For anyone wanting to teach, research, or talk about different racial groups and is wondering which terms to use, check out my practice brief, hot off the press! Thank you @SDPInstitute and @Hallmark2032 for your support and dedication

My first master's student successfully defended his thesis! As a junior faculty member I have served on five thesis committees, but this is the first one I've chaired. Ben has learned so much about the literature, theory, data collection, analysis, & implications. I'm so proud!!

If you are interested in the methods: We detail multiple ways of quantifying who "counts" as Afro-Latiné & who makes up the reference group We show how existing data can be used to better understand & serve understudied populations

Latest pub!! @IsharaCC & I find Afro-Latiné students at PWIs report low sense of belonging & campus climate - rates similar to NH Black students & lower than non-Black Latiné students We must address anti-Blackness, disaggregate Latinés to avoid erasure dx.doi.org/10.1037/dhe000…

@Briana_N_Spivey Go Briana!!!!! 🙌🏽🎉

I sent off my dissertation to my committee today y’all and I truly couldn’t be more proud of myself ! Dissertation defense loading…

BREAKING: The Towson University Student Government Association passed a resolution for the TU Foundation to divest from companies funding the killing of "civilians involved in the Israel-Palestine conflict."

@PhdAmaka Congratulations!!!! Thank you for sharing so we can celebrate wins 👏🏽 🎉

Students in my Colorism & Hairism class reflect on our time together ❤️ What are 3 ways you have grown this semester? 🌿

@AliWatts13 Thank you Ali!! 😊

What a way to end the semester 🙌🏼🎉 @UGAFranklin is the biggest college at UGA - it includes Biological Sciences, Fine Arts, Humanities, Physical and Mathematical Sciences, and Social Sciences. This award is a big deal! S/O to @SociologyUga for nominating me

This is unprecedented. Brown University strikes a deal with its students to end their peaceful protest & encampment, in exchange for a formal divestment vote from Israeli interests. And no student will be punished for protesting. This is democracy at work. thehill.com/homenews/educa…

And students got to meet and network with a @UGATerry MBA graduate who has nearly a decade of experience managing large-scale budgets and working with ESPN, HGTV, Food Network, and more 🔥

So lucky to have Myrlande Demosthene, CEO of @heartofmoisture, visit my Colorism & Hairism class! She talked to students about Black hair care needs, access to products, and how to best address their concerns on campus ❤️

Our own Dr. Vanessa Gonlin was a panelist at the International Women's Forum, attended by over 150 influential women in positions to shift organizational policies, hiring and promotion practices, and equitable pay to eradicate colorism. #IWFDetroit2023 #sociology #ugasociology

New pub! 🎉 For people w/mixed-race ancestry, discrimination is strongly associated w/linked fate w/one's own minoritized group + all racialized minorities Plus, believing a group is discriminated against usually increases linked fate with said group tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

@plouie01 Thanks Pat 😊
