• The Lens of Race: Whiteness and Architectural Photography at Case Study House #22

  Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians · 2024-08-16

  article1st authorCorresponding

  Abstract Julius Shulman’s 1960 photograph of Case Study House #22 is one of the most famous architectural images of the twentieth century, yet it has received little critical scrutiny. This article examines Shulman’s photograph to demonstrate the ways this iconic image of residential architecture is deeply intertwined in the production and reproduction of ideas about race in the United States. It scrutinizes how such an image may be complicit in the formation of white supremacy and urges architectural historians to recognize that structures that have permitted the harms and violence of racism are everywhere. Moreover, such structures are so deeply embedded, they are frequently unseen by those who use them.

Fortunately, we are witnessing the emergence of publications that are serving as a corrective and beginning to shift the field in important ways. Kristina Wilson’s Mid-Century Modernism and the American Body contributes to this literature with a particular intervention in the critical studies of whiteness, focusing on the material culture of midcentury domesticity. Whiteness studies are typically political projects at their core; namely, they aim to dismantle white supremacy by shedding light on its structures, systems, and modes of operation. As a branch of critical race theory, studies of whiteness take... You do not currently have access to this content.

The time could not have been more propitious, for the Society had just recently moved from Philadelphia to Chicago to take up residence in a landmark building. Scaling up from a small foundation office hidden in a Philadelphia row house, the new office matched the ambitions of a society that was ever more expansive in its publishing and range of activities and outreach, going digital even as it became steward to one of Chicago’s most important late nineteenth-century houses.

• Food Insecurity, Meal Behaviors, Beverage Intake, and Body Mass Index in Underserved Adolescents

  OBJECTIVE: Associations between food insecurity, meal patterns, beverage intake, and body mass index (BMI) were investigated using data from the Howard Meharry Adolescent Caries Study. METHODS: Secondary analyses of food security status used the Wilcoxon rank sum, chi-square, and Fisher's exact tests. RESULTS: The group of adolescents (n=627) was 42.1% male, 14.2±1.9 years, 86.9% African American, and 19.9% food-insecure. Meal frequency, meal structure, most beverage intake, and BMI did not differ by food-security status. Adolescents from Washington, DC were more likely to be food insecure than adolescents from Nashville, TN (P=0.003). Most had unstructured meal patterns and irregular breakfast intake. Median milk intake was below and sugar-sweetened beverage intake above dietary recommendations. CONCLUSIONS: This study extends our knowledge concerning food insecurity in urban African American adolescents and suggests public health initiatives designed to encourage meal structure, increase milk intake, and reduce sugar-sweetened beverage intake can improve diet quality of underserved youth.

  Among Black adolescents in this study who brushed once a day or less, high levels of sugar-sweetened beverage consumption were associated with greater caries prevalence and a reduced likelihood of remaining caries-free than those with lower levels of SSB consumption. Future studies will focus on interventions to reduce SSB consumption.

  article

  Use of community-based participatory research (CBPR) principles can help identify strategies for development and implementation of studies that can address oral health disparities disfavoring African American youth. This paper summarizes approaches of the Howard Meharry Adolescent Caries Study (HMACS) to provide sustained oral health services beyond the life of a research study.
