Richard Ashby Wilson
University of Connecticut
Visiting Scholar
2017 to 2018
Wilson will develop a framework for identifying the types of political speech that contribute to violence. Drawing from social psychology, anthropology, and three original surveys on hate speech in the U.S. and the Balkans, he will explore the extent to which some forms of speech create greater tolerance of violent behavior. He will then construct a practical matrix which can be used in law and policymaking to evaluate the likelihood that inciting speech will result in violence.
Carol Worthman
Emory University
Visiting Scholar
2004 to 2005
Carol Worthman, Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Anthropology at Emory University, will co-author a book that uses epidemiological and ethnographic methods to detail the developmental outcomes of a group of children as they move into adolescence and adulthood in impoverished rural North Carolina. Using quantitative analysis coupled with personal vignettes, the book will aim to show how disadvantaged youth achieve their potential in the face of adversity, and how public policy can best assist young people in healthy development.
Caitlin Zaloom
New York University
Visiting Scholar
2013 to 2014
Zaloom will write a book that summarizes the key findings from a five-year research project on the intimate financial lives of American families. Her research will explore how debt, credit, and investment shape Americans’ pursuit of security, prosperity, and stability. She will also examine how families discuss the risks and trade-offs involved in using financial tools to pursue better education, housing, and retirement.
