Very excited to be part of this effort to change the game. Nine great teams reimagining what our economy could look like. Check it out. #GamgChangersPolicy

Excited to have been a part of this! A set of detailed policy proposals for how to get us out of this mess. On topics including health/child care, worker voice/power, climate change, financial regulation, immigration, and housing - and more. First set out on July 6. gamechangerspolicy.org

So @darializaforny.bsky.social is a PhD candidate in Sociology at CUNY. For the sociologists and Congress-watchers: would she be the first-ever soc PhD candidate in Congress? Are there currently any other ABD congressfolk? And: will her committee understand that this could extend her timeline?

I'm still bitter that I didn't get parental leave as a postdoc at Brown.

This seems to be the year of municipal social housing mayors! 51st.news/janeese-lewi...

To explain why the mayor map is so great: here's a party delegate contest that shows that a narrow progressive win usually looks like: the establishment gets rich, poor, and suburban-lite neighborhoods, progressives get the rest. But Janeese won the poor neighborhoods tonight.

New research with @urbandemos.bsky.social and @actionlabny.bsky.social shows how the Green New Deal for Public Housing Act and the Homes Act would transform housing in NY, greening and modernizing public housing while building affordable, tenant-controlled homes at scale: nyshousingsolution.com

Ever lived in an NYC apartment and had to crack the window in the middle of winter because it's too hot? These window heat pumps give you control and comfort. And then it gives you A/C in the summer! Great report on how NYCHA is facilitating decarbonization and comfort in your housing

@shelterforce.bsky.social, Timi Koyejo of @cplusc.bsky.social writes on how New York City's #publichousing authority is using its #anchor procurement power "to speed up green retrofits, improve residents’ quality of life, and lower costs." Read more at: shelterforce.org/2026/05/26/w...

“These forced separations are a profound betrayal of the institution’s founding legacy as a sanctuary for critical social thought for scholars fleeing fascism,” Todd Wolfson said. @aaup.org @hyperallergic.com hyperallergic.com/new-school-l...

We have a new forthcoming book! @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social and I have been working with an incredible line up of authors for an edited volume of post-revolutionary science fiction stories. It will be out in about a year, and a great follow up to Everything for Everyone.

NEW: The housing affordability debate has been too narrowly focused on market-unleashing “Abundance” approaches. To help the working class with rent/energy bills, reinvestment in public housing needs to be at the center of the discussion 🧵 stopgreedbuildgreen.climateandcommunity.org/posts/greeni...

My first solo-authored article is out in City & Community! I find that areas with one more residential development permit have 2.7% more low-level arrests in the following year, controlling for crime, calls for service, area demographics, and year effects. doi.org/10.1177/1535...

Really excited to be a part of a new book launch this August~ "The Other Housing Crisis" brings attention to the neglected issue of housing deterioration and makes the case for more investment in home repairs. 🧵 press.princeton.edu/books/paperb...

It’s a dream come true to see our think tank @cplusc.bsky.social profiled in the Guardian! I’m so grateful to the brilliant @dharna.bsky.social for laying out our working class climate agenda. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The IPUMS Excellence in Research Published Award goes to @jessiehimmel.bsky.social & @tvanheuvelen.bsky.social for "Trends in Realized Job Insecurity Rate and Depth in the United States from 1978 to 2022" (doi.org/10.1093/sf/s...).

Honored to receive this award from @ipums.bsky.social for our @sfjournal.bsky.social paper on the last 120 years of segregation Glad to be #poweredbyIPUMS !

New from @pamherd.bsky.social and I: Trump has added work requirements to Medicaid, expanded them in SNAP. Now he is going after public housing. You can do something about it: take 5 mins to write a public comment opposing this change. Instructions enclosed.🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

some things about becoming a parent are radicalizing in ways I expected - e.g being reminded viscerally how screwed we'd all be if childcare and other care work disappeared. but other things are radicalizing in ways I didn't - like experiencing constant spontaneous solidarity in ways big and small

🚨🚨 Today, we’re launching “Stop Greed Build Green,” a strategic framework and agenda to confront the affordability crisis and the climate crisis together by putting working people in charge of the economy and the climate transition. (1/10)

The NSF 2027 budget has noted that they will close out the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Science Program (SBE). This is not a good thing. nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/FY-202...

DC mayoral frontrunner Janeese Lewis George's housing platform: —Zone for high density around Metro —Allow 6-unit apartments districtwide —End parking requirements citywide —Offer pre-approved building designs —Establish a social housing program —Build 72,000 homes in 5 years, double current rate

This is so, so well-articulated.

On Thursday, Florida's Board of Governors removed sociology from the general education curriculum of every university in the state. Chancellor Ray Rodrigues attacked the @asanews.bsky.social as illegitimate. On behalf of sociologists everywhere, I respond to them in today's @miamiherald.com:

Newly published housing research! We find that the effects of new construction on rents varies by the quality of the existing housing. In the first 5 years rents went up 4.4% near low quality buildings and went down 1.7% near high quality buildings (1/x) 🧵 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Hello, Bluesky! I made an account a few years ago and promptly forgot about it, but I've decided to give it a try! Today is exciting because I finally have page proofs for my book, Diversityland, which will come out this August with @ucpress.bsky.social! Can't believe the finish line is in sight!🤩

Introducing Who Owns Atlanta? who-owns-atlanta.org an open-source project mapping the ownership networks of 615k+ properties in and around the City of Atlanta. From the researcher tracking 1000s of parcels to residents trying to find absentee landlords, this is for you. You, too, nosy neighbors.

Florida’s Board of Governors is made up of “political appointees from the business world, from insurance executives to roofing contractors, who are dictating how professors must teach their courses and even providing state-created textbooks for doing so.” My new piece in @truthout.bsky.social

Q: How does new rental construction impact rent prices? A: It depends. New research finds BIG developments: ⬆️ rents of lower-priced units by 4.4%⚠️ ⬇️ rents of higher-priced units by 1.7%. @tonydamiano.bsky.social & Chris Frenier tell us why submarkets matter. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Thank you so much for this honor! All thanks to the wonderful organizers in Philly who let me document these struggles and approach to educational justice in the city!

The first in the @urbandemos.bsky.social Working Paper Series is what we call a “progressive building agenda”. In this case, the goal is to create housing for all, not only for who the market will bear. hdl.handle.net/2451/75567

New working paper that adds to the growing critique of the "deregulationist" approach to singularly solving housing affordability. They argue that instead, the main culprit is growing inequality. researchonline.lse.ac.uk/id/eprint/13...

Check these out! And stay tuned over the coming days for breakdowns of the different proposals. First up: Building Blocks of a Progressive Building Agenda

We are pumped to have this paper finally out in these streets!

Urban sociologists! I'm organizing a Community and Urban Sociology Section session at the 2026 ASA Annual Meeting titled "Housing as an Asset." Please submit extended abstracts or full papers related to topics on homeownership, house values, taxation, mortgages, etc. Deadline is 2/25. bit.ly/3Zx2eez

Awesome new report by Jacob Udell and @ruthygourevitch.bsky.social on the rise of multifamily distress. If we had an SHDA, we'd be ready to convert these to permanently affordable housing

Financial distress in the multifamily market is on the rise in the United States: Multifamily loan delinquencies are at their highest rate in 10 years, having nearly doubled in the last year alone.

More than 5,000 rent-stabilized units connected to the Pinnacle Group are going up for auction in 2026. Residents are warning would-be buyers not to overlook the years of disrepair that made those units unlivable. Read their story: bit.ly/47EBZYw #HousingJustice #RentStrike

Oh dear god no

Published my first Op-Ed w/ Professor Ed Goetz on how the national narrative about Minneapolis misses how zoning and market rate housing are necessary but not sufficient to help lower-income renters 🧵 www.startribune.com/twin-cities-...

I know this is a controversial one, but here is me and Gianpaolo Baiocchi making the case for voting yes on NYC ballot proposals 2-4. www.nydailynews.com/2025/10/31/y...

Think federal government housing aid is focused on low-income families & largely funded by the Department of Housing & Urban Development? Think again. In new work @urbaninstitute.bsky.social, we provide a comprehensive account of the US government's many housing supports, which go far beyond HUD 🏘️
