I'm trying to find some sociology papers to bring into my intro statistics course for grad students. Straightforward quant analyses where the data are publicly available. Does anyone have any suggestions?

My university is removing our landlines from our offices to save costs. The thing is I ripped my landline out of the wall the moment I got here because it rang and I didn’t know how to use it.

October is up! It kicks off with six research notes—on educational assortative mating, migrant grit, use of EHR data, etc.—followed by a baker’s dozen of articles—on skin tone stratification, distribution of carceral harm, care gaps, daily diversity flows & more.
