Instead, schools must find the answers for themselves: What kind of business are they in, and whom do they exist to serve?" – Neil Lewis Jr. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2023/01/should-college-admissions-use-standardized-test-scores/672816/

Really proud of this collaborative piece with @[email protected] + @[email protected] that we submitted a few weeks ago.

I still think it's plausible that some forms of contact (friendship?) can at least sometimes foster solidarity, or at least awareness. At least that's what my personal experience and intuition suggest. Lots of work to be done!
I'm excited to see this in print, at last! I think it's an important corrective of my earlier enthusiasm (e.g., Reimer et al., 2017) for intergroup contact as a means to foster solidarity across social divides.
