Why did I write #SeeingOthers? Why it Matters? [recorded in Japan, jet-lagged]
Harvard University professor and sociologist @mlamont6 was inspired to write her book SEEING OTHERS during the Trump presidency when she felt hopeless. She decided to research how people find hope; here's what she found. https://t.co/J6pjSyV1Zy

My research brief with @JoanieMazelis was reprinted in Fortune Magazine! We talk about our research with Kenneshia Williams, finding that student loan debt is associated with worse health, mental health and delayed health care use.

Students with debt also reported more major medical problems and were likelier to report delaying medical, dental and mental health care to save money.

Racial discrimination and residential segregation have made summers hotter and more dangerous for Black Americans. Please read this powerful essay on the politics of swimming pools and social infrastructure by @MaraGay @nytopinion

The biggest reason so many Americans can’t swim is that they have too few places to learn how.

“Women earn more than 50% of PhD’s, but receive only 39% of postdoc fellowships & 18% of professorships.[..] The more decorated a male scientist is, the fewer women he trains, and universities hire their junior faculty members from these elite men’s labs.” https://t.co/ltyyZ2fEIx

More than one-third of New College of Florida faculty will not be returning in the fall — a "ridiculously high" number in a single year. The school made national headlines after Ron DeSantis appointed six trustees with a mission to transform it.

Many frustrated teachers and researchers have resigned or taken leaves to look for other jobs, school officials say.

I spoke to the brilliant @saigrundy about the role of race and racial narratives in college essays and the narrative constraints the Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action multiplies for Black students in the college admissions process.

The supreme court’s ruling ending race-conscious admissions shifts the burden of ‘proving’ racism to the college essay

The idea that men hunt while women stay at home is at the root of many gendered assumptions about the way societies operate, but a review of the data shows this is wrong.
newscientist.com
An analysis of foraging societies from around the world has found that women hunt in the vast majority of those looked at, confirming that the idea of gender division in providing food is a myth

The SCOTUS ruling to strike down race-based admissions at Harvard and U.N.C. is NOT a win for #AsianAmericans Asian Americans have been used as a pawn and a wedge in a fight against #affirmativeaction White students will benefit most from this decision. https://t.co/V1m8wFJkON

Since the Supreme Court is in the spirit of reversing time through policy, taking us back and backwards, can't help but think of this old cartoon today. Money talks and privilege walks. In the case of admissions, it saunters into dorms. This court just made it even easier.

Dear God but I hate it when faculty who teach at colleges with a gazillion dollar endowment lecture me about "leveraging resources." Special shout out to the folks out here making magical stuff happen with seeds, stems, paper clips, half a bottle of sprite, and deep love.

It's because people are having fewer kids in an America that refuses to meaningfully support parents.
An interesting article about why, on average, America is getting older. It is NOT because we are living longer. With some of my thoughts quoted... https://t.co/YMtlqmFNYa
