There are not enough words to express how proud and in awe I am of Kiara Sanchez!! Professor Sanchez is about to change the game 💯👏🏽

I loved getting to think and talk about this paper again on Diaries of Social Data! This project shows what's possible when different disciplines partner with practitioners to tackle real world questions. Thanks to Lucy Li and Katie Keith for having us!

In a time when it is *critical* for Americans to be talking about race, Kiara Sanchez offers important insight on how this plays out in cross-race friendships: what are the risks and benefits for White and Black friends who discuss race-related experiences?

Excited that this work is finally out! Nick Camp, rob voigt, Dan Jurafsky, and Jennifer Eberhardt use body camera footage to show the effects of officers' tone of voice on community members' institutional trust.
