Causal modeling limits our theoretical and analytical imagination regarding racial inequality. Settler colonialism and the Transatlantic slave trade caused racial inequality. Our job now is to understand the mechanisms maintaining racial inequality.


The study of racism is how disinformation becomes normalized via ideologies, beliefs, laws, and social practices. And that disinformation gets stitched into the American fabric and presented to the population as if it is universally true.

Considering what MOST Americans did during slavery, Indian removal, Reconstruction, the lynching epidemic, Jim Crow era & JD Vance's futon phase... How long before MOST people recognize that America is in its fascist era? dlvr.it/TLQ5CG


The creation of racial categories should be viewed as a human rights violation. Because they standardized and normalized subjugation.

Millennials say they want to work at companies that value diversity. But what kind of diversity matters most? Read on for answers in my latest column for Forbes.com. @forbes forbes.com/sites/adiaharv…


🚨new publication alert🚨 Super proud of @DeonteSoc on his first publication. This paper is an adapted version of his Masters thesis. Great work!

My first publication, co-authored with @doc_thoughts is out in Journal of Family issues! We examine poverty and religious attendance trajectories for Black mothers over time and what associations these trajectories have with Black mothers’ relationships with their children.

I miss the old Twitter.


It took me a while to realize this but the "Moving to Opportunity" project is rooted in racial essentialism. That's why I have a hard time grappling with those studies.

White Mediocrity Empowers White Villainy, so we need white people to have objective criteria for considering themselves good and decent. Our culture lies when it says Black & Brown folk need to prove they're good, but white people simply are... publicbooks.org/white-mediocri…

Excited to share my new article in @SF_Journal ! Using a survey experiment with 995 families, I show how race shapes beliefs about school safety. White, Asian, and Latine families perceive Black schools as less safe—even when safety ratings are identical. #Education #Race 1/4

We need to talk about the intersections of Whiteness and paternalism in academia.


Jealousy is just confused admiration.

My research is not about social categories; rather, my work focuses on the processes and mechanisms that make social category salient in the first place. There's a difference.


#AcademicTwitter are there "go-to" articles on measuring race, measuring gender, and measuring sexuality?
