5 years since #MeToo went viral. In @politico I show that celebrity headlines did not distract lawmakers from the systemic problems contributing to harassment. All states need a range of reforms to stop gender-based violence and harassment at work.
Have we seen meaningful reform for working women in the 5 years since @Alyssa_Milano's viral tweet sparked the #MeToo movement? @ProfJamillahBW and @TippettLiz share compelling takeaways on the tangible impact #MeToo had on our legal system in @politico:

Hints at what’s stopping progress: principle-practice gap, zero sum thinking, loss aversion, colorblind conundrum.

#ASA2020 today - @j_mcox and I presented our mixed-methods research findings on how being “woke” too rarely leads to actions that will actually promote workplace equity.
#ASA2020 session on Racism and Antiracism this afternoon went well! It was great presenting with @ProfJamillahBW and alongside Chip Gallagher, @MaggieHagerman, and @cocarter2. And just like that, the work day is basically gone. 🤷🏾♂️🍹.
