I will never back down in speaking truth to power.
The apartheid government of Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians. Palestinians will not be erased. Solidarity with all those outside of these walls in the streets protesting and exercising their right to dissent.
Such an important topic! Pushback against "me-search" is why I waited until my dissertation to do Multiracial research (just published: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…)! Meanwhile, it became a "hot topic" for others who were coming from a place of "objectivity" (read: Whiteness)
This quoted post is unavailable.
In contrast, when the perpetrator is a racial minority, identity reassertion is less likely, individuals experience more "passive" feeling such as shame and are more likely to distance themselves from their denied identity.

These photos were taken minutes apart. At 5:20am, Lori Kletzer, the vice chancellor of UC Santa Cruz, walked by her students and faculty actively being brutalized and abused by the cops she called. She was laughing, enjoying the scene in front of her.

UC faculty: don't scab. Don't change assignments or sections to eliminate TA labor, do the work of or submit grades for striking TAs.
If you are a lecturer and are pressured to pick up work struck by grad students, contact your union immediately for advice and support.
UC-AFT members:
Pledge to refuse struck labor and learn more about how to be in solidarity with @uaw4811 here:

New colleague alert!!! 🥳 So excited for you to join the department!
Thrilled to share that I will be an Asst Prof at @Vassar starting in the fall! I will miss my colleagues at @PurchPsych dearly, but I’m excited about this next chapter, my spouse is excited about having room to garden in Hudson Valley, and my baby is just excited in general.

The fact that the largest social psychology society believes they have no role in "understanding and interpreting history" re: statements they make about Israel and Palestine is *so* problematic. Will definitely be covering this in my seminar as yet another failure of the field.

4 WoC FACULTY WERE PUSHED OUT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOULDER’S SCHOOL OF EDUCATION.
I recognize that our “silence will not protect us” (Lorde 1977)
Here is our response to hold the School to task:

The college is getting sued for wage discrimination. Today our students are wearing red in solidarity with women faculty and protesting outside the faculty meeting.
Shameful! I'm sure APA would do the same thing though 🙄 Using the most marginalized scholars in the field too as the deciding factor to cross a picket line is pathetic.

Ending legacy admissions is low-hanging fruit and only a first step, but necessary if we are serious about fulfilling our commitment "to working toward a more just, diverse, equitable, and inclusive college community where all members feel valued and are fully empowered".
