Do streaming platforms trap us in cultural filter bubbles? We like to think so but the evidence says otherwise. In a new paper @abelaussant.bsky.social and I find the use of streaming platform to be associated with an increase in consumption diversity. sociologicalscience.com/articles-v12...

Do people have less #Kids because of the #ClimateCrisis? 🌍👶 In our preprint, @katyaoivanova.bsky.social and I find that environmentalists are less likely to have kids in their 20s and 30s... But by their early 40s, the gap closes. Maybe it's rather about #Postponement? 🕰️ 🔗 doi.org/10.31235/osf...

a new working paper: osf.io/vsr5b I propose a three-stage model of cohortization where dynamics of cohort learning and political sorting serve as complementary engines of aggregate political change. I apply this to the case of the killing of George Floyd & the BLM. it's also my job market paper!
