Ohio State Sociology In the News

Dr. Lauren Valentino was awarded a seed grant from OSU’s Institute of Population Research for my project, “Measuring Cultural Logics of Racism & Sexism: Refining our Understanding of How Discrimination Impacts Health & Well-Being,” for a series of studies she is conducting with graduate student Eva Warren and in collaboration with Cindy Colen.

Dr. Lauren Valentino’s article, “The Heterarchy of Occupational Status: Evidence for Diverse Logics of Prestige in the United States” was published in late December in a special issue of Sociological Forum entitled “Culture & Cognition: New Approaches and New Applications,” guest edited by Karen Cerulo and Vanina Leschziner.

Three ASC graduate students and faculty join 2022 Ethics Circle cohort
The Ohio State Center for Ethics and Human Values welcomes three members of the College of Arts and Sciences to its 2022 Ethics Circle fellowship program: Alex Christmas, graduate student of dance; Anna Church, graduate student of sociology; and Elena Foulis, clinical associate professor of Spanish and Portuguese. They will be part of a cohort of seven fellows, who also include faculty, staff and postdoctoral researchers from the College of Education and Human Ecology, the College of Engineering, the College of Medicine, and the Wexner Center for the Arts. The annual Ethics Circle program provides Ohio State students and employees with tools to enhance their understanding of ethical issues underlying their work, through a combination of one-on-one mentorship from professional ethicists and interdisciplinary conversations with their community of fellow inquirers. Fellows are also eligible for a Drake Institute endorsement in teaching ethics and human values if they complete a pedagogically oriented project.

Faculty, staff, students, and alumni: Please share your newsworthy accomplishments with us! https://osu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cBZIPE2dFqs7JLE
