@aera-motsig.bsky.social friends, I've heard from several of you about emails you got from @aeraedresearch.bsky.social mistakenly listing you as discussants. It seems to be a widespread issue, but rest assured we'll get it fixed.

Heeeey @aera-motsig.bsky.social @aera-motsig-grad.bsky.social apply BY DEC 15 for Pintrich & Grad Travel Award if you are 1) a current grad student, 2) a member of the MotSIG, & 3) 1st author on an accepted submission in the '26 AERA MotSIG program using the following form: forms.gle/QmnfsG3LMj8T...

Excited to share a new paper by my grad student and myself, highlighting how classroom experiences such as positive classroom climate relate to changes in STEM motivational beliefs across the semester 🤸‍♀️🎉https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1m8Px,8E16MF-A

What?! That is nuts.

That's terrible! Did you consider writing back and challenging the decision?

Are you trying to personalize your teaching, technology, etc. to students' interests, prior knowledge, etc.? Then you need to get this new Handbook edited by @mattbernacki.bsky.social and other fine folks! #AcademicSky #EduSky

Need Bloosky wisdom: I receive about 8 cold external emails a day from students, colleagues, parents, teachers, and strangers asking for advice, collaboration, supervision, or endorsements. Double past year’s volume. I screen, but can only answer about 2 a day. How do folks manage? Ideas?

OMG that's so many. I get far fewer of these and am overwhelmed. I have an FAQ for prospective students & a form they can fill out, but some still need me to point them there via email. I don't have other ideas for how to handle this but I do hope others do! www.kristyarobinson.com/miles-lab.html

1. Last office hours a few people had questions about personal statements for grad school apps. I suggested a template that has worked well in my experience & have also laid it out in the thread below in case it's useful for you all.

Seriously 😆

"not the most cutting edge" indeed lol

I'm super interested in how incentive structures for getting and keeping jobs could promote instead of thwart intellectual risk, and how we could address this issue of "a bottleneck through which only a particular kind of journal article can squeeze"

Relevant to this: some thought-provoking reading on cultural and structural changes needed for bold, robust theorizing to happen doi.org/10.1037/mot0...

Some friendly advice to folks new to the conference submission game: everybody gets some submissions rejected. I did today. It’s normal and expected. Keep doing the best work you can, don’t get too high or too low, learn from every decision, and push on. #AERA2026

Happy #AERA2026 decision day to all who celebrate! May your day be a happy one, either because of or despite your results!

On a separate note, thanks again to all who submitted such excellent work and who worked hard to review for @aera-motsig.bsky.social —I see you and I GREATLY appreciate you! ❤️

J'ai passé un moment formidable à l'Université Laval! Un grand merci à tous ceux qui ont assisté à la conférence et qui m'ont si bien accueilli!

I had a wonderful time at @ulaval.ca ! Many thanks to those who attended the talks and who made me feel so welcome!

Bonjour Québec! Very excited to be visiting colleagues at Université Laval this week and finally getting to visit this gorgeous city!

We are excited to share that we will be hosting an information session for Division C's 2026 Shark Tank Competition on Wednesday, November 5, 2025!

Screen shot of a manuscript front page. Article is titled “Combating scientific racism in psychological science and educational psychology: Interrogating notions of rigor”

Excited to share our new paper!

We call for the field to adopt a more inclusive understanding of rigor. One that values diverse epistemological lenses and research designs

Social Identity Map: A Reflexivity Tool for Practicing Explicit Positionality in Critical Qualitative Research - Danielle Jacobson, Nida Mustafa, 2019 The way that we as researchers view and interpret our social worlds is impacted by where, when, and how we are socially located and in what society.

A colleague sent me this article, which is six years old, but still very relevant. It encourages people to think about how their perspectives can influence their science. Norms & practices can discipline our inherent subjectivity, but we must also do work ourselves. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

Super super cool!

So excited and proud of this paper! What an exciting opportunity it was to work with STELLAR scholars from across the U.S. to investigate infrastructures to support equity in STEM! 🤩

This month’s Motivation Monday is a special collaboration with the @aeratepsig.bsky.social on teaching educational psychology. Join us in conversation with @allisonmaster.bsky.social, Allison Zengilowski, @yekim.bsky.social, and @shipko.bsky.social.

Manuscript submitted! Always a good feeling. It's just the best working with great co-authors Jessica Hunter, @colejohnson.bsky.social, and @sanheeta.bsky.social! Fingers crossed it doesn't get sent back for re-formatting, my absolute pet peeve lol. #amwriting #friyay

This is how I'm feeling for sure.
