Excited to share our new paper!

We call for the field to adopt a more inclusive understanding of rigor. One that values diverse epistemological lenses and research designs

In honor of James Baldwin’s birthday today I’ll share a quote from Talk to Teachers (1963)

“The paradox of education is precisely this—that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated”

I would love to hear a sociologists/psychologists perspective on Love Island - specifically last nights episode.

There should be a whole lecture on gender performance, friendship, and how colorism and culture impact people’s perceptions of others emoting
