Contextualizing Islam in Times of Covid-19

In North Carolina's Triangle Area, the Islamic council of imams has cancelled congregational prayer and advised people to worship at home. In Senegal where 94 percent of the population is Muslim, the presidential decree prohibiting all public gatherings - including the Friday prayer - was initially met with ambivalence among some. In Kenya, the imposition of a country wide mandatory curfew starting from 7PM to 5AM, a government recommendation of at least 3 meters social distancing, and a shut-down and restriction of movement in the Nairobi metropolitan area and the Muslim majority counties of Mombasa, Kwale, and Kilift imply that the Muslim congregational and Friday prayer cannot be performed.

African-American Patriotism Study

The research project will also investigate how different manifestations of patriotism among organizers align with and potentially shift the organizing strategy within social movement organizations. I will explore (1) how tensions between Blackness, sexuality, and nation manifest in patriotic ideological development; and (2) whether these patriotic ideologies affect their visions (and praxis) for social change.

SGS Modeling in Children

The purpose of this study is to develop a useful computer model that can be used by doctors to diagnose and determine the best medical treatment plan for children diagnosed or suspected to have subglottic stenosis (SGS). SGS can be either congenital (present at birth) or acquired (the result of trauma or infection). Premature infants who require long-term breathing support are at increased risk of developing SGS.

ICU Surrogate Medical Mistrust

In this study we will measure medical mistrust among surrogate decision makers of intensive care unit patients that are unable to make their own decisions because they are too sick. We will then monitor various outcomes using the electronic medical record to make associations between surrogate medical mistrust and patient goals of care. We suspect that more mistrustful surrogate decision makers will require more time to make end of life decisions in the intensive care unit.
