"Coming Up Short: Basic Needs Insecurity on the College Campus" (with Sara Goldrick-Rab and J. Richardson), in The Structure of Schooling, edited by Richard Arum, Irenee R. Beattie and Kelly Ford (SAGE Publications, Inc, 2020), Chapter 27.

Discusses exploration of Basic Needs Insecurity on the College Campus.

"Hungry and Homeless in College: Results from a National Study of Basic Needs Insecurity in Higher Education," (with Sara Goldrick-Rab and Jed Richardson), Association of Community College Trustees, March 2017.

Assesses food and housing insecurity among community college students. Bases results of a survey of more than 33,000 students at 70 community colleges in 24 states--the broadest survey of its kind--that describes the extent to which students are adversely affected by unmet basic needs while pursuing higher education

"Still Hungry and Homeless in College," (with Sara Goldrick-Rab, Schneider J. Richardson, and C. Cady), Wisconsin HOPE Lab, 2018.

Finds 36% of university students reported being food insecure in the 30 days preceding the survey compared with 42% of community college students. Shows similarly, 36% of university students reported being housing insecure in the last year compared with 51% of community college students. Homelessness was 9% versus 12%.  Contends these findings indicate unmet basic needs disproportionately affect marginalized students who often work long hours in addition to academic workloads.
