💰Economic inequality is on the rise, and children will bear its burden. Yet children’s perspectives are rarely considered. We urgently need research to understand economic inequality from children's perspectives. (1/4) rdcu.be/e3Qlb

Have you noticed how we often describe people from disadvantaged backgrounds as “strivers” or “go-getters” (💪🏼) rather than naturally gifted (🧠)? This may sound benign, but our new KiDLAB research shows that it reveals a harmful, early-emerging stereotype. (1/5)

😍KiDLAB at #ECDP2025 (eadp.bsky.social)! Hannah presented her work on entitlement. Eddie presented an overview of the lab’s ongoing work on how inequality becomes ingrained in children’s self-views. We met with many friends (on bsky: @lauraktaylorphd.bsky.social & @jelliesierksma.bsky.social).

👽 “Everyone is welcome — yes, even aliens” 🦺 “No more dull, dusty white lab coats!” 🍕 “Beanbags everywhere, and pizza in the cafeteria” What does the university of the future look like? On behalf of KiDLAB and Lil’Scientist, we asked children this question at the lustrum of The Young Academy.
