Perhaps more than ever before in recent history, minoritized students need school and mental health counselors who are anti-racist and culturally competent. While my colleagues/co-authors and I focus extensively on gifted and talented students (GATE), our work is relevant to all racial and ethnic students who face individual and institutional barriers to success in school and life.
Welcome to an exciting new era in neurological care. Our upcoming Special Collection in SAGE Open Medicine, "Advances in Personalized Neurological Interventions: Bridging Transdisciplinary Insights," aims to be at the forefront of this evolution. We're at a unique point where advanced research intertwines with collaborative insights, and your contribution is crucial.
The quality and quantity of the generation and dissemination of mis- and disinformation in the form of inaccurate media are unprecedented resulting in the emergence of infodemics (rapid and far-reaching spread of both accurate and inaccurate information about a topic) They often relate to important matters (e.g., elections), and introduce risks that will likely escalate further. Although labeling false information seems logical in fighting false information, and experts call for this approach, findings in the literature on information-related labels are ambivalent.
Workaholism implies not only an over-investment in work, but also an inability to stop thinking about work, a permanent and uncontrollable need to work, and negative emotions (e.g., frustration, anger) if the employee is unable to work. In this research, we showed that over 40% of the participants surveyed had high levels of workaholism. Furthermore, employees who tended to prioritize their personal life and were not prepared to sacrifice everything to succeed at work were less affected by these high levels of workaholism.
The COVID-19 pandemic was an unprecedented global event that required swift and extraordinary actions to protect people from this new disease. These actions impacted the everyday lived experience of people around the globe. In the United States, an emphasis was placed on reducing human contact by canceling in-person events, transitioning to online school instruction, and requiring mask wearing when social contact was necessary. Therefore, our study sought to determine how sport participation impacted youth health for different populations of adolescents.
Welcome to an exciting roundup curated by the Sage Perspectives team! As we reflect on the dynamic year that was, we are thrilled to unveil a compilation of blog posts that captivated our audience and received the highest number of views from January 2023 to January 2024.
Centering the voices and experiences of Black string musicians supported by historical context was our main priority when writing this article. We initially thought there would be an increase in representation after the full integration of music competitions; however, the opposite was true.
Researchers from AO Spine and Praxis Spinal Cord Institute in Vancouver, Canada, have published a new set of clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of acute spinal cord injury (SCI). These guidelines play a major role in making treatment decisions for example in the timing of surgical decompression and the hemodynamic management in cases of acute SCI. Despite the mounting evidence, implementing guidelines into daily clinical practice is challenging—given biases towards clinicians’ hardened routines or material deficiencies in different global health contexts.
From identity politics to international conflicts, gendered violence through security lens to polycrises and policymaking, our upcoming week of free webinars will display fascinating range of the latest topics in Politics and Politics teaching.
Bicycle tourism contributes about $83 billion to the U.S. economy annually and is one of the fastest growing areas of outdoor tourism according to a 2017 report by the Outdoor Industry Association.[[i]] Recognizing Texas - rich in history, culture, and natural beauty - as an ideal place to promote bicycle tourism, the Texas State Legislature passed Transportation Code § 201.9025 which calls for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Bicycle Advisory Committee to make recommendations on the development of a statewide bicycle tourism trails network.
An intriguing discussion is going on in one corner of the world of clinical neuropsychiatry that has implications that are important for how a very common group of disorders are understood and, therefore, treated. ‘Functional disorders’ are conditions where physical symptoms and signs, after very thorough assessment, cannot be attributed to a general medical condition. Individuals with these conditions make up about 22% of all people presenting for primary medical care, and over 30% in some neurology clinics. The matter of debate is whether we know enough to attribute causation of these conditions to underlying psychological distress, or whether we should take an agnostic approach to causation.

Today, among many Marxists and labor scholars in the Global North, the largest segments of the world’s workforce is, amazingly, rarely considered or conceptualized as part of the working class. The segment of the workers I´m referring to is the world’s informal workers, especially the informal workers in the Global South and in Africa.
Every spring we take duck eggs from our farm to the local farmers market. One of our ducks usually accompanies us at those trips and greets customers sitting in the wicker basket. While people react very cheerfully to our duck’s presence, one time it was a rather unusual reaction: a young woman teared up when she saw the duck sitting in her basket. When I asked her what was wrong, she answered, smiling through tears, “she made me feel so good just sitting here and preening her feathers, so I cried because she is so sweet...”

This blog offers advice on how to maintain wellbeing and address bias in research as a PhD candidate, as well as some broader discussion of how identity and privilege factor into this work.
Becoming a father often represents a critical milestone in a man’s life. Much of the academic literature has focused on the roles, needs, challenges, and expectations of fathers after the baby is born, but there is a need to better understand what it means to be a father from the time they learn of conception through the opportunity they have to see their child come into the world. Fathers perspectives are important for developing resources and implementing programs to help fathers fulfill their roles, and support the needs of expectant and new mothers.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly built into technologies that we use in our everyday lives, and while it seems benign to use AI to delete an unwanted object from the background of a photo or draft a contract, the stakes are much higher when AI is brought into the field of medical imaging and the health of patients is impacted.
As a researcher, it can be challenging to showcase the real-world impact of academic work. Fortunately, Sage Policy Profiles offers a solution to this problem.

Lots has been written in the short time since on the development of generative AI tools and the use of ChatGPT in teaching, research and academic publishing. It has also sparked lots of philosophical conversations within the Research Integrity Group at SAGE about the ethics of using generative AI to ‘write’ (in quote marks) articles, about the potential risks of publishing articles not written (not in quote marks) by a human, and whether bots qualify as authors.
Minority and marginalised groups have historically been underrepresented in conventional modes of academic research where the balance of power sits with researchers rather than those participating in the research.
The theme of this year’s International Open Access Week is “Open for Climate Justice”. Climate change affects different people and places unevenly, leading to inequalities within and across nations, and between current and future generations.
An increasing body of research about the menopause and the workplace shows that professional management training, reasonable adjustments and support can have a hugely beneficial effect on anyone going through the perimenopause and the menopause, as well as the people around them.

Unlike qualitative studies that test several aspects simultaneously and adapt easily, quantitative research aims to measure something. It gathers data about a set of variables and focuses on testing one central idea. But, if something goes wrong, we may change the whole study.
Using social media platforms is a great way to promote your research on your own, but it can be difficult to figure out which platform is best for your goal. You could be interested in your content reaching a lot of people, discussing ideas with peers, or building a community of researchers. Knowing which platform is the best for you will help you save time and energy for more research endeavors.
