The Souls of White Jokes by @RaulPerezSoc is out today!
A rigorous study of the social meaning and consequences of racist humor, and a damning argument for when the joke is not just a joke. #ReadUP #soctwitter

If you’re interested in learning about Prof. Khiara Bridges' work, then we recommend her book The Poverty of Privacy Rights. This book makes a simple, controversial argument: Poor mothers in America have been deprived of the right to privacy.

Academic Outsider by @victoriadreyes is out today!
Many enter the academy with dreams of doing good; this is a book about how the institution fails them, especially if they are considered "outsiders."

Just wrote this for @washingtonpost How racist police jokes fuel white supremacy and racist violence in law enforcement. I focus on LAPD in 1992, and I highlight how this problem has only gotten worse in the last 30 years in police departments across the U.S. #LAuprising

My new @stanfordpress blog post on Big Tobacco’s black cultural patronage offers perspective on why some civil rights activists are excited about the news today that the FDA plans to ban menthol-flavored cigarettes.
"Today, tobacco companies continue to use Black cultural patronage to project an image of themselves as valuing diversity and caring about Black people."
@PatriciaABanks wrote about corporate social responsibility and the tobacco industry on the the SUP blog. #ReadUP
