The research aims to address the growing psychological challenges faced by youths by exploring whether internal resources such as happiness and faith can strengthen life competencies in times of crisis.

Teaching Controversial Issues under Conditions of Political Polarization: A Case for Epistemic Refocusing
Educating students for democratic life requires teachers to make difficult judgment calls about whether controversial issues are appropriate for directive teaching (i.e., teaching that attempts to persuade students to adopt a particular view about the thing being taught).

Challenges to Academic Freedom
It’s a tough time to be an academic. Colleges and universities have spent the last decades shifting toward an adjunct teaching force marked by little job security and low pay, with 73 percent of all faculty at US institutions being off the tenure track as of 2016 (AAUP, 2018). Meanwhile, campuses have seen a considerable uptick in intense ideological conflicts that have often involved campaigns to have faculty disciplined and fired for ideas and …
Minds Wide Shut: How the New Fundamentalisms Divide Us
In late 2020, a collection of leading political scientists wrote a brief in Science on what they characterized as the “fierce urgency” of fighting growing political sectarianism in the United States (Finkel et al., 2020, p. 536).

The Education Trap
The belief that education is an engine of social equality is a deeply seated and enduring feature of the American political imagination. In the time before public schools were ubiquitous, early proponents of common schools, such as Horace Mann, argued that widespread educational attainment would lead to a more fair and equal society (Massachusetts Board of Education, 1848). The recently inaugurated Biden administration invokes a similar belief ab…
