DESCRIPTION:(Joint work with Liam Kofi Bright)\n\nIt is easier to be medio
 cre when you are in the mainstream. This\, at least\, would be true if it 
 were the case that mainstream academics have a preference for engaging wit
 h work from their own research traditions\, while marginalized academics h
 ave to engage with mainstream work for career survival. Using computer sim
 ulations\, we explore how under such attention asymmetry\, mainstream work
  becomes over-credited\, worse in quality\, and over-represented\, as comp
 ared to marginalized work. Along the way we present empirical evidence of 
 this phenomenon and discuss how it relates to demographic disparities obse
 rved in the academy.
