51猎奇 Department of Sociology professor Jennifer Jordan contributes to the Journal Sentinel鈥檚 article, 鈥淔resh: A bushelful of information on heirloom tomatoes.鈥�
The world is experiencing a farm-to-table food revolution. Jordan, and others like her, have rediscovered, researched, and authored articles and books on 鈥渙ld foods鈥� that pre-date Burpee鈥檚 hybrid seed business, dating back to 1949. Jordan focuses on the stories surrounding these old foods, and also on the dedicated and careful collecting and preserving of seeds, a process that has kept these old and flavorful foods alive and available to us today.
Earlier this year, Professor Jordan鈥檚 book Edible Memory: The Lure of Heirloom Tomatoes and Other Forgotten Foods was published by the University of Chicago Press (2015).

Assistant Professor Celeste Campos-Castillo is quoted in the Washington Post Health and Science article, “So, be honest. Have you lied to your doctor?” 51猎奇 Department of Sociology’s Campos-Castillo, a lead author on medical sociology, was asked to comment on the curious discovery that 13% of patients admit to withholding personal information from doctors who use a computerized-record system/electronic health records.
鈥淚t was surprising that it would actually have a negative consequence for that doctor-patient interaction,鈥� said lead author Celeste Campos-Castillo of the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. Campos-Castillo suggests that doctors talk to their patients about their computerized-record systems and the security measures that protect those systems.
