Students designed posters for the sociology course Crime, Justice, and Rebellion and the design course Experimental Typography. The sociology class situated crime and criminal justice reform in relation to family, peers, community, and institutions. In the design course, students looked to historical examples of protest art and were challenged to communicate issues of social, cultural, and political relevance through poster design. Students considered the promise and limitations of sociology and design through reflections. Some posters engage with ideas from assigned readings while other posters represent original student research. Student poster designs advocate for social justice and criminal justice reform.

With COVID, employees are questioning their exploitative workplace conditions, providing opportunities to rethink conventional arrangements. How might we reorganize economies so that they actually support the vast majority of people? How might we create stronger institutions to protect us against the array of existential threats we now face—which would include not just another pandemic, but also ongoing political instability, growing economic inequality, and the impending climate catastrophe? Besides introducing policies that guarantee a certain standard of living, people could explore cooperatives and other participatory organizations where members exercise a greater say in how to run their groups.

The combination of English letters that spells "cancel culture" is common and divisive. More people now say they are aware of this phrase, but its meaning, implication, and impact are still heavily debated. In this paper, I revisit cancel culture and discuss its impacts. I end this paper by urging application of cancel culture that reflect its root meaning and function, critical self-reflection, and restorative conversations if we are to make meaningful progress with cancel culture.

The Unites States healthcare system is a patchwork, and patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers must craft individual solutions to cope with gaps in the system. Sociological thinking is crucial for forming healthcare systems that provide high-quality care, control cost, and increase access without inheriting the flaws of existing systems. Recent work to develop a “social science of solutions” provides both motivation and a roadmap for progress-oriented work toward redressing social problems and building real utopias. Collaborative Learning Health Systems may be a model for real utopias in healthcare, but they must balance their potential with risks as they grow.

Our essay addresses the real-life difficulties of discussing and describing gender inequalities. We acknowledge that, at times, falling back on binary heuristics might be necessary to communicate findings, but that this needs to happen in the context of a both/and approach. We argue that quantitative social science can be inclusive, even if there are limits to what data can be analyzed in depth. We conclude that a deep engagement with the complexity of sex, gender, race, nationality, sexuality, etc. remains an urgent, ongoing need across all disciplines.

It’s been over two and a half years since we all first talked about “social” distancing. Though physical distancing was crucial as we began to battle COVID-19, the term social distancing was a misnomer. We need our connections to other people. This need for emotional connection and support is universal, but sometimes people forget that those in poverty have emotional needs in addition to financial ones. A sociologist and a photographer who have decades of experience spending time with people living in poverty and documenting their lives observe the beauty and power of emotional connections between people who are struggling.

As the rapidly expanding sex tech industry tries to evolve past its historical connection to patriarchy and misogyny, profits continue to be a key motivator. Can feminist entrepreneurs within the sex tech industry escape exploitative capitalist logics? And to what extent do capitalist logics negate the potential of the industry to lessen sexual and gender inequalities? In this article, I draw on observations of sex tech movers and shakers and interviews with sex tech users to offer a cautiously optimistic view of the future of sex.

Public sociology has typically focused on translating sociological research into op-eds, for example, or deep engagement with community organizations. In contrast, public science represents research conducted not for scientific discourse but for public benefit. Instead of beginning as an academic exercise and then seeking an interested audience elsewhere, public science begins outside the academy. From March 2020 until April 2022, I ran a COVID-19 tracking website for Missouri. This work was not just the most meaningful of my academic career but a concrete example of research not for academic consumption but for my neighbors’ benefit.
