Do experiences with authoritarianism in the home country leave signatures on newcomers’ attitudes once they arrive? Cookie Kim theorizes an authoritarian regime legacy traces to Asian Americans immigrants, not so much Latinos. And, that influence thins out fast for 2nd Gen. #ASUPRIEC

We know parent political socialization matters for partisan identity development. HopeGomez calls for conceptually distinguishing clarity from strength parent socialization features. Key finds: low clarity of parent pid —> higher non-identifiers, strong parent parent id —> strong PiD. #ASUPRIEC

Our imagination of borders often elevates browness. Katie Clone refocuses symbolic bordering to whiteness by scrutinizing text from CNN and The Hill that addresses US refugee admission proposals. Key insight: there is a critical coverage of the cap for its whiteness “bordering practices”

How might union representation shape views regarding racial inequities in education? Adriel Bustillos reasons that perception of representation by unions may create support of egalitarian and equitable policy impacts especially in realms outside of economic and political life.

Why might corporations wade into politics of racialized issues? Ananya Hariharan teaches that firms have incentive to respond to employees, sorted as issue publics, even when doing so is unrelated to firms bottom line Tests if firms withhold donations to pols who back Jan6 insurrectionists 1/2

Kicking off the #ASUPRIEC program is ASU undergrad María Blandón. Argument: pol knowledge research lacks theory, measures of know how relevant in street politics, like ICE ambushing people en route to school, work, church, or home. Blandón shares new metric of Knowledge Your Rights Literacy 1/2

It’s that time!! #ASUPRIEC, Tempe , AZ. We’ll post highlights of presentations from the program. Shout out to team @asuclapr.bsky.social at @arizonastateuni.bsky.social who organized a great program and a roundtable on redistricting & elections.

Had a great time presenting and learning from colleagues at @priec.bsky.social Thanks @dadakim.bsky.social and @quicopedraza.bsky.social for organizing PRIEC’s 20th anniversary🌟

PRIEC in SoCal. Wonderful colleagues, interesting new research, and of course, the views and cuisines that SoCal has to offer.

Whoever took these candid photos deserves a raise. Thank you, @priec.bsky.social, for capturing so much of our 20th anniversary celebration conference. Excited for all of the other PRIECs this anniversary year!!!

PRIEC is now on Bluesky! 💙💛. Be sure to follow!

It was exhilarating celebrating 20 years of PRIEC! 🎊

Upshot: lithium mining can generate environmental damage, at great cost to nearby Native and other marginalized communities—some of which are already suffering from the harms from the mining other minerals. Needless to say, Christian is great, and all faults in this project are due to me.

TBC, the issue isn’t NIMBYism by Native and other marginalized communities. The issue is NIMBYism by comfortable communities who have the power to shove mining into someone else’s yard.

In "Framing the Fourteenth: How Frames Shape Public Opinion on Birthright Citizenship" Mai Do, UCR; Minhye Joo, Pitzer; & Jenn Merolla, UCR, show elite framing that invokes "anchor babies" dampens public support for birthright citizenship. Negative framing moves GOPers most. #UCRPRIEC20

We know that the incredible investment that community organizations provide includes facilitating civic engagement. @cruzita.bsky.social argues this investment facilitates courageous citizenship, whereby org interventions help people of vulnerable communities manage political risk. #UCRPRIEC20

"We are calling for attention to the full violence of deportations by taking serious the richness & complexity of stories using ethnographies & tools of critical inquiry." ~paraphrased concluding remarks by Jenny "Biographies of Removal: The Faces of Deracination" (Adrián Félix, UCR) #UCRPRIEC20

What's going on in the Dakotas? Christian Castillo UC Riverside presents work co-authored with @lauraevans.bsky.social The politics of extractive markets gets even more complex when layering sovereignty. "Green Mining: The Politics of Lithium and Indigenous Peoples" #UCRPRIEC20

Here is a tricky public policy puzzle. Taft Crowley, UCSB, explains how chronic disease burdens respond to global shifts in food production & food markets. Both drive surges in type 2 diabetes, & feed forward into material conditions shaping ability to pay for health care & migration. #UCRPRIEC20

Pushing what we know on emotional drivers of political participation, @abusrat.bsky.social, teaches us Muslim American mobilization is sensitive to different sources of Islamophobia. "Emotional Reactions to Islamophobia and the Political Participation of Muslims." #UCRPRIEC20

Flexing creative muscles, Nathan Chan (LMU) & Matthew Tokeshi (Williams College), advance the concept of "racial invisibility." For sure, the US hierarchy defined by race and nativity dimensions, but overlayed on both is variation in visibility. #PRIECUCR20

The @priec.bsky.social 20th anniversary meeting is 🔥🔥🔥

At @priec.bsky.social this morning — @fulyafelicity.bsky.social presenting on the ways that authoritarian regimes engage their diasporas and how those emigrants respond (or don’t!)

Linking racism, discrimination, & health, independent scholar Tandy Tillinghast, discusses how scholars can translate social science research to praxis. Key to this: transdisciplinary participatory action research that center survivors in design, data collection, & analyses. #PRIECUCR20

At the intersection of immigration politics & environmental politics, Sophia Tomany de Brito (UCSB), shows conservation appeals appear to be more of a booster than a bridge. GOP & Dems electeds carefully position on conservation, but stay firm on partisan immigration positions. #PRIECUCR20

Awash in plenty, @dadakim.bsky.social, Shaun Bowler, & the UCR crew coordinate us across 2 rooms Panel 1B, @minhye.bsky.social & @jieunspark.bsky.social kick us off with "The Politics of Skin Tone: How Does Skin Tone Shape Political Identities and Attitudes?" Answer: Your skin tone does matter!
