In a new theory paper out today in ROB @weisman_hannah & I argue that employers & employees can have different understandings of passion that potentially conflict. This offers a different view on variety of challenges currently widespread in many orgs 1/8 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… A growing number of orgs signal to employees that being passionate about work is a positive workplace ideal, e.g., our systematic analysis of 200+ million job postings in the US finds that the appearance of the word “passion” has increased nearly tenfold from 2007 to 2019 2/8

🚨 New WP 🚨 In late 2020 we gave 5,000 low-income US participants $2000, $500, or nothing ($2.5m in transfers), measured survey outcomes, & (for 43%) have access to bank info. What did we find? 1/ (w/ @AniaJaroszewicz, @julianjamison, & Oliver Hauser)

job market season is approaching quickly... today in lab we developed a short overview of how to handle one of the most important aspects of a job talk: the Q&A!
Attached our notes and below the summary 👇
dropbox.com/s/cdi044dpc267… imho Q&A's are probably the most important part of a job talk. in many cases people already know (broadly) what your talk is about. the Q&A is a way for the audience (and even you!) to learn something new they didn't know before or to clarify something they didn't understand

🚨 New paper in press @ JESP 🚨

With ⬆️ racial diversity one might expect ⬆️ interactions btw White and non-White Americans

Instead we find that ⬆️ racial diversity prompt White Americans to structure environments to ⬇️ contact with non-White others

psyarxiv.com/yzpr2 In a first experiment, we show that White Americans geographically self-segregate in personally relevant spaces, keeping these spaces less racially diverse.

In areas where participants indicated spending more of their time at home, they also allocated more White residents.

I spent many days researching, and many weeks trying out configurations for my Personal Zoom Studio for my fall/winter online teaching

Here is my (supposedly final) setup 👇 (+ links at the end) For reference, I teach a live & interactive class. So there is little "pre-recording" and most of what I do will be in the moment discussion/debating.

Biggest thing I wanted is flexibility — a standing and a sitting option (pictured above) (+ a big green screen behind me)

As job talks are happening soon, I thought I'd share some advice I've received when I was on the market on 11 tips & tricks on how to give them. Disclaimer: this is most applicable to micro OB b-schools, but may apply with caveats elsewhere too (+ some is idiosyncratic) 1) Present in-progress, not published paper
2) Present 1 paper (at most 2, but not more)
3) Present at most 3-4 studies; the more complicated, the fewer
4) Spend at least 15 minutes on intro & get to data no later than 30 mins
5) For 90min talk, cap it at 45-50min (w/o questions)
