The ASA, American Federation of Teachers @AFT, and AFT-Maryland, facilitated by @DemocracyForward, have filed a complaint today in federal court in Maryland challenging the “Dear Colleague Letter” published by the Department of Education Office for Civil Rights.

Hundreds of asylum seekers were deported from the U.S. to Panama and locked in a hotel without access to lawyers, or their own passports.

I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for graduate training fellowships from NSF and IES. My work depends on federal restricted data. This is absolutely devastating for future generations of researchers. I’m glad @agamoran.bsky.social is using his immense influence to fight back.

Ed Department: DEI Violates Civil Rights Law In a sweeping and unprecedented letter issued over the weekend, the Office for Civil Rights declared race-based scholarships, cultural centers and even graduation ceremonies illegal. #HigherEd #EDUSky #AcademicSky bit.ly/4hCrabL

We continue to monitor and act on developments relating to federal data accessibility, collection, & reporting. Our partners at ICPSR have an archive tool for crowdsourcing government data. We encourage AERA members to utilize it. Learn more: www.aera.net/Research-Pol...

I was just thinking that ICPSR should be the nation’s data repository earlier today. Thank you @icpsr.bsky.social on behalf of all us researchers who depend on quality federal data.

It is more important than ever to heed Mills’s call and focus our sociological gaze on elites.

Burawoy on marketization and commodification (from 2016), Pierre Bourdieu and Karl Marx (2019), and W. E. B. Du Bois’s understanding of the period of Reconstruction (2023). #sociology kpfa.org/episode/agai...

In my Race & Film class, I teach about Disney’s infamously racist and long-cancelled “Song of the South” - perhaps making a comeback from exile to Disney+ soon.

After a few months of using the online ADRF platform, I was dissatisfied and decided to migrate all my NCES restricted data work back to the cold room in November ‘24. Most universities should have cold rooms by now. We’re currently modernizing ours at CREO at Notre Dame.

Another titan of the field has fallen. As a sociologist of inequality, education, & neighborhoods, I am deeply indebted to Jencks. I met him once at a breakfast at Ruth Lopez Turley’s house in grad school at Wisconsin. What an amazing scholar and human being.

FYI. According to Bureau of Labor Statistics data, Latino men and Black women have steadily had highest labor force participation in recent decades.

It was huge honor - and somewhat surreal - to give a demography seminar in the very room where @agamoran.bsky.social hooded me with my PhD and where I saw Heckman give a talk once in grad school.

Again, another day has gone by & the presidents of major research universities are deafeningly silent in the face of existential threats because of the potential end of federal funding. It's like watching the failure to stand up to Scott Walker & the Wisconsin GOP for a decade, on a national scale.

I'm heading back to Madison to give a seminar on a paper made possible by access to decades of restricted federal data that is increasingly under threat. Let's keep @dol.gov, Census, and @usedgov.bsky.social data accessible to researchers and the public alike!

As an undergrad sociology major at Berkeley, I was in awe of Burawoy. He was a mix of a folk hero and titan in the field. My passion for the discipline was honed by his theory class. So tragic. Hope he and Erik are reunited in power in Soc heaven. www.mercurynews.com/2025/02/04/o...

We must defend birthright citizenship for all. Under the proposed policy, I would be denied U.S. citizenship because my parents were undocumented. There would be one less Latino professor at an elite university and the nation would not be any safer. The 14th amendment is clear and unconditional.

GEOWEALTH is an incredible new data source on wealth inequality in the US since 1960! Kudos to @dyligent.bsky.social @tkemeny.bsky.social and team More here: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Data here: github.com/jhsuss/wealt... #socsky #sociology

I’m proud to be a part of Notre Dame’s new Population Analytics center which will accelerate policy-relevant work through big data news.nd.edu/news/college...

Check out this paper that @ndsociology.bsky.social's William Carbonaro, Kenya Lee, and Amy Langenkamp recently published in ASR, titled "Racial Inequality in 8th-Grade Math Course-Taking: Between-School Inequality, Local Achievement Queues, and Course Placements." doi.org/10.1177/0003... #sociology

Hi everyone, new here! By way of introduction, I’m a sociologist of gender, sexualities, and family life. My recently published book “Marriage Material” shows how access to legal marriage has transformed same-sex relationships, challenging dominant ideas about the declining power of marriage.
