@kostermann.bsky.social presented our joint work on how pioneer gentrifier follow artists and raise the gentrification probability in poor neighborhoods. Getting closer to understanding sorting patterns creates the possibility for prediction and intervention in spatial inequality.

Hello from Paris! 🇫🇷 Amazing @ninaglaeser.bsky.social gave with her JMP on skill sorting and #gentrifcation one of the first presentations at the urban and spatial PhD workshop at #CREST today. She investigates why high, medium and low qualified workers reside in different parts of a city 🌆🌃

How is ethnic diversity linked to the cohesion of social networks? @glorenz.bsky.social & #C_Rjosk analyse >1,300 adolescent friendship networks to examine how connectivity varies with ethnic diversity, and its consolidation with gender and SES. 👉 doi.org/10.1093/esr/jcaf051

👉 Our new paper uses daily mobility data to show that spatial isolation is much more common today among those living in advantaged neighborhoods than the converse. 👩🏻‍💻 Lots of massive data wrangling and careful assumptions about mobility data needed - but check it out here! doi.org/10.1177/0042...

Attention is on NEETs today, but the problem is much worse. NEETs include stay-at-home parents & jobseekers. Strip those out to focus on people not working, not seeking work, not in education & not parenting: this group of economically & socially dislocated young adults has *doubled* in a decade.

Kernel density estimates of proximity to parents show clearly differences between groups, but only slight differences between stayers locations, movers' origins, and movers' destinations. Curves are multi-modal b/c of uneven distribution of residential populations across Swedish cities and towns.

#AkadSoz25 is buzzing! Cool data, interesting research and so many thoughtful comments (thx! <3). I presented work on two projects on the gendered dimension of #neighborhoods using geodata. Formal tasks done; I am looking forward to the conference dinner 🍷 (and to the sociological cabaret 🧐🧐)

Well deserved 🙏 congrats!

Even in Denmark, cultural tastes are socially stratified. With some quite cool library data we find strong gradients by education and wealth - important as wealth is rarely studied in cultural stratification research doi.org/10.1093/esr/... OA: osf.io/ar2xc_v2/dow... @europeansocreview.bsky.social

Check out our latest manuscript which shows the effect of social capital on economic mobility at the individual level!

Wir freuen uns über weitere Bewerbungen! 🚀

🧵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

New preprint out now: how do #neighborhood #networks and local work norms affect the integration of #refugee women? With geodata, @sebbaehr.bsky.social and I show that especially employed female neighbors seem to play a decisive role ♀️🏠 osf.io/preprints/so...

Just home from an amazing event with Robert Putnam at #Harvard Kennedy School. Such an inspiring talk about how decreasing rates of social #cohesion and social capital explain major issues of our modern society and what we can do against it. I definitely see #neighborhoods as one important mediator!

What a wonderful workshop with great participants & excellent organization! Thx for having me! Find the preprint here: osf.io/preprints/so...

What does space have to do with dropouts rates? My new article says: a lot! Between 2005 and 2020, the no. of trainees dropping out of the dual training system rose steadily. The trend has a regional component. See the article (🇩🇪) for more details: www.iab-forum.de/ausbildungsa... #dualeausbildung

A commonly held notion is that Germany's far-right party AfD is especially successful in the country's more rural areas. However, a look at the party's election results in over 10,000 municipalities suggests that the link between rurality and AfD support is rather diffuse. A simple thread. 🧵👇

Refugees in 🇩🇪 are not allowed to relocate for some time after arrival. We know this is bad for integration. So, once they are allowed to, refugees move to places with opportunity, right? On average: no, as @mschaeffer.bsky.social and I show in a new publication @scmrjems.bsky.social . Thread👇
