Congratulations to this year's ISRCA recipients, especially @bsosumd recipients George Hambrecht (pictured), Marcus Johnson, and Kathryn Lafrenz Samuels! Looking forward to hearing about the results of these research endeavors.
The University of Maryland’s Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice President for Research have announced the ten recipients of this year’s Independent Scholarship, Research, and Creativity Awards (ISRCA). Now in its fifth year, the program provides grant funding to support a diverse range of research and scholarly projects, including studies on climate change, A.I. ethics, and archaeological investigations of Norse sites. The 2025 awardees, representing five colleges (@bsosumd, @umd_arhu, @UMD_MAPP, @UMDCollegeofEd, and @UMDPublicHealth) and nine departments across campus, will each receive up to $10,000 to support their research endeavors and associated expenses.

Discussing how Beyoncé’s cover of Dolly Parton’s ‘Jolene’ invites us to re-think power, leadership, and being kind yet confident with my ‘Sister Dean’ @SShonekan on her brilliant podcast was a treat! Music leads to thought-provoking conversations.

See below for interesting new insights from @umdgeography researchers on how consumers, particularly wealthy consumers, could reduce their environmental impact.
A new study sheds light on a crucial but often overlooked driver of environmental degradation: the spending habits of the world’s wealthiest consumers. The team, consisting of Kuishuang Feng and Laixiang Sun from @bsosumd estimated that the wealthiest 10% and 20% of global consumers are responsible for 31%-67% and 51%-91% of breaches in safe planetary boundaries, respectively.
