I'm at . 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

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

Follow up: One of the papers I resubmitted after an R&R where I had to write a 6,300 word memo was rejected. One of the reviewers decided that the language and paper structure that he (it is probably a he) suggested that we use last time wasn't good enough, and that we should rewrite the whole thing again.

In case you're wondering what my first experience at Sociological Perspectives was like:

  1. All R&Rs, no matter how much work needs to be done, must be returned within 60 days. The editor is sometimes willing to give you a 3 or 4 day extension, and that's it.
  2. The reviewers (I had) are micromanagers who want to rewrite the paper for you, and in at least one case, will forget what they told you to do the last time.
  3. The editor gives no guidance whatsoever.

Hey @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, could use some accessible writing)

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.

@ct_bergstrom This is how you know that a journal views themselves as "serious" science. In sociology, researchers compete to see who has the best puns and portmanteaus and jokes in their titles.

Deleted post notification: I deleted a post about how generative AI gave me new insight into a Springsteen song that I’ve heard hundreds of times. (Yes, of course the AI didn’t actually KNOW anything about the song. It just prompted me to think a different way.) Anyway, the pile-on for even exploring generative AI wasn’t worth it. Rest easy. It’s gone now.

(Followers will know that I’m a generative AI skeptic — so all the more interesting when it does stimulate interesting thought)

Inspired by @writingmonicker, I wanted to reflect on my first !

💐 The conference was overwhelmingly positive for me, so I wanted to express gratitude to all the organizers, mentors, friends, and kind souls that made it so.

💡But, as someone focused on social change, I pondered a few things that would make a more equitable experience for all.

📝 Finally, I wanted to process in public ideas for students (aka: me in the future) to make the most out of it!

@jonathanhorowi1@sciences.social avatar

@angela @JaclynSWong @writingmonicker Yeah, the convention site is pretty close to Chinatown. Montreal is also a good place to get the world's best bagels (sorry, NYC) and something called "smoked meat" which I don't think is actually smoked (it's cut like corned beef, cured like pastrami, and incredibly delicious)

The more we see the hyper-mutated BA.2.86 variant showing up, especially at a time with diminished surveillance, now 6 countries and ~2% from wastewater in 1 Swiss region, the more troubling it looks—not like it's going to fizzle away.

@erictopol This one might be the one that breaks through and blows us up again, or it might not. But I don't find it reassuring that policymakers and the public seem to be willing to wait around for COVID to come up with a formula that kills us in large numbers again.

“The replication crisis is less of a ‘crisis’ in the Lakatosian approach than it is in the Popperian and naïve methodological falsificationism approaches”

@MarkRubin

A student asked me what I thought of psychology's "replication crisis" recently. I replied that it was because experimental psychology at its core thinks it is like physics, where there are universal laws of behavior that are mechanically the same across time and subpopulations. They know that their theories don't work but they don't realize that it's because a foundational assumption (universalism) applies to fewer things. They think it's because of methods.

Philadelphia is probably the best fit for ASA of any of the places it has been held. Easy to get to, hotels aren't too expensive, right next to Chinatown, good convention center. Only other places that compared were Chicago and Denver (which sadly won't happen again anytime soon).

@kjhealy I saw an amazing article a year ago about how people entering university are now used to search being so awesome that they don't need to learn about directory structures in order to find their stuff. They just punch in the search term and the computer will probably find it.

@petrescatraian @jimbob @kjhealy When I was a grad student at UNC the university had a contract with Wordpress that let you create your own webpage on the unc.edu domain. If your university does that, then it's super simple and free and you have no excuses.

Now that I'm an assistant professor at a school where it isn't that easy, I use Google Sites. If I ever go on the job market again I might pay for my own domain name. But I'm not sure it matters.

I am trying to find my people on Mastodon. Can you please boost this if you:

-Believe that strawberries could be bigger and that farmers are simply not working hard enough to grow massive strawberries.
-Lie awake at night wondering if the trillions of insects will one day unite to overthrow the human race.
-Suspect that volcanoes are hiding something beneath all that magma.
-Find Tilda Swinton to be terrifying yet oddly attractive.
-Think that you could defeat 50 Smurfs in hand-to-hand combat.
