New article w/ @jenjirayahirun.bsky.social: Exogamous 2nd gen immigrants in Sweden live further from parents than do endogamous immigrants, but closer than natives. But in terms of residential choices, exogamous immigrants are least likely to move near parents.

📄✨In a new article @jenjirayahirun.bsky.social & @benjarvis.bsky.social show that exogamous 2nd gen immigrants in Sweden live further from parents than do endogamous immigrants, but closer than natives. In terms of residential choices, exogamous immigrants are least likely to move near parents.

Our team had an amazing week at @ic2s2.bsky.social in Norrköping Sweden and we will post pictures of our posters and talks soon - the big news is that we're so excited to host #IC2S2 in Burlington in 2026! youtu.be/p412S4GnPkc

That’s a wrap on IC2S2’25! 🎉 Thank you for an unforgettable week of ideas and discussions. Congratulations to our award winners, and safe travels home. Mark your calendars: #ic2s2 ’ 26 heads to Burlington, Vermont, in the US. See you next year!

Prediction and explanation, together. Duncan Watts opened our final day with a keynote on “Integrating explanation and prediction in computational social science,” showing how pairing causal insight with predictive testing can push computational social science forward. #ic2s2

Arnout van de Rijt gave Day 2 a strong ending with his keynote, “Luck and success in millions of life courses.” Do early strokes of luck widen life-course income gaps? This keynote offered fresh causal evidence on chance and inequality. #ic2s2

Day 2 Keynotes. How can computational methods sharpen our grasp of culture? In Amir Goldberg’s inspiring keynote, he showed how computational methods reveal hidden cultural patterns. #ic2s2

Day 2 Keynotes kicked off with Laura Nelson's inspiring presentation, “Why Qualitative Research Needs Computational Social Science”. What is the state of this maturing field called qualitative computational methods? What are the ongoing debates and futures? #ic2s2

With record-breaking submissions and our most competitive, gender-balanced program on record, #IC2S2’25 has officially started! Please check the updated program and plan your day. #ic2s2

don’t these look pretty? when I did my MSc at @iasliu.bsky.social’s then-just-begun CSS program many of these early graduates were our (very friendly and patient) TAs. Nice to see what they were up to beyond dealing with us, and the pool of graduates from IAS growing.
