@brownerika.bsky.social and I challenge financial literacy’s claim of universality. Our paper also aims to advance a contextualized definition of financial literacy that recognizes the institutional and structural barriers that constrain financial decision making for racialized minority groups

We find that financial literacy was not universally protective. It was associated with reduced healthcare disengagement (ie health precarity) for white adults but was unrelated to Black adults health precarity. For Hispanic adults, financial literacy was associated with increased health precarity.

So happy this work with brilliant friend and colleague is finally published! We challenge the idea that financial competency is beneficial for all racial and ethnic groups. In this paper we look at healthcare disengagement due to cost concerns (eg not filling prescriptions due to cost concerns)

I’m conducting a study that explores the experiences of Black folks in nerd coded spaces, focusing on both the challenges and joys found within these communities. If you’re interested, please scan the QR code or email me at andrea-c-smith@uiowa.edu. I’d love to hear from you! 😄

I know there’s such thing as “wasted effort” but 💔 Even if it doesn’t not much good, I’m glad some people will have their apps considered with the F awards

Hi! I also submitted an R36 but haven’t received any email like that. Which sub agency did you submit to?

I submitted for an R36 dissertation award for aging related research last cycle and knew this would be the likely (and even best case) scenario for any of the NIH DEI related awards but hearing this is their official recommendation? Absolutely devastating.

For The Emancipator, I expanded on an argument I’ve been making on Bluesky. The so-called anti-DEI movement is segregationist, and we should state that plainly. theemancipator.org/2025/01/28/t...

Eliminating DEI isn't just racist — it's segregationist

New segregationists’ need to use euphemisms shows the weakness of their intellectual position and the Civil Rights Movement’s moral clarity.
