I’m delighted to share that the August 2025 special issue of Sociological Methods & Research on Generative AI is out now. Along with my co-editor, Daniel Karell, we put together this issue to build on the conference we organized last year. Here's a thread on each of the ten papers:

So happy to see this surprising work out. Terrific job by Amar D'Adamo and his supervisor @anatajadura.bsky.social, with the help of Lize de Coster and myself. We show that social support networks shape body perception: larger networks weaken the illusion and link to higher body image satisfaction!

Good. B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights will pay a heavy price for this, which is light as a feather

Faculty publication rates peak before tenure. Post-tenure, output stays high in lab-based fields but drops in others (i.e. sociology) and faculty produce more novel work but fewer highly cited papers www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
