Gender need not be your primary area of research; you are eligible to complete the survey if you have studied any gender-related topics at any point. See the link below and feel free to let us (myself and @theklamorgenroth.bsky.social) know if you have any questions! 2/x

Making my first Bluesky post with a fun announcement. I’m so happy I’m me moving back to my hometown of Chicago to work with @jinxungoh.bsky.social and Sohad Murrar as a postdoc this Fall at UIC! Grateful to the village that got me to this point 🫶🏽

It's great that social psych research on these topics is becoming more common, but we argue that this work still lacks power and status, inhibiting its impacts. We call for those making publishing and funding decisions to be attentive to this issue and work to reverse it. (3/x)

Using PsycINFO keyword searches, we found that trans- and nonbinary-related research is published very infrequently in social psychology's "top" journals—much less than traditionally binary gender research—and has seemingly never been funded by the NSF's social psychology program. (2/n)
