Adam Berinsky
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Visiting Researcher
Adam Berinsky will work on a project examining interventions to stop or slow the spread of political misinformation. Berinsky will test the efficacy of existing approaches to combatting the spread of misinformation, such as having unlikely sources correct falsehoods. He will also examine and develop new interactive and scalable interventions to slow the spread of misinformation by leveraging advances in the field of Artificial Intelligence.
Edwin Amenta
University of California, Irvine
Visiting Researcher
Edwin Amenta will work on projects examining the impact of news coverage on social movements and public opinion. He will investigate which movements and movement organizations have been covered by the news the most, when they made the news, and how coverage has changed over the last century. He will also explore how movements are covered by the news and the factors that influence whether social movement organizations receive positive or negative news coverage, including the organization’s demands and the overall political environment.
Jennifer Eberhardt
Stanford University
Visiting Researcher
Jennifer Eberhardt will write articles drawing on police body-worn camera footage to examine police interactions with the public during traffic stops. Using large language models and related processing tools, Eberhardt will compare how language used by police varies during traffic stops in areas with and without a history of redlining.
Ingrid Ellen
New York University
Visiting Researcher
Ingrid Ellen will work on a book examining neighborhood policies in the United States. She will focus on how neighborhood policies have weighed the preferences of incumbent residents against the interests of potential future residents and broader societal goals—tensions that can often be seen across the country in NIMBY (not in my backyard) versus YIMBY (yes in my backyard) debates. Ellen will evaluate neighborhood policy initiatives from the 1910s through the 21st century.
Colleen Heflin
Syracuse University
Visiting Researcher
Colleen Heflin will work on a project examining how administrative burdens influence participation in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). Helfin will examine whether the physical presence requirements for WIC enrollment support, rather than burden, program participants. She will draw on data on program uptake during the COVID-19 pandemic, during which the federal government allowed localities to waive physical presence requirements in order to minimize the risk of COVID-19 spread.
Judith Levine
Temple University
Visiting Researcher
Judith Levine will work on a book examining how college seniors transition to employment. Drawing on 280 interviews with over one hundred college seniors at an urban university in the Northeast, Levine will compare the experiences of first-generation and continuing-generation college students. She will also examine how the transition to employment varies for first-generation college students by race, ethnicity, and gender.
Francesca Polletta
University of California, Irvine
Visiting Researcher
Francesca Polletta will work on three projects investigating the cultural impacts of social movements. The first project will investigate how news coverage of the feminist movement impacted women’s beliefs about gender. The second project will examine how popular women’s magazines discussed the women’s liberation movement and how treatment of the movement affected American’s attitudes on gender.
