CAS Faculty present at ASEECAS Faculty present at ASEE7/28/2023 4:00:00 AM<p>​Faculty representing UD’s College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR), College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) and College of Engineering (COE) attended the 2023 Annual Conference and Exposition of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), which took place from June 25 through June 28 in Baltimore. The ASEE Annual conference provides an opportunity for engineering educators and educational researchers to share their experiences and work over the past year.

Friedman examines mammography recomendationsFriedman examines mammography recomendations;asiaf;6/9/2023 4:00:00 AM<p>​<strong>Asia M. Friedman</strong>, associate professor and associate chair of sociology, is the author of <em>Mammography Wars: Analyzing Attention in Cultural and Medical Disputes</em>, recently published by Rutgers University Press. The book examines cultural and medical disagreements over whether to screen women under age fifty, which is rooted in deeper questions about the assumed linear and progressive development of breast cancer. Friedman uses the sociology of attention to map the cognitive structure of the “mammography wars,” offering insights into the entrenched nature of debates over mammography that often get missed when applying a medical lens.​​<br></p>Uncropped VerticalGP0|#e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b;L0|#0e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b|Publications;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c2023.00000000000https://publish.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=314

Perez published in Delaware Journal of Public HealthPerez published in Delaware Journal of Public Healthvictorp;9/23/2022 4:00:00 AM<p>​In the August issue of the <em>Delaware Journal of Public Health</em>, <strong>Victor W. Perez</strong>, associate professor of sociology and criminal justice, and William Swiatek, principal planner at WILMAPCO, highlight the potential for paradoxical impacts of green infrastructure integrated with urban redevelopment. Absent directly addressing social inequalities in parallel efforts, green infrastructure may lead to negative health outcomes of disadvantaged residents, including eventual displacement. Perez and Swiatek present the research literature and reviews on this topic. They next highlight the case of recent in-migration of higher-income whites and others in South Wilmington, Delaware, spurred on by high-end Riverfront redevelopment at Christina Landing. This migration may obscure how greening efforts — such as a new wetlands park to control area flooding — influence health outcomes in Southbridge, a low-income, African American neighborhood also within South Wilmington. The area’s census tract boundary, often used in both health and equity assessments, is shared by these distinctive communities. When viewed through the lens of inequality, greening can have multi-faceted impacts that structure health outcomes. The authors underscore the importance of the mitigation of its potentially harmful effects. ​<br></p>Uncropped VerticalGP0|#e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b;L0|#0e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b|Publications;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c2022.00000000000https://publish.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=224
Porcher and Hughes named 2022 UDARI Faculty Summer ScholarsPorcher and Hughes named 2022 UDARI Faculty Summer Scholars4/29/2022 4:00:00 AM<p><strong>Kisha Porcher</strong>, assistant professor of English, and <strong>Cresean Hughes</strong>, assistant professor of sociology and social justice, have been named by the UD Anti-Racism Initiative (UDARI) as the 2022 UDARI Faculty Summer Scholars. Porcher’s qualitative research study will address the ways centering Blackness in English education in theory (Black theorists and ways of knowing) and practice (teaching and best practices from the Black community) disrupt anti-Blackness in English education programs. Hughes’s project explores whether an underexplored measure of criminal justice punitiveness -- capital punishment -- might be associated with disparities in school discipline for Black and brown students, and asks if such a relationship exists, under what circumstances it would arise and for whom the relationship would be most salient.​</p>Uncropped VerticalGP0|#99d961eb-8936-415c-9024-28a13cec289a;L0|#099d961eb-8936-415c-9024-28a13cec289a|Awards and Honors;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c2022.00000000000https://publish.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=174
Visher to speak at webinarVisher to speak at webinar4/22/2022 4:00:00 AM<p><strong>Christy Visher</strong>, professor of sociology and director of UD’s Center for Drug and Health Studies, will speak at a webinar on Thursday, April 28, to discuss a report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine’s Committee on Law and Justice, of which she is a member. The report, “Evaluating Success Among People Released From Prison,” undertakes a critical analysis of the strengths and limitations of current measures of recidivism, correlates of positive outcomes for those who do not return to prison, and measures of reentry that go beyond the avoidance of negative outcomes to consider broader measures of success. The webinar, from 2 p.m.-4 p.m., will include an overview of the study process and a discussion of its findings and recommendations.

Presently, he leads two Street PAR projects on gun violence in the City of Wilmington funded by Christiana Care Hospital; and he leads a national Street PAR project on gun violence in the following five cities: Wilmington, DE; Baltimore, MD; Detroit, Michigan; News Orleans, Louisiana; and Brooklyn, New York City.<br><br>Dr. Payne’s first Street PAR project in Wilmington, Delaware, was The People’s Report: The Link between Structural Violence and Crime in Wilmington, Delaware. This study trained fifteen people (20-48) formerly involved with the criminal justice system to empirically document the relationship between economic well-being and gun violence in the Eastside and Southbridge neighborhoods of Wilmington.​ Learn more about the project at <a href="http://thepeoplesreport.com/" target="_blank">The People's Report</a>. ​​<br><br><img alt="" src="/ForTheRecord%20Images/PAR%201.jpeg" style="BORDER:0px solid;" />Uncropped HorizontalGP0|#99d961eb-8936-415c-9024-28a13cec289a;L0|#099d961eb-8936-415c-9024-28a13cec289a|Awards and Honors;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c2021.00000000000https://publish.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=4
