This one was a journey. Jobs changed, roles changed, zip codes changed, babies were born, but the meta-analysis kept going. Grateful to the brilliant team (most not on X). who made it happen. @StewartColes @RCGD_ISR @ucsantabarbara @CommUcsb @mediamosaiclab
@niba_saleem and colleagues’ meta-analysis reveals that negative media depictions of ethnic minorities lead to unfavorable evaluations of these groups, while positive portrayals produce the opposite effect.

As a researcher of inequality, I've been faced with the conundrum of how to talk about the harms of inequality but in a way that isn't only deficit focused, which can perpetuate the stigma that inequality creates. I'm grateful to have these suggestions by @ChristinaBauerA!
news! 🚨👀Social inequality research can sometimes inadvertently stigmatise disadvantaged groups as weak, lacking in agency, motivation, or skills. In our new review, we highlight how we can come to a more accurate and non-stigmatizing study of inequality. https://t.co/94xnCzHHTA

Thank you to our speakers and staff who made our fall @RCGD_ISR speaker series a success! Each of the talks answered the questions of what makes systemic racism systemic, and how structural elements of race can be represented in our discipline.
