Lineage in academia is more than what school and who trained you. As a team sport, academic ideas necessarily come from somewhere. My thought lineage is rooted heavily in Tyler and Mayer but also Holling, Ostrom, and Baldwin. Unpacking them is a fun, intellectually reinvigorating mental break.

Big day :) #trustresearch

How can we rebuild trust in psychology, law, and institutions? Join us for the Friday Plenary, where Drs. Fettig, Hamm, Perillo, and Neal will discuss the erosion of public confidence in government and legal systems and ways to restore faith in justice. #TrustInJustice #PsychologyAndLaw #apls2025

Fun story on some recently published work coming out of the #TRUSSTLab. sociology.msu.edu/news/student...

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to shine the spotlight on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research.

Hah! I thought that the article title would post. Important context for my musing here. :) Rapidly diverging public trust in science in the United States.

Interesting new piece on #trustinscience at PUS. The authors argue that existing theory falls flat in explaining this and it left me wondering if this is—on average—an individual-level motivated trust/threat response for liberals as well as conservatives. doi.org/10.1177/0963...

New #TrustResearch Paper Drop Day! Schulz finds that, in response to the pandemic, pro-incumbent partisans are more motivated to offer their trust. Subsequent declines trust however were equally explained by increased social (not individual) vulnerability across parties. doi.org/10.1080/2151...

New TRUSST Lab Paper Drop Day If trust is a willingness to accept vulnerability, it’s important to know what people feel vulnerable to. In multilevel institutions like #highred, we suggest that a place to start is capturing and cataloguing experienced harm. #trustresearch doi.org/10.1007/s107...

This one is going on the CV :) #AppleMusicReplay

An #AcademicSky lesson I’m learning and wanted to share. As a rule (with exceptions!) don’t focus your energy on trying to un/remake systems in #highered. Most of them are the elephant paths trod by other academics who didn’t quite have the time or training needed to make better calls. Instead…

Hahaha :) Content Analysis: His writing veers between academic precision and casual banter, like a professor who just found out he can wear sneakers to class—flexible but still on-point. blueskyroast.com

Crisis framing activates fatalism (a sense the world is beyond repair), which makes people apathetic. A far better strategy for inspiring action is to show that change is not only desirable but also possible www.nytimes.com/2024/11/21/opinion/public-health-crisis-america.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

UPDATE: After a day of banging on it, I think I have most of our extended abstract pretty solid. The intro and set up feel nice and coherent. The punchline, however, remains an inscrutable cluster f**k…

Looks right to me :) scholargoggler.com

Optimist: the cup is half full Pessimist: the cup is half empty. Trust Researcher: the optimist has more benevolence but the pessimist is more competent.

Quick reminder for early career folks making these decisions. Before you take on service, know that if they didn’t value before you did the work, they won’t value you after. That may not change whether you do the work, but know that you can’t work your way to value. #academicsky

💯

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. There is nothing as invigorating as getting to talk trust with an interdisciplinary group of trust researchers. Thanks to everyone who joined!
