Nuevo texto en Nexos(Pacto Federal): sobre el modelo de evaluación que el Inegi presentó tras la desaparición del Coneval. Mi argumento: al Inegi no le falta capacidad técnica ni rigor. Le falta imaginación política. federalismo.nexos.com.mx/2026/07/la-f...

Nothing says "intellectual freedom" like forcing students to take mandatory conservative indoctrination classes. Shout-out to all the embarrassing academics who believe any of this was in good faith.

The anti-DEI bullshit has always been simple racism barely even repackaged. Erasing Dr. Kings legacy was always one of the goals. We pretend that the segregationists lost. But any defeat was temporary and they currently control all three branches of government.

Yesterday, my dear friend, the extraordinary Colombian sociologist, Tatiana Andia passed away. She did so on her own terms, dying in the manner that she lived. Her courage, her laughter, her wit, her love in the face of cancer leaves us with many lessons, most of all about how to live.

I corresponded with Michael Burawoy recently. He wrote: Teaching has always been important to me and, perhaps for that reason, I have always found it extremely difficult to write about...my efforts tend to distort rather than capture what is lively, dynamic, uncertain, experimental, inherently open.

Universities don’t have to pretend that DOGE is a normal government commission or a standard deregulatory effort. Putting it in those terms normalizes anti-democratic actions

The disappearance of CONEVAL is bad for the poor and bad for democracy. I spent a decade studying their work and wrote a book about it. There is room for improvement, yes. But CONEVAL is essential accountability and keeping the state focused on protecting social rights. www.sup.org/books/sociol...
