That said, while I adore JLM, he’s Editor of AJS and hence the most powerful person in US Journal Sociology. If he wants to tout the “methodological rigor” of current sociology, he could revise their open science policy so it doesn’t make sociologists sound like stubborn & slow-witted schoolkids.

Überall in Europa brechen die alten Volksparteien zusammen oder sind es schon, aber auf der Titelseite von ZEIT Online denkt man immer noch, in Deutschland liege das an "handwerklichen Fehlern" der Regierungsparteien...

In Germany, the numbers in sociology (blue) and social sciences (red) have been declining since COVID as well. First-year student are somewhat stable. Political science (green) is growing slightly.

➕➕➕ New Working Paper ➕➕➕ Fixed effects are the workhorse of management and economics for dealing with unobserved confounding. But what if they themselves create bias? 😲 A short thread 🧵 1/6

Some academics seem to be committed to proving that conservative enemies of academia are entirely right about it. I still think they aren't and that most scholars just want to ignore this shit to stay out of trouble, but that there are professional academics defending obvious plagiarism is shocking

Frauen neigen eher zu parareligiösen Praktiken (wie Astrologie, Tarot, Geisterglauben…) als Männer. Liegt das daran, dass Männer eine „rationalere“ Lebenseinstellung haben? @nicosonntag.bsky.social geht dem nach: jetzt open access im Berliner Journal 👇 link.springer.com/article/10.1...
