I just got an email informing me that my Annual Review on structural racism with @tyson-brown.bsky.social and @pahoman.bsky.social is open access. So, download away.

Care about marginalized people at least as much as you do inanimate objects challenge. Difficulty level: impossible.

🎉 I am THRILLED to announce that I will be starting at Colby College as an assistant prof. Of Psychology In Fall 2025! 🎉 I’ll be starting the ExPo Lab, and will be focused on working with undergraduates to study the causes and consequences of extremism and polarization.

America hasn’t felt this upside down since I was a child in an internment camp.

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

DEI is a corporate term, CRT is a legal framework, Black Lives Matter was a political slogan, Staying woke was a colloquialism. It’s not individual terms at fault here, people aren’t being confused into racism.

The kind of racism Trump & his ilk espouse is old-fashioned, even as it’s dressed up in modern DEI discourse. They get close to saying it outright but haven’t yet—but make no mistake, they sincerely believe white people are biologically & intellectually superior to nonwhite people.

Really looking forward to being part of the marginalia x BC colloquium next week!! And had a lot of fun writing up my bit of the newsletter 😊

Chumbawumba did not adequately prepare me for the number of times I would be knocked down and have to get back up

UnitedHealthcare has been accused of using algorithms to deny treatments and refusing coverage of nursing care to stroke patients. UnitedHealthcare and its parent company now face a class-action lawsuit over its use of the algorithm.

A lot of people think everything will work out if we just play by the rules but don’t seem to recognize that rules only matter when everyone agrees to follow them and, well, that isn’t our present reality.

🚨App review begins tomorrow!!🚨 NYU Social Psych is conducting a search for 2 OPEN RANK faculty positions! We welcome apps from researchers across all areas/sub-disciplines of social psych, & those w/ strong and/or unique methodological expertise are encouraged to apply.

"The game plan is simple. Selectively target scholars who study race, who will be primarily scholars of color. Launch an anonymous accusation. Then report on this as newsworthy in right wing media, hoping the mainstream media will pick it up...Institutions don’t have to voluntarily play along."

Excited to finally share this paper, nearly 5 years in the making! In it, me and co-authors share our thoughts on how (and to what extent) signals from the body map onto affective feelings. Writing this definitely brought forth more questions than answers! authors.elsevier.com/c/1ieTJ4sIRv...

I'm elated to share my PhD keystone paper published @PNAS www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... I've poured my heart & soul into this project since 2016 (8 yrs!) & I'm happy to introduce the Effort Foraging Task to the world #CognitivePsychology #Motivation #Effort #Foraging #DecisionMaking 🧵

Ezra Klein is basically right here. Gen Z is reacting to the only Israel they’ve ever known, and it’s a Bibi-led Israel that makes no bones about its anti-democratic and anti-Palestinian commitments. That, more than anything, is driving the shift in generational attitudes.

I am recruiting a PhD student to start Fall 2024 at UNH. Interested in gender and other social groups, language, NLP...? Apply by 1/15/24! I can't always reply individually to emails. But the "letter to prospies" on our website includes answers to FAQs: www.baileypsychlab.com/contact/join...

But let's talk about Harvard or scold some lefty kids at Oberlin.

They never say go to a defund the police meeting. They always tell us to go understand the white racists but we are always told a distorted view of any position that threatens the status quo.

MLK is a great example of why just following polls and doing whatever is popular at the time isn't always a good idea. I Have a Dream was 1963. The Civil Rights Act was 1964. By 1966, King's net approval was -30, with 44% highly unfavorable. Over time, large majorities realized he was right.

Some news: I’m honored to be one of this year’s recipients of the National Academies Eric and Wendy Schmidt Award for Excellence in Science Communication! I’m really grateful to the National Academies and Schmidt Futures for this award and recognition. 1/7. www.nationalacademies.org/news/2023/11...

I have not seen posts from Harvard faculty weighing in on Claudine Gay so for what it is worth, here is one faculty opinion. I have been a professor here since 1986. She was, by far, the very best dean of Arts and Sciences we have ever had. She was fair, collaborative and yet decisive. 1/n

Always grateful for @jaricheson.bsky.social

Beyond any “smart” sociological critique of Gay’s resignation, this has all made me sad and disheartened. As a Black political scientist who knows how few Claudine Gays there are, this has been hard to take in. And it’s sad—and admittedly a bit frightening—to know that any one of us could be next.

This is such a travesty https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2024/1/3/claudine-gay-resign-harvard/

Forgot if I posted about my new paper now out in Social Cognition. This is part of my series on why it is important to disaggregate Asian Americans in research. We showed that South Asian men (particularly with facial hair) are hyper-masculinized relative to East Asian men.

Amazing!!!

🚨New Pre-print 🚨 I'm happy to share the first paper to come out of my dissertation. This project was inspired both in terms of the economic focus of immigration within Canada, and people's responses to anti-immigrant rhetoric during the Trump era. 🧵 1 / n
