The end of my term as Editor of Personality and Social Psychology Review is profoundly bittersweet. While it is a relief not to oversee the day-to-day influx of manuscripts, I will greatly miss the opportunity to work with this stellar team on a journal I am so proud of.

Please read our final reflections! Knowing that it is now in the hands of the incomparable Eranda Jayawickreme is great solace, as the journal will only continue to get better.

I was absolutely delighted to revisit the @HiddenBrain team for a follow-up to my original episode. These follow-ups are called “Your Questions Answered.” (My segment starts at 55:20) Here’s the link:

(In a delightful twist, my new segment got stitched together with a rebroadcast of an older episode featuring the incomparable Eli Finkel, one of my grad school professors, whose work on marriage is captivating. I couldn’t ask for a better Hidden Brain buddy!)

I couldn't possibly be more excited to see "Kufre n Quay" later this month. Levi Mngomezulu, who is playing Kufre, has been one of our son's best friends since first grade and I have watched his theatrical growth over those years. I'm sure he will absolutely shine.

For my book I’m looking to interview people who have an experience of “the danger of a single story.” Have you had an experience where you felt reduced to one storyline, maybe some category (race, gender, sexuality, etc.), or some other thing that seemed to trump everything else?

It doesn’t need to be an extreme story, just an everyday experience of feeling stuck in a story other people were telling about people like you. Thanks! (Here's the brilliant original TED talk by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie introducing that concept: youtube.com/watch?v=D9Ihs241…)

As many of you know, I’ve spent this sabbatical year working on a book project. I’m thrilled to announce that, as of yesterday, I officially have a contract with @penguinrandom’s @Avery_Books imprint to publish the book!

And, while I have missed @OlinCollege, I want to give a HUGE shout-out to my community of Fellows in the @newhouse_center at @Wellesley this year, who have been the most dreamy colleagues to work alongside on this project.

Books take a really long time to come into the world, so look for this one in February 2027. In the meantime, I’m looking forward to talking with YOU to shape this book about identity!
