTH MACHINE THESIS David Houvenagle November 12, 2008 A disciplined-configurative case study design was carried out to explore whether a growth machine exists and shapes local healthcare policy in Louisville. A historical analysis first explored whether a growth machine existed in Louisville in the past and shaped healthcare policy. Second, a network analysis was used to identify the recent contours of the Louisville growth machine. Third, qualitative interviews were conducted with central individuals as indicated by the social network analysis to assess the degree to which local healthcare policy is shaped and driven by the growth machine. The results show that Louisville has consistently had a growth machine which has shaped the limited local healthcare politics and policy allowed by the higher levels of government. The Federal Government's policy to require pluralistic boards of average consumers on public health agencies actually has detached the growth machine as the local power structure from those agencies. The growth machine has not always had consensus due to differing growth agendas as demonstrated by the construction of Southwest Hospital, the break up of the University of Louisville Hospital management consortium, and the reorganization of the Louisville Medical Center Development Corporation. Regardless the growth machine has generally been able to keep the general public out of such decisions and in VI tum find new ways to be unified in the name of growth. Local government in Louisville was and continues to be a supportive player versus dominant player in the growth machine in local healthcare politics and has not been the driver oflocal healthcare policy.

  • ABSTRACT PERMUT, TESSA. Urban Planning, Revitalization, and the Reproduction of Inequality
    ABSTRACT PERMUT, TESSA. Urban Planning, Revitalization, and the Reproduction of Inequality (Under the direction of Dr. Kimberly Ebert). Urban revitalization plays a critical role in housing and community development policy, yet sociological research on gentrification, displacement, and racial turnover often ignores or overlooks it in the reproduction of urban inequality. In this dissertation, I focus on urban planners and the attitudes, processes, and ideologies that underlie their revitalization practices in low-income neighborhoods. I ask: What beliefs, preferences, and dispositions underlie planners’ practices? Why and how do urban planners target neighborhoods for revitalization during a period of urban resurgence? In what ways might these ‘planner factors’ manifest in revitalization plans? In three interrelated articles, I use a mixed-methods approach to investigate planners’ attitudes towards common urban planning practices and revitalization methods during a period of high demand for urban housing. I collect data using semi-structured interviews with urban planners and residents of revitalizing neighborhoods; content analysis of revitalization policies; content analysis of city council minutes, bids, and proposals; participant observation of urban planning forums, courses, and events; and finally, quantitative analysis of data derived from an original survey that I designed and distributed to urban planners who maintain membership with the American Planning Association North Carolina chapter. By bringing sociological theory to bear on the field of urban planning, this project challenges the assumed impartial and constrained practices of urban planning professionals. The findings reveal that urban planners are heavily involved in implementing policy aligned with neoliberal paternalism that reproduces race and class inequality. As a whole, my dissertation demonstrates the relevance of race, class, and the political economy to urban planning in our new era of urban housing demand.
