Hello! Thanks for tuning in for another week at TSP. We’ve got a special feature on the admissions debates at Harvard and Stuyvesant High School, research on being queer in rural America, and how household chores may be affecting relationship quality.
Special Feature:
“Merit and the Admissions Debates at Harvard University and Stuyvesant High School,” by Margaret M. Chin and Syed Ali. Chin and Ali discuss similarities between admissions debates at Harvard and New York City’s specialized high schools, and why our understanding of merit is central to these debates.
There’s Research on That!:
“Queer in the Country,” by Sarah Catherine Billups. To continue our coverage for #TSPride, we rounded up research on what it’s like to be queer in rural America.
“Religion, Sexuality, and Social Change,” by Evan Stewart. In light of the recent Supreme Court Decision in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, we gathered social science research on the relationship between religion and sexuality.
Clippings:
“The Drain of Doing the Dishes,” by Jean Marie DeOrnellas. NPR and The Atlantic talked to Dan Carlson about how household chores affect couples’ relationships.
