Assistant Professor of Sociology Jaime Kucinskas was invited to respond to Matthew Nisbet’s 2019 article “Science, Publics, Politics: Mindfulness Inc.” in the journal Issues in Science and Technology. Her response was featured under “Mindfulness Muddle” in the Forum section of the current issue.
Kucinskas underscored that challenges facing the mindfulness movement, such as lacking diversity in leadership, are typical of many elite-driven movements trying to address contemporary social inequities and problems.
