This project has been an incredible experience for all of us. The data collection is almost finished, so hopefully you’ll start seeing results from this amazing team effort in 2026.
Big thanks to the organising team @jeremykuhnle.bsky.social, Stephanie Steinmetz and Vasilena Lachkovska!
After so many months of fieldwork, it was great to present findings from our @equalstrength.bsky.social's project at the LIVES centre in beautiful Lausanne! Stay tuned for more in the coming months!
After seemingly endless meetings online, meeting in-person is so unbelievably valuable 🤩

Get ready for lots of research from Team Science coming your way 🤝

@distasioval.bsky.social already gave a keynote summarising the state of the art... and there is still so much more to come 👏

@equalstrength.bsky.social team presenting at IMISCOE in Paris. @jeremykuhnle.bsky.social and @danielcapistrano.com show sizeable variation in the recognition of ethnic minority names, depending on both context and respondent demographics, confirming careful pre-testing is crucial in experiments.

Happy to present the first results from our @equalstrength.bsky.social project! Lots to do, still, but we have a fantastic team!
Your name. Your background. Still deciding if your child gets a spot in daycare.

Today at dept Seminar Series , @distasioval.bsky.social & Lea pessin shared sobering evidence of discrimination across Europe. Research like this reminds us: biases don’t pause at the nursery door.
