I study the survival and deaths of the good workplace EEO/DEI programs (mentorship, apprenticeship, targeted job recruitment work).
Targeted recruitment is one of thr best, evidence-based ways to diversify your ranks.
"The list names an Army officer who traveled to 14 historically Black colleges to expand recruitment"

Since these people are literally using "woke" to mean "entertained the thought of hiring a Black person," opposition to DEI, affirmative action, etc. should be understood as support for segregation
Lists of military leaders to be targeted because they support increasing diversity in the military. This is very serious. @apnews.com @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com and other outlets please don’t take up the description of these ofcrs as “woke.”

I'm starting to rethink my life choice of studying workplace HR and EEO and diversity management. The new anti-wokism wave is very much upon us while I’m on the job market. Lol

Any fans of “Yes, Minister” here? We’re about to have x2 versions of the “Ministry for Administrative Affairs”: both OPM and Musk.

#Israel: It’s coming down to calendars now. If you have a friend that is ready to retaliate, you basically FILL THEIR CALENDAR with constant VIP foreign ministry visits. The bid is to keep them from seeking vengeance, each day.

Great civil war research! At first glance it looks like state sponsorship encourages armed groups to fight, but @rubinmichael.bsky.social and Iris Malone show that state sponsorship explains little when you control for group and country indicators. polisky, policysky, 🗺, #IntSec

#Industry studies: I think when people have written on DEI as “industry” it’s usually some kind of negative screed. But other social-focused industries also get some more positive (or at least more balanced) takes. I’m thinking environmental consultants etc.

#Typesetting Paper Previews. I think there is an app that lets you see how your draft paper would look in journal article format. Does anyone recall the name? My googling and prior bookmarks are failing me!

I have a dream: a world in which engineering/tech students all learn basic social science, social scientists all learn basic thermodynamics, & both spend at least two semesters learning ecology. Might place us to at least start on adequate solutions to urgent global challenges.

Ouch! This smarts.

#Israel Ex-diplomat for the USA here [if the norms of intro carry over]. I think POTUS is being ripped apart unfairly for “supporting genocide.” Incorrect. #Biden is hugging Israel close because that’s how you have any shred of a chance to influence the Israeli response to #Hamas.

I’m here for all the #dad research content!
When men can work flexibly, they do more childcare, & this increases women's earnings.

2 new papers show gender divisions of labour dont reflect inherent preferences, but can change with tech!

Different meanings of "merit": What do elites actually mean when they justify their status with merit? Drawing on interviews in DK and the UK, @samfriedman.bsky.social et al. distinguish UK Talent Meritocrats from Danish Hard Work Meritocrats. This is right down my alley!
