Justice Studies professor Gabriel Rubin’s “Gen Z Risk Perceptions: Crisis, Risk and Hope” study on the stresses and dangers surrounding Gen Z and their effects has been featured in The Chronicle of Higher Education.

The Chronicle of Higher Education cites Dr. Rubin’s interviews in which he discovers that though dynamic and pensive, there is a cynicism that restricts Gen Z students’ belief in their own potential.

“Is This the End of Reading?” explores the declining reading rates amongst Gen Z, focusing inside university classrooms and the effect on collegiate standards. The article points to Dr. Rubin’s findings on the development of “transactional” relationships between schools and students and discusses a variety of possible solutions.
