I'm at #PAA2024. If you want to meet up, let me know.

Also, I'll be giving a talk on Saturday in the last session (Migration Around the World) on how population-level educational attainment affects individual-level wages, with a special focus on nativity (domestic- vs- foreign born).

Note: This is a good paper, but I only got this slot because everyone else has to be at the airport then. So I'm a little afraid for the attendance.

New paper from me and Jill Hamm! The title tells you everything you need to know: "Network Position Affects Social Status in Early Adolescence." #sociology #sociodon @sociology

I'll try and post a preprint and write things up a bit better soon.

Hey #sociologists #sociodon @sociology
I had a student ask me about Isabel Wilkerson's book "Caste". Have any of you read it? Is it consistent with sociological research on race and racism? (I'm hoping it is good, #sociology could use some accessible writing)

My book Mapping Texts (co-authored with @mtaylor_soc ) ships at the end of this month if you order directly from Oxford University Press!

The book's website is now live: https://www.textmapping.com

More pages on the site will go live once the book is officially published!

Not ready to do a full writeup of this at the moment (and I don't have a preprint up yet either) but I have some work to share!

By myself and Sagi Ramaj: Educational expansion, fields of study, and the gender gap in analytic skill usage on the job

Free to download at this link! Via RSSM. I'll get a full thread and a preprint up in early 2024.

Wow I'm delighted that #WaterfallWednesday is a thing. First #Bloomscrolling, now this.

Academics, maybe we need some pithy hashtags to increase engagement too. #MondayMethods? #WritingHackWednesday? #NewResearch...Thursday?

#SocAF on Twitter did something similar.

If you work on a college campus, remember, leaving campus early is a good deed (freeing up a parking space for someone else).

Do your part. Go home early.

This line in Barbara Baig's writing book triggered a memory: "most adults are very self-conscious about learning anything new."

Years ago I took an ink painting class at my local arts center. A middle-aged woman cried because she wasn't immediately good at it. To me this is a convincing case for #ungrading.

How does similarity and spatial proximity shape neighbour relations within residential buildings?

Howard Becker est décédé. Avec lui disparaît un auteur central, un petit morceau d’histoire et l’un des meilleurs enseignants.

Final grades for my summer class submitted today! Any post-teaching recovery ideas? I still have small deadlines but whew it feels good to wrap an intensive daily class. 🙌

Manuscript word limits (or page limits) for #sociology and related journals. I spent way too long on this. I didn't finish and there were a couple I couldn't find, but hopefully this will be useful to someone else anyway.
