Difficult people in your life might make you age faster, study suggests New research suggests that difficult people, a.k.a. “hasslers,” contribute to chronic stress and elevate epigenetic biomarkers associated with aging.

I am glad to see this article in print! Here, we build a bridge between institutional theory and the theory of racialized organizations to draw attention to how social interactions provide a dynamic view of racialization in and by organizations. Check it out: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

UPDATE: The Indiana legislature announced that, across the state's public universities, it will immediately eliminate 75 programs, suspend/teach-out 101, and force 232 to consolidate or be eliminated. Not surprisingly, these closures disproportionately affect arts, humanities, and social science.

We started our Ph.D.s during COVID-19. Now, we’re graduating into political chaos “It is difficult to absorb all the uncertainty and still hold on to hope,” this Ph.D. student writes

I keep thinking about this, mostly because my version would look very different. Something brutal & gutting, not ending on hope but a call to action.

Support & protect your PhD students. Advocate within your institutions. Let go of the status quo. It's already dead.

Ohio State cutting DEI programs shows a breathtaking fear of the truth | Opinion Pretending racism does not exist will not stop Donald Trump's attack on higher education.

I get that we're messaging to whatever moveable conservatives are left out there and trying to outrun the targets on all of our backs. I really do. But I refuse to forget why this work matters. And I refuse to throw students of color under the bus. My op-ed in @dispatch.com:

2020-21: structural racism
2021-23: CRT
2023-now: DEI

Fascinating to get a bird's eye view. And useful to remember that the shift to CRT, not as legal theory but catch-all boogeyman, was a deliberate, calculated effort.

On affirmative action, Asian Americans got played (opinion) Let’s not get played again, OiYan Poon and Janelle Wong write.

Good discussion by @oiyanpoon.bsky.social & @janellewong.bsky.social about the racist ploy to use Asian American students & families to threaten colleges over admissions, diversity, & who is framed as ‘deserving’ of attending highly rejective institutions. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...
