Another great talk, this time from Nick Ottone @nottone.bsky.social at @priec.bsky.social on the impact of group based diversity on downstream sentencing decisions (He’s on the market!! Look out, he’s on the way up!!)

Another great presentation from UT grad @averrilli.bsky.social on her project “Moving in and Mobilizing” about gentrifier behavior in their new neighborhoods @priec.bsky.social She is a rising star and on the market!

Off to a great start at #CUBoulderPRIEC @priec.bsky.social! UT grad @mirandasullivan.bsky.social presenting her excellent work on the impact of respectability politics among Latines… she finds… (She’s on the market! Keep your eye on this rising star 🌟#hookem)

Good morning everybody! Time for my favorite conference on the planet #BoulderPRIEC @priec.bsky.social (aside from J&IJ obvi 😉)

I’ve not been on a school bus in years. And I’d never been on one w @melissamichelson.bsky.social & @hlw.bsky.social until tonight! Thank you @sentencingproject.bsky.social for an evening of fellowship & clips of the film “And Water Brings Tomorrow” (ashleyhunt.info/andwaterbrin...)

Favorite quote from the morning plenary: “Collective resistance is political kryptonite” #CivicPower2025 @hlw.bsky.social @sentencingproject.bsky.social

And now we have a tag for our excellent coauthor @SamRothEA!! Great working with you, Sam!

Contributing to the  lit on where to place moderators in an experiment (shoutouts 🧵), @tabithabonilla.bsky.social, Genni and I consider whether items measuring prejudice are subject to unique considerations. Does asking these questions pre-treatment affect the experiment? @psrm.bsky.social

Super excited this is out in @polbehavior.bsky.social w/ @arielrwhite.bsky.social @melissamichelson.bsky.social #SamRoth & @dosocialjustice.bsky.social "Getting out the (newly enfranchised) vote: Encouraging voter registration after rights restoration" link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Partnering with @dosocialjustice.bsky.social, we used a multi-method approach to find a promising means of registering justice-impacted citizens to vote @arielrwhite.bsky.social @hlw.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1... @polbehavior.bsky.social

ngl this map of scheduled protests for this weekend is *wild*

Looking forward to presenting our work on the political behavior of incarcerated people tomorrow at CUNY! This is one of the more exciting papers I've worked on during grad school. We're also presenting findings at ASA in Chicago later this summer.

It's also very cool that @hlw.bsky.social has the presentation slot right after us. Workshop attendees are going to get a whole afternoon full of politics-of-criminalization research :)

Administrative takeover. See, they don't have to actually legislate the abolition of tenure. They can achieve the same ends once they've captured the administration, as they are currently doing at UNC, one of the largest public systems in the country: www.theassemblync.com/education/hi...

ATTN: CFP, Justice & Injustice 2025 Justice & Injustice is a small conference now 8 YEARS RUNNING! This year it'll be at MIT hosted by @arielrwhite.bsky.social! Conference dates: November 6 - 7, 2025 Link to apply: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Application Deadline: May 1, 2025

ATTN: New Paper Alert!! Forthcoming @poppublicsphere.bsky.social w/ #MarcelRoman #DerekEpp #ChrisCassella #KlaraFredriksson: "The George Floyd Effect: How Protests and Public Scrutiny Change Police Behavior" A thread 1/7 www.marcelroman.com/pdfs/pubs/de...

ATTN: New Paper Alert!! Forthcoming @poppublicsphere.bsky.social w/ #MarcelRoman #DerekEpp #ChrisCassella #KlaraFredriksson: "The George Floyd Effect: How Protests and Public Scrutiny Change Police Behavior" A thread 1/7 www.marcelroman.com/pdfs/pubs/de...

Chicago homicide is down 7% this year, almost 30% since 2021. NYC down 8% this year, 15% since 2022. LAPD down 20% this year, 30% since 2022. A remarkable reversal of the Covid spike in city after city. Yet no Big Thought pieces on "what went right." Mostly just ... silence.

In our work, we find that these concerns stoke anger and fear about U.S. immigration policy, feelings associated with willingness to protest for immigrants’ rights. @hlw.bsky.social, Marcel Roman, and others have observed similar effects. psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-...

A new piece from me @goodauth.bsky.social: How to think about the “racial realignment” in US politics. Two key points: 1 ) GOP gains among Black and Latino voters are not about gender or the “working class.” They are about IDENTITY and IDEOLOGY. goodauthority.org/news/electio...

Ready to start the second day of the Justice & Injustice Conference. So much great research and collaboration in this room. criminaljusticepolitics.wordpress.com @arielrwhite.bsky.social @hlw.bsky.social @allipatter.bsky.social @darazed.bsky.social

Congratulations, @allipatter.bsky.social for earning a grant with the @publicagenda.bsky.social Democracy Renewal Project. Her team will study strategies to encourage electoral participation among eligible Texas voters with felony convictions. publicagenda.org/news/drp-gra... @hlw.bsky.social

i think that a lot of people in political media *want to believe* that the broad public wants a "moderate abortion compromise" — defined as between what Democrats want and what Republicans want — despite the clear evidence that the broad public wants mostly-unregulated access to abortion services.

1/8 Check out this new article with co-authors @profkmorgan.bsky.social and Alice Militaru that looks at surveillance capitalism and private actors’ responsiveness to Dobbs through the lens of period tracking apps! Thread: www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...

I wrote for Newsweek about my experience miscarrying in Texas after Dobbs. Democratic erosion and authoritarianism aren’t abstractions happening elsewhere—my story & that of countless other women are reminders that they happen every day in Texas & in other states. Polisky Gendersky Academicsky
