Congrats!

"Question 7 (How welcoming do you find academic philosophy to be toward underrepresented groups) has a weak negative correlation for both Likert and hand-coded sentiment. This means that underrepresented participants are likely more negative than other participants in response to this question." 🧵

On *content*, from results: "Given the substantial body of evidence that philosophy can be hostile towards members of underrepresented groups...we hypothesized above that underrepresented participants will have more negative sentiment, per question, when compared to all other participants." 🧵

2) "hand coding indicated mean negative sentiment, whereas Likert-scaled questions and machine learning indicated mean positive sentiment. This difference has multiple explanations that require further study." 🧵

On *research methods*, from our conclusion: 1) "What we find fits publications from other disciplines: automated machine learning techniques can be used to complement hand coding, but have limited utility on their own." 🧵

If you want students to do well in life, including in their careers, then give them the tools to forge their own path. They don’t know what tools they might need, and neither do we. We should be offering them a rich array of skills, rather than pretending we are a widget factory.

Nabokov a bit on the nose

Yeah, fair. I couldn’t find the full recipe online, but here it is.

(I tried this, did a 6 month delay, and felt like it was worth it…complex etc. Could have been placebo.)

I love old fashioneds! You could delay the problem by trying the Dishoom recipe, which requires you to age the whiskey for a month + cookwithheather.com/Dishoom-Vice...
