Among people with similar education levels, Black parents earn less income, which explains why the effects of parental education on offspring education is weaker in Black than White families. scipublications.com/journal/index.… This is in line with our other work on youtube.com/watch?v=I0TQ-F…

Getting an education, finding a job & getting married are the traditional steps to ascending the middle class. In this OpEd, @assarish (@cdrewu) argues that those steps are not enough to combat racial inequality & systemic racism. Learn more in @theprogressive. ⤵️

@theprogressive @SSNScholars my honor

@assarish @SSNScholars Thank you for working with us on this!

Education, employment, and marriage do not uniformly lead to upward mobility for every group of Americans. @assarish @SSNScholars #racism #upwardmobility #inequality progressive.org/op-eds/we-need…

The first presidential debate for the #2024Election was held last week. In this OpEd, @assarish (@cdrewu) draws on research to argue that Trump’s strategy of leaning into the "power of bad" is very effective. Read more in @fulcrum_us : thefulcrum.us/ethics-leaders…

Thank you @fulcrum_us for the opportunity to work with you on this piece. #Debates2024 #DebateNight

Umbrellas don’t make it rain. Here's a summary of my 10-year research: Highly educated Black families face discrimination and racism, leading to far worse health than equally educated Whites. #HealthInequity #StructuralRacism youtube.com/watch?v=I0TQ-F…

@VinaSean @ASADrugSoc You are on the right track. The same finding is shown for cigarette, e-cigarette, Hookah, alcohol, marijuana, exercise, sleep, diet, health care use, etc. So, your findings make a lot of sense. Again, thank you for your very important work.

@VinaSean @ASADrugSoc Great work

@RyonCobb @SandyDarity @Forbes @Adolfocuevas01 @ChristyLErving @PRBA_ISR @DarrickHamilton @SociologistRay @tenelewis2 @beyoung40 My most recent paper also supports @RyonCobb and @Adolfocuevas01 findings. Here I showed stress predicted substance use of White than Black youth. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

@SandyDarity @Forbes @Adolfocuevas01 @ChristyLErving @PRBA_ISR @assarish @DarrickHamilton @SociologistRay @tenelewis2 @SandyDarity: Still, middle-aged White adults’ belief that they’re victims of discrimination is a risk factor for biological aging (@Adolfocuevas01 et al. '24) inflammation (@RyonCobb et al. '20), and mortality (@beyoung40 et al. '08). FASCINATING! @assarish: Care to comment?

@forbes: @Adolfocuevas01 et al. find pervasive discrimination may cause people to age faster—and affect White people most | story: shorturl.at/tyPRT | study: shorturl.at/ltFK5 | #midlife

Using @UMich @umisr HRS data, we found that the health effects of #incarceration of young #Black men can be detected decades later when they are retiring: aimspress.com/article/doi/10…

Using @FFCWS data, we showed that incarceration of #Black men worsens mental health of Black boys 22 years later via increasing their risk of incarceration. Then we discuss how this is caused by structural and institutional #racism. Here is the paper: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

1/9 I wasn't gonna do this, but my name is involved. And I need y'all to put some respect on my name. This weekend @politico published our roundtable discussion about marriage. I don't like how people are framing the discussion. politico.com/news/magazine/…

Thrilled to see our article open access @SCID__journal . We show that democracy reduces lifespan inequalities disproportionately for men, via reductions in injuries and accidents. @CGUnews @CguIprc link.springer.com/article/10.100…
