Sharing a call for participants from a grad student at my alma mater:

Greetings Everyone, I'm working on a PhD at Middle Tennessee State University, and I have been approved by the IRB to share my survey. I'm doing a generational comparative study looking at how the COVID-19 pandemic affected young adults and older adults. Specifically, I’m comparing the experiences of people between 18–34 to adults 60 and older. If you, or someone you know, falls between this age bracket and is willing to participate, please access the survey link below. Your participation is anonymous, voluntary, and greatly appreciated. Your input would help us understand the long-term impacts of COVID across generations.

Reflecting on this memory from 8 years ago and thinking about how prescient this advice was and how miserably we, as a society, have failed to heed it (Source: Timothy Snyder, "On Tyranny").
Believe in truth. To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power, because there is no basis upon which to do so. If nothing is true, then all is spectacle. The biggest wallet pays for the most blinding lights.

It was an honor (and rite of passage) to speak at the University of Cincinnati (my alma mater), sociology colloquium. Seeing my old advisors and meeting the new graduate students was an indescribable treat. #bearcatsociology
