I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.
The Board of Governors decided, unilaterally, that no published textbook in the field of sociology could be used in compliance with the law for an Intro to Sociology class. None.
Victor: There's not a single existing textbook on the market that could be used that would qualify under state law?
Zachary: Correct.
Victor: I'm sorry, that's kind of funny. Like, the absurdity of not a single sociology textbook getting past the censors. I mean, it makes me kind of proud of our colleagues, but...

New paper on what happens after early school leaving in Spain (RSSM). Even among a highly disadvantaged group, social origin still shapes how second-chance educational pathways are organized. Inequality doesn’t stop at dropout www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Este hilo se titula: SER CINÉFILO ES MALO. Si eres tan viejo como yo o más y tu interés por el cine se forjó en las entrañas del legendario siglo XX sabes quién es Victor Mature. Y recuerdas perfectamente la fama que le rodeaba, un dato cinéfilo en boca de todos, un cliché sin discusión.

If you're thinking about learning spatial analysis with R, this course is for you -and not just because I'm teaching it ;). Highly recomended!

Opening a revise & resubmit one and a half years after submission feels like being a character in a John Updike novel—resenting your wife and primogeniture and fantasizing about stepping out to buy tobacco and never coming back.

When Queen Victoria’s mourning disrupted the "London Season" (elite marriage market), peer-commoner intermarriage rose by 40%, marital wealth sorting fell by 30%, and peers' political power declined as a result. www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...

Assortative Matching at the Top of the Distribution: Evidence from the World's Most Exclusive Marriage Market
(July 2022) - Using novel data on peerage marriages in Britain, I find that low search costs and marriage-market segregation can generate sorting. Peers courted in the London Season, a matching techno...

What a paragraph.
The inexpensive labor of incarcerated firefighters is a critical part of the state’s plan to get through wildfire season, which has become, as a symptom of the climate crisis, an almost year-round concern. Roughly 27% of the state’s firefighters were incarcerated in 2018 and 2019, earning mere dollars a day while free firefighters make an average $41.76 an hour. The pandemic exposed the government’s dependency on prison labor after thousands of inmates contracted, were potentially exposed to COVID-19, or were released from prison to limit the virus’s spread, drastically cutting the firefighting workforce.

There’s a longstanding question: how much of the union wage premium is accounted for by selection (unions focus on more profitable firms to unionize) vs rent sharing (unions increase workers’ share of the profits) Well, superb new work by Raffaele Saggio & co answers this…!

Rereading Goldthorpe's stuff from 2004-2007 is like watching Messi's YouTube highlights from 2011-2014—absolute Mamba mentality

Under what circumstances can linguistic capital operate as an enabler of mobility or as a spatial constraint? I theorize about this in my PhD chapter, now published in the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Language skills have demonstrated their significance in migration decisions; however, their role as a potential cause of immobility has been largely overlooked. In this paper, I first propose a the...

During Bs., you write in a fancy manner because you believe that being unintelligible is being intelligent; then you learn that the key lies in clarity. In the end, you end up writing like a 5 year old because the reviewer is going to understand your sampling strategy backwards.

Fantastic summary of what has been a great chit-chatting topic this year. Specially this hidden pearl, going beyond the more obvious internal critique about the institutional setting of Academia to the external(?) political gradient www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
