🎄 Still looking for a gift for your favourite social scientist? How about a #preprint with 717 urban areas, 30 countries, and 16,164 models of #Immigrant #Segregation across Europe? Just published with @kasimirdederichs.bsky.social & David Kretschmer 🎅 🎁 Wrapped up here: arxiv.org/abs/2512.17037

How can analytical sociology harness the computational social science revolution? 🔆 👉Observe behavior in actual social environments, capture interdependent dynamics, follow up cumulative effects 🔗Access chapter 5 on strengthening mechanism-based explanations of macro phenomena osf.io/preprints/so...

New paper out with @kchihaya.bsky.social and @eduardotapia.bsky.social. We show how a tendency to move near kin can preserve patterns of segregation, using a combination of discrete choice models and micro-simulations applied to the case of immigrants and their descendants living in Stockholm.

That’s a wrap on IC2S2’25! 🎉 Thank you for an unforgettable week of ideas and discussions. Congratulations to our award winners, and safe travels home. Mark your calendars: #ic2s2 ’ 26 heads to Burlington, Vermont, in the US. See you next year!

Attending #IC2S2 or following along from home? Here's a feed of all the posts using the relevant hashtags or mentioning the conference account! (I'm feeling very strong FOMO and am relying on all of you there in person to post as much as possible!)

Nice new paper in PNAS providing further evidence that random/long ties help social contagions — even many that would be labeled "complex contagions" www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... @davidlazer.bsky.social

This is a fairly technical but highly relevant paper on how we can model complex systems at various levels of detail without losing causal content. Think gas: instead of tracking every molecule, we can focus on big-picture properties like temperature and pressure. www.auai.org/uai2017/proc...

#IC2S2 2025 is just around the corner! July 21–24 in Norrköping, Sweden. Bookmark tutorials, keynotes, and must-see sessions and connect with fellow attendees using #IC2S2. Full program here: www.ic2s2-2025.org/program/ See you in Norrköping! 🇸🇪

Networks, Migration, Climate, and lots of exciting Statistical Models: Come work with on a potpourri of these topics as a POSTDOC in a joint project between TOULOUSE and ZURICH: it'll be even more exciting than it sounds: tinyurl.com/climatenetmig

The deadline for submissions to the special issue honoring Richard Breen has been postponed to August 31st

As some of you guessed, the two models are statistically indistinguishable. The answer is Model 1, but there was no way to tell from the data. I was very surprised when I first saw this. Here we show that this confounding of heterogeneity and reinforcement is general: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

🧵1/8 In our new #OA article, we studied the drivers of ethnic school segregation. Research on segregation often points to parental preferences, but what if it's not just about what parents want, but also what options they actually have? 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/esr/jcaf027
