Great piece by @marycmurphy.bsky.social on what stereotype threat is (contextual concerns that one will be labeled and judged negatively due to social identities) and isn't (dead). marycmurphy.substack.com/p/the-report...

The Report of Stereotype Threat's Demise Has Been Greatly Exaggerated
And why I'm feeling a certain way about it

I was honored by the @psychscience.bsky.social DEI Committee's invitation to help curate this collection of outstanding articles addressing a range of issues related to anti-Black racism. I also couldn't have asked for a more thoughtful and thorough partner in @johnjost.bsky.social. Please share!

Beautiful story on the lives and legacies of Black Panther Cubs: www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

What happens when the US declares war on your parents? The Black Panther cubs know
The Black Panthers shook America awake before the party was eviscerated by the US government. Their children paid a steep price, but also emerged with unassailable pride and burning lessons for today

Structural barriers to unionization are manifold, but what about psychological barriers? Orgs foster identification & commitment among workers, which inhibit interest in unionizing. Exposure to org conflicts & union info reduces workers' perceived alignment with orgs & improves pro-union attitudes.

There are many layers here, but I want to comment on one aspect of these findings for now--the editorial board representation. Some will see this and immediately think: we need to get more POC on our boards! I understand that impulse, but encourage you to think a few steps down the game tree 1/n.

I set one big goal for myself in my Jeopardy game tonight: get some questions wrong. I felt I played my original game a bit safe, only buzzing when I was 100% sure. Coming back for the second chance competition, I knew I needed to go for more questions, and to shake off the inevitable misses.

This is led by Brittany Torrez as part of her incredible dissertation and with LaStarr Hollie and @jaricheson.bsky.social It extends our work on #racialprogress beliefs to organizational diversity efforts. In particular, it asks what these misperceptions mean for future plans?
