Young Adults' Thoughts about the World on Fire: A study of young adults with anxious or depressive symptoms, and how they think about the stressors in the world around them

Young adults show very high levels of anxiety and depression, both compared to older adults and to young adults of previous generations. This study is trying to find out why! Our idea is that the way young adults are thinking about the social, political, and ecological stressors in their lives could be different from other ages. Therefore, we are trying to find out what this group is thinking and feeling about these stressors. This might allow psychologists to better treat young adults for these symptoms in the future!

COVID-19: How it Affected Parenting and Teaching in Higher Education

Even 3 years past initial lockdown, the COVID-19 pandemic is still a relatively new phenomenon in the world of sociology that leaves a lot to be explored. My senior thesis project aims to investigate an unexplored corner in this gap, specifically parenting and higher education. I'm interested in researching teaching instructors (professors, teaching graduate students, etc.) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who had parenting responsibilities through the COVID-19 pandemic while working at the university. I want to explore how the shift to online working/teaching affected parenthood and work/life balance, as well as the return to on-campus teaching. Although it will be an in-depth exploration, I'm specifically interested in what parts of parenting became easier during the pandemic and what instructors miss about the pandemic, and what this reveals about the gaps in higher education work culture.
