Excited to share our new paper! We call for the field to adopt a more inclusive understanding of rigor. One that values diverse epistemological lenses and research designs @allisonzengilowski.bsky.social (and the rest of the team is not on blue sky) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Screen shot of a manuscript front page. Article is titled “Combating scientific racism in psychological science and educational psychology: Interrogating notions of rigor”

In honor of James Baldwin’s birthday today I’ll share a quote from Talk to Teachers (1963) “The paradox of education is precisely this—that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated”

Surround yourself with people who support you, challenge you, and remind you to be kind to yourself. Show up for them too! Engage in mutual support - it’s a great feeling.

New paper on colorism led by Katherine and Lily just dropped! We found that even when controlling for race related discrimination, colorism perpetuated by society was positively associated w/ somatic sx, and that colorism perpetuated by society and family was positive assoc w/ hypervigilance.

“Drake has initiated legal action against Universal Music Group and Spotify over allegations that the two companies conspired to artificially inflate the popularity of Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us.’” www.billboard.com/pro/drake-um...
Drake has initiated legal action against Universal Music Group and Spotify over allegations that the two companies conspired to artificially inflate the popularity of Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.”
In a filing Monday (Nov. 25) in Manhattan court, Drake’s Frozen Moments LLC accused UMG of launching an illegal “scheme” involving bots, payola and other methods to pump up Lamar’s song — a track that savagely attacked Drake amid an ongoing feud between the two stars.Drake’s attorneys accuse UMG of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, the federal “RICO” statute often used in criminal cases against organized crime. They also allege deceptive business practices and false advertising under New York state law.

The court filings are a remarkable twist in the high-profile beef between the two stars, which saw Drake and Kendrick exchange stinging diss tracks over a period of months earlier this year. That such a dispute would spill into business litigation seemed almost unthinkable in the world of hip-hop.
