*Sequence Analysis in the Social Sciences* with @emstruffolino.bsky.social & @raabm.bsky.social. 🗓️ 21-22 & 28-29 October 2026 🏢 Online 🌐 t1p.de/SequenceAnal...

Join the #sequenceanalyisis #GESISworkshop @gesistraining.bsky.social with @raabm.bsky.social and myself to describe, visualize & analyze sequences — hands-on in R with real-world examples, November 2025, info training.gesis.org?site=pDetail...

I've written a short blog post introducing "The Art of Visualization with ggplot2"! This book is all about the end-to-end process of creating charts with #ggplot2 📊 including data wrangling, sketching, and styling your plots! nrennie.rbind.io/blog/art-of-... #RStats #DataViz #TidyTuesday

Some good news to brighten up your feed: Our #R package 📦 DemoKin for the demographic analysis of kinship has a new website with extensive documentation and literature 🎉🎈 @mpidr.bsky.social If you don't know it yet, why not check it out? ivanwilli.github.io/DemoKin/inde...

1/2 Back from #PAA. Saw many sequence analysis applications — not all with great visualization. No need to overcomplicate: #TraMineR (base R) and #ggseqplot (CRAN update just out) offer solid tools for clear, appealing sequence data viz. @seqanalysisassn.bsky.social @popassocamerica.bsky.social

📣 new #article Housing cost burden of migrants and natives across the income distribution. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... Key findings ▪️ rent burden is distributed increasingly unequal ▪️ the polarization is more pronounced among migrants ▪️ migrants faced steeper rent hikes than natives

I am happy to share my paper about "Young adults' gendered trajectories of routine housework time when leaving home" that I did with @raabm.bsky.social in JMF (@ncfr.bsky.social). Please spread the word! doi.org/10.1111/jomf...

The big genealogical database #FamiLinx, which contains extensive demographic and #kinship information, offers much promise for demographic research but careful sample #selection is necessary. www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol...

It is finally alive! The almighty database of our mapineq.eu -Horizon Europe project. Design and implementation by @melindacmills.bsky.social and Doug Leisure, hosted at University of Groningen. 1/3

Radiating exuberant euphoria 🥳🎉🥂, I announce that our study with initial results from the #KINMATRIX survey has been published 👉 doi.org/10.1111/jomf.... KINMATRIX is a unique new source of ego-centric network data that offers unprecedented scope and detail in mapping family relations. #Demography

Sociologists agree: "We find that millionaire tax flight is occurring, but only at the margins of statistical and socioeconomic significance." doi.org/10.1177/0003...

In our paper, we adapt @joannapepin.bsky.social's visualization of U.S. couples' money arrangements to the German context. Using German Family Panel data, we show how these arrangements vary by cohort and age group. Replication files + high-res plot: github.com/maraab23/Cou... #FReDA #pairfam

I did a visualization of the development of housework time in West and East Germany with the German Time Use Study, 1991-2022. Available from @socarxiv.bsky.social : doi.org/10.31235/osf... Hope someone finds it useful! #sociology #demography
