@newsweek.com discussed a @umpsid.bsky.social study which finds older adults struggling to afford food face a higher risk of developing #dementia. @ninsolera.bsky.social says the generosity of #SNAP benefits during the #pandemic was very beneficial to American families myumi.ch/RQQ6W

“If there is one thing I could change, it would be to go back to the generosity of benefits that SNAP was able to provide during the pandemic. The federal government was able to swiftly intervene and help American families in a very successful way.”

Pleased to be quoted in this Seattle Times article on inequalities in home insurance premiums between White and Black / Hispanic households. I suggest these inequalities may contribute to racial inequalities in the wealth-building effects of homeownership. www.seattletimes.com/business/rea...

seattletimes.com

Homeowners of color pay higher insurance costs in WA, nationwide

New research finds a link between the cost of homeowners' insurance and the racial makeup of a neighborhood.

Had a blast at the @sociologicalsci.bsky.social conference at @stanfordsoc.bsky.social last week, which allowed me to both gaze at Rodins & argue that sociologists should try to run our departments as if we believe scholarship on how to have equitable organizations.
