NDIAS Graduate Fellow Publishes Article on Arranged Marriage
NDIAS Graduate Fellow Greg Wurm has recently published an article in The Journal of Family Theory & Review. The piece, entitled "Theorizing arranged marriage: The case of South Asian Muslim immigrants in love marriage societies," is Wurm's first solo-authored article.
Abstract (from publisher): In this paper, I draw upon the empirical literatures on arranged marriages among South Asian Muslim immigrants in the U.S. and U.K. in order to (a) provide a multi-dimensional model of the marital formation process that challenges the binary between arranged and love marriage and to (b) propose how trust operates as a general mechanism to explain both micro-level personal, interpersonal, and institutional motivations and negotiations around different marriage models as well as macro-level shifts in marital practices over time.

- German major uses language skills to help Notre Dame engineering professor unlock 93-year-old brain researchIn the fields of neuroscience and neuroanatomy, scholars often cite a 93-year-old paper that examines the thickness of cortical folds. The problem, at least for an English-reading audience, is that this knowledge has always been hiding in plain sight. The article was written in German but never fully translated — until now, thanks to a Notre Dame College of Engineering professor and a Class of 2022 graduate with a deep understanding of the language.
- Engineers use quantum computing to develop transparent window coating that blocks heat, saves energyCooling accounts for about 15 percent of global energy consumption. Conventional clear windows allow the sun to heat up interior spaces, which energy-guzzling air-conditioners must then cool down. But what if a window could help cool the room, use no energy and preserve the view? Tengfei Luo, Dorini Family Professor of Energy Studies at the University of Notre Dame, and postdoctoral associate Seongmin Kim, have devised a transparent coating for windows that does just that.
