The first event of its kind hosted by SC&I, a recent Rutgers symposium brought together scholars and advocates from Rutgers and beyond to discuss diversity, equity, and inclusion in healthcare, and share research methods, findings, and next steps.

NYSCA honored Radford at its annual conference “for her continuous encouragement of students and junior faculty and her great support of our annual conference."

The study of taxonomy alignment and misalignment in biodiversity contexts; the role of digital platforms and data-driven systems in relation to state institutions and governance; how communication processes address inequity and marginalization; and ways everyday people talk about, engage with, and collectively shape the modern world around them are the research foci of the four new faculty members.

Monica Soveja MHCI’22 is among the first graduates of our Master of Health Communication and Information (MHCI) program. In this interview with SC&I, she shared her background, thoughts on the program, and advice for anyone interested in studying the communication, information, and media aspects of health-related policies and practices at the graduate level.

The School of Communication and Information’s iSchool faculty and students will participate in the 85th Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) Annual Meeting, scheduled from October 29 – November 1 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. For the first time, the conference will take place in the same hotel immediately following the Association for Library and Information Science Education Annual Meeting (ALISE).

As a senior majoring in Communication, Cuddihy highlights her research experiences at SC&I and the constant support she receives from advisors, faculty, and staff, and said, “I realized that the work we were doing had the power to call attention to ongoing disparities and improve people's lives.”

SC&I alumni, students, and faculty members partnered with Rutgers Athletics and Whoo-Rah Productions to produce the film which sheds light on gender inequality in sports and celebrates the 1982 Rutgers Women’s Basketball Team.

Members of SC&I’s faculty, Ph.D. students, and alumni will attend and present at the 2022 Association for Library and Information Science Education (ALISE) conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, October 24-26.

One of the study’s most important findings is that disaster recovery is not simply based on phases, but that time itself is an organizing mechanism of resilience processes. Staff members’ sense of urgency induced them to work even as they left their homes or worried about flooding.
