Tell all of your friends! Come join me in Ann Arbor for the annual user conference! This year we are collaborating with @umichstonecid.bsky.social for a special section on inequality. Works in progress welcome and encouraged!!

New paper alert! Our faculty affiliate @reeddeangelis.bsky.social was featured by @umisr.bsky.social. His paper, authored with faculty affiliate @rigbydavid.bsky.social and four other colleagues, is out in Epidemiology, finds there may be no safe level of air pollution exposure

The Stone Center at MIT is hiring another postdoc! This is a GREAT job: the work is interesting and creative, and you’ll have time for your own research, too. I think a sociologist or historian working on technology/inequality (broadly defined) would be an especially good fit!!

Hi BlueSky! I am Haowen Zheng, a postdoc at the Stone Center. I work on labor market inequality, spatial and social mobility, and gender topics. Glad to do the social takeover today! I will share what I experience at PAA today and tomorrow.

Cross jurisdictional segregation is consequential for resources available to Black and White residents. @umichstonecid.bsky.social’s @robertmanduca.bsky.social finds despite paying $1242 more in prop taxes, Black Cleveland residents got fewer resources because of a much smaller tax base. #PAA2026

California’s Prop 13 caps property value assessments for current homeowners - these values reset when a house is sold. @joelabriola.bsky.social, @robertmanduca.bsky.social & Pablo Mitnik find older homeowners can save more than $3000 p/year in taxes over younger owners. @umichstonecid.bsky.social

New social media takeover alert! Tomorrow, our own @umichstonecid.bsky.social postdoc @zhenghaowen.bsky.social will be sharing her experiences at #PAA2026 on Friday and Saturday.🥳 Learn about Haowen and her work at: haowenzhg.github.io

The narratives of urban fiscal crisis in Michigan shifted from framing financial distress as a structural issue to blaming cities themselves. As this talk shows, this "incompetence story" gained dominance by the 1980s. Feat. @motorres.bsky.social at @umichstonecid.bsky.social buff.ly/Fl3KQr3

Tuesday! We're excited to join @um-src.bsky.social for our own Faculty Affiliate @spattersearch.bsky.social's talk! ⬇️

A funeral assistance fund for homicide victims in Philly would be great, but hopefully it avoids the problems of state compensation programs and their strict eligibility criteria. See "Racial Disparities in Victim Compensation Among Homicide Survivors in the United States" in Race and Justice:

Our own Stone Center Faculty Affiliate of @um-taubmancollege.bsky.social Lan Deng was quoted in in a Detroit @freep.com article exploring why rent costs are rising across Michigan’s mid-size cities. #HousingAffordability #RealEstate #AcademicSky Read the story: myumi.ch/qZ7zE

We are pumped to have this paper finally out in these streets!

Overview of new study by @jeremylevine.bsky.social & Sam Dickman about systemic failures for sexual assault victims. ‘Our findings suggest that policies requiring police verification and cooperation, as well as extensive documentation, prevent survivors from accessing compensation,’ noted Levine.

Bureaucratic hurdles and racial disparities restrict access to victim compensation for adult survivors of sexual assault, deepen justice system inequities, and compound trauma, according to a new study published by our own @jeremylevine.bsky.social and co-author Sam Dickman in the AJPH (🧵1/2).
