1/ So you’re thinking about applying for an academic job in the UK but don’t know how? This thread will walk you through the essentials.

The more I write about affect and emotions, and get pushback-gentle or otherwise- from sociologists, the more I think of that Annie Hall scene where woody Allen steals away from his ex wife’s dinner party to watch a knicks game. When confronted why he would watch a bunch of pituitaries instead of

“The Onion stands at the ready to act as a mouthpiece of the world’s elite, using its distinguished reportage to parrot whatever the party line happens to be. Genocide, eugenics, incest—no topic is too taboo to find support in our paper so long as it has been approved by a trustworthy establishment”

#sociology folks, if you have a promising undergrad or a grad student looking to escape the States (and, they are really interested in theory besides other substantive things), I'm happy to talk to them about UBC.

As of today, secretary Kennedy has ordered fluoride to be replaced with viagra in all American water supplies. Big dick energy for everyone!

I blame the French philosophic and social “scientific” schools of the 70s and the American sociological communities acceptance of their drivel for the alternative facts mess we’re in. So many American social scientists fell for Derrida and latours bullshit like maga fell for trumps.

This is the sort of adversarial viewpoint diversity the academy sorely lacks! Solar is too woke, too ideological. A

One underreported thing worth noting is the incredible waste of money and resources that might be put to better use to tilt windmills. Just throwing money around and away to fight over things that seem less important than other things.

Gotta step back sometimes and appreciate the job rush and Fox News did on a significant portion of humans. It turned perfectly normal ppl that might have normal disagreements into blood thirsty heathens. And then Obama broke their brains

Important viewpoint diversity currently missing from the academy!

Herbert Blumer. 1952. For the win.

The thing about rules, if you stop following them or start picking and choosing them, others will feel the same way

I feel like this is an apt quote given the questions facing us about what our society should look like.

Next up, partial bans at home.

Interesting take.

Humility in the face of social media commentary. Let me tell you why this take on the French revolution is the right take, and why the French Revolution was….

a new working paper: osf.io/vsr5b I propose a three-stage model of cohortization where dynamics of cohort learning and political sorting serve as complementary engines of aggregate political change. I apply this to the case of the killing of George Floyd & the BLM. it's also my job market paper!

Sociologists know a lot about things like power, privilege, hierarchy, and inequality. What bothers me is that these terms - and other useful ones like authority - are treated in negative terms. We impose value on them. It is no surprise that the left when in control of govt cannot wield power
