Toward a Theory of Minority-group Relations | 
Today‘s bookstack is brought you by my university‘s library, and this PhD life📚 I reallyyyy wish I could finish up Frankenstein today (more than half way through and I‘m loving it more than I ever thought🖤), but then adulting happened.

I‘m presenting research from the second chapter of my dissertation at a conference next week in Atlanta, and while I wish I could just present on all the fun books I‘ve read this semester instead, I can‘t😭.
placebeyondthespines The research I‘m presenting focuses on people‘s negative perceptions of Latinos and how these perceptions shape support for more punitive border control policies (e.g., building a wall). Definitely a timely topic, which means lots of Trump tweets get to make a debut in my PowerPoint, especially regarding the so-called "invasion” of the Guatemalan caravan making it‘s way north... 6y
placebeyondthespines ... not to mention his perceptions of the “types” of people he believes them to be (i.e., “some very bad people”). Trumpisms are always a big hit at academic conferences sooooo it‘s gonna be YUGE🍊🤗😂 6y
candority Your research sounds fascinating! Best of luck with the presentation 😊 6y

bookcollecter Did you know that Trump doesn't write his own tweets? He has a social media person. 6y
