One of the giants of social psychology was a serial sexual harasser.

This new report reveals how Miles Hewstone touched, bullied, and sexual harassed numerous women during his 18 years at the University of Oxford. It's amazing how often bullying and sexual harassment go together in academia.

In this commentary, I argue that student-based teaching evaluations are problematic bc

✳️ systematic biases (e.g., racism, sexism)
✳️ poor construct validity
✳️ undermine standards and learning

We should evaluate teaching as seriously as we do research. Or don't do teaching evaluations.

It is time to abandon student evaluations of teaching

Symposium announcement: Can the Right Be Right for Animals? In a time of political upheaval & growing influence of (far) right-wing populist parties, where does animal advocacy stand? Could there be unexpected allies on the political right, or should advocates brace for more conservative pushback?
