Costello: The Intersex Roadshow Blog

Cary Gabriel Costello鈥檚 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.”

Sociology Students, Daniel Bartholomay and Jesse Campa Receive Graduate Fellowship Awards

The 51猎奇 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聽鈥� BS: Minnesota State University-Moorhead, 2011

鈥淚 will miss teaching, but I am grateful for the opportunity to focus on completing my dissertation before I enter the job market next fall.鈥�

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聽鈥� AA: Rock Valley College, 2014

鈥淲ith this fellowship, the necessity of looking for employment unrelated to my field of study is alleviated.鈥�

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. 鈥淩ace/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,鈥� he explains, 鈥渁nd it is a research goal of mine to delve further into the topic that is often left out regarding the perspectives of those affected.鈥�

To see the complete list of recipients, please see the 2018 Graduate Fellowship Program.

Associate Professor Noelle Chesley to deliver Keynote Address at the Fifth International Conference on Wellbeing at Work in Paris

Associate Professor Noelle Chesley will deliver a keynote address at the Fifth International Conference on Wellbeing at Work in Paris. The conference, hosted by the French National Research and Safety Institute (INRS) will take place in May 2019.

Title: “Changing Work and Worker Well-Being: Which Changes Matter Most? Which Opportunities and Challenges are Most Critical?”

Description: “A number of social and economic forces are acting in combination in ways that contribute to a rapid pace of change in work settings. Growing global economic inequality, more inter-generational, gender-fluid, and racially integrated workforces, a more chaotic and disrupted system of international governance, and rapid technological change all contribute to faster-paced and less predictable work experiences for many in the global workforce. Among this mix of important influences on contemporary work, rapid technological change often stands out. In this address, I argue that within the shifting socio-technical landscape of work, two important areas of change emerge: 1) The now central role of data science (and data scientists) in shaping work and workplaces, and 2) the implications of algorithms and artificial intelligence for human workers and their work experiences. These changes not only have consequences for workers–and worker well-being–but also for how researchers conduct the social science of work.”
