The purpose of this study is to qualitatively examine how social movements and actors within social movement organizations interact with the press and media as they work to achieve their goals. This study seeks to further examine the relationship between left-leaning social movements in the U.S. South as alternative media outlets and newspapers decline and tension between social movements and actors like the state and elected officials intensify.

To explore expression of tolerance for ambiguity and need for definitive conclusion among medical students and to compare these scores across time in medical school.
We want to test adults with sickle cell disease, using both the conventional in-person Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) and, within 2-4 months, the abbreviated 'MOCA-blind', which can be given remotely. In this way we can begin to evaluate whether these tests are sensitive to similar degrees of impairment when given remotely compared with in-person in people with sickle cell disease (SCD).
We are conducting a survey to further understand the physical symptoms and healthcare experiences related to non-hormonal practices of gender affirmation for transgender, nonbinary, and gender diverse adults. These include binding, tucking, packing, padding, and other practices. There is community knowledge that many of these practices can lead to physical symptoms and consequences, but there are few studies that demonstrate this. We are interested in exploring what the burden of symptoms are in our community, and what the community member response is.

I am interested in understanding how George Floyd Square came to be. I am also interested in learning how the South Minneapolis community organizes to resist police violence. This project contributes to decolonization scholarship by theorizing, through the example of South Minneapolis, forced migration and containment as colonial policies that are enforced through policing and that produce literal and social death for racialized Others.
