Congratulations to UEL Fellow Faith Deckard & Javier Auyero on their recent paper in Annual Review of Sociology!

The paper is titled “Poor People’s Survival Strategies: Two Decades of Research in the Americas.”

They state, “Our review systematically describes the individual and collective strategies poor residents use to navigate daily dangers. We advocate for the incorporation of personal safety into the study of poor people’s survival strategies and identify as a promising research endeavor a simultaneous attention to ways of making ends meet and coping with interpersonal and state violence.”
