With reports that an Instagram for children is under development, we draw sociological insights on the move and the backlash. And, I speak with Professor Jacob Felson of William Patterson University about his recent paper titled “Online or in Person? Examining College Decisions to Reopen during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Fall 2020.” The paper is published in Socius, and is co-authored by Amy Adamczyk.

Segment 1 – Jacob Felson on “Online or in Person? Examining College Decisions to Reopen during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Fall 2020.”

Segment 2 – Instagram is developing a version for children, but some are pushing back against the initiative.
