These equivalence requirements & associated costs are ridiculous, and put extra burdens on young scholars.

Great to see our scoping review from the ERC-funded TARGET project published! The field has mainly looked at the drivers of discrimination attributions in isolation, and with little attention to between-respondent heterogeneity. We call for multi-dimensional designs and multi-actor comparisons.
