DESCRIPTION:(Joint work with Liam Kofi Bright)\n\nIt is easier
  to be mediocre when you are in the mainstream. Th
 is\, at least\, would be true if it were the case 
 that mainstream academics have a preference for en
 gaging with work from their own research tradition
 s\, while marginalized academics have to engage wi
 th mainstream work for career survival. Using comp
 uter simulations\, we explore how under such atten
 tion asymmetry\, mainstream work becomes over-cred
 ited\, worse in quality\, and over-represented\, a
 s compared to marginalized work. Along the way we 
 present empirical evidence of this phenomenon and 
 discuss how it relates to demographic disparities 
 observed in the academy.
