Sonya A. Grier and Vanessa G. Perry have been selected as the recipients of the 2021 Thomas C. Kinnear Award for their article “Dog Parks and Coffee Shops: Faux Diversity and Consumption in Gentrifying Neighborhoods,” which appeared in the May 2018 issue (Vol. 37, No. 1) of JPP&M.
The authors stated,
“We are truly honored and humbled to receive the Kinnear Award and look forward to extending this contribution in future research. We hoped that this work would highlight an important overlooked context and that by exposing the types of tensions that can occur in gentrifying areas, all stakeholders—from residents to retailers—can all come together in productive ways which support a sense of community among diverse residents in gentrifying areas worldwide.”
