Off to Lisbon for my first SESP conference in 7 years! Please say hi if you see me and set your alarm for this 8.30am symposium on how resource ecologies shape psychology 🤓

This #SPSP preconference 1st happened in January of 2016 when the area was 'emerging'. It's more arrived than emerging these days. I will talk about how to approach inequality scholarship (be it central or peripheral to your research question) from a functional perspective: rdcu.be/eBHv8

Thrilled & grateful to launch the Psychology In Political & Economic Systems (PIPES) Lab @NYUAbuDhabi: tinyurl.com/4dw6h29r We'll be looking at how phenomena at the societal level (from polarization to extreme inequality) reflect & shape psychological functioning. Stay tuned for research & events!

The paper I'm most proud of from the past year: I got to join fellow Sidanius labmates to connect decades of research on social dominance theory, which ended up showing how the original idea of a 'basic grammar of social power' put forward by Jim and Felicia in 1999 is more plausible than ever...

Yesterday was my last day as faculty @lsepbs.bsky.social, a place dear to me, from my MSc 20 years ago to the first 10 years of my academic career! I will transition to LSE Senior Visiting Fellow, then focus on launching the Psychology In Political & Economic Systems (PIPES) Lab at NYU Abu Dhabi 🤓

Flights and hotel booked for SPSP :-) Speaking at pol psych precon, then attending intervention sci precon organized by former PhD student Julia Buzan. Also excited about Saturday symposium on social psych in Palestine. Check them out, and let me know if you'll be in Denver and want to catch up!

Punchy interjection from Karim Bettache (showing PSPR being more bold),asking why psychology doesn't do more study of capitalism. I agree - it's hard to notice as it's like the water we swim in, yet we'd always check water to be sure it's not getting too harmful! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

What is the political psychology behind the surge in support for figures like Donald Trump? @jsskeffington on why we need to go beyond crude identity politics & consider how ideological views vary among ethnic minority groups #LSEInequalitiesBlog

Just one week left to apply for either the 2-year post-doc or 1-year Lab Manager roles at my new lab at NYU Abu Dhabi!

I feel a bit like this about open science. The reforms will likely lead to positive outcomes, even if we overestimate their ability to solve our problems (e.g., replication crisis) The open science movement got us to THINK about what we're doing. That's a positive spin-off if nothing else.

Giving an online talk tomorrow at ICS Lisbon on my work with Lotte Thomsen bridging Relational Models Theory and Social Dominance Theory, open to all!
