How does the Supreme Court ok the gov't breaking its own law to end #TPS? My new @lawsocietyreview.bsky.social article shows through interviews with Reps and Dems that everyday use of "illegality" is not about actual lawbreaking, but about (perceived) upholding of social solidarity

There's a common notion that acculturation harms immigrant health, but acculturation is multidimensional (e.g., linguistic, residential, social). My new work shows it's the *mismatch* between dimensions - not acculturation itself - that explains immigrants' health decline: doi.org/10.1177/0022...

Every family and child deserves to feel safe and secure in the place they call home. Every resident of Illinois should know their rights. I intend to protect those rights and ensure our state laws are followed.

New paper! I argue we can't address public distrust in science through "virtual diversity" because scientists have trouble understanding the scope and urgency of public frustrations, and devalue non-scientists' contributions. If you can't access I will send! #STS journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Screenshot of paper abstract in the journal Social Studies of Science, entitled From the bench to public policy: Enhancing public trust in science.

There is growing concern around the world about declining trust in the scientific enterprise. Some STS scholars argue that the solution is to move to a system of ‘virtual diversity’ where scientists are responsible for translating public concerns into their work. This commentary argues that this containment approach will have the opposite effect. The history of similar efforts suggests that scientists have trouble understanding the scope and urgency of public frustrations, and devalue the contributions of non-scientists, damaging the social fabric. A better approach for producing socially useful science and enhancing public trust is to create a truly inclusive scientific enterprise, which takes the knowledge and priorities of non-scientists seriously and engages them throughout the investigative process.
