Co-signing here and I wish just *one* of these articles would point out the history of authoritarian regimes attacking sociology specifically because it makes authoritarians uncomfortable.

Sociology is amazing. Our biggest problem is bad-faith actors who maliciously spurn the field because we teach people how societies work and they'd rather we all stay in the dark. Not today, Satan!

Federal agencies that terminated more than a thousand research grants at the University of California admitted that they used keywords related to diversity to screen for projects. It’s an admission that lawyers for the researchers say is proof the agencies illegally cancelled nearly $2b in grants.

DEI keyword search led to billions in cancelled California university grants

The Trump administration cancelled $2 billion of research grants to UC professors. Their legal team says it has proof that was unconstitutional.

Three years ago today we announced the decision II. It included breaking news from Shams Charania (PhD) and a video reveal. It was a different time on the internet!

New publication alert! After four years of analysis, synthesis, and careful writing, I am pleased to announce a brand-new article, “Desistance”: A Multimethod Review of the Literature on Gender Identity Variability in Transgender and Gender Diverse Youth (1) 🧵 psycnet.apa.org/record/2027-...

So trans kids just "grow out of it"? Our work,highlighted here by Society Workshop, suggests that the previous claims about desistance that have been normalized for years are incredibly unreliable

Do youth just "grow out of" their gender identities? The answer to this question has historically been based on a small number of data points in a handful of studies. A recent meta-analysis has called that evidence too preliminary. Here is a video summary of that research.

As part of Society Workshop, we've been summarizing key insights from social science research for the public. Here is one we completed a few months ago on youth gender diversity, the importance of rigorous evidence in policy, and its implications for gender-affirming care.

I was on kcbs radio this morning for ask an expert to talk about how the American dream has changed over time, why people might not have as much faith in it, why belief in it endures among the public and immigrants, and how psychology is involved www.audacy.com/podcasts/d3f...

What does achieving the American Dream look like?

Most Americans today believe the American Dream is out of reach. On this edition of Ask An Expert, KCBS Radio Anchor Steve Scott spoke with Northwestern University Professor Michael Kraus.

The Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of their land 100 years ago. They sued, got the land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning and build 6,000 new homes over the loud objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs. Now other tribes are getting in the game.
