On Friday October 28 (3-4:30pm Pacific Time), the UW International Security Colloquium will host Dr. Yang-Yang Zhou’s presentation “Prolonged Contact Does Not Reshape Locals’ Attitudes toward Migrants in Wartime Settings: Experimental Evidence from Afghanistan.” Dr. Zhou’s work is both methodologically and substantively rich, and it should make for a fascinating presentation and discussion.
See poster here!
Dr. Zhou is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of British Columbia and is a Harvard Academy Scholar and CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholar for 2021-2023. Her research examines the effects of migrants on host communities, and her work has been published in American Political Science Review, Comparative Political Studies, the Journal of Experimental Political Science, the Journal of the American Statistical Association, and PS: Political Science and Politics, among others. Her book project, Rejecting Coethnicity: the Politics of Migrant Exclusion by Minoritized Citizens, is funded by the National Science Foundation, the CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholars Program, and the SSHRC Insight Development Grant. Additionally, her book project with Margaret Peters, Dignity and the Decision to Migrate, Where to Move, and When to Return, has been funded by the National Science Foundation.

As part of the Homelessness Research Initiative Urban@UW and CSDE will be partnering to host an in-person gathering on November 29th, 2022 from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
The event will be held at the Hans Rosling Center for Population Health (room 101), on the Seattle campus. You may RSVP here and we ask you to provide a brief description of your relevant research related to homelessness. This form will be used as a resource for all those who are interested in being part of this group. If you have interest in being part of this group of like-minded researchers, but are unable to attend this event, please fill out the form and include your contact information and a brief description of your research. We look forward to seeing many of you next month.
The Homelessness Research Initiative aims to be a nexus for researchers and practitioners to exchange discoveries, experiences, and ideas on the topics of homelessness, housing access, and their drivers and consequences. By connecting the efforts of faculty from across disciplines and campuses, the HRI serves to amplify research findings and translate them to a broader community of state and local governments, nonprofit providers, philanthropies, and others dedicated to improving the lives of those experiencing homelessness. The Homelessness Research Initiative unites faculty efforts from across the University of Washington to address homelessness through a research lens.
CSDE Affiliate Anjum Hajat and External Affiliate Trevor Peckham recently published research results in The Journal of Gerontology Series B: Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences. Their study entitled “The Inequitable Burden of the COVID-19 Pandemic Among Marginalized Older Workers in the United States: An Intersectional Approach” examines the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on employment conditions by race/ethnicity, gender and educational attainment and the association between such conditions and well-being in older adults in the United States.
CSDE External Affiliate Jennifer Laird and partners at Columbia University have been awarded a $26M grant from the National Science Foundation. The grant, which is expected to bring $980,456 to Lehman over five years, supports research centers focused on developing engineered systems technology and educational initiatives with high societal impact. It will fund the research and development of streetscape applications using advanced wireless technology to forge livable, safe, and inclusive urban communities—while promoting privacy and security. We look forward to the results of this study and congrats on the grant!
CSDE External Affiliate Daiki Hiramori has received a prestigious “Grant-in-Aid for Research Activity Start-up” from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. The title of the project “Queer Quantitative Sociology in Japan: Possibilities and Potentialities” will support research on (1) attitudes toward sexual and gender minorities, (2) the demographic diversity of sexual and gender minority populations, and (3) sexuality stratification (stratification by sexual orientations that are recognized normative or non-normative) in Japan. Let’s wish Dr. Hiramori a huge congrats!
The Institute for Education Sciences (IES) has released a new request for applications for fiscal year 2023 (FY 2023). The National Center for Education Research (NCER) is inviting applications for leadership of a Career and Technical Education (CTE) Research Network and research teams for the Digital Learning Platforms Network.
NCER seeks to establish a new CTE Research Network and to expand the Digital Learning Platforms Network, also known as SEERNet (https://www.seernet.org), established in FY 2021.
For more information about these networks and the application process, visit the IES Funding Opportunities [ies.ed.gov] web page.
IES will provide virtual office hours for this new competition. Please see the Digital Technical Assistance [ies.ed.gov] web page for additional details.
The National Science Foundation is offering Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants that supports doctoral research including field, laboratory and computational research on human and nonhuman primate adaptation, variation and evolution to advance knowledge about human origins and the dynamics between biology and culture.
The anticipated funding amount is $600,000 to $800,000 per fiscal year (1 October through 30 September), pending availability of funds.
Project budgets should be developed at scales appropriate for the work to be conducted. Proposal budgets cannot exceed $25,000 in direct costs for the entire duration of the award. Indirect costs are in addition to this direct cost amount and are subject to the awardee’s current federally negotiated indirect cost rate. The maximum project duration is 24 months.
The proposer may concurrently submit a doctoral dissertation proposal to other funding organizations. Please indicate this in the “Current and Pending Support” section of the NSF proposal, so that NSF may coordinate funding with the other organizations.
