Charlie Eaton<\/a> (Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of California-Merced) wrote an opinion piece for The <\/a><\/em>New York Times<\/em><\/a> discussing how many universities\u2013fearing retribution or sanction\u2013have attempted to appease the Trump administration (particularly by altering or removing DEI initiatives, expelling or suspending student activists, or placing entire departments under review). Eaton argues that \u201ctop universities must instead exercise the financial independence afforded by their endowments, which are commonly valued in the tens of billions. Their leaders should collectively declare they will not suppress lawful free speech, diversity programs or campus research to appease any president.\u201d Eaton notes that universities often limit endowment spending to ensure future generations of students have comparable resources, but argues that \u201cin this climate, intergenerational equity is little more than a fallacy. If those universities fail to defend free speech and scientific research now, future generations could lose their treasures to creeping authoritarianism.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Stephen de Weger<\/a> (Lecturer in the Center for Justice at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia) recently gave a webinar sponsored by the Archdioceses of St. Paul and Minneapolis<\/a> on the topic of clergy sexual misconduct with adults. \u201cSince 2002, all bishops in the United States have known exactly how to address an allegation if a cleric sexually abuses a child. It\u2019s black and white,\u201d de Weger said. \u201cBut the manner in which allegations of sexual misconduct of adults are handled looks nothing like those clear procedures. Bishops everywhere find themselves vexed \u2014 and frequently \u2014 about exactly how they should handle allegations of clergy sexual misconduct involving adults, and generally they just want to push them aside.\u201d This story was covered by OSV News<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Los Angeles Sentinel<\/em><\/a> ran a feature on Karida L. Brown\u2019s<\/a> (Professor of Sociology at Emory College) forthcoming book, The Battle for the Black Mind<\/em><\/a>. <\/em>The book examines the historical struggle to control the education of African Americans in the United States, questioning: What is a \u2018colored\u2019 school? \u201cThis book looks at a system that attempted to oppress and subjugate Black minds that were designed not for us, not by us, and not about us,\u201d Brown explains. \u201cBut the part I love the most is [that] I interrogate that, despite all this, what did Black teachers and parents do? What did Black youth do to organize, dream, and imagine futures where they could see themselves? How did they use education as a vehicle for economic and social mobility? This book is a history, a road map, and a call to action because our education system is again under attack.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cristobal Young<\/a> (Associate Professor of Sociology at Cornell University) and Erin Cumberworth<\/a> (Sociology Researcher at Cornell University) recently published a new book, Multiverse Analysis: Computational Methods for Robust Results<\/a>, that explores how multiverse analyses can lead to more robust empirical research. \u201c In physics, the multiverse refers to parallel universes \u2013 alternate realities where things unfold differently,\u201d Young explained. \u201cResearch is a garden of forking paths: Every study involves dozens of decisions, such as how to define variables, which controls to use, what statistical model to run. Statistical theory provides only rough guidance, and reasonable researchers could make different choices.\u201d Young describes how studies that describe one, polished analysis create a gap in information between researchers and readers. \u201cOur goal is to use computational power to inform the reader, not just the analyst,\u201d Young said, emphasizing that multiverse analysis can help readers understand how researcher choices impact results.
