My newest publication in Environmental Sociology. Ecologically unequal exchange (EUE) happens at the subnational level too. Network analysis shows that in the US, Counties exporting eco-intensive goods see more PM2.5; those importing them see cleaner air. doi.org/10.1080/2325...

Here's an interesting story about religious change in the United States that cites my research with Ilana Horwitz, Peyman Hekmatpour (@phekmat.bsky.social), and Cyrus Schleifer: newrepublic.com/article/1945...

I’m excited to share our new publication where @landonschnabel.bsky.social, Ilana Horwitz, Cyrus Schleifer, and I use a mixed-method approach to study young Americans’ trend of leaving organized religions for individualized spiritualities that align better with their values. doi.org/10.1177/2378...

First he (mis)quote Napoleon saying that “He who saves his country does not violate any law.” Then a couple of days later he calls himself the king! This is not going to a good place for anyone. The joke itself (even if it is a joke, which I really doubt) is a dangerous one.
