Welcome to The Stitch

Hi! I’m Mary, and I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m a college professor with a PhD in Sociology, and I love sharing research I come across.

I started Knowledge Stitch to amplify academic insights on social issues, and I’ve launched this weekly newsletter as a way to make sure you stay informed.

My goal here is simple: share key insights direct to your inbox.

In each issue, I’ll feature a few articles and projects related to art, business, climate, culture, fashion, food, health, lifestyle, love, and politics - and who knows what else.

From workplace bullying in the global apparel sector (Bangladesh), ableism in post-secondary education systems (Canada), to conspiracy thinking in the media (Sweden) and insights into the workings of universal basic income (Australia), there’s something for everyone.

In these uncertain times of fake news overwhelm, let’s cut through the noise and get back to basics: evidence-based research—informed by people and the lives they live—to help us make better sense of this beautiful, disturbing, wonderful, and confusing world we call home.

Until next time,

Mary
