A Threads <\/em><\/a>post from Jennifer Walter<\/a> (Swiss Sociologist and Mental Health Advocate) reacting to Trump\u2019s flood of executive orders went viral across social media platforms. Walters argues that the Trump administration is using \u201cshock doctrine\u201d (\u201cusing chaos and crisis to push through radical changes while people are too disoriented to effectively resist\u201d) to cognitively overwhelm citizens. \u201cThe result? Weakened democratic oversight and reduced public engagement,\u201d Walter states.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

WTTW News<\/em><\/a> ran a feature on Tonika Lewis Johnson<\/a> (Social Justice Artist) and Maria Krysan<\/a>\u2019s (Professor of Sociology at the University of Illinois Chicago) book <\/em>Don\u2019t Go: Stories of Segregation and How to Disrupt It<\/em><\/a>. The book explores how many Chicago residents have been told to stay away from the South or West side of the city and how that message reinforces segregation in the city. Johnson stated that the book aims to show the \u201cpersonal\u201d side of segregation: \u201cIt\u2019s not just that it prevents economic investment, it hurts people\u2019s feelings and it helps people live in fear. And we want it to offer an opportunity for people to understand how to disrupt that and how to not be offensive to people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Over the past five years, Iran has faced approximately 40% annual inflation and many Iranians are struggling to make ends meet. Iranian sociologist Ardeshir Geravand warns that economic pressure may lead to social unrest in Iran. \u201cWhen legitimate paths to power and wealth remain open, members of the middle class can maintain their status. However, when these avenues are blocked, it can lead to social unrest and, ultimately, revolution,\u201d Gerevand explained. \u201cPoverty alone does not necessarily lead to violence unless it is coupled with conditions that make living a normal, ordinary life impossible.\u201d This story was covered by Iran International<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Jamie Lee Kucinskas<\/a>\u2019s (Professor of Sociology at Hamilton College) upcoming book The Loyalty Trap: Conflicting Loyalties of Civil Servants Under Increasing Autocracy<\/em><\/a> <\/em>draws from interviews with individuals who were civil servants during Trump\u2019s first term as President. \u201cI found that those caught in loyalty traps could not both fulfill the ethical duties that came with their position and uphold the new standards of loyalty sought by the president and some appointees,\u201d Kucinskas explained in a Public Ethics Talks<\/em><\/a> <\/em>interview. The book describes the moral dilemmas that civil servants faced and their strategies for managing them. This story was covered by Leiden University News.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
