Excited to share that the special issue, "The Catholic Priesthood in Times of Change," in the Review of Religious Research was released this month! This issue features my first solo-authored article, in addition to some other great reads by my colleagues. Check it out!

Everyone should go and give my wonderful department's page a follow!

Check out this paper that @ndsociology.bsky.social's William Carbonaro, Kenya Lee, and Amy Langenkamp recently published in ASR, titled "Racial Inequality in 8th-Grade Math Course-Taking: Between-School Inequality, Local Achievement Queues, and Course Placements." doi.org/10.1177/0003... #sociology

Wow, so many new faces here! My name is Caitlin, and I’m a 2nd-year sociology PhD student at Notre Dame, researching how religious persons navigate the medicalization of mental health. I am passionate about slow travel, musical theater, and cheering for the Fighting Irish. Happy to be here :)

Just wrapped up leading a discussion on permaculture in our Environment, Food, and Society course. It's so refreshing to see the next generation of students excited by possible solutions to our climate crisis and incorporating climate justice and soc concepts we covered in class into their analyses!
