Kaylee T. Matheny @kmatheny.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Every year, ASA says if you don’t register by a certain date, you’ll be removed from the program. But as someone who habitually registers like a week in advance, I’ve never been removed. Did they actually do it this year? (For the first time?) Asking for myself. 000

Kaylee T. Matheny @kmatheny.bsky.social · 17/11/2025I’m teaching a qualitative methods class, and my next class session is on writing and feedback. I would love to hear what kinds of feedback researchers (of all disciplines) find most useful and from where (eg friends, peer reviewers, folks outside your area) if you’d be willing to share! 010

Reposted by Kaylee T. MathenyRoxane Gay @roxanegay.bsky.social · 22/09/2025I cannot tell you how grim the AI in higher ed situation is. Many of the students have completely surrendered to letting AI do their homework, badly, I might add. How do you fix this? Truly, what the hell do we do, beyond what grading can address, which isn't a solution? 2852825426
Kaylee T. Matheny @kmatheny.bsky.social · 24/07/2025If we continue to insist on using page and word counts for journal issue inclusion, then references should be an online supplement. People should be encouraged to have a robust and thorough reference section, and when people have to choose references, it’s not the big names in the field who get cut. 100
Kaylee T. Matheny @kmatheny.bsky.social · 24/06/2025If you have population-level data, then how can values for smaller units (eg schools, counties) be “less precise”? Isn’t precision about how close we are to the “truth”? And if you have the truth in hand, why would you statistically penalize smaller units? Asking for myself. 000
Reposted by Kaylee T. MathenySocial Indicators Research @socialindicators.bsky.social · 11/05/2025We are seeing multiple instances of reviewers doing manuscript reviews via use of AI/LLM. If you don't want to do a review the old-fashioned way, better to decline the request. Giving someone else's manuscript to AI is a violation of intellectual property rights/laws; the manuscript isn't yours... 111066313
Kaylee T. Matheny @kmatheny.bsky.social · 24/01/2025My paper with Amanda Lu is finally out! In “Equal Inputs, Unequal Outputs,” we problematize the tendency to design policies without attention to pre-existing resource inequalities. We also develop a policy-focused typology of organizational capacity. t.co/Y5AB0ksx1Kt.cohttps://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3102/01623737241310832 131

Reposted by Kaylee T. MathenyPam Herd @pamherd.bsky.social · 03/10/2023This is also true in other wealthy countries. What is different is that US life expectancy, even for those with higher education, is shorter than in peer countries. We're all being hurt by massive inequality, a dysfunctional health care system, and a miserly welfare state. 518360
