This was a great talk and is really interesting work. So glad I got to catch it!

As a researcher who studies leadership (among other topics), it was really neat for me to engage with this dynamic group of women CEOs, directors, and partners of companies. I especially appreciated our thoughtful conversations around topics such as self-presentation! (2/2)

Neat, thanks for sharing! 😊

So yes, cast your ballot, and then--if you can--try to pull yourself away from the election doom-scrolling, it's going to be a minute before we get complete results. Call it doctor's orders if you'd like. ☺️ (3/3)

I'll be working with three terrific undergraduate researchers on a project related to intergroup conversations, and you can learn more about us and our work here: awiezel.wixsite.com/wiezelborglab (2/2)

I recall, like others, becoming quickly inspired by his passion for research, before applying to be one of his first undergraduate RAs in what also became my first-ever lab experience. (2/4)

As a bonus, she suggested a variety of models for thinking about public engagement in research during her Q&A. (4/4)

And work in a variety of real-world cross-national contexts and conflicts (e.g., Hungary, Rwanda, South Africa, and Kosovo) suggest the kinds of situations to which the positive effects of intergroup contact can extend (including outside the lab). (3/4) #SPSSICon2024

Work like hers suggests we are capable of using real-world situations to test/advance theory *and* practice. For example, work finding that majority groups have more positive outcomes from intergroup contact than minority groups implies that group status is a moderator. (2/4)
