#APSA2021 isn't over yet! There are 39 virtual panels starting... right.... now! Our session on racial justice is sponsored by @poli_com and @APSA_REP. #polcomm

First up is @SamGubitz making his final APSA presentation with an argument that incivility plays a crucial role in unequal democracies, providing marginalized groups with a way to disrupt the status quo.

Next up, @joshuadarr presents an experiment showing that Whites high in racial resentment/low in racial sympathy are less likely to read news w. racial justice frame, more likely to oppose making voting easier (w special shout-out to the late @pmartjo for supporting the project).

Third, @philutsc & @karstendonnay with a study on images of authoritarian Trump in the context of BLM protests: propaganda seems to convey strength even among opponents, though some evidence of backlash.

Batting clean-up, me & my brilliant co-author @smithmarisaa, who summarized our paper here:
