Not sure the twitter thread is as valuable as the article itself. Suggesting a change: "Equitable Research Requires Questioning the Status Quo" https://www.urban.org/urban-wire/equitable-research-requires-questioning-status-quo https://www.urban.org/urban-wire/equitable-research-requires... -- My takeaway from the article is the assertion that because of current academic practices which value distance between researchers and subjects, research procedures, and funding-inspired biases, research is impaired by both a lack of personal insights as well as existing societal structures which often embody systemic racism. It probably could've been less edgy in making the point (the current title is a literal summary of what the author of the analysis wrote), but considering how many others tried and failed to make the same point in research (I'll find citations for this), I don't blame anyone for trying new messaging. I'm not really equipped to say whether I agree with where the piece lands (I probably do), but I did find the author's use of "rigorous" in her bio both amusing and interesting; I'm wondering if it's a hidden critique of her own org. First highlighted in this tweet: https://twitter.com/bnprogressive41/status/1440472043443478538 https://twitter.com/bnprogressive41/status/14404720434434785... --- TL;DR: it's trying to shine light on research deficiencies and prejudices differently than others have done so in the past.
