Which types of repression are more likely to elicit foreign sympathy and support for victims? @kgcunnin.bsky.social and I find that US respondents are more sympathetic and supportive of those facing religious and language rights violations, but that these effects are not felt uniformly by partisans.

We offer important implications for inclusive and non-stigmatizing health and risk messaging globally. As the Trump administration rolls back important public health messaging, research like this should propel advocacy and action. Inclusive health communication is a matter of life and death.

Where are the folks who’ve downloaded and saved now inaccessible CDC data and webpages? Has someone created a place to store these items? I’ve been downloading and storing as much as I can and would like to share with others in an efficient and easily accessible way #publichealth

No matter your paradigmatic perspective, community partnerships and public access to research need to become an ethical imperative in the field rather than a study design choice. Relying on federal funding and an objective view of health and health values will/has clearly not be/been sustainable.

As the Trump administration tanks public health communication and funding streams, I think health communication researchers are well positioned to resist & persist. A starting point may be considering where and how we share our research to promote sharing of clear and accessible health information.

I think I’m supposed to introduce myself since I’m new here 👋🏻

I’m an academic like everyone else and broadly study health communication, stigma, and inclusive communication pedagogy.

Don’t have high expectations for my feed — I’ll probably just repost smarter and more clever people than me.
