Thrilled to share that our paper (w/ @garyadler.bsky.social) in Social Forces, “Religious Rebound, Political Backlash, and the Youngest Cohort: Understanding Religious Change in Turkey,” received the Distinguished Article Award from @sssreligion.bsky.social!

Research + teaching + student = great partnership. Also why I love my job @pennstateuniv.bsky.social Keep an eye on @ienesatac.bsky.social! It was a fun weekend at @sssreligion.bsky.social

Thrilled and honored that my book Religion for Realists was given the 2025 Distinguished Book Award by @sssreligion.bsky.social last night. It’s vital that we understand religion and religious people. The social sciences are remiss to ignore either. Hire more religion specialists.

I’m teaching a Social Problems class this summer and wondering how others address AI use in their syllabi. I don’t want to ban it because it feels inevitable and not realistic. But I want students to focus on their ideas and use AI only for minor things. Maybe this is too naive I don’t know.

This is up there with the craziest survey design I’ve seen.

I am thrilled to share that I received the Lombra Outstanding Graduate Research Award from @psuliberalarts.bsky.social for the best article published by a graduate student in the social sciences. I’m incredibly grateful to Charles Seguin and @garyadler.bsky.social for their support and nomination.

Excited to share my new article in the American Journal of Political Science (@ajpseditor.bsky.social)! "Endogenous Opposition: Identity and Ideology in Kuwaiti Electoral Politics" explores how authoritarian elections generate opposition to incumbent autocrats. Link: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ukrer...

Fascinating paper: partisan segregation is not due to sorting/migration. Counties trending Democratic tend to so because of generational change; Counties trending Republican tend to do so because of party switching. www.nber.org/papers/w33422

There's a new invite from @ruthbraunstein.bsky.social to submit to @sssreligion.bsky.social's 2025 Annual Meeting in your email inboxes. I'm the program chair this year! Wanted to highlight one key quote for #socsky people here interested in religion - we want your cool ideas!

I’m thrilled to share that my first academic publication is out @sfjournal.bsky.social In this paper, with @garyadler.bsky.social, we analyze religious identity and behavior over time to analyze the secularization question in Turkey. 1/n academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...

I’ve decided it’s time to invest in an ergonomic office setup (as a broke grad student). Despite exercising regularly, I’ve been dealing with shoulder and lower back pain, likely from long hours of sitting. What are your fav desks, chairs, monitors, etc. Would love to hear what’s worked for you!

Ok: 1 like = 1 demographic fact* * may include estimates, generalizations, dataviz, or unsubstantiated claims

In a classic experiment, 12 articles were resubmitted to same journals in which they had already been published - - 3 were recognized as resubmissions. ✅ - 8 of the 9 articles reviewed again were rejected, often due to "serious methodological flaws"! 😮 😕 ⁉️ www.cambridge.org/core/journal... 🧪

If you ever get curious about how it’s like to drive during the lake effect 😅 and with the best snow song ever #iykyk

Now, I know what ‘lake effect’ means :)

Our study on religiosity during the pandemic was just assigned an issue: academic.oup.com/socrel/artic... We show how a switch to web surveys during COVID-19 skewed estimates, creating a misleading illusion of rapid religious decline driven by nonresponse bias among the most religious.

okay everybody, I just created a new starter pack on scholars (probably mostly sociologists for now) who work on religion, culture, and/or politics. Please let me know if I missed you or if you want me to add anyone else: go.bsky.app/EAV2G9G

It seems that there was no Sociology Journals starter pack, so we created one: go.bsky.app/93ta3Gs -- do let us know which journals we missed!

A quick #intro 🦋: I study intergroup relations, religion, and politics in both Western and non-Western contexts, using quantitative and computational methods. Check out my first publication @sfjournal.bsky.social with @garyadler.bsky.social, where we explore religious change over time in Turkey.

I'm recruiting 1-2 PhD students to work with me at the University of Colorado Boulder! Looking for creative students with interests in #NLP and #CulturalAnalytics. Boulder is a lovely college town 30 minutes from Denver and 1 hour from Rocky Mountain National Park 😎 Apply by December 15th!

Here's my starter pack on immigration public opinion. Let me know if I missed you or if you want me to add anyone else: go.bsky.app/BaL6ypv

Excited to share a new preprint (accepted for publication in Group Processes and Intergroup Relations)! In prior work, we've found that thinking about God increase cross-religious prosociality. Here we ask: But what about when intergroup conflict is salient? osf.io/preprints/ps...

🗃️ Sociologist here working on a project about Black movement protests in US 1990s & 2000s. (Today specifically Jena Six mobilization n 2007). Hard to find work on this period. Can anyone point me to historians whose work I should check, or specific works? Self-citations extremely welcome.

I made a starter pack for computational sociologists. Please DM if you think you should be added (or taken off!) go.bsky.app/U1Wia61

After having a blast at #SSSReligion, I am on my way to Germany to attend the Immigration, Integration, and Attitudes Workshop hosted by my alma mater #ZEW #MZESUniMannheim. Can’t wait to present my work on anti-immigrant attitudes in Europe. #econsky #polisky #socsky

Excited to be at #SSSR Religion conference in Pittsburgh this weekend, presenting our work on analyzing Friday sermons using LLMs. Join us Saturday morning if you’re around!

Excited to share that @ewarren.bsky.social and I have a paper just out in American Journal of Sociology! doi.org/10.1086/733194

And I thought I was one of the first ones lol

Round 2 is here--The Sociologists have arrived. #SociTwitter #SocLife #AcadLife #AcademicTwitter go.bsky.app/R73omU6

Cultural sociology friends: if you were going to put together a cultural sociology graduate course using ONLY stuff published in 2014 and later (no cheating), what would you put on it? Please don't hesitate to recommend your own work!

Lately, I've seen many articles debating the effectiveness of TWFE models. Are there any review articles that summarize both sides and suggest alternatives, especially when data is fairly limited?

Starter Pack for Social Psychology! Apologies if I made mistakes including/excluding people. I tended to go off BlueSky profile info! Just let me know if you want in or out! 😊 #SocialPsyc #Psychology 🧪

Any recommendations on whether or who to hire a WordPress freelancer for my academic website? I've set up pages, hosting, and domain, but need help making it look more professional. It's a bit overwhelming with so many options and I don't want to spend too much time on it #socsky #polsky #econsky

Good news -- the Pew Research Center starter pack is here! You can follow my smart & witty colleagues here - bsky.app/starter-pack... Please share this Starter Pack with anyone who might want more Pew Research in their feed. 🌐 🧪

Here are a few lists of sociologists in no particular order. Slant towards German and quantitative sociologists. #socsky go.bsky.app/Kr3Rj1D go.bsky.app/EAwwzdk go.bsky.app/EAwwzdk go.bsky.app/Ugw67cP go.bsky.app/9WAVGNd go.bsky.app/4aZkRmJ go.bsky.app/81Hby5t

People love to generalize about the sociology, especially about the prevalence of activist research, political perspectives, and overwrought claims. I wish my new paper with Micah Altman, "The State of Sociology: Evidence from Dissertation Abstracts" answered these questions. osf.io/preprints/so...
