Zeynep Tufekci<\/a> (Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs at Princeton) wrote an opinion piece for the New York Times<\/em><\/a> on the Trump administration\u2019s slashing of research funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Tufecki highlights that NIH \u201cgrants are a crucial reason that America has the most advanced biomedical research infrastructure\u201d and that this decision endangers Americans\u2019 health. \u201cIt was nice having the world\u2019s most important, most vital medical research infrastructure,\u201d Tufecki writes. \u201cBut enough. To the wood chipper!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Elizabeth Bruch<\/a> (Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Michigan) and Amie Gordon<\/a> (Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan) have teamed up to design Revel<\/a>, a dating app for students at the University of Michigan that doubles as a research tool. While modern dating apps collect a “treasure trove\u201d of relevant data, this data is often inaccessible for researchers or users. Using Revel, Bruch and Gordon aim to examine how people \u201cfind opportunities, pick strategies, and learn from mistakes\u201d and why couples choose to stay together or break up. This story was covered by The Pulse<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Hong Kong Free Press<\/em><\/a> ran a story on Ruby Lai\u2019s<\/a> (Assistant Professor of Sociology at Lingnan University) research on Hong Kong\u2019s subdivided flats\u2013living units of approximately 119 sqft. that house over 200,000 people in Hong Kong. \u201cThere is an assumption that only the poor live in subdivided flats, but housing precarity and unaffordable housing are problems faced by most people,\u201d Lai said, emphasizing the diversity of residents. Lai also examines how individuals and families transform these constrained spaces into \u201cresilient, functional and liveable abodes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The<\/a> <\/em>New York Times<\/em><\/a> ran a story on how companies are navigating legal risks in response to the Trump administration\u2019s attacks on D.E.I. efforts. Companies simultaneously want to avoid discrimination lawsuits, \u201cTrump\u2019s ire, federal investigations and lawsuits from anti-D.E.I. conservatives.\u201d Musa Al-Gharbi<\/a>\u2019s (Assistant Professor in the School of Communication and Journalism at Stony Brook University) commented: \u201cD.E.I. programming grew popular because it was responding to real challenges organizations were facing. Basically they\u2019re being told to do nothing about these problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
