Everyone assumes “sociology” (as if it is homogenous) is more ’politicized’ than economics. But is that so? Or is it that economists’ politics go unrecognized because they are built into the very assumptions of the entire discipline & and its formal models? 1/3

I'm looking forward to returning to Glasgow to deliver the 2nd Annual Racial Justice Lecture following Patricia Hill Collins inaugural lecture last year. It’s great that @glasgow.ac.uk is open to discussions of racial justice when in the US it has become a taboo topic.

No doubt about it: Trump's new imperialism re Venezuela & its unabashed discourse of aggression is exactly what desperate empires do as they fall, and it is exactly what has led to revived imperialism and world war in the past. It's all so predictable & and also so dangerous 1/7

Of course Kirk doesn’t want sociology majors. He just wants laborers who he can hire to do labor for him and his rich friends and boss them around, not people trained to understand and call out wealth inequality or systems of control.

Far from ending US imperialism, Trump reenacts it, using US financial power to bully democratic regimes & install right wing dictators. Typical us imperialism
