Peer Influence on Choice of Major
Did you choose your major based on peer pressure? In today’s Academic Minute, part of University of St. Thomas Week, Shinwon Noh says many students do.
The definition of “place” can be a complex question when it comes to the history of racism in the United States. In today’s Academic Minute, Kennesaw State University’s Barbara Combs explores this question. Combs is a professor of sociology and chair of the department of sociology and criminal justice at Kennesaw State. She is also author of Bodies Out of Place: Theorizing Anti-Blackness in U.S. Society (University of Georgia Press, 2022). A transcript of this podcast can be found here.
