It’s the start of the new semester and TSP is back! We are excited to continue sharing new social science research and highlight the work of our partner and community pages. We are also planning exciting changes to this newsletter format (more info on that below)
Discoveries
This week board member Daniel Cueto-Villalobos wrote on new research that shows that urban food deserts might be a myth, but that food access remains challenging for poor residents as “who lives where” in cities and suburbs undergoes change
From Our Partners:
Sociological Images
Evan Stewart writes on “Selling Sociology” to undergrads with concrete examples of sociology as a guide for thinking and action on critical public issues
Contexts
Theresa Rocha Beardall and Carrie Freshour share “one thing they know” is that teaching sociology requires embracing the discomfort and controversy the discipline inspires
Council on Contemporary Families
Michelle Janning writes on how college students living arrangements during COVID-19, and whether they returned to childhood homes, influenced their perceptions of the path to adulthood
From Our Community Pages:
- Alejandro Baer at the Center for Holocaust & Genocide Studies writes on the challenge of incorporating understanding of antisemitism into antiracist scholarship
Looking ahead…
To better engage with our audience, we’re planning some changes to our newsletter format. We hope to use this space to share our vision of the field and our excitement for new developments and research in sociology. If you have comments or suggestions, drop us a line at tsp@contexts.org
