Last semester, I taught myself how to plot maps using R. Because I suffered a bit too much through this process, I figured I would make an easy tutorial for choropleth maps like the one below. I put this tutorial up on my website: sites.google.com/view/egarcia... I hope this helps someone!

Super excited to guide people through my MS’s work during the poli psy pre-conference at #SPSP2024. I’ll be discussing why people who dislike the status quo are not motivated to change it, and some methodological issues capturing the group’s attitudes. #SocialPsyc #PsychSciSky #PoliPsy #PoliPsySky

We have a paper under review which investigates how conservation efforts (i.e., the cult of wilderness) is primarily a White right-wing concern. We argue it is more palliative and allows continuation of colonial/extractive engagement with non-human nature. osf.io/preprints/ps...
