Dyson Professor Melvin Williams speaks with USA Today about why the viral 'Harry Potter' meme is taking over TikTok feeds.
"Our engagement in the 'Harry Potter' TikTok trends exhibits how audiences are no longer passively waiting for media conglomerates to supply content for their consumption needs, but instead are actively creating what they desire to see using familiar pop culture figures, symbolism and the autonomy that has always been at the hands of media consumers," says Melvin Williams, associate professor of communication and media studies at Pace University.

Dyson Professor Seong Jae Min writes an op-ed in The Korea Times about polarization in Korea.
I came back to Korea after a long time abroad, and one of the most visible issues that I notice in Korean society today is that of polarization. Polarization generally refers to the splitting of society into conflicting groups such as rich and poor, old and young, and urban and rural, which this rapidly growing and competitive country has experienced quite a good deal over the years. But what makes today’s polarization particularly challenging is its scope and nature. The type of divisiveness Koreans are experiencing now is what some scholars call “affective polarization,” where in-group members exhibit animosity toward out-group members. And it seems to be widespread across Korean society.

In a geometric sense, plating in odd numbers creates a line that the eye feels drawn to follow. One study by Terence Hines of Pace University found that odd numbers are literally more thought-provoking than even numbers. Hines displayed two numbers on a screen and asked participants to press a button only when the numbers were either both even, or both odd. On average, it took participants 20% longer to press the button when both numbers were odd, as it took the brain longer to process them.

Darrin Porcher, a criminal justice professor at Pace University and former NYPD sergeant, said the city needs to do more to crack down on the increasingly lawless domain of scooters and mopeds, many of which don't even have license plates. "I believe the NYPD now has to construct an enforcement unit that specifically targets mopeds, scooters," Porcher said. "We have people that ride scooters and mopes that act with impunity as they drive through our streets. They commit crimes and nothing is being done about it."
