My terrific grad student @imartinezechague.bsky.social just published a fascinating paper in @sfjournal.bsky.social on how equality itself requires work in households - work which often falls to women. It’s worth a read!
Happy to share my new publication in @sfjournal.bsky.social!📣
Why is household equality so hard? Unequal scripts mean that equality takes work—often falling to women, even when men say they want it.
Paradoxically, for women, doing less still means more work.

This is shameful. The UNC Board of Trustees fails to vote on all tenure cases in Arts & Sciences, holding faculty in limbo without any explanation or timeline. This affects both assistant profs up for tenure and new tenured hires.

At Chapel Hill, Only Health-Sciences Professors Have Been Getting Tenure
The UNC Chapel Hill board hasn’t tenured a single professor in fields outside the health sciences since January. The inaction has prompted confusion and alarm among faculty.
