Goodbye to a real one. @aksoyundan.bsky.social mentored, collaborated, and somehow made difference-in-difference estimators funny. We’ll miss all three.

It was hell of 9 years at now a world-leading place for (quant) social sciences and sociology. Forever grateful to my colleagues at @sriucl.bsky.social and we will remain in touch. 😓😓

Why do people resort to the brutal measure of killing their own daughters, sisters, or cousins when they feel their family honour is tarnished? @aksoyundan.bsky.social and @aronszekely.bsky.social offer novel insights based on game theory and data on honour killings & honour norms.

Have written up some of my thoughts about the increasingly sinister use of 'non-UK born' and 'white British' in the British press. The obsession with 'white British' citizens over other British citizens harms all of us and needs to be called out. benansell.substack.com/p/who-counts

🧵1/8 In our new #OA article, we studied the drivers of ethnic school segregation. Research on segregation often points to parental preferences, but what if it's not just about what parents want, but also what options they actually have? 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/esr/jcaf027

Thought this recent paper by @aksoyundan.bsky.social and Szekely was particularly good social science theorising. Takes the qualitative evidence seriously and builds on existing formal theory. Plus, a case of clear writing about game theory without formalism. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

A 2-year lectureship for someone with qualitative methodological expertise and experience of studying of political and civil conflict. 👇

People with lower skills tend to misjudge their ability, something known as the Dunning-Kruger effect. But there's a gender twist: while men overestimate, women underestimate themselves.

The UK's "Fundamental British Values" policy boosted British identification but not for everyone. It backfired for Muslims, reducing their likelihood of identifying as British. From @aksoyundan.bsky.social @buraksonmez.bsky.social osf.io/t7wzv_v1

It is a common mistake to mix up Poisson with poison in regression 201 ;)

Social norms of revenge exist across the world. How do such norms emerge and stabilize, given the severe societal costs associated with them? @sriucl.bsky.social visitor Aron Szekely provides answers in a hybrid seminar on Wed 12 February 13:00-14:00. Link to register: shorturl.at/4qToO
