Data Justice: Critical Approaches to Quantitative Research in Communication
Data Justice: Critical Approaches to Quantitative Research in Communication
Thursday, February 9th, 2023
12:00 PM - 01:00 PM
Storrs Campus s.uconn.edu/commspeaker
Against the backdrop of rising global inequalities, misinformation, right-wing authoritarianism, white supremacist incursions, and climate crisis, this talk will discuss the role of data and quantitative approaches to communication from a critical lens. It argues that communication and media play a central role in humanizing information systems and technologies, bridging methodologies divides between social sciences and humanities, and create pathways to find solutions to some of the most urgent social issues of our times. -

Topic: Suicide Prevention among Aging Adults
April 20, 2023 | 12:30 - 1:30 PM
I am a clinical psychologist and mental health services researcher with a longstanding interest in older adults and suicide prevention. My current research seeks to improve the quality of care for persons with serious mental illness and the aging population with a focus on suicide prevention. I am conducting a NIMH-funded study using Medicare data to examine the service use patterns, predictors, and outcomes of older adults treated for acute suicide risk in hospitals. I am also co-leading a NIA-funded analysis of Medicare claims to conduct the first US cohort study on the risk and protective factors for all-cause mortality, suicide, and self-harm during the early course of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. I am also a Co-Investigator on a project that is developing and pilot testing a peer-based intervention for Veterans with high suicide risk.
