Wrote for @currentpubmedia about the ways that journalists of color in public radio make its coverage stronger

Two days after Michael was killed, I wrote this short piece about what he meant to me – and more importantly, what he meant to us. It was the hardest thing I've ever written. Thanks to @VersoBooks for running it. versobooks.com/blogs/news/the…

12/1 deadline approaching! Send in your 1000 word abstracts! Work and Occs invites submissions for a special issue & virtual conference about Creative Work & New Technologies, with a focus on the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI). culturalaffairs.indiana.edu/news/cfp_abstr…

“Races” are ideological formations and ideological formations cannot cast votes; only individuals can. If you start from the point of asking why a certain individual voted a particular way, you will get much further in your analysis than by asking why a “group” did.

@BircedElif Congrats, Elif!!!

Not a coincidence that Stop the Steal theories of mass voter fraud involve conspiracies about election administration in Black cities. Working paper from @KevinTMorris & @IonShapiro shows that racial attitudes moderate beliefs about voter fraud. ungated papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

🚨 Excited to share my new @socprobsjournal article that rethinks the fields engagement w/ Liberation Sociology! When interviewing Black Millennials about their racial, religious, & political lives during BLM, liberation came up a lot. This study examines those narratives. #SocAF

@jelaniwrites @PrincetonUPress huge congrats! so excited for this :)

I'm EXCITED TO SHARE that my St. Louis ethnography is under contract with @PrincetonUPress! In "Shepherds and Kings" I show how the relationship between diversity projects and donors creates organizational mission drift and why that matters for all of us.

If you are interested in learning more about my book Visions of Financial Order (and in 1200 words or less!), please check out the Work in Progress blog. @PrincetonUPress @UTAustinSoc

CHENJERAI is always killing it. But, my word, Empire City is a kind of opus. His reporting chops, his activist’s heart (guts?), and his HUMOR all on display. Don’t sleep on this one. #EmpireCity @catchatweetdown crooked.com/podcast-series…

My first #NewPubAlert! This project began when I was still a Master’s student so it’s truly surreal to see the end result, and the gratitude I hold for ⁦@DerronWallace⁩ as my mentor and co-author simply can’t be expressed within 280 characters. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Here we go 💜 Pre-orders available now, will be out Feb 2025. global.oup.com/academic/produ…

New open access article on the labor behind AI systems! Drawing on a case study, I examine how technologists and data workers construct and morally justify stark inequalities, collaborating to "clean up" the morally questionable status of data work. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20…

Empire City is here. When you listen TODAY make sure you listen to ALL the credits. Like all documentary work, our podcast was a team effort. Folks sacrificed. And I want you to know who made it possible. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/emp…
