Rebecca Hanson<\/a> (Professor of Sociology at the University of Florida), David Smilde<\/a> (Professor of Sociology at Tulane University), and Ver\u00f3nica Zubillaga<\/a> (Sociologist and Co-Director of the Network for Activism and Research for Coexistence) wrote an article for the <\/em>New York Times<\/em><\/a> in response to the Trump administration’s deportations of Venezuelan men to El Salvador. Hanson, Smilde, and Zubillaga note that the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua lacks organizational power and political aspirations in the U.S.: \u201cOrganized crime is far less portable than people usually think. It typically involves control of illicit markets, which in turn depends on relationships with local people and officials. These networks are not easily transferable and limit mobility.\u201d The authors challenge these inhumane deportations: \u201cThe mass criminalization, arbitrary detainment and violation of due process that have characterized the Trump administration\u2019s actions so far have echoed some of the tactics of the Venezuelan regime many of these young men presumably fled from. It reduces U.S. credibility and emboldens authoritarians everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Oneya Fennell Okuwobi <\/a>(Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Cincinnati) wrote an article for Salon<\/em><\/a> highlighting the unintended consequences of diversity initiatives\u2013in particular, that they tend to benefit corporations, not employees. Okuwobi explains how many workplaces engage in \u201cdiversity displays,\u201d focusing on external appearances. \u201cWhile workplaces receive the bulk of benefits, employees of color receive the burdens of upholding the image of diversity, with serious costs in terms of additional work, questions about our capabilities, and the need to fit the appearance of diversity that our workplaces desire.\u201d Okuwobi writes more on this topic in her new book, Who Pays for Diversity: Why Programs Fail at Racial Equity and What to Do About It<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lucius Couloute<\/a> (Assistant Professor of Sociology at Trinity College) wrote an article for The Conversation<\/em><\/a> on how U.S. parole systems contribute to recidivism. Couloute argues that although parole was \u201coriginally designed to help those convicted of crimes reintegrate into society \u2013 through mentorship, supportive services and other resources,\u201d it now serves as a system of punitive surveillance that creates \u201chidden traps rather than pathways to success.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Time-lapse microscopy, a technology that has been widely used since the early 2010s, allows for observation of embryo developments. Many clinics share this video footage with patients on the day of their embryo transfer, before they know if the transfer was successful. The article cites research from Manuela Perrotta<\/a> (Sociologist at the Queen Mary University of London), finding that some clients experience a deep connection with the video footage. \u201c\u200b\u200bI felt like it was, it was a baby,\u201d one patient told Perrotta and a research co-author. \u201cIt sounds really weird, but it felt like I was looking at a potential baby there, and watching it move and do all the stuff, and I just looked, it looked \u2014 I know it wasn\u2019t just cells for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
