Incredibly validating read… this has been such a problem for me in my large class this semester. The kids are cooked 😞.
“Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate…Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.”

Like many others, Angela, Kelci, and I were disappointed to learn that the NSF grant supporting Flourish was terminated last week. Flourish remains committed, now more than ever, to our mission of uplifting pre-tenure faculty of color in psychology. Learn more & spread the word about our community.

NSF is still freezing grant payments because of Trump's executive orders targeting DEI, despite NSF's congressional mandate to weigh how grants will expand participation in science.

What that means for scientists/science (with more detail than yesterday's radio story)

National Science Foundation freezes payments in response to Trump's executive actions
The National Science Foundation's funding freeze, and wider confusion about the status and future of science funding, is already hampering research.

So angry about this. UW system head and president agree to cut 43 DEI positions, freeze new ones for 3 years, end a program to recruit minority faculty -- even though lawmakers don't have the votes to mandate it.

Biggest profile in cowardice on this issue in the last 3 years.
There's only one rule for college presidents facing ideological control by the government: don't volunteer to be censored. Don't agree to something the legislature doesn't have the votes to mandate.

That's exactly what the Wisconsin system has done here. www.wpr.org/uw-vos-reach...

The 3 victims of the UNLV shooting were all faculty of color. Because the murderer didn’t get the job he wanted. Absolutely horrifying and heartbreaking. There’s so much I want to say about this but I’m also at a lost for words. Stay safe y’all.

I also co-run Flourish, a network and post-SPSP retreat for pre-tenure faculty of color in social/personality psychology, with Angela Bell and Kelci Harris.

Anyway, I finally made my way to the other place!

I feel like should give an intro- I’m a social psychologist generally studying gendered, racial stereotypes and related outcomes. I run the Intersectionality and Marginalization (I.AM) Lab at UW-Madison.
