Fellow professors, does anyone have any good readings or resources for undergrads on learning to learn? I would like to assign something at the beginning of the semester to help students think about and expand the strategies they use for learning.

There is still time to apply! UNC's Diversifying Psychology Weekend is accepting applications!

Happy to share that I am *officially* finished with my dissertation, as my research on children's responses to eudaimonic entertainment was recently published in MediaPsychMEP 🧵 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Check out the feedback that I received from profs/students about my guest lectures/talks on Black Queer folks and Reproductive Justice, and art-based research and Black Queer Health (2023-2024) I would love to collab AND I am open to come talk! HMU! #blackfeminism #healthcomm 🚀

“They’re calling it prison abolition, folks. Prishon… prison ab-o-lition. You know about prison abolition? [crowd roars] That’s right. I’ve been reading Angela Davis. An-gee-la. Davis. And I love her! Don’t we love Angela Davis! [Crowd cheers even louder]. That’s right!”

Although I’m no longer in academia, I’ll be missing #ICA24 and the wonderful members of Comm Sci Don’t miss their panels and get to know the folks in the interest group. They are supportive, knowledgeable, and fun people 💗 Be sure to mask up and test for Covid yall!

In our publications, who do we work with, who do we cite, how do authors' race, gender, and affiliation impact the way we advance our scholarship? Haley R.

Sonya Massey should be alive. The police are foundationally anti-black. You don't have to share the video to say any of that. There is no more need for video evidence. The problem is not a lack of evidence. The problem is that no amount of evidence can rupture anti-blackness.

I am accepting applications for 1 or 2 PhD students to start in Fall 2025 in #ClinicalPsychology or #HealthPsychology at Oregon State University. My lab studies #ableism and the ways #disabled people resist it. Students with disabilities and other minorities are encouraged to apply! 1/2

There are lots of questions, frustration, judgement, and name calling going around about masking so I just wanted to share some things I’ve learned as a person who’s been masking since April of 2020 🧵 And of course, if this doesn’t appeal to you, feel free to scroll on by 🍃
