15 - Nick Camp on evaluating institutional interactions

Wednesday, March 19, 2025 • Duration 10:13

The way we interact with the institutions that govern our lives can have a profound effect — look no further than the justified scrutiny of police interactions with the public over the last decade or more.

Wednesday, February 26, 2025 • Duration 12:03

Alcohol consumption is a complicated topic, but it has some surprising twists and turns, too. Among them, the revelation from ISR researcher Kira Birditt that couples who have similar drinking habits may have stronger relationships and better marriages. But why? In her December 2024 talk at ISR, Birditt explained some of the research behind these phenomena and what it means for alcohol consumption in America.

5 - Sarah Patterson on Aging and Dementia Care

Tuesday, April 9, 2024 • Duration 09:52

The population in the United States is aging, and an aging population is statistically likely to have a larger number of people with dementia. How should we care for the aging population generally and the population with dementia specifically, especially when the burden for that care typically falls to families?

In today's episode of the Abstract, ISR's Dr. Sarah Patterson takes on those questions in a presentation originally given at ISR in September 2023.

Her full presentation on aging and dementia care is available through the ISR YouTube channel.

2 - Charlotte Cavaillé on Income Inequality

Monday, March 11, 2024 • Duration 09:19

With the gap between the rich and everyone else growing ever wider, why don't more people support policies that will result in wealth redistribution? That's the central question of Charlotte Cavaillé's book, around which she based her presentation at the Institute for Social Research in January 2024. "Fair Enough? Support for Redistribution in the Age of Inequality" explores important questions on polling, policy, and why common sense doesn't always result in the answers you'd guess.
