Jessica Calarco<\/a> (Professor of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin) was interviewed by Salon<\/em><\/a> on the difficulties that progressives face when building political coalitions. While the right\u2013unified by a rejection of governmental solutions\u2013can often agree to block new government programs, the left faces the difficult task of agreeing on what government solutions to pursue. \u201cOne thing I always tell my students is that, at least from a sociological perspective, causes imply solutions. When we are looking to solve social problems, first we have to agree that a problem exists,\u201d Calarco stated. \u201cNext they have to agree on where the problem is coming from. Those different understandings point to different possible policy solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The <\/a><\/em>New York Times<\/em><\/a> ran a story on Trump\u2019s cuts to staff and funding in the Department of Education. Philip N. Cohen<\/a> (Professor of Sociology at the University of Maryland) commented on how the data collected by the DOE is crucial for not only research on school performance, but also for research on the state of labor markets, the economy, and inequalities in America. \u201cThis is bedrock, base-line information for how our society is functioning,\u201d Cohen stated. \u201cIt\u2019s a common language \u2014 a shared reality we all have.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Boom! Lawyered<\/a> (a Rewire News Group podcast) interviewed David S. Cohen<\/a> (Professor of Law at Drexel University) and Carole Joffe<\/a> (Sociologist and Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health (ANSIRH), based at the University of California, San Francisco) about their new book After Dobbs: How the Supreme Court Ended Roe But Not Abortion<\/em><\/a>. Cohen and Joffe discussed potential risks to abortion access and the importance of supporting abortion care advocates. \u201cHow come since Dobbs, when everybody expected disaster, the number of abortions actually has risen slightly? Not a lot, but it has risen,\u201d Joffe said. \u201cOne big answer to that question is […] the phenomenal networks of people helping people get to abortions. The other answer to that question is the huge influx of money that happened right after Dobbs. The expression often used is rage spending. People were so angry about Dobbs they just gave a ton of money to local funds, to the National Abortion Federation, to Planned Parenthood, to a local clinic.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Michael Elliot<\/a> (Professor of Sociology at Towson University) wrote an article for The Conversation<\/em><\/a> on the sacred nature of Comic-Con for dedicated fans. Elliot describes how, beyond entertainment and escapism, comic-con culture provides fans with a \u201csource of principles\u201d to guide behavior, community and fellowship, and sanctuary (Comic-con \u201cprovides space for fans to be themselves, helps them cope with personal struggles, and inspires hope.\u201d).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
