@russelltim151 Thank you for sharing our article!

[NeerajRajasekar @NeerajRajasekar]

These gaps do differ by participant race and political attitudes, but those differences are fairly small. Overall, these gaps are fairly prevalent among Americans who vary by race, politics, and several other individual-level factors.

Thanks for reading!

New paper from myself , @EvanStewart23 and @hartm021 coming out in @DuBoisReview

"Principle-Policy Gaps and Principle-Personal Gaps in Americans' Diversity Attitudes"

https://t.co/bSTvTYB1nt

[NeerajRajasekar @NeerajRajasekar]

We find that while Americans are generally favorable towards the principle of diversity, they have substantially lower support for relevant policy and substantially lower feelings of closeness with people from diverse backgrounds

[The Society Pages @TheSocietyPages]

Today for #EarthDay read this piece from @NeerajRajasekar rounding up research on how poor communities of color disproportionately face the consequences of climate change, in the U.S. and around the world https://t.co/np7Xwu15Hh

[NeerajRajasekar @NeerajRajasekar]

First time thrill of reviewing a paper which cites me 🙂 🙂 😃 😃 😃 #AcademicTwitter #Sociology

[The Society Pages @TheSocietyPages]

Check out a topical read for St. Patrick's day! We've got a #TROT research roundup from @NeerajRajasekar on how the Irish became white https://t.co/9zc8NPVz0m

@MahalaMiller covers research from Maia Cuchiarra in @socprobsjournal showing that low-income Black moms and parenting instructors understand the role of parents differently & this shapes whether they think physical discipline is ever appropriate https://t.co/CbpciGUV7Y

@victorerikray Thanks for sharing!

[NeerajRajasekar @NeerajRajasekar]

Finally, I think it bears mention that our paper draws on nationally-representative-survey-data AND critical race theory literature. I remember having conversations with other academics about the need for more quantitative CRT; well, here we go!

Many thanks for reading!!!

[NeerajRajasekar @NeerajRajasekar]

New paper! Myself, Matthew, and @hartm021 are pleased to share the publication of "Diversity Discourse as Racialized and Double-Edged" in Sociology of Race and Ethnicity (via @ASA_SREM )
