Why have our societies become so polarized? How deeply are we divided? And what is the role of social networks in bridging as well as deepening these divides? This study focuses on local communities in North Carolina to understand political change in America and beyond. In particular, we are interested in how people in their church congregation experience political and social change. This is because churches are pillars of local community life in North Carolina. We reach out to local faith leaders across the spectrum of Christian churches to get their take on how their congregation grapples with the issues of our time. This is part of a comparative study across several Western societies.

This study aims to understand how rural women experience the expansion of oil palm crops, particularly in the Colombian Llanos region. The research will delve into the work women performed in the plantations and on their own farms. The study also wants to address how women interact with their environment (their practices, what they know about nature, how they use nature) and if that has changed because of the expansion of oil palm. Finally, the research will also explore how the government is helping those women and their families to achieve their dreams. This research is important because there is very little information about rural women living in this region in Colombia. My research will contribute to know more about their stories and highlight their important contribution to the country.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if N-803, a new experimental drug that stimulates the immune system, is safe and tolerable when given alone and in combination with two new experimental drugs that are antibodies (natural proteins that the body makes in response to an infection) to HIV (the virus that causes AIDS), VRC07-523LS and 10-1074. This study will also look at how well HIV is controlled after stopping anti-HIV medications (also known as "ART") in persons who received N-803 alone or N-803 with VRC07-523LS and 10-1074.
