ASA member Guillermina Altomonte @ghaltomo.bsky.social draws on ethnographic observations, interviews, + historical materials to explore older Americans' struggle to maintain independence, an objective that can obscure the need for support + care. @princetonupress.bsky.social

Chasing Independence

How independence works as an unquestioned ideal for aging in America—and why it is never quite realized

It's publication day! In this book I critically examine independence as the yardstick for how we evaluate "good" old age in the US. Thrilled to see it out in the world and grateful to everyone who made this happen ✨

"The petitioners are asking ASA members to gawp at human misery, death, and destruction as dispassionate experts, blink, and proclaim that they shall not speak on the issue, as it is very complex and contested." Roi Livne and an anonymous co-author respond to the recent petition on scatterplot

The following is a guest post by Roi Livne and an anonymous co-author. They called them “aid distribution centers.” Orwell himself would not have thought of a better term. Every day, shortly after …

"The New School is the only university in the country with a world-recognized art and design school and a Research 2 designation. By gutting the humanities, the administration is eliminating what makes the school unique." - Heather Davis, AAUP The New School @newschoolaaup.bsky.social

I can (and do) explain the "law" behind Mahmoud Khalil's unlawful abduction and rendition to a for-profit concentration camp. But if you're waiting for the law to stop this, you've got it wrong. Dictators always make their crimes "legal" My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

We Are Asking the Wrong Questions About Mahmoud Khalil’s Arrest

The only relevant question is not “How can the government do this?” It is “How can we who oppose this fascist regime?”

A panel on the Treasury this Thursday, with the incredible @epopppp.bsky.social and @abenewman.bsky.social. This is not just for academics. Everyone needs to understand what's happening right now. Spread the word!

Announcement for a SPECIAL PANEL ON THE TREASURY with pictures of two speakers.

About this event:

What is at stake with the Treasury's payment systems? Recent events make this question more pertinent than ever before. Cutting across governance, policy, economic regulation, and the bureaucracies that sit at the core of the democratic state, the Treasury's financial pipes and plumbing are critical for the nation's well-being. In this special session, Elizabeth Popp Berman (U Michigan) and Abraham Newman (Georgetown U) will discuss why these systems matter as well as the risks posed by their capture by non-state actors. Please join us on Thursday, February 6 at 11 AM PST/ 2 PM EST for what will surely be an excellent conversation.

In a moment of political upheaval, it is up to the left to reject the false choices on offer and seize upon widespread discontent to redefine the terms of debate.
