Black firefighters experience institutional racism in forms that include double standards and negative stereotypes, according to a recent study by CORD Fellow James Wright II and CORD Graduate Fellow Victoria Pham (ASU School of Public Affairs). The findings, published in Review of Public Personnel Administration (ROPPA) with Collin Cox (Florida International University), are based on interviews with Black firefighters conducted in 2021 in a medium-sized fire department in the southern U.S.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in research, yet we know little about how to integrate it effectively and transparently into social science experiments. Using one of my working papers as an illustrative example, I discuss how AI can streamline and advance the methodological aspects of experimental research in three ways. First, I explain how researchers can design simulation-based power analyses that account for parameters and assumptions often overlooked by baseline tools such as G*Power.
