Once again offering to meet with folks at #ASA2025 in Chicago starting Saturday. If you need someone to read your cover letter or talk about the job market or just to sit quietly and keep you company during what can be a very stressful time, reach out. I'll buy coffee/tea. #sociology

I've never regretted sending a note of thanks or congratulations.

Never change, Vanderbilt

Another defense of "intellectual diversity" that doesn't reckon with what this would mean in the areas that most students at U.S. universities study, such as engineering, business, health sciences, computer science, data science, economics, etc. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/o...

Dr. @mosbornesoc.bsky.social has written an excellent book about how social mobility feels for first-generation and low income college students on elite campuses. A must read for scholars in education, inequality, mobility, and more. Also a great guest! Listen below and read the book!

Smart state legislatures are investing in their public universities, from flagships to regionals. Pass it on.
