🚨Excited to share new work led by the amazing Rebecca Ponce de Leon and co-authored with
@AshleighRosette
published in OBHDP. We explore what factors shape Black American's perceptions of organizational allyship and the critical implications that follow.
I am thrilled to announce that starting Fall ‘23 I’ll be an Assistant Professor of Organizational Behavior

This is truly a dream job and the best news to take into the holiday season. Thanks to everyone who has supported me—this was absolutely a team effort! 💕💪🏾
Oh, Shai this wasn’t even about you, but you know what they say…hit dogs holler.
However! If I was talking about you I would’ve recommend you seek an experienced mental health professional and not a diary. Only someone deeply disturbed could make genocide and terror about him.
My small act of rebellion against the patriarchy and white supremacy?
I set female and Black equal to 1 and male and white equal to 0 in my datasets.

One of the hardest lessons I’ve had to learn in graduate school? Ask. Just do it.
“I don’t wanna seem ungrate—“ ASK
“I’m already so fortun—“ ASK
“They’ll say no bec—“ ASK
“I don’t deserve to—“ ASK
Other people are asking. You better ask.
Introducing Dr. James T. Carter!
Today I successfully defended my doctoral dissertation with the support of amazing committee and friends! What a journey and excited to close out this chapter. On to the next!
A group of 13 Black scholars got together (led by
@MikkiHebl
) and put our thoughts down about how Black people are feeling and experiencing racism right now and what we feel will move us forward. I look forward to hearing your thoughts when it's out and encourage you to read it!
Was in conversation with a CEO yesterday and after telling him what I researched (diversity), he said “great timing 😄”
Let’s not do that. My scholarship is not a function of the zeitgeist nor is it about profitability—it’s about the very real experiences of marginalized ppl.
@MintakaGlow
@Summar_McGee
I want less responses. I’m getting emails about things that are posted clearly in two places haha. Or that I’ve already explained in a previous email. Pls don’t email me 😂
I somehow tricked
@Columbia
and
@Columbia_Biz
into giving me a PhD! This six-year journey has come to an end and now that it has, I want share a little bit of gratitude to those who helped me get here.
I often think about the professor who told me something along the lines of “you’re going to kill it on the job market because you’re Black and went to Columbia”.
To think about what that does to one’s psyche is really a journey.
#BlackintheIvory
Yet again: no one is going after you!
My point is you need to be held accountable for what tagging people and engaging with their tweets means for their mentions. Because of you I’m being called slurs. That is a direct consequence of YOUR actions.
Earlier today, I posted about a professor at
@UCBerkeley
(who I deeply respect) who wrote a blatant anti-semitic post about "Jewish power in academia."
Yet, this professor from
@Cornell
(and a graduate of
@Columbia
) is going after me.
The future of higher education in the

Excited (but also exhausted) to share our new review piece on anti-Black racism in organizations. We review the origins, prior work, and provide new directions and considerations for future research on the topic.

Not sure what any of this has to do with my statement that you need to be held accountable for the violence your legion of followers are inflicting on people.
@JamesTCarter3
@Sakiera_Hudson
Hey, James, just for accuracy sake, here is what I posted (an antisemitic comment by Sa-Kiera who, otherwise, is a great person and researcher). Just replace "Jewish people" with any other minority, and see what your response will be:

NEW RESEARCH ALERT!
So excited to see this work finally out
@PsychScience
with my amazing collaborators Erika Hall and Sarah Townsend!
I’m so fortunate to work with brilliant and supportive scholars!
Me waking up to my mentions. Some highlights:
• Columbia should fire me (good luck)
• I’m a “DIE” hire (well, yes, a DEI scholar)
• I conditionally support civil rights (???)
• I look like an asshole (I mean…fair 😂 I’m working on that!)
#BeingAPsychologistWhileBlack
means when you are being interviewed for a prestigious grant a prof stops you mid-sentence to say “I don’t think stereotypes are real, it’s all Bayesian inference; if someone has a record they’re likely more dangerous than someone without, right?”
Hello. Good morning. Didn’t know I had to say this, but apparently I do: 45’s election did NOT create racism and getting him out of office won’t fix it.
That’s it. That’s the tweet.
Academics: “wow Twitter sucks (now)”
Me: “well you seem to only use it when you’re announcing a new paper or award so…”
Academics: “…what else would I use it for?”
It’s publication day! So excited this work is finally out in print and eternally grateful to wonderful collaborators (Erika Hall and Sarah Townsend) who have been fantastic mentors and friends throughout this process!
Got feedback on a grant wherein the reviewer didn’t like that the proposed studies only included non-white participants (i.e., Black and Latino participants) and I didn’t know we were still having issues with that in 2020 when most samples are 98% white.
Just thinking about that time I asked a professor if she would nominate me for an award to which she responded that I shouldn’t be so entitled and presumptuous. She said she was going to nominate me anyway but the fact that I asked rubbed her the wrong way.

Excited to share this new piece on organizational DEI initiatives led by
@SandraNoDuerme
! We take a historical look at the roots of DEI in organizations, critique where we’ve been, and provide insights into where we should go next!
Excited to finally get this wonderful volume edited by

@MikkiHebl
and to see my and Rebecca’s chapter on double jeopardy and intersectional invisibility finally in print! Looking forward to making my way through it and congrats to everyone featured!
Tonight I submitted a paper I started in my first year with
@ProfKWPhillips
. It’s been a long time coming and special thanks to
@AdamGalinsky
for stepping in to get it to the “finish” line, but excited to have it under review.
This one is for you, Kathy!

@SandraNoDuerme
and I are excited to share our qualitative case study on status beliefs & diversity ideologies in the State Dept
We discuss the pervasive, reinforcing stickiness of diversity stigma & its socio-cognitive consequences
With all that is going on, it is nice to get some good news!
I found out this afternoon that I have been awarded the 2020 Linda Faye Williams Prize for Social Justice from Rice!
Truly honored, humbled, and looking forward to continuing the legacy!

Celebrating a journal article acceptance and a manuscript submission tonight with my new favorite ✨ gin ✨
Stay tuned for info on the former and send good vibes for the latter!
Why is it that for any point a person wants to make on why their group shouldn’t suffer they must draw a reductive, baseless analogy or rely on false logic and equivalency between that group and Black Americans?
“Is a student organization celebrating a lynching of an African American male free speech? I'm not asking for restrictions of free speech. I'm asking for equal treatment,” says Columbia Business School professor Shai Davidai, who grew up in Israel.
Despite the numerous rejections, yesterday I had a zoom call with 5 (!!!) brilliant Black researchers about our R&R and it was reaffirming and a great reminder that I’m right where I’m supposed to be.
I never understood why people liked to sit in the grass? As a kid and in college, I was like “y’all don’t itch? This isn’t nice or fun”
Then I went to the allergist (at 22) and learned I was allergic to the 3 most common grasses in Texas. 😌🥴🙃
A friend's male assistant is a fake email account she runs because people called her "difficult" and "impossible" for having small windows of availability until "he" started running interference and then people just accepted she was fucking busy. I AM VERY INTO THIS.
I oscillate very intensely between “I work too hard during the week to not make my weekends mine” and “I don’t work enough during the week to take weekends off.”
Ah, graduate school 🥴🙃
Just gave my first in person talk in 2 years (!!!)
@PsychPrinceton
for the ESPS series! It was such a pleasure to share some work on allyship with their graduate students and meet with Nicole Shelton, Stacey Sinclair, and
@betsylevyp
!
I really love that Twitter has given (senior) academics a way to expose and tell on themselves in public. I really needed this before graduate school but so happy to have discovered it period.
It's been a crazy week but yesterday I found out three (3!) of the symposia I submitted to
@AOMConnect
were accepted (one as a Showcase Symposium) and JUST submitted a paper I've been working on since 2018. I don't know about you all, but I am drinking something bubbly tonight!
1. I never condoned (and don’t condone) antisemitism.
2. Whether you told them to or not is immaterial to my point. But for you to understand that you would have to read & comprehend.
3. I’ve concluded trying to engage in a good-faith conversation with you is pointless.
Bye
James,
No one should be attacking anyone, and I have *never* told anyone to say/write/do anything.
Have you ever considered that siding with antisemites is why people are attacking you?
When I was applying and hearing back from colleges, I remember posting about having been admitted to some (maybe six at this point), and a former teacher left this comment. I think a lot about this comment and what it meant for me as a 1st gen student. Among other identities…
Okay…I’m really tryna get this faculty job
@RiceUniversity
but they HAVE to take my face off of all the undergraduate advertisements. It’ll confuse people! 😂
Thanks,
@sandravparsons
for sharing!
I appreciate everyone who dealt with this, but know that it is impossible for this man to steal my joy!
It’s truly a dream come true for this first-gen, low-income college grad who has always asked big questions and fought tooth and nail for everything.
I’m good y’all!
How petty am I?
In a zoom meeting today someone asked me how I would go about finding out the answer to someone we both didn’t know.
I shared my screen and proceeded to Google the question. I then clicked on the first link and copy/pasted of the URL into the chat.
Notable—unlike other schools, Wesleyan Uni says it will not clear an encampment so long as it remains non-violent:
"This morning you can find pro-Palestinian protestors camped out…as long as we all reject violence, we have opportunities to listen and to learn from one another."
At my dad’s place in Texas and this house has:
5 bedrooms
4 full bathrooms
2 living rooms
2 dining rooms
3 separate outdoor spaces (balconies, patios)
And we pay almost THE SAME RENT.
I’m suing New York City by close of business today.
Got feedback on a grant wherein the reviewer didn’t like that the proposed studies only included non-white participants (i.e., Black and Latino participants) and I didn’t know we were still having issues with that in 2020 when most samples are 98% white.
Just had the most amazing participant interview (of course she was Black), and it's making me 1) upset we don't get formally trained in ethnographic methods and 2) so much more fulfilled than looking at Stata and analyzing survey data. Research should always elicit this feeling.
Is it weird that I’ve already mapped out the purchases I’m making when I hit major milestones (e.g., getting a TT job, promotion to Associate, tenure, etc.)?

The ExPO Lab
@CornellILR
is seeking a stellar researcher to join us next year! See the posting below, spread the word, and feel free to ask any questions!
At the time I didn’t have the language to say “do you understand how powerfully racist that comment is?”
But I did say “you’re discreditingu experience and the work and careers of a number of scholars who have fundamentally shaped how we understand the experience of minorties”
