I intentionally left some off the list as I am already teaching them or planning to teach them in other courses: Almeling's GUYnecology; Becker's Get It Out; Ross & Solinger's Reproductive Justice: An Invitation; Nagoski's Come As You Are; Yam & Fixmer-Oraiz's Doing Gender Justice.

Gonna crowdsource a bit: I am putting together a list of book club options for my Reproductive Justice in the U.S. senior seminar students. What am I missing? All social science & humanities fields welcome! For now it's authors/titles only. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Eastern Sociological Society Annual Meeting
Washington, DC, March 5-8, 2026

CFP for Mini-Conference: Health Professions Education

Theme: Transforming and Repairing Health Professions Education

In a national context where U.S. healthcare practice, research, education, and programming face increased constraints due to conservative political ideology and neoliberal fiscal policy, health practitioners, educators, and researchers find new areas of struggle and resistance. How are healthcare professionals surviving the current political context regarding cuts to HIV prevention, legislative attacks to gender affirming healthcare, anti-vaccine rhetoric, and ICE presence? What are impacts of the transformation of the American institution of healthcare, including the incorporation of AI, private equity, and other macro-level changes on how healthcare professionals go about their daily work, understand their professional lives, and plan their forms of resistance? How can researchers support the spillover effects of U.S. policies into international contexts and interrelated struggles?

Papers of Interest:

We are interested in papers with empirical foci on how health professionals conceptualize and experience constraints and struggles, engage in organized or informal acts of resistance, transform their approaches utilizing social science and humanities, and navigate constrained professional contexts. In addition to welcoming traditional research presentations, we are also very interested in pedagogy presentations about how scholars engage in transformation and repair in the classroom, how researchers navigate a constrained research environment, and how practitioners engage in world-making amidst interlocking struggles.

Submission Instructions:

For conference information and submission portal, visit www.essnet.org (also linked in comments). ESS abstract submission deadline is October 15, 2025.

OK, every year I try to explain to my students how LLMs work, and every year I have to do a big trawl for good resources and activities. Here's this year's haul of *introductory* materials. (In-class activities + visualizations, not so much readings.)

As a sex/gender nerd and a bird nerd I am probably more excited about this than I should be 😅 I need to pay more attention to White-throated Sparrows!

Covid, inflation, and Supreme Court blamed for steep drop in Native American medical school enrollment "Just 201 out of more than 21,000 students accepted nationwide" were Native American and 22% fewer Indigenous students had enrolled last year as compared with the year prior.

Native American leaders were taken aback to see 22% fewer American Indian or Alaska Native medical students enrolled last year.

Gender is such an immutable, natural binary that we have to enforce it with the full power of the state.

Here is one of my favorite Superb Owl photos, a male Snowy Owl morning golden hour photo I took last winter.

Large owl, almost entirely white, sitting on a wooden post, looking over shoulder into the direction of the light. Sky behind the owl is blue with purple/pink clouds

This is what I wore to axe throwing this week: my watercolor Eagles crucial catch hat, kelly green Saquon Barkley jersey, and new Saquon reverse hurdle sticker on my axe. And I threw better than I’ve thrown in quite a while. GO BIRDS 🦅🦅

This is awful. What a horrible, preventable tragedy and a loss for UC Berkeley and our field. Privileged to have listened to him speak on Palestine just a few months ago. Thinking of Dr. Burawoy’s family, friends, colleagues, and students.

Not just the National Institutes of Health, now the National Science Foundation is put on pause. Reminder: research is a multi-step process. Pausing the peer review panels by itself creates months of delay.

I am very excited to be giving this talk for the Sex Ed for Everyone series on Thursday, April 10 at the Salus Center in Lansing, MI! Free and open to the public 😁

Event flyer, white text on red background, photo of protestors across middle holding signs that say, “no more lies” and “economic justice.”

Text above photo reads: Sex Ed For Everyone Presents: Allyship is Messy with Dr. Andrea Kelley, Assistant Professor, Lyman Briggs College

Text below photo reads: Join us as we discuss an intersectional approach to allyship. What is allyship and how can we practice it? What do we want from allies and how does that make allyship complicated?
