Women leave academia at higher rates than men at every career stage, and attrition is especially high among three groups: tenured faculty, women in non-STEM fields, and women employed at less prestigious institutions, a #ScienceAdvances analysis finds.

Great podcast with @ericklinenberg.bsky.social and Kellie Carter Jackson on the importance of physical spaces for community www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/arc...

Our recent paper, in ASR: While many sociologists assume that people turn to their “strong ties” when they need a confidant, people are actually as likely to avoid as to talk to their closest friends and family. doi.org/10.1177/0003... 1/

Our latest paper, in PNAS, makes a case for studying what makes people travel to neighborhoods racially different from their own. Maybe some places help counter residential segregation. We found some surprises. 1/ www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....

Social scientists: Do you use SafeGraph? Our latest paper does a quality assessment of (one aspect of) the popular large-scale dataset. A few serious problems and what to do about them. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

I keep thinking about @marioluissmall.bsky.social’s brilliant book Unanticipated Gains and what the fragmentation of the last 4 years—both IRL and online—means for lost capacity

Interesting piece by @marioluissmall.bsky.social on the implications of new/big data sources in social science. Focused mostly on social media (for good reason), but I think it applies to other data, too. To me, big idea is: We gotta rethink how we interpret results. muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/articl...

More sociologists should return to this topic. Loneliness, isolation, anomie, the lack of someone to talk to---these are socially structured problems. www.wsj.com/articles/lon...

I wouldn't miss the new book by @marioluissmall.bsky.social and @jessicacalarco.bsky.social "Qualitative Literacy: A Guide to Evaluating Ethnographic and Interview Research" www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520...

I could not be less surprised by this. I am a data point. I've watched so many (and I mean TOO MANY) of my women colleagues experience the same. Women networks in academia are so fragile because there's never a sense of security or permanence. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
