Representation is said to matter, but I didn't see myself in the world around me growing up.
Whom did I see? With whom was I supposed to identify? What about my children? And what about in children's books? What do children see? How to measure it?

Textbooks can shape children's worldviews. Using computational methods, @aadukia & @emileigharrison find that while Texas and California public school texts are similar, religious versions depict fewer women, lighter skin, and more faith content.

1/3 New research from @aadukia (@HarrisPolicy) and @emileigharrison finds that public school textbooks from Texas and California contain broadly similar content, but religious school textbooks differ significantly. ow.ly/29KJ50VWEyX

2/3 Religious school textbooks feature less female representation, lighter-skinned individuals, and distinct portrayals of evolution and religion.
MiiE Lab retweeted
3/3 Across all textbook types, females are portrayed more positively than males, but in less active or powerful roles. The U.S. founding era and slavery are depicted in largely similar ways throughout, and LGBTQIA+ individuals appear rarely.

Great paper on differences and similarities of school textbooks used in state vs religious schools 👇
So excited to share new work with @emileigharrison about the presence and portrayal of topics, values, and identities in U.S. textbooks:
What we teach in our curricula is more similar across our country than political narratives might have us believe.

Despite narratives of polarization, Texas and California public school books have similar curricula. Key differences and similarities emerge in religious schoolbooks, from @aadukia and @emileigharrison nber.org/papers/w33791
