SUMMARY:A Cautionary Tale about Parental Involvement in Children's Schooling: How Parental Involvement Really Works
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Angel Harris\, Professor of Sociology and Public Policy\, Duke University \nProfessor Harris’s research interests include social inequality\, policy\, and education.  He has published several articles and book chapters on the racial achievement gap that have appeared in various academic journals such as Social Forces\, Sociology of Education\, Social Science Quarterly\, the Annals of the American and Political Social Science\, and Sex Roles.  Dr. Angel is the author of Kids Don’t Want to Fail (Harvard University Press)\, which provides an in-depth quantitative assessment of whether youth from marginalized groups purposefully resist schooling in both the United States and the United Kingdom.  He is also the author of The Broken Compass: Parental Involvement with Children’s Education (Harvard University Press)\, which examines the link between parenting and youths’ schooling outcomes.  \nProfessor Harris also serves as Director of the Research on Education and Development of Youth (REDY) Program.

SUMMARY:Uncovering the Various Dimensions of Nutritional Disparities: Innovative Approaches and Public Health Implications
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jennifer Poti\, UNC-CH Research Assistant Professor\, Nutrition\nDr. Poti is a nutritional epidemiologist interested in understanding the complexities of the US food supply\, purchasing patterns\, and dietary intake. She received a Bachelor of Science degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology from Johns Hopkins University and earned a PhD in Nutrition with a minor in Epidemiology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She has been at the Carolina Population Center as a member of the Global Food Research Program at UNC since 2010. \nDr. Poti’s research focuses on how shifts in the American diet away from whole foods and home cooking toward highly processed foods and foods prepared away-from-home (e.g. fast food and restaurant foods) are related to dietary quality and obesity among US children and adults. In addition\, her work has focused on monitoring the US food supply and documenting long-term dietary trends among Americans. She is currently studying sources of sodium\, saturated fat\, and sugar in household food and beverage purchases and evaluating changes in the nutrient content of purchases that may occur as a result of manufacturers’ efforts to reformulate packaged foods and introduce new products. She also currently helps to lead her team’s Crosswalk project\, which links nutrition label data to national dietary intake surveys in order to examine nutritional changes in the US food supply and assess potential impact on dietary intake of Americans. Dr. Poti’s work is particularly focused on understanding long-term food purchasing behaviors and diets within critical subpopulations (particularly non-Hispanic black\, Hispanic\, and low-income children and adults) who are at higher risk for obesity and obesity-related cardiometabolic disease. Her research evaluates the differential effects that recent changes in the US food supply have on diet disparities in the US. \nDr. Poti’s research has included successful interdisciplinary collaboration with experts in nutrition\, epidemiology\, and economics. She has formal training in epidemiology and analytic methods including regression modeling\, analysis of categorical data and time-to-event analysis\, advanced methods specifically in nutritional epidemiology and obesity epidemiology\, and econometric modeling methods including longitudinal analysis of panel data and instrumental variable techniques. Dr. Poti’s research experience has provided her with a strong skill set for assessing and representing dietary data\, including analysis at the nutrient\, food\, or food group level; creation of food grouping systems; and dietary pattern analysis using a priori indices or data-driven approaches. She has extensive experience working with large\, population-based nationally representative sources of dietary data\, including the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) dietary intake data and the Homescan commercial food purchase data. Dr. Poti’s published research produced results with important policy implications\, including studies that helped to inform development of the USDA’s nutrition standards for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs as well as work that has been used to develop food procurement standards for the county of San Diego\, CA.

SUMMARY:300 Million Test Scores and What Do We Know? Educational Opportunity and Inequality in the US
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sean Reardon\,\nProfessor of Poverty and Inequality in Education and Professor (by courtesy) of Sociology\nDirector\, Stanford Interdisciplinary Doctoral Training Program in Quantitative Education Policy Analysis \nSean Reardon is the endowed Professor of Poverty and Inequality in Education and is Professor (by courtesy) of Sociology at Stanford University. His research focuses on the causes\, patterns\, trends\, and consequences of social and educational inequality\, the effects of educational policy on educational and social inequality\, and in applied statistical methods for educational research. In addition\, he develops methods of measuring social and educational inequality (including the measurement of segregation and achievement gaps) and methods of causal inference in educational and social science research. He teaches graduate courses in applied statistical methods\, with a particular emphasis on the application of experimental and quasi-experimental methods to the investigation of issues of educational policy and practice. Sean received his doctorate in education in 1997 from Harvard University. He is a member of the National Academy of Education and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is also a recipient of the William T. Grant Foundation Scholar Award\, the National Academy of Education Postdoctoral Fellowship\, and an Andrew Carnegie Fellow.

SUMMARY:Of Men and Microbes: Social Determinants of the Microbiome
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jenn Dowd is currently Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Global Health in the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine\, King’s College London. She is also Research Associate Professor of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the CUNY School of Public Health\, City University of New York\, where she was a faculty member from 2008-2016. Her research covers topics in social epidemiology and population health focusing on the interaction of social and biological factors over the life course. Specific projects include understanding the role of stress and immune function in health inequalities\, links between infectious and chronic disease\, trends in educational attainment and mortality\, and the impact of long-term obesity on health and functioning.\nDr. Dowd received her Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2004 with a focus on economics and demography from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Office of Population Research. From 2006-2008\, Dr. Dowd was a Robert Wood Johnson Health & Society Scholar in the Center for Social Epidemiology and Population Health at the University of Michigan
