Ruth Braunstein<\/a> (Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Connecticut) featured a Q&A with Ernesto Casta\u00f1eda<\/a> (Professor and Director of the Center for Latin American and Latino Studies and the Immigration Lab at American University) on her Democracy is Hard <\/em><\/a>Substack site, discussing the impact of the \u201cNo Kings\u201d protests. \u201cThe \u201cNo Kings\u201d events are loosely coordinated transnational contentious performances. The question is whether they represent the seed of a social movement and whether onlookers \u2014 the American (and increasingly global) public \u2014 see them as \u201clegitimate\u201d and sympathetic,\u201d Casta\u00f1eda commented. \u201cSome critics say the marches had no clear demands; historically speaking, that is not a fatal flaw but indeed a strength.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mike Savage<\/a> (Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics and Political Science) wrote an article for The Conversation<\/em><\/a> <\/em>on changes in UK personal wealth and wealth inequality over time. \u201cThe UK, like many rich countries, has become much wealthier, and these benefits are being more widely spread,\u201d Savage explains. However, Savage argues that this increase in wealth has been largely in private hands, with limited investment in the common good. Savage argues that the idea that wealth should be treated as a private good \u201cleads to the deeply dysfunctional view that wealth assets are free to be amassed, spent and passed on by their owners with scant encroachment in the form of taxation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Atlantic<\/em><\/a> ran an article on the concept of \u201cgroupthink\u201d and how it is often used as a negatively loaded term to explain catastrophic decision making. The article cites critiques of groupthink theory<\/a> from Sally Riggs Fuller (Organizational Sociologist and former Professor at the University of South Florida) and Ramon Aldag<\/a> (Professor of Management and Human Resources at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Business). Contrary to \u201cgroupthink\u201d theories that suggest that quick consensus leads to poor decision making, their research suggested that \u201ctight-knit groups\u2014ones with that cohesive \u201cwe-feeling\u201d\u2014tend to make better <\/em>decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Washington Post<\/em><\/a> ran a story on how China is attracting scholars\u2013particularly in STEM fields\u2013in the wake of the Trump Administration’s funding cuts and immigration restrictions. The article cites research from Yu Xie<\/a> (Professor of Sociology at Princeton University) and Junming Huang<\/a> (Research Scientist at Princeton University), finding that \u201cIn the first six months of this year alone, about 50 tenure-track scholars of Chinese descent left U.S. universities for China\u201d and \u201cmore than 70 percent of these departed scholars work in STEM fields.\u201d Xie also commented that scholars relocating to China have to work in a more restrictive environment. \u201cIn China, scholars\u2019 freedom at work is also constrained, as they are subject to bureaucratic control,\u201d Xie said. \u201cThe university system in China is rigid.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

OSU News<\/em><\/a> ran a feature on Ashley Railey\u2019<\/a>s (Assistant Professor of Sociology at Oklahoma State University) work on how rural areas address substance use. \u201cAcross the U.S., evidence suggests that people who use drugs are disproportionately viewed as dangerous, to blame for their disease, and unreliable,\u201d Railey explained. \u201cCombined with limited availability of health care services that are often seen in rural areas, these views \u2014 or stigma \u2014 can prevent people from seeking out and receiving help, limit the provision of services, and create divisions within communities about who is deserving, or not, of treatment and recovery services.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
