She is far too un-self-promoting to do this herself, so I'm shouting out *THE* Elizabeth Page-Gould (@page-gould.bsky.social) for winning the SESP Career Trajectory Award! Liz is the reason they had to invent the high-warmth/high competence quadrant. She is such a gem and so damn deserving of this.

Thank you for this beautiful tribute, Neil ❤️

Social psychology lost a giant, and I lost a dear friend and collaborator. Still processing the loss of Sam Sommers, and probably will be for some time. Cherish the time you have with your people, folks. now.tufts.edu/2025/03/20/r...

Dr. Sam R. Sommers was one of those truly good people who also happened to be a total powerhouse. It is with deep sadness that I share the news of his death. Everyone who had Sam in their lives was lucky, and I am grateful for every moment he shared with me. ❤️💖💫 now.tufts.edu/2025/03/20/r...

If you support renaming Dundas Street in #Toronto and can possibly email your councillor before tomorrow morning (when they will be discussing the issue), here's a web-based tool that will make it easier to do that: www.renamedundasstreet.ca/write-a-coun...

We have tracked more than 1,532 deaths in custody across Canada since the year 2000. Faqiri was one of 85 deaths in custody in Canada that year. Deaths in custody are rarely natural, the average age of all those who have died across Canada is just 44.5 years old. ottawacitizen.com/opinion/opin...

I met a psychotherapist who seemed surprised and confused when I made a joke that people cut off all their hair in times of psychological crisis. I find this deeply concerning. (LOLOL but seriously)

"She offered the asking price, which was accepted, and sent over a down payment. And then when she was in escrow..her broker called..with some bad news..‘I don’t know how to tell you this, but she doesn’t want to sell the home to you, and it’s because you’re Black.’” www.nytimes.com/2024/05/31/r...

I spoke with the Chronicle of Higher Education yesterday; they read my Brookings article and wanted to follow-up since another round of university presidents will have to testify before Congress next week. I think leaders should use this as an opportunity to stand up for higher ed. 1/4.

Amazing: the President of the Ontario Federation of Labour says if U of T wants to raze the encampment on Monday and “move against the students, you’ll have to go through the workers first.” A solidarity rally of unions will be held at the university’s deadline of 8am Monday. ofl.ca/ofl-open-let...

Is this a safe space to point out that the largest direct air capture plant in the world — designed to remove 36,000 tonnes of CO₂ each year — is a time machine that takes us back 28 seconds in a year. 🥲

what a paragraph. what a fucking paragraph.

when the university says they want "bold change makers" they mean in a grant indirects sort of way. 😬

when we talk about “humans destroy everything” on stolen and colonized land, we have to name when the destruction actually started, and by whom.

Today May 1 is start of the AAPI Heritage Month. Instead of blind glorification of our identities, let’s be intentional on what we stand for. First, read the history of the term Asian American. It’s a political term born out of solidarity with other POC time.com/5837805/asia...

We have couple of new papers from the lab, (1) on how Black and Asian parents engage in what we call collective racial socialization: psycnet.apa.org/record/2024-...; and (2) how hair texture might matter for how children invisibilize Black women: psycnet.apa.org/record/2024-...

Excited to have @mwkraus.bsky.social visiting today and talking about ongoing work on Asian American racism, meaning making and solidarity. How do narratives of opportunity shape our understanding of the world, our motivations and how do the narratives maintain and perpetuate social inequality? 1/

Here are some thoughts on the "islamophobic poster" at the recent @spspnews.bsky.social @spspsc.bsky.social conference. I highlight that this poster incident is a marker of systemic racialization of Muslims Please, read and forward to those who are thinking about what can be done. osf.io/s4mvy
