Peter Marina, Sociology & Criminal Justice, authored the article "The (privileged) people who say all cops are “racist” are really the racist part of society" in Law Enforcement Today published on July 30 by Law Enforcement Today. In his attempt to reach out to people on all sides of the political spectrum to advance human rights policing in the U.S., Marina gives his take on policing and projection to a largely conservative audience. Instead of blaming police for racism, maybe privileged people need to examine the ugly shadows they cast onto the faces of others.
Steni Sackiriyas, Health Professions, authored the article "Considerations in the Advancement of Physical Therapy Services in the Management of Osteoarthritis" in "Indian Journal of Physical Therapy and Research," published Saturday, July 30 by Medknow - Wolters Kluwer Health.
Brian Kumm-Schaley, Recreation Management & Therapeutic Recreation, authored the chapter "Just Give it Up: Embracing the Immanence of Post Qualitative Inquiry " in "Fostering Social Justice through Qualitative Inquiry: A Methodological Guide," published June 30 by Routledge Publishing. The chapter provides an overview of contemporary thinking around the critique and coming-after of qualitative inquiry. It challenges us to think about justice differently in relation to research that looks toward an immanence of daily life rather than to a transcendent form of life that purports a model of justice that we must arise to. While the chapter offers this overview, it also attempts to guide novice researchers through a critical process of questioning assumptions and intentionally challenging the status quo of social science inquiry.
