Asian people and Black people can both face dehumanization in the US, but the type differs: Asian = machine, Black = animal

Gaza is now a different color from space.
The war in Gaza has left a staggering almost 23 millions tonnes of rubble and unexploded weapons scattered across the enclave, UN humanitarians said on Friday, meaning it will “take years” before it is made safe again

Beyond thrilled to share my newly accepted article at the journal Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy! This is co-(first) authored with my brilliant friend Nicholas Alt at Occidental College. As two Asian American scholars, we were concerned about affirmative action so we ran some studies!!!

Here are some thoughts on the "islamophobic poster" at the recent @spspnews.bsky.social @spspsc.bsky.social conference. I highlight that this poster incident is a marker of systemic racialization of Muslims

Please, read and forward to those who are thinking about what can be done.

I'm not seeing much mention of this in the bsky SPSP feed so amplifying this for those unaware of what's happening. Hopefully more concrete news from @spspnews.bsky.social in the near future.

This week at SPSP a poster spread flagrantly Islamophobic ideas under the guise of free scientific inquiry. It was offensive, more ideological (hateful) than scientific, and beyond the bounds. To think that just a year ago we were in a full fledged debate about the merit of diversity statements.

I want to note how disappointing it is that SPSP conference continues to fall behind the pace of progress that much of our scholars and research makes in terms of DEI. Lots of fumbling re: islamophobic poster, ombudsman, and prioritizing white comfort overall. It makes for a bittersweet experience.
My first two grad students, Gretchen and Marcus, presented at SPSP this year! Proud advisor moment!!

I am sad, angry, and frustrated by the Islamaphobic poster that made it through the poster review process. A moment of celebration and a sense of belonging was quickly snatched away by this reminder of how academia perpetuates inequities.

Social psych peeps - I made a feed to track all the SPSP posts.

Follow it at bsky.app/profile/did:...

One warning - it also captures some cat posts with pspspsps or other variations. But, frankly, I think that's exactly what the field deserves for all the ridiculous S and P acronyms.

Social psychology friends: I am updating my list of journals that accept qualitative research in our field - my usual go tos are EJSP, BJSP, Political Psychology, ASAP, Peace and Conflict, JCASP. Am I missing any? Have any journals changed their policies in this regard over the last years? Thanks!
