  • DEI physical search forms transition to electronic

    The Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is excited to announce the launch of new electronic forms (e-forms) for faculty and staff searches. Beginning July 1, 2026, all new searches are required to use the e-forms (available through myBinghamton).

    The e-form is designed to streamline the search process by removing redundancies and allowing for search form tracking. Searches already in progress using the current paper/PDF forms may continue using the paper process or choose to transition to the e-forms.

    To support this transition, DEI e-form orientations will be available in July, August, and September; register via B-Engaged.
    Search administrative support, search chairs, and others involved in the search process are encouraged to attend a training session and become familiar with the new system.

    Departments needing a dedicated demo or training session may contact deisearch@binghamton.edu to schedule.

  • New opportunities to share your expertise through The Conversation

    Do you want to see your research highlighted in high-profile media? Take a look below at the current opportunities and reach out to dhermanovitc@binghamton.edu and jbrhel@binghamton.edu if you would like to pitch yourself to write for The Conversation.

    1. 2026 midterm elections:
    The Conversation is looking for pitches related to the 2026 midterms. Some of the topics The Conversation would like to explore include the following: AI influence on elections, voter security and perceptions of election fraud, justice department influence on state elections, and ballot initiatives worth watching.

    2. Trans athletes and SCOTUS:
    In anticipation of the SCOTUS ruling on Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. BPJ, The Conversation is looking for story ideas and scholars who can write about the complexities of biological sex and athletics from a health, medical, scientific, sociological/anthropological, and/or philosophical perspective (and other relevant fields!). The focus will be less on the legal particulars of the cases and more on the broader medical, social, and cultural implications they have — e.g., on what biological sex means and how it is measured, and on how human biological variation is regulated and valued. They have previously published stories on historical inconsistencies of how biological sex is measured, and would recommend thinking of angles that cover new ground or build on prior coverage.

    3. “Compute” as a noun:
    The Conversation is looking for a language scholar who specializes in jargon to explain the new use of the word “compute” to mean computing power or computer processing as a resource. The article will touch on the context of data centers and AI, but will focus on the nature of jargon and how and why terms like this emerge.

    The Conversation is the most-read nonprofit news website in America, and features fact-based articles written by those in academia to provide greater depth to current events, science/medical news, and much more. All Conversation stories are published under a Creative Commons license — meaning hundreds of news sites and newspapers worldwide have republished Conversation content for free. Binghamton University has had more than 100 faculty members write for The Conversation, and many of them have submitted multiple articles over the last decade!

    Do you have other research/expertise you would like to write about in The Conversation? Use the online pitch form linked below to submit your suggested story idea. Hold off on writing a complete draft until you hear from a Conversation editor about whether they’d like to pursue the topic; they will help you shape the outline of your story before you start writing.
