Congratulations! That's exciting news

The more important question - are they paying you as professor of journalism too? lol

Americans Are Overworked. Could AI Change That? - by Juliet Schor - Behavioral Scientist AI promises to help us get more done in less time. It’s an opportunity to reverse the trend of American overwork, but powerful structural factors stand in the way.

Excerpt from my new book #FourDaysAWeek out now in @behscientist.bsky.social. Is overwork in the US a deep cultural problem as is popularly believed? No, the country led the world in shorter hours for decades. A #4DW is possible! behavioralscientist.org/americans-ar...

Didn’t want to believe this was true. It’s true.

Very pleased to share after a long wait (and listening to 2 hrs of Latin), I finally had my graduation ceremony. Great time catching up with mentors and friends at Oxford. A big thank you to all the people who have been supportive! @sociologyoxford.bsky.social

This is amazing! I would love to be added

Presidential event description

If you happen to be at the @britsoci.bsky.social's annual conference and if you want to hear something beyond the moan about how "they" are destroying "our" higher education, I'll be speaking (alongside @jkom.bsky.social and @alinecourtois.bsky.social) at the Presidential event on the Future of HE:

“We are shocked and saddened by the news of Professor Michael Burawoy’s passing. His untimely death is a great loss to sociology & to movements for justice around the world.”

@michaelabenson.bsky.social on a collegiate, courageous giant of the discipline.

It's shocking and deeply tragic to hear about the passing of Michael Burawoy. We had some email exchanges a few years ago and Michael has always been very kind, generous and encouraging to young scholars. His work on labour and public sociology will always be an inspiration for us.

The sudden and tragic loss of Michael Burawoy is devastating beyond words. A peerless scholar, mentor, teacher, activist, and friend, with a wry wit and an enormous heart. The only consolation is that he brought so many of us together, an extended family of kin who strive to carry on his legacy.

Thanks for creating this! Could you please add me?

It's a bit overwhelming to reconnect people one by one here. Big shoutout to the people who made these wonderful starter packs! Sociology folks, which packs are you in?

I've updated the "Sociologists Studying China Starter Pack" to include not only more sociologists but also historians, political theorists, political scientists, historical IR scholars, cultural anthropologists, critical geographers, & media scholars who examine Chinese society from various angles.

Check out the @asaskat.bsky.social Starter Pack of 60 sociologists of science, knowledge, and technology!

To be added in the list, use the Google Form in the next post. Will add folks every few days.
