Come join me @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social new BRES Program (hiring 2 senior profs) - cuny.jobs/new-york-ny/... #ASA2025

just got this in the mail yesterday, looking forward to reading it

Fatima Suàrez’s book is officially out with @nyupress.bsky.social. It is an amazing project and evidence of how amazing our intellectual community is at UCSB. Congrats Fatima!!! Available here: nyupress.org/978147982628...

Thrilled to see Raewyn and my new book up at Polity. Easily the greatest experience and honor of my career to work on this book with my academic idol. We have done so many wonderful things in this edition. I hope others love it as much as we have loved writing it. www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?b...

I have to fan-girl for a minute here. My friend @rosvall-lab.bsky.social built an app to gather data on bird behavior during the 2024 solar eclipse. 10,000+ citizen scientists contributed (including my kids), and the resulting paper was published in Science today! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Friends, I couldn't retrieve my guidelines for writing a personal statement for applicants to PhDs, specifically in sociology (though I've been told this is also applicable to other social sciences) so I made a new doc. Hope it's helpful for folks applying! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

What does “lesbian” do — as identity, politics, analytic — in the 21st century? Signs’ fall issue, “Lesbian Studies, Now,” stages the debates shaping feminism’s past, present, and future. Read it here (sub. req’d): www.journals.uchicago.edu/toc/signs/20...

This is who @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social is. Brilliant. Fearless. I fucking hate typing this shit out: Free Eman. Amplify amplify amplify please.

This is an excellent piece from @georgianndavis.bsky.social on the wave of anti-scientific censorship sweeping the country and what it means to teach honestly in the moment.

The first of our colloquium series this year. Standing room only for @victorerikray.bsky.social!!!! An incredible talk by a scholar I have long admired. So wonderful to see him speak now of all moments.

Raewyn and I are about 3/4 through another book. She has also been working on this book. I read a draft that I found fascinating in part b/c of how global it is. Congratulations to a scholar I have read half my life. Very excited she’s still teaching me things. www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?b...

My new article with James Messerschmidt just came out in @femininities.bsky.social building on Raewyn Connell's theorization of "emphasized femininity." I'm including a link here and quoting the @socarxiv.bsky.social's bot sharing our preprint online as well. brill.com/view/journal...

New in Social Forces: @profsamperry.bsky.social new article Secularism, Sorting, and Americans’ Political Knowledge shows secular Americans score highest on civics & politics, especially liberals/Democrats. Evangelicals trend opposite with conservatism. Read it here: doi.org/10.1093/sf/s...

I was so disappointed in Ezra Klein’s decision to platform hate in the aftermath of the Kirk shooting. @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social captures just what I found so awful about his decision in much better words than I would have had. www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply." me on why Ezra Klein should be ashamed / why shame is Good Actually www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

Interesting and important new research project just published examining how different forms of privilege moderate reactions to feminine gender expression exhibited by men. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Raewyn Connell is indeed a lovely and creative scholar. Interesting to read her view of her career intersecting with the personal.

Really lovely tribute to Raewyn Connell, her work, and her enduring legacy in The Sydney Morning Herald. (h/t @mam52.bsky.social) www.smh.com.au/national/rae...

I unpacked Trump’s AI-generated meme of militarized masculinity to show how patriarchal authoritarian authority is crafted through digital spectacle: AI aesthetics coopted to remake masculinities and reinforce violent political fantasies.

[email protected] shared a reel about how discourses of "crisis" frame men's private troubles. It's connected to something I wrote with @sociananthony.bsky.social. So, I put together a short piece engaging with Tressie's smart take. inequalitybyinteriordesign.wordpress.com/2025/09/07/t...

Trump's most recent meme again builds on mediated portrayals of masculinity - this time a truly hateful character from Apocalypse Now. I wrote a post about the patriarchal authoritarian gendered politics of this meme if you're interested. inequalitybyinteriordesign.wordpress.com/2025/09/08/c...

Thousands of protesters marched in Chicago on Saturday against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and President Donald Trump’s plan to send National Guard troops and immigration agents to the city.

Howdy! I’ve got a new @slate.com story, about some really fascinating work researcher @cantonwiner.bsky.social is doing around asexuality and a concept he coined called “gender detachment”

That's quite a paragraph from the WSJ editorial page editors. wsj.com/opinion/dona...

✍️ In grad school, @courtneyboen.bsky.social and I talked often about the emotions that seemed to undergird racism. Trayvon, Tamir, Mike Brown and too many more changed us. Ten years later, our findings in @sfjournal.bsky.social: academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...

I've noticed a trend in requests for tenure reviews, asking letter writers to compare candidates to other "top" scholars at the same career stage. Can we please not do this?!? Making tenure a moving and competitive target risks ratcheting up increasingly untenable expectations for productivity.

It’s finally out! Amazing authors from around the world. A section on gender beyond the binary. The intro will be open access. So proud of the work we did to compile this handbook!

Very excited that Men and Masculinities is officially starting their search for a new editorial team. Kristen, Joseph and I will rotate off our second term at the end of the year. Please share and apply if you're interested. Feel free to reach out: journals.sagepub.com/pb-assets/PD...

A stunning forensic account of how ignorance of vaccine efficacy was systematically manufactured. Steier exposes the anti-vaccine playbook: how flawed studies by discredited researchers created false doubt about vaccine safety, while 40+ rigorous studies of 5.6M+ people found no autism link.

As a masculinities scholar, being on a the same panel with Raewyn Connell is absolutely a dream come true!!! ✧٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧ #ASA2025 #Masculinities

Hey sociologists -- help your far flung colleagues out -- more #ASA2025 #ASA25 posts!

🚨New Blog from @cantonwiner.bsky.social: Does everyone *have* a #gender? "The concept of gender detachment resists the assumption that everyone does (and should) have a gender identity—an assumption I call compulsory gender." #sociology #ASA2025 #ASA25 contexts.org/blog/does-ev...

This is my general rule for sexual assault prevention too. There are always men who want to waltz in and do something insultingly simple. But if the simple thing hasn’t already been done, it’s always because it won’t work.

He's promising to protect the integrity of the data by firing statisticians who follow established methods of data collection and processing whenever those methods yield numbers that don't please the boss.

🆕 & noteworthy from Men and Masculinities: Do men feel less confident caring for kids than women? Yes—but that gap shrinks once they become dads and as kids grow up. Given the chance (& contra stereotypes!), men do develop strong caregiving confidence. 🔗 doi.org/10.1177/1097...

Bluesky is hearing it first! 🚨 here is my first first author publication🚨 Read more about how masculinity functions as a barrier to men's entry into sex ed courses 👀 doi.org/10.1177/1097...

I just got an email informing me that my Annual Review on structural racism with @tyson-brown.bsky.social and @pahoman.bsky.social is open access. So, download away.

How have you been impacted by the changes we've seen under the current administration? What would you want to say to those in charge? I'm launching a new research initiative to collect and share anonymous stories of the human toll. And I'd be very grateful for your help. tinyurl.com/thehumantoll

Man Up author ‪@milleridriss.bsky.social‬ talks to ‪@jenrubin.bsky.social‬ ‪@contrariannews.org about the intersection of far-right ideologies & misogyny, young men’s vulnerabilities to influencers, the neo-natalist movement & male supremacy, and how on child predators harms the LGBTQ+ community.

Powerful work assembling the facts and voices and making the case--that Trump indeed has a great deal to hide.
