#sociology Was an honor to be steward for this journal. One of the most rewarding and creative endeavors I’ve participated in.

Check out my latest article in Contexts: From Wonder Woman to Fifty Shades journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Check out @gokceyurdakul.bsky.social's excellent review of @mlamont.bsky.social's Seeing Others: How Recognition Works and How It Can Heal a Divided World & @ruha9.bsky.social's Viral Justice: How We Grow the World We Want in the newest issue of @contexts.org - journals.sagepub.com/doi/epdf/10....

The new norm is seems to wait till the day or two before a paper is done and then put the professor in an untenable position to decide what to do. And when you don’t get the extension make the accommodations people put pressure on you. Why assign a paper and a deadline if it is just up to students?

In a class of 42 students (minus 6 that are grad students). I’ve had 9 asks for extensions. Maybe 10.

Ah, the annual day-before-paper is due late rush to tell me about some persisting medical issue that has finally taken its toll and please, give me an extension. How about I give everyone an extension to the day before I turn grades in? Why even have deadlines?

Exciting opportunity for young #sociologists looking to try their hand at writing #sociological theory!

@sethabrutyn.bsky.social wrote this thread about 6 months ago, about a post contrasting classics vs model based fields. Down-thread, Seth notes that he doesn't care about Hegel or Kant. I promised a post articulating why I think he should. Here it is! thesilverlining3.substack.com/p/tarrying-w...
