Was able to cast a vote in my building for Ontario election ✨

I know the world is on fire, but please look at all these men lining up for tiny flower on Valentine’s Day 🫶

everyone in your life talking about narcissists these days too? my co-author and i wrote a little article about it, out now! academic.oup.com/socpro/advan...

Long time in the making, so it's great to see that my paper, 'Legal cynicism, intrusive policing, and the dynamics of police legitimacy: evidence from Brazil’s largest city', is finally out at Law & Society Review! doi.org/10.1017/lsr.... @criminologyuom.bsky.social

I'm definitely having a similar experience.

UNB's St. John campus is hiring a TT position in Sociology with an emphasis on quantitative methods. Although there are rules about prioritizing Canadian candidates, I would encourage US folks to apply. universityaffairs.ca/search-job/?...

I tend to catastrophize, but things seem to be going much worse than I imagined.

In the article, Philip Cohen (2025) discusses some of the uncertainties many academics may be feeling at the moment. The author provides some tips for scholars grappling with this uncertainty and urges us to write “as if the truth really matters.”

Does the culture you grow up in shape the way you see the world? In a new Psych Review paper, @chazfirestone.bsky.social & I tackle this centuries-old question using the Müller-Lyer illusion as a case study. Come think through one of history's mysteries with us🧵(1/13):

Given today's events, for people in the US who might be looking for opportunities for science-leadership positions in other countries right now...thought I'd point out we are actively searching for a new Dean of @ubcmedicine.bsky.social in Vancouver, Canada: ubctoday.ubc.ca/news/january...

No one has ever “enjoyed” Outlook, I fear.

So pleased as always to talk with @lbarronlopez.bsky.social at @pbsnews.bsky.social tonight about rising misogyny & to have the chance to share @perilresearch.bsky.social & @splcenter.org’s new tool to understand & prevent gender- and sexuality-based bigotry: www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

As we have documented in sociology, many draw symbolic boundaries, try to create distinctions & avoid exclusion by trying to pass in response to the stigmatization of whole groups. Individuals in tenuous situations may adopt majority opinions as a survival strategy. www.academia.edu/125869624/IM...

I say it every year. The École Polytechnique massacre of Dec. 6th, 1989 had a profound impact on me as a woman, a 1st-year undergrad, and a Montrealer. It was one of those moments that completely changes the way you think and feel about the world and all the things in it worth fighting for.

Final guest lecture from visiting @UofT_Sociology student Yuxuan Gu research on gender violence in 🇨🇳 China. Her study shows women’s empowerment initially increased male backlash and violence, but this tapered off over time. Eye-opening findings on progress and resistance!

I created a starter pack of scholars working within Men and Masculinities Studies using feminist gender perspectives 🔍 Feel free to tell me if you want to be included! 😊 go.bsky.app/PdaLFUw

This is one of the best papers on discrimination in recent years. Read it, read it again. More and more evidence that introducing subjectivity at almost any stage increases discrimination.

And finally, here is the link to my recent BBC R4 appearance with Lizzy Pearson 📻 Enough shameless self-promotion for now...back to work 😇

Aneroid, Saskatchewan. Named as such because a survey party lost their aneroid barometer somewhere near the current townsite. #Canada #Saskatchewan #Rurex

Today is the day that made every Canadian woman of my generation a feminist. Today, we remember. Je me souviens. (L’ecole polytechnic massacre, Dec 6, 1989.)

🚨 Accepted in Journal of Social and Political Psychology What drives support for political violence after perceived injustice? We followed up on 805 individuals before and after a court decision that sparked violent protests among Catalan independence supporters. 🧵👇🏼

Pretty proud of these stats!

My paper on the constitution of gender identity has been published in an issue of MIND. 📚 I’m very pleased and surprised since I was told it might take years after being available online… it’s been less than 6 months! 😮 If you haven’t read it yet, it’s a great time to do so! 🥳

It’s Trans Day of Remembrance. 🏳️‍⚧️ Here are some orgs/people I donate to: - Trans Lifeline translifeline.org - Gender Reveal (podcast+microgrants) www.genderpodcast.com/donate - Assigned Media/Evan Urquhart www.assignedmedia.org/support - Katelyn Burns www.patreon.com/katelynburns

Got some new books! I know the fact checking one seems weird but academics/journalists were discussing how comparatively fact checking is much more rigorous and a honed skill in journalism. Seems increasingly important to get things right!
