Dr. Noelle Chesley presented a seminar for the National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety last month as a part of their Healthy Work and Well-Being (HWB) Program. Her talk discusses the implications of data science and artificial intelligence on workers and the overall job market.

Sociology Professor Noelle Chesley was recently quoted in an article about mothers with husbands at home versus single moms:
“When the at-home parent is the mother, there’s a clear expectation that she’ll be in charge of the family’s domestic life,” said study coauthor Noelle Chesley of University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. “That’s not necessarily the case when the at-home parent is the father.”
The Health Affairs online journal recently published the research article by Denise L. Anthony (University of Michigan), Celeste Campos-Castillo (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee), and Paulina S. Lim (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee graduate student of psychology). The December 2018 issue of Health Affairs is dedicated to Telehealth, a broad range of technologies used to connect clinicians to each other and to their patients. Distinguished authors examined the broad reach of telehealth and highlighted significant areas of unrealized potential and discussed their findings at a forum at the National Press Club in Washington, DC., on December 4, 2018.

Cary Gabriel Costello’s public sociology blog, , was selected as a Noted LGBTQ+ Studies Website that will be archived by the Library of Congress. Dr. Costello has been posting articles educating the public about intersex history, contemporary intersex experience, and advocacy for the rights of people born sex-variant via this blog for almost a decade.
Dr. Costello is committed to the ideal of sharing scholarship with the public, in ways that can help to improve not just understanding, but people’s lives. “Academic publishing is central to the duties of a professor, but I believe making knowledge accessible to ordinary people is a vital public duty. When I publish an academic journal article, this is an important documentation and sharing of research, but it’s unlikely to be read by more than a few hundred people at best. My Intersex Roadshow blog, on the other hand, has had an average of about 8000 views a month for over 9.5 years. I’ve been able to share what I know with hundreds of thousands of people via the blog–people who can put that knowledge to work to help themselves and others. It’s been my privilege, and I’m very honored that the Library of Congress will be archiving the blog to keep it accessible to posterity.”
The 51ÁÔĆć Graduate School recently recognized the recipients of the 2018 Graduate Student Fellowship. Among the attendees were two Sociology students. Below are their profiles.
Daniel J. Bartholomay, Sociology PhD ProgramMS: North Dakota State University, 2014 • BS: Minnesota State University-Moorhead, 2011
“I will miss teaching, but I am grateful for the opportunity to focus on completing my dissertation before I enter the job market next fall.”
As a sociologist, Daniel studies patterns of human behavior that perpetuate and disrupt social inequalities in gender, sexuality, family and health. His dissertation explores the attitudes and behaviors of married people in contemporary society, from the perspective that the institution of marriage has historically served to privilege men, masculinity and heterosexuality, producing structural inequalities that disadvantage women, femininity and sexual minorities.
Jesse Campa, Sociology MA ProgramBA: Beloit College, 2017 • AA: Rock Valley College, 2014
“With this fellowship, the necessity of looking for employment unrelated to my field of study is alleviated.”
As a first-generation college student from an underrepresented racial/ethnic group (self-identifying as Latino/Hispanic) Jesse became interested in the study of inequality/inequity, particularly in education. “Race/ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic class standing all intersect and play a role in the navigation of the institution of education as well as in others,” he explains, “and it is a research goal of mine to delve further into the topic that is often left out regarding the perspectives of those affected.”
