CSI faculty affiliate Erin York Cornwell published new research: Neighborhood Disorder and Distress in Real Time: Evidence from a Smartphone-Based Study of Older Adults. Researchers equipped dozens of older New York City residents with smartphones for a week, allowing researchers to track their movements and report several times a day where they were, what they were doing and how they felt.
The Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity at Duke University will launch an inequality studies minor in 2021, as a joint effort with their Department of History. In announcing the new minor, they gave a heartfelt nod to CSI's legacy to inequality studies and our own Minor in Inequality Studies.
The Minor in Inequality Studies’ Health Equity Track, launched in Spring 2019, affords interested students the opportunity to explore the social causes and consequences of inequalities in life expectancy, health outcomes, health-promoting behaviors, and access to health care. As with the general Minor in Inequality Studies, the Health Equity Track is open to any student in any major, and offers excellent preparation for students who are interested in careers in medicine, public health, social science research, or public policy.
