We each find our way through these times As an academic, I am doing this: Uplift those whose research you admire. Diversify the academy. Many ways to do this: -Nominate for awards (did 2 yesterday) -If you are in an academy, nominate to it (did 3 this month) -cite them in a paper and/or talk

Very smart, high ROI initiative from the Spencer Foundation. Providing bridge funding for canceled NSF grants: 1) directs funds to projects already screened by a top-noch review process. 2) avoids imposing proposal prep costs on researchers. 3) ameliorates the disruption from GOP sabotage.

So excited to share new work with @emileigharrison.bsky.social about the presence and portrayal of topics, values, and identities in U.S. textbooks! What we teach in our curricula is more similar across our country than political narratives might have us believe. tinyurl.com/miiebooks miielab.com

Curricula impart knowledge, instill values, and shape collective memory. Despite growing public funding for religious schools through U.S. school choice programs, little is known about what they teach...

Despite narratives of polarization, Texas and California public school books have similar curricula. Key differences and similarities emerge in religious schoolbooks, from @aadukia.bsky.social and Emileigh Harrison https://www.nber.org/papers/w33791

Excited to share this new paper on how race was constructed along socioeconomic lines in US history, during a period of unfulfilled potential for social change between emancipation and Jim Crow segregation

Super cool to see a paper like this as an NBER working paper. I haven't tracked it systematically, but I think there's a lot more of this style of work on race and racism in econ now than when I started paying attention to the field in the 2000s. www.nber.org/papers/w33502

"In contrast to this literature that explores differences in socioeconomic status by skin tone categories, controlling for race, our analysis shows that race is an outcome – influenced by socioeconomic status among people with the same detailed physical skin tone."

I'm sure very few people know about this. Inmates in 43 states are charged a per diem cost for "room and board" ranging between $40 to hundreds of dollars. In some states you owe for every day of your original sentence EVEN IF YOU GET OUT EARLY. www.welcometohellworld.com/there-is-no-...

In some cases this can add up to tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees, as it did for a woman named Shelby Hoffman. Originally sentenced to seven years, she served only ten months before being released. A couple years later while applying for a job and jumping through the typical hoops that a formerly incarcerated person has to do as a matter of course, she found out she still owed $127,750. "I felt so tricked and so fooled," Hoffman said. "There is no ladder with them. There is nothing that you can do. Apparently. That will ever truly allow you to be a second chance anything. There isn’t. And they make sure of it.” Obviously this is not really about reimbursing the state for your stay in Hotel Hell, it's also, as so many things in this country are, about creating and entrapping people in a permanent underclass from which there is little hope of escape. Saddling people, and yes usually a certain kind of people, who have served their time, with crippling debt so that they'll be forced into accepting worse working conditions forever. Or end up back in prison again where the state can further profit off of their bodies. As an added bonus, those that cannot pay the fees have also not technically completed the terms of their sentence and therefore cannot have their voting rights restored.

This Pennsylvania county stopped charging people 'lodging fees' for the time they spent in jail. Then commissioners voted to forgive over $65 million in these fees. “What a light of hope this has been,” said one woman whose son owed $17,000. boltsmag.org/jail-de...
