Well, folks, it has been a bit of a rough week here at TSP with bad news abroad and at home. We’re thankful to be here doing what we do, though, and we’re glad to be able to share it with you. Here’s a look at what we were up to on the site this week.
The Editors’ Desk:
“Refugee Realities” Doug Hartmann rounds up work on refugees from across TSP.
There’s Research on That!:
“Dunce Caps and Jump Suits: Discipline and Policing in Schools.” Amber Powell and Ryan Larson look at the research on what happens when we treat students like suspects.
Discoveries:
“When Visibility of Gender Nonconformity has Negative Health Consequences” by Caty Taborda. New research from Lisa R. Miller and Eric Anthony Grollman shows what daily discrimination does to the body.
Clippings:
“Social Strength in Sport: Mizzou Football Players as Agents of Change” by Neeraj Rajasekar. Harry Edwards‘ work shows how power goes to the players.
From Our Partners:
Scholars Strategy Network:
“How the Privatization of “GED” High School Equivalency Degrees Has Created New Roadblocks for the Poor” by Janet Page-Reeves. Research shows that private education services might turn GEDs to GE-Don’ts.
Council on Contemporary Families:
“What Helps Women Entrepreneurs Flourish?” Sarah Thébaud shows us how good family policy supports entrepreneurs just as much as employees.
Contexts:
“Six Lessons of Suicide Bombers” by Robert J. Brym. A classic Contexts piece re-posted in light of last week’s tragic events in Paris.
“Not a Snowball’s Chance for Science.” Research from Dana R. Fisher, Joseph Waggle, and Lorien Jasny looks at the echo chamber on climate science.
