KatyPearce<p>I was on KING5 New Day Northwest this morning talking about the TikTok ban. <a href="https://www.king5.com/video/entertainment/television/programs/new-day-northwest/breaking-down-the-impending-tiktok-ban-new-day-nw/281-26eaa389-01fb-42e4-9225-ca1d09bfbf47" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">king5.com/video/entertainment/</span><span class="invisible">television/programs/new-day-northwest/breaking-down-the-impending-tiktok-ban-new-day-nw/281-26eaa389-01fb-42e4-9225-ca1d09bfbf47</span></a></p>
KatyPearce<p>Academic parents! I have AI webinars on Jan 3, 9, and 16. The focus is on using AI for work-life balance - handing off tedious work and life tasks to get some time back. They're 1.5 hours and will be a good way to start off the new year! <br /><a href="https://www.katypearce.net/ai-empowerment/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">katypearce.net/ai-empowerment/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

KatyPearce<p>I was interviewed by @KUOW about AI! <a href="https://www.kuow.org/stories/learning-tool-or-bs-machine-how-ai-is-shaking-up-higher-ed" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">kuow.org/stories/learning-tool</span><span class="invisible">-or-bs-machine-how-ai-is-shaking-up-higher-ed</span></a></p>
KatyPearce<p>As always, huge thanks to participants, research assistants, past collaborators, reviewers, and editors.</p>
KatyPearce<p>I've also tried to do some more in-depth discussion of Azerbaijani family structure and honor culture.</p>
KatyPearce<p>I've also tried to tap into understanding the cost-benefit analysis of political expression in an more challenging political context and how family plays into this.</p>
KatyPearce<p>There has been some recent really cool work on families and activism in Hong Kong that I enjoyed engaging with. I hope those folks continue developing these ideas because it has been some of the most fruitful for me to compare my own data with.</p>
KatyPearce<p>I engage with theorizing on relational repression and stigma. Specifically, I consider the role of courtesy stigma (stigma by association) in shaping activists’ decisions - usually to conceal their political identities from their families.</p>
KatyPearce<p>This study focuses on FAMILY relationships. Previous work that I've done on this, with others, has focused on friends.</p>
KatyPearce<p>Here's a link to an auto-generated podcast on the article. It wasn't perfect (and it was embasssingly flattering to me) but if you don't want to read the entire article, this summarizes it well. <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MpMbVh1cZ1Yl63_gNcP0uxVZtAgoXwBJ/view?usp=drivesdk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">drive.google.com/file/d/1MpMbV</span><span class="invisible">h1cZ1Yl63_gNcP0uxVZtAgoXwBJ/view?usp=drivesdk</span></a></p>

KatyPearce<p>In not-at-all-shocking news - a study found that AI can't do peer review. <br /><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0169260724003067?casa_token=44ky0zuTYQMAAAAA:V3zDZjni8XeFD0g5kAzQapwyJnhPmD9EDCSxgRx1uepYqXtF7deHnPxSqqJltaOZN4WU4tYiLV4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">sciencedirect.com/science/arti</span><span class="invisible">cle/abs/pii/S0169260724003067?casa_token=44ky0zuTYQMAAAAA:V3zDZjni8XeFD0g5kAzQapwyJnhPmD9EDCSxgRx1uepYqXtF7deHnPxSqqJltaOZN4WU4tYiLV4</span></a></p>
