Reminder! First review date is Feb. 28 - just two days from now.

I am so excited to be part of this incredible group of incoming Russell Sage Foundation @russellsagefdn.bsky.social Visiting Scholars.

Since so many of us are inside & online, it's auspicious the final book cover just came in.

Happy to share our new paper published in PNAS! Using epigenetic clocks and egocentric network data, we find each additional "hassler" in your close social network is associated with ~9 months of extra biological age and 1.5% faster pace of aging.

New Postdoctoral Research Associate positions at @Princeton's Office of Population Research!

VERSION 2.0 of the Segregation Tracking Project is here! New data on racial and economic segregation between neighborhoods and schools over the last 30+ years for every school district, metro area, state, county, congressional district (new!), and more! edopportunity.org/segregation/

What a tremendous loss. I saw so grateful to get to know Ernest during my time at Notre Dame. Prayers to his family, his memory and his work are a blessing.

Three #SOGIData notes that I think folks who critique surveys likely know but seem to forget 1. Questions & optimal measures may change dependent on audience. If it is national or includes mostly cis het pop of all ages, that is very different than community specific!

Today I'm releasing probably the most important scholarly thing I've ever worked on - a report based on talking with 144 people about why they don't vote or only vote regularly, and on what needs to be done to build a democracy that can include everyone. www.swarthmore.edu/u... please share!

Sociologists: Are you aware of any publicly available interview transcript data that I could use for teaching qualitative coding in a graduate methods course? I've found multiple repositories of interview data, but they all (understandably) require students to go through IRB.

The rollout of broadband internet led to increases in suicidal ideation, particularly for adolescent girls: www.nber.org/papers/w3461...

Don't forget! Please apply! 📢 ✨ FFCWS Postdoc opportunity I'm leading at Notre Dame! apply.interfolio.com/178605

In the early 90s this Jewish family kept getting harassed in Montana, so the entire town of Billings put up menorahs in their windows in solidarity Now Ahmed al Ahmed is part of this tradition too, as he figuratively did the most putting up of a menorah in the window that a human being can ever do

In 1931 in Kiel, Germany, Rachel Posner, the wife of a rabbi, took this picture. On the back of the photograph she wrote: “‘Death to Judah,’ so the flag says. ‘Judah lives forever,’ so the light answers.” The light will continue to answer the darkness. Happy Hanukkah.

I’m hiring a postdoc! Flexible in terms of details, but I’m looking for someone to collaborate with on research about labor market inequality. I’ll review applications as they come in and the posting just went up here: apply.interfolio.com/178873

Sociologists & Demographers: My program is considering changing how we approach qualifying exams in the age of ChatGPT. How have your departments adjusted to this new world? Have you made changes? What’s your approach?

We are so lost.

I'm facilitating a causal inference reading group next semester for Sociology PhD students. (I will also be learning!) If there are (1) pedagogical articles or (2) empirical examples in soc that you ❤️, will you share in the comments? [And please RT to help me crowd-source!]

Super stoked about this: Schilt, Kristen, D’Lane R. Compton, and Khoa Phan. Forthcoming. “Thinking Sex in Sociology: Sexualities Research in the 21st Century.” American Review of Sociology. #bucketlisting

Faculty misconduct changes what students study and whether they finish. Universities say they want stronger pipelines into male-dominated fields, but historically have papered over and tolerated behavior that punctures them.

Nice summary of our paper and related work by @tomdee.bsky.social and @kslungaardmumma.bsky.social here. www.chalkbeat.org/2025/11/10/i...

🚨 New paper: “The Bodily Scars of Legal Violence: Local immigration enforcement, state immigrant policy, & health inequality” 🚨 Forthcoming in @sfjournal.bsky.social w @ngraetz.bsky.social @atheendar.bsky.social & Robin Ortiz academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...

I'd love to help make BlueSky one of the places where young scholars introduce themselves and their work to the world. If you're a PhD student whose work at least partially focuses on economics of education or education policy, reply to this thread and I'll highlight your work.

Are you working in #LGBTQ related research topics?! Come visit us in Melbourne next year!! While there is an applied/econ focus, the summit will be more multidisciplinary than most ;) Also there are a handful of scholarships available! @jankabatek.com @mckay.mobi @aeacsqiep.bsky.social

I read a draft of this from @profince.bsky.social a while back, but it's changed for the better in revisions. This is a really useful engagement, critique, and extension of my theory that I'm going to have to cite a bunch. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

WE'RE HIRING! The Gender & Women's Studies Dept at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is hiring a TT professor of GENDER AND AGING I'm on the search committee and happy to answer questions Please share widely!

Fascism only works if it has a social base. I wrote a book about efforts across the country to organize predominantly white communities away from this base. How? By showing them their shared stake in fighting for racial and economic justice. The book is out Jan 2026. @surj.org

We're hiring in wonderful Copenhagen 🇩🇰 Two or more open rank sociology professorships (tt assistant, associate with tenure, or full prof with tenure). You'll join a leading sociology department in Europe with many core fields represented! #sociology More 👇 jobportal.ku.dk/videnskabeli...

✍️ In grad school, @courtneyboen.bsky.social and I talked often about the emotions that seemed to undergird racism. Trayvon, Tamir, Mike Brown and too many more changed us. Ten years later, our findings in @sfjournal.bsky.social: academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...

I never planned on writing a book. Few demographers do. But 9yrs ago, I unearthed a puzzling finding that upended everything I thought I knew about race and family structure. And I knew I had to share it with the world. Check out this video to learn more: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8BxtCBd/

🚨 New paper 🚨 In the latter half of the 20th c, states in the US passed massive suites of “tough-on-crime” sentencing policies. In this paper, we investigated how (& why) these policies shaped pop health, esp racialized patterns of birth outcomes in the US. track.smtpsendmail.com/9032119/c?p=...

Great to see @greermellon.bsky.social with the lead article in the latest ASR. And there’s good news: even in polarized times, school boards are selecting superintendents based on perceived competence and interpersonal skills, not party affiliation. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Finalizing my syllabus for the fall and facing a question I often face: How much CJ Pascoe is too much CJ Pascoe?

The Demographic and Health Surveys Program has been saved! At least in part. According to the announcement, “Several donors and host countries are funding the completion of selected surveys.” Great news for global health in spite of US government’s war on data. www.dhsprogram.com/Who-we-are/N...
