It’s publication day!!🎊 In a new Urban Affairs Review @urbanaffairsreview.bsky.social piece, Rebecca Johnson, Tyler Simko @simko.bsky.social & I ask: How do you measure conflict in local politics in the United States? journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Prof Skocpol making a crucial point here. The centralized police. And then the lawless quasipolice who guard the camps. Trump’s death bill moves the US towards those two thresholds, well known from Germany in the 1930s. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/criti...

A pleasure to meet the wonderful faculty and students of CREST Paris and to get to hear their comments on my work with Krystal Laryea and the Civic Life of Cities Lab (civiclifeofcities.org). Great group!

Stand Up for Science in Lyon 🪧 Solidarity with our US colleagues is not noble but necessary. Academia is so globally integrated nowadays that an attack against science anywhere is an attack against science everywhere! À la prochaine ! @standupforscifr.bsky.social @standupforscience.bsky.social

​A French university is offering funding to American scientists concerned about potential censorship under the Trump administration. ​ 🔗 www.404media.co/french-unive...

When Donald Trump threatens student protests, consider why: throughout modern history, student movements have repeatedly been the catalyst that toppled dictatorships. Authoritarian leaders fear campus activism precisely because it works. Below is a list of 36 student-led pro-democracy movements.🧵

I’m worried that many Americans have no idea what democracy even means, why it’s important, how it relates to our nation’s history, which is barely taught to begin with. Dems should be running civic workshops and teach-ins to explain, wild as it seems, why democracy is better than a dictatorship.

A panel on the Treasury this Thursday, with the incredible @epopppp.bsky.social and @abenewman.bsky.social. This is not just for academics. Everyone needs to understand what's happening right now. Spread the word!

If today's (tonight's?) ASA Virtual Mini-Conference is on your agenda, make sure to come to this terrific panel on Climate & Society, co-organized by Ioana Sendroiu and myself. With the wonderful Rachel Shwom as discussant, could a panel get any better? #climate #sociology @asanews.bsky.social

The @ethnoat.bsky.social is, hands down, the best resource and community for ethnographic work in management and organizations! Makes me wish I were an ethnographer (and didn't just collaborate with them).

1/ Excited to see this paper with the incredible Patrick Bergemann out in the American Journal of Sociology. We argue that a sense of ownership in a community—what we call territoriality—shapes the emergence of social norms in consequential ways. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...
