Shanyang Zhao serves as Professor in the Department of Sociology within Temple University's College of Liberal Arts, with additional affiliation in the Asian Studies Program. His academic profile demonstrates sustained engagement with foundational sociological questions through contemporary lenses. His research program centers on five interconnected domains: Sociology of Knowledge and epistemological paradoxes of situated truth Self and Self-Concept development in digital environments New Media's impact on social capital and identity formation Mental Health epidemiology and diagnostic frameworks Metatheoretical foundations of sociological inquiry Currently, Professor Zhao investigates the paradox of situated knowledge—examining how context-bound humans pursue objective knowledge while navigating inherent biases. His work challenges assumptions about scientific veracity, questioning whether relative truth criteria invalidate research purposes and exploring distinctions between social and natural sciences. This existential embedment theory framework represents his most significant contemporary contribution. Analysis of his 2014-2024 publications reveals three dominant trajectories: (1) self-theory reconceptualization through Jamesian frameworks, (2) digital sociology examining social media's impact on self-presentation and social capital, and (3) mental health epidemiology using population survey data. His interdisciplinary approach consistently bridges phenomenological theory, evolutionary perspectives, and empirical social research. No scientific awards were documented in the source materials. Information regarding student advising, grant funding, laboratory resources, or collaborative teams was not provided in available documentation. His teaching responsibilities include specialized courses in Sociology of Truth, Sociology of the Self, and quantitative methods.

John McCoy is an Assistant Professor of Marketing at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He is also affiliated with the Wharton Neuroscience Initiative and Penn's MindCORE hub. His academic work bridges marketing, cognitive science, and computational modeling. Dr. McCoy's research focuses on mathematical models of judgment and decision making , computational cognitive science , crowd wisdom , and forecasting . Methodologically, he uses a combination of behavioral experiments and computational modeling, drawing on ideas and techniques from psychology, economics, marketing, Bayesian statistics, and computer science. Much of his current work centers on better ways to aggregate judgments from multiple individuals, including in situations where the majority may be wrong and the truth may be unverifiable. His research has gained significant attention, with popular accounts appearing in the Wall Street Journal , NPR , and the New Yorker . A key contribution is the "surprisingly popular answer" method for extracting wisdom from crowds, which selects not the "most popular" answer but the "surprisingly popular" one by eliciting both answers and predictions about others' answers. Dr. McCoy teaches graduate courses including Consumer Research Topics and Marketing Management. His teaching focuses on contemporary topics in consumer research, drawing from marketing, psychology, and economics literature to help students develop research ideas and understand theoretical and methodological approaches to consumer behavior. His scholarly work spans multiple domains including crowd wisdom, individual-level decision making, semantic cognition, and graph theory. His research has important applications in marketing, healthcare communication, and forecasting methodologies.

Elaine M. Landry is a Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, Davis. Her research bridges the history and philosophy of mathematics, history and philosophy of science, and Plato’s philosophy of mathematics, with a focus on realism and structuralism . She has published extensively in top-tier journals and co-edited influential volumes, including work with Jean-Pierre Marquis. Education : Ph.D. in Philosophy (University of Western Ontario, 1998); M.T.M. in Teaching Mathematics (Concordia University, 1992); B.A. in Mathematics and Philosophy (Concordia University, 1990). Her research challenges mathematical realism by advocating methodological as-ifism , arguing that mathematical problem-solving should treat axioms as provisional first principles rather than metaphysical truths. This approach is contextualized through her analyses of category theory and its implications for structuralist philosophy. Key publications include Plato was Not a Mathematical Platonist (2023) and articles like "Mathematics: Method Without Metaphysics" (2022), which examine the interplay between methodology and metaphysics in mathematics and science. Her work has been cited in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Scientific Awards : France-Berkeley Fund (2014–2015); SSHRC grants (2007, 2003–2006); CIHR Research Collaborator (2004–2010); FCAR Fellowship (1998–2000). Elaine has over 30 years of teaching experience, including logic, history and philosophy of mathematics, and graduate seminars on structuralism. She co-developed open-source, online-graded logic courses for UC Davis. She founded the Philosophy of Mathematics Archive (PhilMathArchive) and served in leadership roles for the Philosophy of Mathematics Association and Canadian Society for the History and Philosophy of Mathematics.
