Why did I write #SeeingOthers? Why it Matters? [recorded in Japan, jet-lagged]

Congratulations, Nicole!

This is a misconception I am hearing from everyone these days! Lack 👏 of 👏awareness 👏is 👏not👏 the👏 only👏 barrier👏 to👏 climate action Two others, lack of efficacy + solution aversion are in full bloom and must be addressed directly if we are to catalyze action. See ...

My research brief with @JoanieMazelis was reprinted in Fortune Magazine! We talk about our research with Kenneshia Williams, finding that student loan debt is associated with worse health, mental health and delayed health care use. fortune.com/2023/08/05/stu…

Racial discrimination and residential segregation have made summers hotter and more dangerous for Black Americans. Please read this powerful essay on the politics of swimming pools and social infrastructure by @MaraGay @nytopinion nytimes.com/2023/07/27/opi…

“Women earn more than 50% of PhD’s, but receive only 39% of postdoc fellowships & 18% of professorships.[..] The more decorated a male scientist is, the fewer women he trains, and universities hire their junior faculty members from these elite men’s labs.” theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

More than one-third of New College of Florida faculty will not be returning in the fall — a "ridiculously high" number in a single year. The school made national headlines after Ron DeSantis appointed six trustees with a mission to transform it. tampabay.com/news/education…

I spoke to the brilliant @saigrundy about the role of race and racial narratives in college essays and the narrative constraints the Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action multiplies for Black students in the college admissions process. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The idea that men hunt while women stay at home is at the root of many gendered assumptions about the way societies operate, but a review of the data shows this is wrong. #Echobox=1688252454" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">newscientist.com/article/238001…

“Deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life.” - Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

The SCOTUS ruling to strike down race-based admissions at Harvard and U.N.C. is NOT a win for #AsianAmericans Asian Americans have been used as a pawn and a wedge in a fight against #affirmativeaction White students will benefit most from this decision. cbc.ca/radio/asithapp…

Since the Supreme Court is in the spirit of reversing time through policy, taking us back and backwards, can't help but think of this old cartoon today. Money talks and privilege walks. In the case of admissions, it saunters into dorms. This court just made it even easier.

Dear God but I hate it when faculty who teach at colleges with a gazillion dollar endowment lecture me about "leveraging resources." Special shout out to the folks out here making magical stuff happen with seeds, stems, paper clips, half a bottle of sprite, and deep love.

It's because people are having fewer kids in an America that refuses to meaningfully support parents.

I'm excited to announce that I am now recruiting participants for my dissertation on gender euphoria in trans and nonbinary communities! The eligibility survey can be completed here: udenver.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8c… Please share with your networks!
