Engage in Scholarly Discourse

Overview

Join us for an online discussion exploring the negative impact of occupational licensing in health care. This conversation will delve into the ways licensing regulations limit women’s scope of practice and contribute to adverse patient outcomes.

After brief presentations, participants can share their research and discuss policy recommendations. Your insights and expertise will be invaluable as we work together to identify solutions that empower women in health care and enhance overall patient outcomes.

Overview

What shapes public attitudes toward immigration beyond the familiar economic and social arguments? With a rise in negative and harmful narratives being shared about immigration, it is important to unpack these narratives.

This program aims to explore these less visible drivers of immigration attitudes, examining how such narratives arise, spread, and influence opinions. By unpacking these factors, we aim to better understand the complex roots of public views on immigration and how they evolve in response to societal and cultural trends.

This program will begin with presentations from Tomás Jiménez, professor of sociology, and Claire Adida, professor of political science, followed by breakout sessions where participants can ask questions and network with each other.

Please come prepared to discuss your current research and share ideas for future academic research, public-facing work, or applied contributions.

This event will take place on April 24 from 4:30 to 6:00 PM Eastern Time, and will be hosted via Zoom. If you have research interests in this area, we encourage you to apply for this opportunity.

Speakers:

• Tomás Jiménez, Stanford University
• Claire Adida, University of California, San Diego

Overview

How can federalism and subsidiarity promote self-governance and pluralism while mitigating partisan animosity?

The Institute for Humane Studies, in collaboration with the Center for Governance and Markets at the University of Pittsburgh, invites faculty and practitioners to consider how a renewal of federalism and subsidiarity might strengthen self-governance, reduce partisan animosity, and sustain peaceful pluralism in the United States.

Join us to discuss cutting-edge research, network with others working on these issues, and explore opportunities for new projects and collaborations to drive policy change.

The symposium opens at 4:00 PM Eastern Time on Thursday, April 24, and concludes by 7:00 PM on Friday, April 25.
