The study of taxonomy alignment and misalignment in biodiversity contexts; the role of digital platforms and data-driven systems in relation to state institutions and governance; how communication processes address inequity and marginalization; and ways everyday people talk about, engage with, and collectively shape the modern world around them are the research foci of the four new faculty members.

Monica Soveja MHCI’22 is among the first graduates of our Master of Health Communication and Information (MHCI) program. In this interview with SC&I, she shared her background, thoughts on the program, and advice for anyone interested in studying the communication, information, and media aspects of health-related policies and practices at the graduate level.

As a senior majoring in Communication, Cuddihy highlights her research experiences at SC&I and the constant support she receives from advisors, faculty, and staff, and said, “I realized that the work we were doing had the power to call attention to ongoing disparities and improve people's lives.”
