TCNJ Sociology at the American Sociological Association annual meeting!

Dr. Borland and Dr. Li enjoyed catching up with TCNJ alumni and students, including graduate students Jordan Ekstrom, Bhumi Shah, and Cameron Keating, alongside alum Dr. Kaitlyn Boyle (now a professor at the University of South Carolina).

We also want to celebrate rising senior Jenna Needham ā€˜27 for participating in this yearā€™s ASA Honors Program!

We love seeing our sociology community connect at ASA and look forward to doing it again next year in Chicago!

What do you do in archaeology field school when its raining buckets? You start cleaning and analyzing all the artifacts found during last weekā€™s digging including a British half penny from 1775 and numerous ceramics. Hopefully they will be back out in the dirt tomorrow.

Huge congratulations to Dr. Tim Clydesdale, Professor of Sociology, on being named a Research Fellow at the Institute of Advanced Studies at Loughborough University! šŸŽ“šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§
Out of over 300 global applicants, Tim was one of only 12 scholars selected for this prestigious residency. During his 2027 sabbatical from TCNJ, heā€™ll be heading to the UKā€™s premier hub for sports scienceā€”where Team UK trainsā€”to launch a groundbreaking international research project.
Tim will be collaborating with colleagues at Loughborough to survey and interview student and performance athletes, adding a vital international dimension to his ongoing U.S. research on student atheletes. We canā€™t wait to see the insights and journal articles this partnership produces!
Safe travels on your journey from the UK and back! āœˆļøšŸŒŠ
