THE DIVISION OF RATIONALIZED LABOR MICHELLE JACKSON

This is a properly interesting book. From the cradle, social scientists of all stripes learn that everything from productivity to alienation is rooted in an increasingly specialized division of labor. Jackson basically asks: if this is true, why does my job consist of so many distinct goddamn tasks?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Really excited to share my new article published in @electoralstudies.bsky.social!

Thrilled to share my new article in Political Psychology: “The psychology of political attitudinal volatility.” In it, I attempt to answer why do some people change their political views more than others? Open access at: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

Susceptibility to Moral Arguments Among Liberals and Conservatives Abstract. An empirical result in Moral Foundations Theory is that liberals and progressives endorse the individualizing factors of care and fairness, while

The ‘Danish model’ is the darling of centre-left parties like Labour. The problem is, it doesn’t even work in Denmark | Cas Mudde This week’s local elections are the latest reminder that when social democrats move rightwards, they’re making a mistake, says academic and author Cas Mudde

Cas Mudde spells out what has become largely the consensus among researchers: moving right on immigration will not weaken the far right nor strengthen social democracy. If your reaction is "but in Denmark" please at least familiarize yourself with Danish politics

Ok, just wow. If the content of this article is right, this is depressing. We're slowly reaching the point where ~100% of what I was taught in Social Psych was either innocently wrong or plainly frauded
