This research will look at the way colleges and universities use public podcasts to engage with the public. The podcasts in review are specifically ones that are produced by a central communications or marketing office. The research will help inform general standards for college- and university-produced podcasts, to better understand their purpose and success on the school's larger communications strategies.

Throughout Latin America, public security is an increasingly important issue due to growing concerns regarding drug trafficking, organized crime, homicides, and violence. While much of the research on the topic focuses on citizens' support for hard-on-crime policing and politicians' subsequent enactment of such policies, scholars have not studied the responses of the innocent people who become unintended victims of these policies through government-sponsored violence. How do these people seek to hold the state accountable for the negative consequences of hard-on-crime policies? Which policies do they seek to advance? With which other civil society actors and policymakers do they ally and why? Most importantly, when are they successful in shaping public security policy? In this research project, I focus on the organized resistance against police brutality in Brazil's urban areas, especially in the poorer regions known as favelas.

We are classifying narratives by types of narrators (i.e., reliable vs. unreliable).

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.

This study is designed to investigate factors related to first impressions of other people.

This study aims to develop a blood test to track, locate, and diagnose aortic aneurysm disease.

The purpose of this study is to describe how meals were served through federal child nutrition programs during the COVID-19 school closures. This study involves interviews with child nutrition directors who will also have the opportunity to submit video diaries about their programs. A goal of this research is to provide information that can inform future improvements to policy and practice related to federal child nutrition programs and identify innovative approaches to running these programs that occurred during the crisis but can be sustained when normalcy resumes.

We are interested in learning challenges to offer genetic testing, like aneuploidy screening and carrier screening, at FQHCs.
