We hope many colleagues will join us—not only to support emerging researchers, but also to contribute to building a more inclusive academic community for all its members, especially those from groups that remain underrepresented in academia.

Can AI-generated images work as visual vignettes in survey experiments? I argue yes - and discuss how . in my new @sscratsage.bsky.social paper: doi.org/10.1177/0894...
Two AI generated images showing 1) a boy walking through a disorderly neighbourhood with graffiti and trash and 2) a boy walking through a very similar but cleaned up neighbourhood without trash ad graffiti.

Every academic career is built on rejection, but we don’t show it. 
CVs list publications, grants & awards, not rejected manuscripts, unfunded proposals, or failures. 
But those invisible rejections shape us more than our successes ever do. 👉 catherineeunicedevries.substack.com/p/fail-bette... 🧵

Radical-right parties are often linked to the “left-behind”. But supporting them when stigma is strong is costly. So who is willing to pay that cost early on, before it’s normalized? In my new WP, I argue that breaking political norms is socially stratified. 🧵👇
