Scholars at the School of Communication and Information take an interdisciplinary approach to research that spans the fields of information science, library studies, communication, journalism and media studies.
Ognyanova is a researcher on The COVID-19 Consortium for Understanding the Public’s Policy Preferences Across States, a joint project with Northwestern, Harvard, and Northeastern Universities, that aims to help communities cope better with the impacts of the pandemic.
The Rutgers Office of Research and Economic Development (ORED), University Research Council Grant (URCG), has awarded funding to six SC&I faculty members for their timely and innovative research proposals.
Selecting Wang as the recipient of this prestigious award, The National Communication Association wrote, “Given the current political and racial tensions in our country, the selection committee found this paper timely and useful as it has heuristic value for the role that social media platforms play in the political arena among racial backgrounds.”
SC&I Ph.D. student Allyson Bontempo and her co-authors conducted research showing it’s vital for gynecologic cancer patients to feel free to talk about their negative emotions if they want to. Bontempo said, “If they can’t, or even perceive that they can’t, they are going to be bottling up all of their feelings, which isn’t healthy.
In its report, the Dean Evaluation Committee wrote, “Dean Potter is a hard-working, ethical dean who has made significant, positive contributions to the culture, intellectual vision, and effective operation of SC&I during his first five years.”
Based upon his expertise in cyberbullying prevention, Associate Professor Vivek Singh was invited to join the North Jersey Anti-Bullying Task Force, spearheaded by U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) and led by Jane Clementi. The Task Force released its findings yesterday.
Lindstadt has joined ASPEN as a postdoctoral associate, and she will assist the project in its aim to ensure New Jersey policymakers’ decisions are informed by relevant research, in order to ultimately implement universal adolescent mental health screening in New Jersey public schools.
In “Organizing Inclusion,” a new book edited by Professor Marya Doerfel and former SC&I faculty member Jennifer Gibbs, the authors “challenge all of us to rethink our own role in perpetuating racist systems and how we can change that with both individual-level and structural changes.”
“It’s all about the ABCDs of remote learning: Assistance, Broadband Connectivity, and Devices,” said Katz, who conducts research with children growing up in low-income, working class and immigrant families and how they learn about and with new technology. “Students need all of those bases covered for distance learning to work.”
A SC&I research team led by Assistant Professor Sunyoung Kim is working with the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey to develop a patient portal for leukemia patients. The system will enable clinicians to communicate treatment scenarios and outcomes to their patients in a less stressful way, and it will enable patients to investigate information about their illness autonomously.
