Mckenzie Boyce, Danielle Schmidt-Larios, and Erin Gaede publish article in the Journal of Rural Studies
Mckenzie Boyce (Assistant Professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics at Oklahoma State University), Danielle Schmidt-Larios (PhD Candidate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the joint departments of Sociology and Community and Environmental Sociology), and Erin Gaede (also a PhD candidate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison) recently published an article with their colleage Yang Cheng in the Journal of Rural Studies. Titled “The Community Capitals Dataset: Quantifying the Community Capitals Framework in the United States,” the study addresses how while the use of the Community Capitals framework is prevalent, measurement varies across studies. The co-authors synthesized these varying approaches to propose a cohesive measure called the Community Capitals Dataset with the goal of improving the usability of the framework for quantitative social science and applied rural research.
