可乐视频 proudly announces that听Corey Robin, Distinguished Professor of Political Science at 可乐视频 and the CUNY Graduate Center, has been awarded a 2026鈥27听听by the American Academy in Berlin.

During his fellowship year, Robin will advance his new book project,听King Capital, which reinterprets major economists as political theorists. The project argues that influential accounts of capitalism are, at their core, disguised visions of politics. Robin contends that modern economic theories often translate ancient ideals of aristocratic, dynastic, and imperial rule into contemporary economic language.听His research examines the work of canonical thinkers, including Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus, David Ricardo, Karl Marx, William Stanley Jevons, Alfred Marshall, Joseph Schumpeter, Friedrich Hayek, and Milton Friedman, alongside lesser-known Marxist, socialist, feminist, and Global South economists.

As a Berlin Prize Fellow, Robin will join an international cohort of scholars and artists in residence at the American Academy in Berlin. Fellows receive dedicated time and resources to pursue major scholarly and creative projects while engaging with German academic and cultural institutions. Through lectures, readings, and public programs, fellows contribute to vibrant transatlantic dialogue and intellectual exchange.

Awarded annually, the Berlin Prize recognizes U.S.-based scholars, writers, composers, and artists who demonstrate exceptional achievement in their fields. Recipients represent disciplines spanning the humanities and social sciences, journalism, public policy, fiction, visual arts, and music composition.

Xinyin Jiang Leads Breakthrough Study on Prenatal Folate Supplementation /bc-brief/xinyin-jiang-leads-breakthrough-study-on-prenatal-folate-supplementation/ Tue, 12 May 2026 15:14:25 +0000 /?p=126074 Research published in journal Frontiers in Nutrition finds 5-MTHF may offer a promising alternative to folic acid during pregnancy while reducing excess unmetabolized folic acid in the body.

The post Xinyin Jiang Leads Breakthrough Study on Prenatal Folate Supplementation appeared first on 可乐视频.

]]>
A new clinical study led by Xinyin Jiang, professor of health and nutrition sciences, has found that 5-MTHF, an active form of folate, may be an effective alternative to folic acid in prenatal vitamins during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Published in the peer-reviewed journal , the 24-week randomized clinical trial examined how different forms of folate are processed during pregnancy. Jiang served as the study鈥檚 principal investigator.

鈥淭his study allows us to directly compare how different supplemental forms of folate are processed during pregnancy,鈥 Jiang said. 鈥淲e found that 5-MTHF can maintain folate status just as effectively as folic acid, but with significantly less unmetabolized folic acid circulating in the body.鈥

The study, funded by , followed 62 pregnant participants who received prenatal multivitamins containing either 5-MTHF or folic acid. Researchers found that those taking 5-MTHF maintained healthy folate levels while showing significantly lower levels of unmetabolized folic acid in both maternal blood and placental tissue. Folate plays a critical role in fetal growth and development, helping the body produce and maintain DNA. The findings contribute to a growing body of research aimed at improving prenatal nutrition and maternal health outcomes.

Jiang received both her doctoral degree in nutrition and her registered dietitian credential from Cornell University in 2013. Her research focuses on nutrients involved in one-carbon metabolism, including choline, betaine, folate, and vitamin B12, which play an essential role in early development and long-term health outcomes. Her lab conducts cell culture, animal, and human studies exploring how maternal nutrition during pregnancy influences the health of both mother and child.

On April 28, 可乐视频 and CUNY came together for 鈥淐ITE Day鈥 as educators and students convened to showcase how computing, digital literacy, and ethical technology use are being integrated into New York City classrooms.

Hosted in partnership with CUNY鈥檚 Computing Integrated Teacher Education (CITE) initiative, the event highlighted the work of the college鈥檚 Department of Childhood, Bilingual, and Special Education (CBSE) and the students, faculty, and staff who are at the forefront of preparing teachers to navigate and shape an increasingly digital learning landscape. The event also underscored 可乐视频鈥檚 role in a university-wide strategy to ensure that all future teachers, not only computer science specialists, are equipped to help K鈥12 students develop computational thinking and digital fluency.

鈥淎t 可乐视频, our students reflect the extraordinary diversity of our borough and our city, and they are preparing to serve Brooklyn鈥檚 communities and beyond,鈥 said 可乐视频 President Michelle J. Anderson. 鈥淭hrough our School of Education and the CITE initiative, we are ensuring that future educators are not only comfortable using technology, but are prepared to think critically about how, when, and why technology and data should be used in educational settings鈥攁lways centering student learning, equity, and well-being.鈥

鈥淐hildren growing up today need a foundation in computational thinking and digital literacy just as much as they need reading and math,鈥 said听CITE听Research听Director Sara Vogel, who welcomed attendees. 鈥淭hese skills give young people agency听across all careers, industries, and areas of civic life.鈥

According to research shared at the briefing, 92%听of jobs now require digital skills, spanning every sector of the economy. New York State has responded by adopting K鈥12 standards for computer science and digital fluency, while New York City Public Schools has advanced its CS4All听(Computer Science for All)听initiative since 2015. At the same time, the rapid rise of generative artificial intelligence has brought both opportunities and new challenges into classrooms.

鈥淎I is just the latest technology our students will encounter,鈥 Vogel said. 鈥淲hat matters is preparing teachers who can help children use these tools responsibly, understand their risks, protect their privacy, and advocate for their communities.鈥

A Model for Teacher Preparation听

可乐视频 has been engaged in this work since 2021, making it one of the most advanced campuses participating in CITE鈥檚 citywide effort. The Childhood, Bilingual, and Special Education (CBSE) Department has redesigned its curriculum from the ground up, weaving computing and digital literacy throughout undergraduate and graduate coursework, from early foundations to clinical practice, making it a model for computing-integrated, equity-centered teacher preparation at the college.

“Our faculty have done an exceptional job reimagining the curriculum by integrating computing skills and digital literacy across courses, in alignment with our School of Education鈥檚 conceptual framework,” said Mar铆a Scharr贸n-del R铆o, Dean of the School of Education at 可乐视频. “This framework centers on collaboration, critical self-reflection, reflective practice, diversity, and social justice,鈥 鈥淭he work presented by our students demonstrates not only their mastery of course content but also their commitment to the values at the heart of our mission. As many of our graduates are from Brooklyn and remain in the borough to work, they bring this cutting-edge knowledge directly back to their communities.鈥

Rather than treating technology as an add-on, faculty have reimagined teacher preparation to reflect how digital tools shape every aspect of teaching: lesson planning, data analysis, family engagement, and classroom instruction.

鈥淭his work has revitalized our entire department,鈥 said Professor Laura听Ascenzi-Moreno, a faculty leader in the initiative. 鈥淒igital听literacies听and computing are now integrated across every subject area, from the very beginning of the program to the end.听We鈥檙e听preparing teachers who are analytical, reflective, and able to pivot as education continues to change.鈥

Department Chair Hanna Haydar emphasized that the transformation has been both intentional and organic, growing out of faculty participation in CUNY-wide professional learning through听CITE.

鈥淭his gave us the structure and support to truly rethink our curriculum,鈥 Haydar said. 鈥淲hat we developed at the undergraduate level is now shaping our graduate programs as well. Our students graduate with confidence鈥攏ot only in using technology, but in their teaching practice and content knowledge overall.鈥

The grant has also supported essential faculty development, providing opportunities for intellectual engagement that has strengthened collegiality, fueled research and ensured collaboration across full- and part-time faculty.

Students Learning by Doing听

CITE Day was an opportunity for students, faculty, and visitors to engage with CBSE students鈥 presentations during Undergraduate and Student Teaching Showcases. The CBSE Department also hosted 鈥淔aculty Hour,鈥 an opportunity for faculty from other SOE Departments and CUNY Colleges to hear from CBSE professors about their curricular design and research emerging from the CITE Grant.

During two showcases, visitors met 可乐视频 undergraduate and graduate students who are currently student teaching in local schools. Their work demonstrated how computing and digital literacy enhance learning across subject areas.

Student projects included:

  • Programming with Ozobots across the content areas
  • Development of podcasts about multilingualism
  • Programming with Scratch to develop autobiographical portraits
  • Examing social media use and comparing digital and traditional reading
  • Ethical uses of AI chatbots to support lesson planning
  • Games, animations, and digital stories designed to bring math instruction to life
  • Professional digital portfolios that strengthen career readiness and classroom reflection

鈥淭hese are not isolated experiences,鈥澨鼳scenzi-Moreno听noted. 鈥淥ur students have built skills over time.听They鈥檙e听learning to use technology thoughtfully, creatively, and responsibly鈥攁nd to model those habits for their future students.鈥

Citywide and National Impact听

可乐视频鈥檚 efforts are part of a broader CUNY commitment to preparing New York City鈥檚 teaching workforce. CUNY enrolls approximately 15,000 teacher candidates each year, more than any other institution in the city. Through听CITE, the university is working with more than 1,000 faculty across 15 campuses, with the goal of reaching 12,000 pre-service teachers annually by 2028.

The initiative is closely aligned with and supported by New York City Public Schools, plus a network of external partners and funders, including Google, Gotham Gives, Robin Hood, and the Siegel Family Endowment, as well as advocacy organizations such as the Center for an Urban Future.

鈥淲e take our responsibility as the city鈥檚 largest preparer of teachers seriously,鈥 Vogel said. 鈥溈衫质悠 is helping create the next generation of educators鈥攖eachers who can use technology without being used by it, and who can ensure all children, regardless of background or school, are prepared for the digital age.鈥

Following the briefing, guests visited classrooms to observe student teachers in action, offering a firsthand look at how 可乐视频 is shaping the future of inclusive, technology-informed education.

HSS Expo is Coming! /bc-brief/hss-expo-is-coming/ Fri, 17 Apr 2026 14:59:26 +0000 /?p=124908 A message form Dean School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Philip F. Napoli, on what will be a great week!

The post HSS Expo is Coming! appeared first on 可乐视频.

]]>
During the week of April 27, the 可乐视频 campus will be abuzz with students presenting the finale of their hard work throughout the semester at the Humanities and Social Sciences Student Expo! 听Whether as part of a group or individually, each of these students have built projects with the guidance of their professors in a diverse range of intriguing topics relating to the materials of their classes.

Professor Mari虂a Pe虂rez y Gonza虂lez of the Puerto Rican and Latinx Studies departments says: 鈥淭he HSS Student Expo is an outstanding event where students can take pride in sharing what they are learning; it is part of a needed toolkit for our students to exercise their academic and leadership skills as they move forward in this world. An event such as this prepares students for graduate school and their careers as they enhance their ability to put together a presentation for the public and to build upon their public speaking skills. My students have participated in the recent past and it was a thrilling dynamic learning experience. I’m hoping the students this semester feel the same way!鈥

Among the many students that are set to be part of the Expo, History Professor Lauren Mancia has shown high enthusiasm for her groups. She states, 鈥淢y history students (HIST 3044; 9:45-10:45 on 4/27), for instance, are going to be discussing early modern books from the 可乐视频 Archives; in this event, they will expose audiences to the archival riches that our 可乐视频 Library contains.鈥 听Mancia continues: 鈥淢y other group of history students (HIST 4006; 12:30-2 on 4/28) are going to be engaging in performance-as-research live and in person at the Lily Pond. Their performances are not just reenactments or demonstrations of medieval ascetic behaviors for audience members; their performances are embodied investigations of medieval behaviors, a rigorous method that the students are using to learn about the European Middle Ages from the inside.鈥

And finally, Professor Sophia Bamert from the English Department has given voice to how the Expo connects these students and helps them develop skills outside the classroom. 鈥淭he HSS Expo gives students the opportunity to communicate their learning to an authentic audience and to celebrate all the hard work they’ve done,鈥 she says. 鈥淚 love bringing my first-years in ENGL 1012, the required composition class where we introduce students to the research writing process, to the HSS Expo so they can see how research suffuses everything we do here at 可乐视频 and be inspired by their peers. It’s a wonderful community-building event that takes students’ learning outside the boundaries of the classroom to share it with others.鈥

The HSS Student Expo will not only be a showcase of these brilliant students鈥 works, but it will also have a moment to engage with 可乐视频 alumni in a panel discussion creating a bridge between passion and purpose. This is a great opportunity for students majoring in HSS degrees to connect with working professionals and ask career-related questions.

Join us on these two extraordinary days, April 27 and 28, and for all of our Humanities and Social Sciences Week events! Click HERE for the complete schedule.

On April 15, 可乐视频 opened the exhibition 鈥淲e Are Brooklyn: Immigrant Voices,鈥 a multimedia showcase built from student interviews with immigrants and children of immigrants, many of them members of the students鈥 own families.

Held in the library, the exhibition drew students, staff, and faculty for its long鈥慳waited return. The work also pairs visual storytelling with digital access by placing QR codes alongside each oral history cutout. Visitors can scan the codes with their phones to listen directly to the recorded interviews, allowing them to hear the voices, emotions, and nuances behind each story while engaging with the display.

Produced by the听, the exhibition features stories rooted in the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Haiti, Pakistan, Albania, Grenada, Italy, and beyond. It first debuted on the 可乐视频 campus seven years ago amid heightened national debates over immigration and identity. After traveling to five venues across New York City, the exhibition returns newly updated and once again resonates with a political and cultural moment defined by questions of belonging.

Among those in attendance was Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams 鈥01, M.A. 鈥05, who visited alongside his mother, Patricia, whose own immigrant story is featured in the exhibition. Other speakers included organizers Jessica Siegel, professor emerita and the former director of the Listening Project; Jes煤s P茅rez, the director of the 可乐视频 Immigrant Student Success Office, who emigrated from Mexico as a child and graduated from 可乐视频 in 1995; and Joseph Entin, the project鈥檚 current director and professor of English and American Studies. Together, they emphasized how the initiative bridges classroom learning with lived experience, positioning students not just as learners, but as knowledge makers.

Providing a brief history and impact of immigration over the past few decades, Entin summed up the initiative perfectly.

鈥淭he Brooklyn Listening Project flips the educational script,鈥 Entin said. 鈥淲e sometimes think that college students are missing something, that they come to college to get what they lack. The Listening Project turns that idea upside down. It says: what we need at the college is what students have access to, what students know, what their families know, what their neighbors know. Through the Listening Project, students become experts. So this project is designed to allow you students to really bring the world to us, to show us what you know.鈥

We Are Brooklyn: Immigrant Voices听will remain on display in the 可乐视频 Library through May 15.

More About the 可乐视频 Listening Project

The 可乐视频 Listening Project is an interdisciplinary oral history initiative that transforms how students engage with knowledge. Founded by faculty, it equips students to conduct interviews with family members, neighbors, and community members, building a growing archive of everyday experiences.

Across disciplines, from history and sociology to journalism, global languages, and the arts, students learn to listen with intention, document lived experience, and create original research grounded in real lives. In doing so, they help preserve stories that might otherwise go unheard.

With more than 150 recorded oral histories, the project stands as听听of New York City, one shaped not by institutions alone, but by the voices of the people who call it home.
