"Equality of Educational Opportunity," also known as the Coleman Report, sought answers to two burning questions: (1) How extensive is racial segregation within U.S. schools?; and (2) How adversely does that segregation affect educational opportunities for black students?

The aims of the study were to examine changes in school segregation across different types of municipalities between 1998 and 2011 in Sweden, and to explore the extent to which these changes are the consequences of school choice. Multilevel models were applied to register data using a counterfactual approach. The results showed that school…

Guimond, Laurie; Simard, Myriam – Journal of Rural Studies, 2010
Rural gentrification, which is linked in particular to the migration and permanent settlement in the countryside of middle-class or affluent urbanites, is increasingly affecting contemporary rural communities.

Lehtonen, Olli; Tykkylainen, Markku – Journal of Rural Studies, 2010
All the time the long economic growth period of 1992-2008 prevailed in Finland, the economic landscape was changing constantly and markedly.

Ruggles, Steven – Journal of Marriage and Family, 2011
This study uses a new source of linked census data (N = 6,734) to test theories proposed to explain the high intergenerational coresidence in 19th-century America.

Foulkes, Matt; Schafft, Kai A. – Rural Sociology, 2010
Poverty is frequently conceptualized as an attribute of either people or places. Yet residential movement of poor people can redistribute poverty across places, affecting and reshaping the spatial concentration of economic disadvantage. In this article, we utilize 1995 to 2000 county-to-county migration data from the 2000 United States decennial…

de Groot, Carola; Daalhuizen, Femke B. C.; van Dam, Frank; Mulder, Clara H. – Journal of Rural Studies, 2012
One of the most pressing questions in the rural gentrification literature is whether rural residents face difficulties in finding a home within their locality due to the influx of more wealthy newcomers. In this paper, we investigate the extent to which intended local movers and intended non-local movers have realised their rural residential…

Prout, Sarah – Australian Journal of Education, 2009
Indigenous academic outcomes are in many ways negotiated at the interface between student spatialities--including their residential patterns and choices--and the mainstream school system. The current model of education delivery rewards regular attendance at well resourced schools. Conversely, sporadic interactions with under-resourced schools…

Hartman, Chester – Social Policy, 1979
Displacement has a long history and its effects are well known. In order to combat the problem, we must reject the use of housing as a commodity to maximize profits and concentrate on rights to a decent place to live, in the area of one's choosing, at an affordable cost. (Author/EB)

Recent migrants also received the…
