@tage_rai Ha, I am glad I could do my part!

What happened when public universities in 🇨🇦 started publicizing faculty salaries? ... ... ... The salary gap between men and women declined by 20-40% as a direct result.

We social psychologists once thought a super ordinate threat would be enough to make people overlook usual intergroup differences to band together to fight it. We failed to factor in the enormous power of denial.

Now back to the other, much better place that is not X/Twitter.

You would be joining a great team with @BiedronHenry and @CelineTsoi!

... how our friendships with diverse others shape awareness of, and opposition to, social injustice. If that is you, please consider applying to work with us (but make sure to read the information on our website before you do)! sisc.psych.ucsb.edu/posts/recruiti…

I am looking for someone interested in intergroup relations, contact, and cross-group friendship—in how we form and maintain friendships across social divides, why we often end up with friends similar to us, and ...

🎉🎉🎉 It's a momentous day—the day the world has been waiting for! I refer, of course, to the publication of the second edition of THE CRAFT OF SCIENCE WRITING from The Open Notebook! press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book…

Germany's new "Resolution against Antisemitism" is a self-serving joke: full of contradictions, abusing Holocaust memory to legitimize repression, racism, xenophobia, geopolitical interests, undermine Jewish pluralism & harm Jews it claims to serve. spiegel.de/politik/deutsc… 🧵(1/)

Israel just banned @UNRWA, the UN Palestinian refugee agency, from operating in the West Bank and Gaza. In the midst of a debilitating famine. This is a broader attack on the UN and multilateral legal institutions. 🧵 bbc.com/news/articles/… #Gaza #Genocide #Nakba

The vote by the Israeli Parliament (Knesset) against @UNRWA this evening is unprecedented and sets a dangerous precedent. It opposes the UN Charter and violates the State of Israel’s obligations under international law.  This is the latest in the ongoing campaign to discredit UNRWA and delegitimize its role towards providing human-development assistance and services to #Palestine Refugees. These bills will only deepen the suffering of Palestinians, especially in #Gaza where people have been going through more than a year of sheer hell. It ⁠will deprive over 650,000 girls & boys there from education, putting at risk an entire generation of children. These bills increase the suffering of the Palestinians & are nothing less than collective punishment. Putting an end to UNRWA & its services will not strip the Palestinians from their refugee status. That status is protected by another UN General Assembly resolution until a fair and lasting solution is found to the plight of the Palestinians. Failing to push back these bills will weaken our common multilateral mechanism established after World War 2. This should be a concern to all.

The @FT has called for an arms embargo; the @nytimes has not.

Whew! We’ve been working on this for YEARS. Grateful to Ignazio for his persistence, Nandita for coming in & injecting new energy, & thoughtful reviewers & editor at JDM. We add new measures of economic standing btwn countries & geopolitical correlates of the misperceptions.

We have our first academic publication by @SocChangeLab! Our research on the radical flank effect of Just Stop Oil was published today in Nature Sustainability: nature.com/articles/s4189…

It is morally wrong to use AI detectors when they produce false positives that smear students in ways that hurt them and where they can never prove their innocence. Do not use them. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

For anyone who is interested in the psychology of social injustice and social change, doing a Ph.D. with @SiwarAslih would be an exceptional opportunity!

I will be recruiting a PhD student for Fall 2025 in social psychology at UCSC. Please share with students interested in intergroup relations, collective action, emotions, and oppression. siwaraslih.com
