A Dutch study explores a key barrier to social integration: strong in-group preferences. One hopeful exception: young people don’t have strong preferences for people of their own ethnicity when it comes to sports activities. In PNAS Nexus: academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

New paper, using conjoint experiments to study ingroup preferences across multiple settings (neighborhoods, civic orgs, sports clubs) and social dimensions (age, ethnicity, education). We also link people's choices in the experiments to the real-world contexts they are embedded in. More info 👇

🚨 New pre-print with @sergioloiacono.bsky.social We ran 3 large-scale experiments in 🇬🇧to investigate how perceived asylum-seeking legality, public preferences for refugee relocation, and inclusionary attitudes are shaped by symbolic and strategic boundaries doi.org/10.31235/osf...

Excited and grateful to launch my ERC project #SOCIO-CLIMP 🌍🌤️ The project explores how #ClimateChange and #EnvironmentalHazards unequally affect different socio-demographic groups 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 across Europe — combining spatial climate data with demographic detail to uncover patterns of #ClimateInjustice.

Do people have less #Kids because of the #ClimateCrisis? 🌍👶 In our preprint, @katyaoivanova.bsky.social and I find that environmentalists are less likely to have kids in their 20s and 30s... But by their early 40s, the gap closes. Maybe it's rather about #Postponement? 🕰️ 🔗 doi.org/10.31235/osf...

Is there a religious revival in England? @sriucl.bsky.social's David Voas raises questions about a recent report claiming that Gen Z is leading a rise in church attendance after decades of religious decline. It appears the devil is in the data. Read more here: tinyurl.com/2zptnnw3

🧵1/8 In our new #OA article, we studied the drivers of ethnic school segregation. Research on segregation often points to parental preferences, but what if it's not just about what parents want, but also what options they actually have? 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/esr/jcaf027

Hurray!

Very exited to share the amazing 🚀line-up for our QSS and CLS Seminar series @sriucl.bsky.social🎓 Weekly talks on #SocialScience topics like #Inequality, #Protests, #Migration, #EducationalMobility, #Ethnicity, and #Eugenics 📊 Wednesdays, 1–2pm (hybrid). Register: forms.microsoft.com/e/fHEP73Jdmz

📢 My paper w Aron Szekely on honour-based violence is published online (Open Access): journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.... We explain this puzzling phenomenon applying game-theory and testing it using large-scale data on norms and actual femicides. @sriucl.bsky.social @uclsociology.bsky.social

Happy to share that this article is now published (after a long time)! It’s often claimed that welfare generosity attracts immigration. But looking at flows between 160 countries, I found little support. Other factors like GDP or democracy matter more. academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...

🚨New article🔥 🗳️ What helped close the turnout gender gap after female enfranchisement? ▶️ We study a 1933 lottery that assigned newly enfranchised women as poll officers and its impact on their voting in 1936. One of my favourite projects! 🎉 @upf.edu @politiquesupf.bsky.social

New research by @sriucl.bsky.social's David Voas in @sfjournal.bsky.social provides novel evidence on what has been happening to religion in the U.S. Contrary to claims that religion is changing rather than declining, David shows that secularization has so far been understated: shorturl.at/I6FD9

Social norms of revenge exist across the world. How do such norms emerge and stabilize, given the severe societal costs associated with them? @sriucl.bsky.social visitor Aron Szekely provides answers in a hybrid seminar on Wed 12 February 13:00-14:00. Link to register: shorturl.at/4qToO
