Pearman, F. A. (2019). Gentrification and academic achievement: A review of recent research. Review of Educational Research, 89(1), 125-165.
This article examines literature on gentrification and underlying mechanisms of gentrification with respect to academic achievement, social ecology, institutional composition, residential stability and environmental conditions of urban neighborhoods. The author synthesizes evidence from different disciplines - including organizational theory, urban planning, segregation, sociology, and education - into a fresh and generative conversation, demonstrating both empirical sophistication and control of complex phenomena. It is both conceptually tight and conceptually inclusive. It stands as a model for review papers in simultaneously grounding analysis within foundational texts and in depicting the dynamism of a phenomenon as it continues unfolding in our world today.

The award is granted based on substantial merit, as determined by the selection committee. The committee considers all articles published in RRE and RER published in the volume year immediately preceding the year in which the award is conferred.
