A first for me, a wyoming community college student emailed me angry about the grading of their essays wanting me to regrade it. Bruh why would I do this I don't even work at the school you go to 🫪. I am not, infact, the boss of all Wyoming sociologists.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

Really struggling with the idea that my kid is a Wyomingite and not a Californian and I likely won't live in California again. Academia is so weird.

"For many Black scholars, academia is a burning house. If we cannot extinguish that fire, Black scholars will always bear a greater risk of being burned–& therefore have to insulate themselves against the risk more than others." @cydneydupree.bsky.social www.timeshighereducation.com/opinion/blac...

Black academics face extra scrutiny. Our research shows its consequences

Scholars of colour told us they engage in strategies to make it harder for them to be dismissed as biased or lacking rigour, says Cydney Hurston Dupree

One of the things that grinds my gears is that women have to publicly declare their trauma CYCLICALLY in support of other women BECAUSE WE KEEP DOING THIS SHIT.

It really hard to look at my profession and see so much of what people fought to build for decades being torn down. It’s a tragedy.

She was doxxed by a Chi Phi alum who implored his followers to “help a Chi Phi.” Just in case anyone thought that organization was remotely redeemable.

There are a lot of parents focused on getting gentleness *for* their sons, but not expecting their sons to show gentleness to anyone else. And that’s just male entitlement in liberal window dressing.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I’m seeing a lot of posts about talking to your sons in light of the Cornell article. And yes. Talk to your sons. Here are some things you should say, based on anti-violence research about what they need to hear:

All the news about the Cornell 7 has inspired some folks, like the fantastic @jessicavalenti.bsky.social, to re-up their calls for banning historically White fraternities. 10 years ago I reviewed the history of these orgs, arguing they were un-reformable. I stand by my argument. In my new book...

I really wish the general public understood how universities are organized because I am seeing a lot of "Cornell faculty let these rapists get away with it" like the faculty don't have any power in this. This is Title IX, general counsel, Dean of Students, Provost.

When a reviewer asks you to add additional control variables to your models but you use 3 different data sets to test your hypotheses so you have to crosswalk what is even available and then do a million different sensitivity analyses and

Interesting that we had a long tedious lawsuit because a trans woman joined a sorority (feds instigated a civil rights investigation over it), but I don't see massive federal lawsuits over rapists in fraternities.

I noticed that one of my parents did not ever initiate conversations (text, phone call, etc) so I did an experiment where I didn't reach out and then we didn't talk for OVER 3 YEARS 🙃.

Research units from across government have been gutted. More than 10,000 PhDs have left government. For example the research arm of the Department of Education lost 90% of their staff and the research office for the Secretary of Health and Human Services lost an estimated 60% of their staff.
