Very kind. Be fun to hang out. Always up for a change of scenery. 😊

Completely agree with the “just right” on all kinds of dimensions. Definitely one of our favorite places to visit! 👍

We moved to Wisconsin from Calgary, Alberta, a city of 1.4 million. Everything in Wisconsin still feels little to me! 😉

Also, I wanted to give a shout out to @johnzelenski.bsky.social and his textbook for some early inspiration in thinking about part of the chapter. collegepublishing.sagepub.com/products/pos...

Fiske suggested a long time ago that those outside of power circles have an important take on how systems work. If so, I wonder what crowding out smaller players might do to the emancipatory potential of ideas across the field.

Maybe this is more of a wonder than a current issue. To the extent that larger, more international samples become a bigger part of our field (a good thing), this could crowd out those at smaller or less affluent schools that don’t have the resources needed to collect such samples (a bad thing).

When conferences are held close enough to home that you can save on hotel fees and choose to sleep in your own bed at night

You can, but why would you want to? That’d be a really fast pace.

The question becomes does, and how does, your findings help make sense of this contradiction across two different, but clearly-related,literatures?

Or maybe you hit on what seems like a contradiction—that we *should* use individuating info but don’t (an overuse of group info; an implication of the old models you cite), but at the same time we *should not* be colorblind (an overuse of individuating info?; in prejudice reduction models).

Nationalities of the participants? If from individualistic countries, maybe this isn’t so surprising given that individual attributes might be cultural default for novel groups? Maybe this is like Fazio’s dissonance paper—you found a moderator and now need to articulate the other side of an effect?

Happy birthday! 🥳

Please add me as well. I didn’t see Susan Clayton on there either (sdclayton). Thanks! 😊

Bonus that these jobs say potential for funding rather than *must* secure it. Some positions read a tad tone deaf to the current funding climate. 👏
