Read our open letter to the Taoiseach and Climate Minister, arguing that there is no legal or scientific justification for delaying Ireland's Climate Action Plan. It's urgently needed to close the carbon budget delivery gap this decade, and further delays will increase overall costs.

“Hype” seems to have become a core feature of Big Tech – seen in the rise of hype men like Elon Musk and Sam Altman.

But why? What is the role of hype in contemporary capitalism?

My new paper answers these questions, and argues the creation of a Critical Hype Studies. 🧵

Happy to share my new publication in @sfjournal.bsky.social!📣
Why is household equality so hard? Unequal scripts mean that equality takes work—often falling to women, even when men say they want it.
Paradoxically, for women, doing less still means more work.

If you know potential PhD candidates who'd be interested, please link them to Studentships currently advertised on our ERC ID-Compression project (one social psychology; one applied maths/computational social science): @markrubin.bsky.social @shelleymckeown.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/mike...

At 66 pages, it's a bit of a monster, so unlikely to be popular with lab groups & literature clubs; but I have tried to write a paper that I would have liked to read as a PhD student. I hope it's interesting and useful to someone! I'm very grateful to the many collaborators on the work reviewed.

Social Identity Networks are theoretically anchored between social identity and social representations theory. The mathematical representations are carefully mapped to theory, and the approach has empirical support across multiple scales from micro-processes to macro-outcomes. @spspnews.bsky.social‬

A personal post & something I've not mentioned on Bluesky before. My mother died a few months ago. In her final months, one of the projects she was quite taken by, was the Blankets of Hope initiative organised by Iris House Cork Cancer Support: irishousecork.ie/blankets-of-...

Wait, do French people dunk croissants?

A few thoughts on academic civility, the paradigm ceasefire, and the challenge posed to critical social psychology by the misdiagnosis of the replicability crisis.

Based on the idea that the Harré quote below would be seen as terribly poor form if uttered by a prominent social psychologist today.
