Presenting on collaborative work about post-2021 migration from Afghanistan and occupational mismatch at 2pm, and recent findings from my fieldwork after wildfires and floods at 4. Come say hi! #ASA2025

(it will take you less than 10 minutes to read! and it's open access!) good morning!

💥NEW PUBLICATION💥 Check out our short piece on how journaling is an excellent piece of the methodological toolkit for studying disasters, shocks, and emergencies as they unfold, shift, and take shape. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

NORTH CAROLINA: I am recruiting for a study about the impact of the Helene floods, particularly on community composition and residential mobility. Do you know someone who moved from western NC after the floods, or long-term resident who stayed? (Maybe you?) Reply/dm/email me - [email protected]

It was a pleasure to speak with @parkstraveler.bsky.social about partisanship and the environment, how we are and aren’t divided over our relationship to nature, with a cameo from a certain little fish. www.nationalparkstraveler.org/podcast/2025...

Afhans were vetted and allowed to come the US for a reason. It is not fair nor safe for them to be sent back.

We had a very nice time chatting with @danielrmorrison.bsky.social on @socannex.bsky.social about our book - and its implications in politics and communities given *gestures wildly* everything happening right now! Have a listen.

Check out my podcast w @jenksd.bsky.social & @danielrmorrison.bsky.social about "Reunited" & the years-long family separations due to immigration policies that fail to give work & travel documents to the workers we need & to their families. @russellsagefdn.bsky.social @aucollege.bsky.social #Boosky

It was such a pleasure to read and engage with these authors on @socannex.bsky.social. The stories of these young migrants and their families stay with me. I encourage #sociologysky and #academicsky to pick up the book and learn more.

“Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive govt funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies. It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m…”

Your friendly, periodic reminder that the Canadian History & Environment series at @ucalgarypress.bsky.social exists. That it's print & open-access, here: press.ucalgary.ca/series/canad... That it's great. That there's room for more. That I edit the series, so talk to me. #envhist #cdnhist

Had a great #ESS2025 also presented "Reunited: Family Reunification and Central Youth Migration" with @jenksd.bsky.social, published by @russellsagefdn.bsky.social#ESS2025 With generous comments by Xóchitl Bada and Carolina Bank-Munoz, who recommended the book for class use and the general public.

Good sessions in Boston!

re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

My take on the "economic boycott" yesterday --

Trump admin stopping legal representation of unaccompanied immigrant children means kids may face deportation proceedings alone Affects 26,000 kids & is predicted to "leave children vulnerable to exploitation and to further abuse” www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

ICYMI: Ernesto Castañeda (@drernestocast.bsky.social) & Daniel Jenks (@jenksd.bsky.social) share migration insights from their new @rsf.org book, REUNITED. ▶️ contexts.org/blog/family-... 📚 www.russellsage.org/publications... @latinoworld.bsky.social @theimmigrationlab.bsky.social @upenn.edu

The mayor of Philadelphia spelled "Eagles" "E L G S E S" at a press conference. So I made a linocut print of the new team name 🤣

"The speedy corporate move away from DEI just proved it was never honest or meaningful, and that's why workers need inclusive unions not more empty promises from suits" is sitting right the fuck there. Cmon.

Miraculously, DOJ statistics on hate crimes (which I assume are undercounts anyways) are still available online. Download what you can now. Most counts only available until the end of 2023, unfortunately. cde.ucr.cjis.gov/LATEST/webap...

turns out Upton Sinclair was wrong, American fascism isn't coming wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross, it's a foreign billionaire literally throwing Nazi salutes, and still it isn't (yet) sinking in

Elon endorses sending US citizens to prisons in El Salvador. Elon is an existential threat to every US citizen.

Anyone who happened to know that the White House would announce and then suspend tariffs within 24 hours just made a boatload of money.

in which I argue it was probably a bad idea for major US media outlets to spend months treating Musk's "DOGE" committee as an aw shucks, good faith effort to "reduce waste" and "find efficiencies" in our government.

If you have a smidge of power and you catch yourself thinking: Maybe we'll be safe if we: - tone this justice program a bit - take that 'decolonization' reference off the website - nix that grant for decarbonization... know that you are playing your part in Trump's game perfectly. 1/2

New blog post! In "Youth Migrants and Long-Delayed Family Reunification," @drernestocast.bsky.social (@latinoworld.bsky.social @theimmigrationlab.bsky.social) and @jenksd.bsky.social (@upenn.edu) consider "unaccompanied" minors' U.S. integration: contexts.org/blog/family-reunification/ #sociology

Out today - read a short piece on our book in Contexts!

If you're a scientist that serves on an NSF panel that got cancelled today, I'd love to talk to you about it for an NPR story. DM, email or reach out on signal.

Academics and researchers looking to get more involved on issues related to immigration outside of your research, check out this guide I helped write! childrenthriveaction.org/resources/re...

Family separation is a tragedy impacting thousands of Central American children and adolescents. This timely article by @drernestocast.bsky.social and @jenksd.bsky.social highlights how current immigration policies not only fail to protect these minors but often exacerbate their vulnerability.

Scholars Ernesto Castañeda @drernestocast.bsky.social and Daniel Jenks @jenksd.bsky.social examine the structural causes of child migration from Central America to the U.S. in their book Reunited: Family Separation and Central American Youth Migration. An essential read ! tinyurl.com/3hexts74

What does "migrant" really mean? What about ICE? #Immigration news is filled with terminology. Immigration scholars break down 10 key terms to help you navigate the conversation with clarity https://buff.ly/4gakz6M (@drernestocast.bsky.social, American University; @jenksd.bsky.social @upenn.edu)

Trump has ordered ICE to begin mass deportations. But what is ICE & what do they do? In this OpEd, @drernestocast.bsky.social & @jenksd.bsky.social break down 10 terms key to the immigration debate, including 'migrant,' 'immigration,' & 'coyote.' @us.theconversation.com:

Read this short easy to understand 10 definitions around immigration news and public discussions; with @jenksd.bsky.social and @theimmigrationlab.bsky.social @latinoworld.bsky.social

Lots of info flying around about migration right now. Re-center with some central terms for understanding debates around migration in the us. @drernestocast.bsky.social and I, out today via @theconversation.com theconversation.com/what-is-a-mi...

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

Biden currently theorizing a tech-industrial complex on live tv??? ? ? And decrying the oligarchy??

Illinois folks: Senator Tammy Duckworth is one of the 9 Dem senators planning to vote to advance the Laken Riley Act I just called her to voice my opposition to her decision. You can, too You can find her various office numbers here

According to Mark Zuckerberg, people who live in California are biased but people who live in Texas are objective

are these really “mask-off moments” or just what CEOs have always been doing

Wild how Zuckerberg painted content moderation on migration and gender as "censoring" people's "experiences" when this is clearly "you can now freely say racist, violent, and inciteful things about migrants and trans people on this app because Trump won" A far cry from banning Trump on Jan 7th.
