7 | 4/2/2020 | Work/Life Study of Academic Faculty During Coronavirus-19 | Dr. Kristen Barber, Associate Professor at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, is seeking research participants for a study on how university and college faculty are dividing their time between academic work, household labor, parenting and other caregiving, and self-care during the 2020 Coronavirus-19 era quarantine/distancing measures, as well as how they are experiencing and navigating decisions and tensions around these things. She is seeking both tenure-track and non-tenure track university and college faculty who are quarantined or distancing and thus navigating work, family, household, and self-care tensions under novel conditions. She would like to include a variety of participants, including those living alone, with partners, or with children. Participants will complete a one-time questionnaire and document their experiences in a typed, weekly journal. Participants will also record the amount of time they dedicate to daily tasks, such as teaching, research and writing, housekeeping, parenting and other caregiving, homeschooling, self-care, etc. The journal entries will allow participants to expand on their experiences and how they are making decisions and dealing with these things while under quarantine or distancing. The questionnaire takes between 20-30 minutes, the journal requires about 30 minutes each week, and the daily activity log takes no more than 5-minutes per day. (This project has been reviewed and approved by the SIUC Human Subjects Committee.) | If you are interested in participating or have questions, please email Kristen Barber at barber@siu.edu | |||||||||||||||||||||||

27 | 4/10/2020 | Love in the Time of COVID: Telepresent Community and Emergent Intimacies to Social Distancing | www.jasonorne.com; https://sociology.columbia.edu/content/tey-meadow | This research project, Intimacy in the Time of COVID: Social, Sexual, and Kinship Intimacies Amidst a Pandemic of Isolation and Distance, focuses on how communities primarily based around sexual identity, connection, and activity have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic to better understand barriers to realization of the CDC’s social distancing recommendations. The COVID-19 pandemic requires social isolation, quarantine, distancing, and dismantling of public social life. These disruptions effect all segments of American society, but can be most visibly seen in the extreme case of sexual communities, who have communities and identities centered around activities that are in direct contradiction of public health recommendations. Using fieldwork to capture the emergence of potentially ephemeral sites of community organizing using telepresence technologies, —supplemented with content analysis and in-depth interviews with organizers, participants, and non participants—this project will increase our understanding of 1) how to implement COVID-19’s public health recommendations, 2) the motivations for pleasure and intimacy despite signifiant risk and stigma and 3) transformations to sexuality and communities in response to public health strategies that threaten their source of shared connection. | For more information: contact co-PIs Jason Orne <jason.orne@drexel.edu> and Tey Meadow <tey.meadow@columbia.edu> | ||||||||||||||||||||||
28 | 4/10/2020 | Coping with Coronavirus Pandemic Study | https://unlv.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0I17he1kGO4VC2p | This is a research project headed by Dr. Nirmala Lekhak at School of Nursing, University of Nevada Las Vegas in collaboration with Dr. Tirth Bhatta (UNLV, Department of Sociology) and Dr. Tim Goler (Norfolk State University, Department of Sociology). We aim to understand how adults 50 years and older are affected by and coping with coronavirus, also known as COVID-19 pandemic. Older Adults, and those with pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, and heart disease) appear to be more vulnerable to becoming severely ill with the virus. To understand stress and coping strategies older adults utilize during the coronavirus pandemic is vital in an effort to introduce healthier coping skills and ultimately help to save lives.

29 | 14/04/2020 | Corona Diaries | https://en-soc.prodwebb.lu.se/research/research-projects/corona-diaries-0 | The feeling of social isolation — loneliness — has become an issue of public concern. Other disciplines have mostly ignored the social practices and social contexts of loneliness, and sociology has neglected the study of this subject since the 1970’s. As a result, we do not know how people use the social infrastructure around them when dealing feelings of social isolation in everyday life. The current events surrounding COVID-19 and measures to mitigate it, for example, social distancing/quarantine, can result in the sudden salience of ‘social places’ and social infrastructure more widely because the breaches in everyday routines may reveal to individuals the importance of those routines. It is thus a critical time to gather personal accounts of COVID-19 related experience in order to understand, among other things, the subjective impacts of sudden mass social isolation and how it is experienced. Qualitative accounts are gathered online across as diverse a sample as possible in order to record a wide variety of experiences of COVID-19 related events, to enable future comparative work on, in addition to perceived social isolation: inequalities of social isolation, political and economic impacts, ideological and cognitive dissonance effects, normlessness and normative (re-)construction, ontological insecurity, and social conflict. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

From a digital standpoint, the project will have four components: - a visually compelling homepage (under development, with support from ITS), - a weekly survey (in Qualtrics; distributed by choice of email or text message; English and Spanish versions) for inputting journal entries and closed-ended survey responses (~40 Qs at baseline; ~10 Q/week thereafter), - a public-facing interface (where participants can download their own narrative contributions and members of the public can access contributions designated by participants as visible to the public), and - a password-protected research archive that contains all Qualtrics input (which CT Digital Archive will construct and house). | Sarah Willen (sarah.willen@uconn.edu), Abigail Fisher Williamson (Abigail.Williamson@trincoll.edu), Kate Mason (katherine_mason@brown.edu) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
34 | 4/15/2020 | The Effects of a Planner-aided Positive Psychology Intervention on College Students’ Wellbeing and Self-efficacy During Covid-19 | The quasi-experiment examines the effects of a positive psychology intervention on college students’ wellbeing and self-efficacy during the Covid-19 pandemic. The experimental group consists of 20 undergraduate students and the control group of 25, all enrolled in a Michigan public university. Participants took the pre-test at the beginning of February 2020 when the novel coronavirus emerged as a widely recognized global pandemic. They took the post-test in early April during the state’s “Stay Home, Stay Safe” order and after the conversion to distance learning. The instruments measured the participants’ well-being, self-efficacy, and planning and contemplative practices. The post-test contained six additional open-ended questions on the impacts of the Covid-19 and coping strategies to them, yielding rich qualitative data on the participants’ experiences and interpretations. Initial ANOVA data analysis indicates that the experimental group experienced less decrease in wellbeing and self-efficacy and had higher scores in both areas, compared to the control group during this period. | Dr. Yan Ciupak yciupak@nmu.edu | |||||||||||||||||||||||

43 | 4/22/2020 | Observations of Everyday Life UnderCovid | profprager@aol.com to join google group | As a result of Covid19 we are undergoing rapid and dramatic social change. As sociologists, we have an obligation to study how society responds to an event of this magnitude. We are accustomed to asking questions and observing the world around us. We are always both participants and observers, now even more so as everyday life is changing moment by moment. I am proposing that we start a conversation on Covid19 by sharing observations of what is happening around us- how people are behaving; if you are not going out- this is another part of the same conversation. It is my hope that this conversation could include thoughts on how we might study this on a more formal basis. I see this as initially exploratory. We need to begin by identifying emerge patterns and assume that that as we proceed themes will become apparent. We may also get a better idea as to how we can proceed methodologically. I think that we have to start observing and see where it goes. I propose that we start by making notes about what we see – possibly asking family and friends to do the same. We need to bear in mind Covid itself is in the early stages, that it will peak and then ebb; as this occurs social interactions and social structures will also change and we need to identify them. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

This study is particularly interested in the role that communication technology has played in Mexico City's LGBT+ residents' ability to inform themselves about the pandemic's development and about local and national government action to COVID-19 as well as the role that communication technology and virtual space has played in accommodating LBGT+ people's social connectivity and health needs that might normally be addressed in physical space. This survey will analyze spatial behavior before and after the start of the pandemic, health-related behavior before and after the start of the pandemic, participation in LGBT+ organizations before and after the start of the pandemic, and different health and connectivity strategies LGBT+ people are taking specifically to adapt to the pandemic. Note: this survey study is a part of a larger dissertation project investigating the relationship between urban change and LGBT+ placemaking in Mexico City, which has expanded to include virtual observation of digital spaces in light of technological adaptations to COVID-19. | For more information, please contact co-PIs: Christina Chica <cchica24@ucla.edu> and Ariceli Alfaro <a.ariceli@gmail.com> | ||||||||||||||||||||||

It will look for themes of resilience in the narratives, defined by Patrice Buzzanell (2010) as " the ability to “bounce back” or reintegrate after difficult life experiences". The samples will be analyzed for components of hybrid masculinity, specifically, elements of discursive distancing, strategic borrowing, and fortifying boundaries will be assessed in the narratives. With this research, I want to come to a better understanding of how restrictive circumstances affect how men "do" masculinity, and if there is a relationship between expressions of gendered resilience and hegemonic masculinity. | Steven Dashiell steven.dashiell@umbc.edu | |||||||||||||||||||||||

The spread of COVID-19 has led to drastic changes in daily routines, widespread public fear and alarm, and "shelter-in-place" orders that have severely curtailed individuals' freedom and autonomy. To investigate how young Americans and their families are experiencing these massive changes in our social landscape, we are conducting semi-structured, in-depth interviews with college students and their family members. Over three waves, we ask participants about their experiences and perceptions of risk, exposure, and confinement. This study merges medical sociology and criminology.

Behind the scenes, sociologists can try to measure the social effects of the epidemic, as well as the effects of political measures that have been deployed in response. This is particularly the case when we have a virus whose spread must be countered using social rather than medical mechanisms: distancing ourselves from others and avoiding all forms of sociability! Is this causing or will this cause more inward-looking attitudes, loneliness, social fragmentation, and therefore become a possible threat to social cohesion in the future? Furthermore, will this epidemiological and political solution of a lockdown (and other measures to come) have an equal and fair impact on all members of society? As sociologists, social cohesion and inequalities are the lenses through which we carry out our research. How have you structured the research process? What distinctive features does it have? The project “Coping with Covid-19 (CoCo)” brings together a Sciences Po research centre and a service unit of the CNRS, in a mutually complementary process. The OSC brings its expertise in the analysis of inequality and social change; the CDSP contributes with its capacity for rigorous survey methods and the ELIPSS panel. In fact, the panel is the cornerstone of the project. It provides information on a representative sample of the French population from before the Covid crisis, and therefore allows us to track changes in behaviours and attitudes that have been caused by the pandemic and the lockdown. This is a crucial distinction from other sociological studies of Covid-19, which are tending to view the situation like a snapshot, without recording in “real time” the changes in social practices that may take place over time. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
53 | 5/9/2020 | Rowan COVID-19 Survey | Anonymous Qualtrics survey for Rowan students, faculty and staff to: identify significant differences between diverse subpopulations in the Rowan community in terms of strengths and weaknesses in dealing with the coronavirus pandemic situation; understand the variety of personal experiences during this outbreak; study the efficacy of various coping processes for the various sectors of the Rowan population: identify sources of resilience in the face of major changes; document satisfaction with and concerns about the Rowan response to the pandemic; document current plans for the future as they impact higher education in general and Rowan in particular; identify major sources of concern and needs that have not been met. Results for first-gen college students will be used for CONVERGE team study led by Cassandra Davis. Survey participants may opt to be interviewed about their COVID-19 experience by linking to separate "contact" survey. Same contact survey enables them to leave contact information to be entered into a raffle for 10 $30 Amazon gift cards. | For more information please contact Harriet Hartman, hartman@rowan.edu, 856-256-4500 x53787 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
54 | 5/9/2020 | Sociological Spectrum Special Issue on Health Inequities and COVID-19 Call for Papers | https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/sociologicalspectrum?utm_source=CPB&utm_medium=cms&utm_campaign=JPD14409 | Sociological Spectrum Special Issue Call for Papers COVID-19 and Health Inequalities: Lessons for Pandemic Disasters Yet to Come Special Issue Editor(s) DeMond S. Miller, Rowan University millerd@rowan.edu Roland J. Thorpe, Jr., Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health rthorpe@jhu.edu Since the publication of the Philadelphia Negro, persistent health and place-based disparities have been thoroughly documented in the United States. Those of lower social positions, defined by income, wealth, education, occupation; living in impoverished or medically underserved areas; or who belong to racial/ethnic groups have poorer health behaviors and health outcomes. Such disparities have the potential to become magnified when faced with a pandemic such as the current COVID-19 outbreak. Pandemics disasters, like the coronavirus (COVID-19), underscore the profound effects of the health disparities among our most vulnerable due to persistent social inequalities. The legacy of disasters and their impact on socially vulnerable populations is well documented; however, the emergency of the novel COVID-19 global pandemic poses a unique set of challenges as long-standing health disparities play out before our eyes when unsustainable healthcare infrastructures and a global pandemic collide. This Special Issue--COVID-19 and Health Inequalities: Lessons for Pandemic Disasters Yet to Come--seeks to present a collection of papers that advance our understanding of pandemic disasters and illuminate the structural forces that prevent us from rebuilding communities in ways that make communities safer, healthier, and better prepared for the next natural or human-induced disaster. We invite investigators to contribute original research (empirical and theoretical) that will further broader our understanding of the cultural, economic, political, and social factors that contribute to, or may decrease, health inequalities during pandemic disasters such as COVID-19. Papers that include qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method are welcome, as are papers that discuss the design, implementation, and evaluation of policies. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: • Papers that emphasize an intersectional approach (e.g., race, gender, and social class) in advancing our understanding of COVID-19 and health inequalities. • Papers that highlight how COVID-19 and future pandemic disasters have implications for the individual-(e.g., discrimination), place-(e.g., urbanicity), and community-oriented-(e.g., segregation) factors and their contribution to health inequities. • Papers that highlight community factors that affect health in preplanning for disasters so that communities are better able to realize healthier, more socially vibrant, and resilient communities. • Papers that emphasize how data modeling can be used to help understand and plan for disaster responses to ensure an equitable distribution of resources for future pandemic disasters. • Papers that employ COVID-19 data to mitigate risk in specific countries, cities, neighborhoods, or make comparisons among specific vulnerable groups globally. • Papers that illustrate how social determinants of health and social networks facilitate or reduce transmission of the COVID-19. To submit a paper on or before OCTOBER 31, 2020, see the journal’s official website at: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/sociologicalspectrum?utm_source=CPB&utm_medium=cms&utm_campaign=JPD14409 Instructions for Authors: https://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?show=instructions&journalCode=usls20 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

58 | 06/02/2020 | Daily Scientific Citation Tracker | https://github.com/lanbufan/Daily-Scientific-Citation-Tracker | An open-source bibliometrics project tracking the daily citation counts of Covid-19 research. Covid-19 research represents one of the most intense scientific efforts in the modern history of science. In sheer volume of production in just under five months, it is the most concentrated production of scientific knowledge on a single topic in human history. Bibliometric services like Pubmed index hundreds of new Covid-19 articles daily. We need new tools to track the citation behavior of the covid ecosystem. All modern bibliometric record yearly citation count for scientific papers -- how many times a paper is cited yearly since the year of publication. Giving the rapid pace of Covid-19 research, what we need is a tighter level of temporal granularity. That is, we need more than the number of yearly citations, we need the number of daily citations -- how many times a paper is cited daily since the date of publication. The Daily Scientific Citation Tracker is the first bibliometric tool to record how many times an article is cited every day since the date of publication. The current beta version indicates the daily citation count at the publication-level. The current development underway will add two levels of aggregation: journal and themes. | Francois Lachapelle, PhD Candidate, f.lachapelle@alumni.ubc.ca | ||||||||||||||||||||||

The interviews are being conducted remotely with farmers across the state of Maryland, and with representatives of organizations that work to support farmers currently experiencing both their ongoing responses to the sudden-onset disaster of the pandemic and quarantine and to the slower-onset disaster of climate change and its related environmental hazards. This analysis is intended to inform discussion and future disaster and climate action carried out by farmers, women small- and medium-size business owners, as well as governmental, private sector, and non-profit stakeholders. | Jane Henrici, PhD jmhenrici@gmail.com/Karine Lepillez, Director, Inclusive Societies and Gender Advisor | ||||||||||||||||||||||
62 | Feeding Families in COVID-19-Quarantined Wuhan: Intersectional Adaptations to a Disaster | N/A | Original mixed-methods research, conducted online with persons quarantined during the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, seeks insights into the adaptation strategies of a gendered and otherwise segmented economy within a mega-city population facing the compounded challenges of a pandemic and blockade on top of preexisting environmental conditions. This project asks: How did people across communities and neighborhoods, differentiated by gender and generation as well as occupation and length of city residency, adjust and get by during a public health disaster combined with a government-imposed blockade? How did socio-economic activities persist in a given region when each household was insulated from the other? How did people feed their families? How did the established neighborhood association groups in Wuhan navigated feeding their neighborhood's households, and what are some of the gendered and other issues that have arisen linked to all of that? In general, how did the people of Wuhan adapt? The analysis for this project will inform economic, health, and social disaster response and climate action.

63 | Gender, Migration, and Disaster: Recent Migrants in the Washington, DC Metro Area | N/A | Latinx who migrated to the Washington, DC area from Central America and the Caribbean during the early 2000s primarily sought educational and workforce opportunities; a decade later, ongoing conflicts combined with the worsening climate crisis and related disasters have been compounded severely by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic and related policies have driven migration to the DC-Maryland-Virginia region; trapped migrant worker in unsafe jobs; kept migrant victims of violence in unsafe living conditions; and prohibit migrants' movements in and out of Central America and the Caribbean. This study, based on remote interviews with representatives of organizations that work to assist and advocate for Latinx immigrants to the Washington, DC region, investigates gender, race, and disability among other intersectional issues faced by Latinx migrants affected by the pandemic. The migrants now seek to adapt to a region that itself is changing. How might migrants of diverse social identities from Central America and the Caribbean are coping in response to worsening conditions, and how migrants view their efforts to cope and adapt, are questions this study seeks to answer. | Jane Henrici, PhD jmhenrici@gmail.com/Olivia García, PhD Affiliate Faculty, Chicano Studies and Criminal Justice Departments, The University of Texas at El Paso | |||||||||||||||||||||||
