Excited to connect with folks here! I’m a sociology professor at CUNY. I research racial inequality in the education and criminal-legal systems. I live in NYC with my economist husband and amazing daughter, but originally from the Philly burbs. I am a proud HBCU grad and member of ΔΣΘ.
I could survive without Sade.

For more on how being antivax generates profit by preying on the fears of parents read @catherinetan.bsky.social’s book “Spaces on the Spectrum” and two op Ed’s on the issue
“Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made over $20,000 per week as chairman of Children’s Health Defense before stepping away from the nonprofit in 2023 to run for president, new tax filings show.”
In case it hasn’t filtered through to everyone yet: Being antivax is a really lucrative business…
RFK Jr. was paid six figures by his vaccine-challenging group before presidential run
Children's Health Defense, a nonprofit that has challenged vaccines, doubled Kennedy's pay rate for a shorter tenure.

So excited to see my research on White women’s involvement with the business if American slavery in the New York Times! www.nytimes.com/2024/11/22/u...
White Women Were Active in the American Slave Trade, Statistical Research Shows
For generations, scholars argued that white women were rarely involved in the active buying and selling of Black people. A growing body of research says otherwise.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky
