White Americans prefer “celebratory” Black history - uplifting stories about famous Black Americans. But when randomly assigned to a critical Black history lesson, a “celebratory” Black history lesson, or a control condition, it’s CRITICAL history lessons that increase perspective-taking. 2/3

Congratulations!

This sounds like an incredible opportunity for a person interested in pursuing graduate-level work down the road!

If I could travel back and time and do it all over again…this would be it!

Just tried the Microsoft similarity checker on a manuscript draft I’m working on.

When I saw it found two passages, I got nervous! Then it showed me them: article titles from the reference section. Phew.

But what about the 40+ other articles?

I just joined the feed for #PrejudiceResesrch ! Looking forward to learning more.

Thank you for demystifying the SPSP symposium acceptance criteria!

I think it’s notable that some of the first real limits on the use of generative AI were brought to us by labor. Not Congress. Not “ethical” AI shops nestled inside big tech companies. A union.

I think the most heartbreaking piece of this is that the math they are eliminating is required to major and professional succeed in STEM fields. You don’t fix pipeline issues but just removing the pipe!

And as a parent I know this: those with resources will get additional instruction. Private schools will continue to offer higher level math coursework.

And as a parent I can assure you, the parents who can afford additional instruction will ensure their kids get that instruction. Private school will not stop teaching upper level math.

California’s Math Misadventure Is About to Go National The fight over math in the Golden State’s public schools is likely to spread across the country.
