The government’s creation of residential security maps in the 1930s (the foundation of redlining) is considered one of the most influential institutional interventions in U.S. history, causing disinvestment in Black neighborhoods and increased racial segregation (Faber 2020a, Massey and Denton 1993). In my dissertation I investigate whether racialized place-making, i.e., racialized narratives of place, was a central component in the decision-making patterns of the gatekeepers who created the residential security maps. I integrate the recently digitized Home Owners Loan Corporation (HOLC) residential security maps with historic 1940 Census data. I then create an original dataset by combing the HOLC data with historic maps of criminal activity from the Chicago School of Sociology. Additionally, I collect primary data on HOLC’s local Chicago office from National Archives. With this data, I conduct a mixed method historic case study of Chicago using a qualitative, abductive analysis and quantitative, text and spatial analysis; in addition to a larger, quantitative study of all U.S. cities with available HOLC and 1940 Census data using text and spatial analysis. My research aims to disentangle the ways in which the symbolic character of a place is an important determinant in the decision-making patterns of local gatekeepers (Hunter 1974; Logan and Molotch 1987). Given the original confidentiality of the maps where HOLC gatekeepers explicitly stated their reasoning for a neighborhood’s lending risk, my study offers unique insight into the hidden reflections people in power were having of race, place, and value.

Brittany's dissertation examines how changes in school discipline policies over the past 40 years affect school suspension, high school dropout, and standardized test scores in the United States. She uses longitudinal data from four nationally representative cohorts of youth that map onto different decades of school punishment "regimes" and compares outcomes across cohorts.
