Some news: yesterday I learned that, by faculty vote, my bid for tenure/promotion was not approved.
I feel many things, but not shame or regret. I am so proud of our work during our time at yale, and angry that this version of that work will come to an end, this end.

I did the dissertation I did because when I was lamenting the murder of Michael Brown, a White friend used implicit bias as an explanation, essentially mitigating Darren Wilson's responsibility for the murder. Anyway, I guess all the more reason I need to keep doing my work.
Honestly, I’ll never forgive social psychology for pushing implicit bias training as a method for reducing racism. Not sorry bout it either 🤷🏽♂️

I don't think people understand how scary the pieces about black maternal mortality have been for those of us who may give birth in this country. Thank you for having a PLAN.
Black moms in our country are dying from childbirth-related causes 3-4 times more often than white moms. Any meaningful solution to our maternal mortality crisis must address structural racism as a root cause of this problem. My new idea would tackle this crisis head on.

How many Psychiatrists have actually screened patients for traumatic experiences secondary to racism? How many Psychiatrists even recognize that experiencing racism can be traumatizing?

This was both hilarious & utterly wild. I remember learning about all these private schools I'd never heard of. Learning that my peers prepped for the SAT for years and had written senior theses in high school. Meanwhile, my AP classes has us write 5 paragraph essays...
"Less than 2 percent of the nation’s students attend so-called independent schools. But 24 percent of Yale’s class of 2024 attended an independent school"
Before you get mad, remember the numbers are confounded.
