A few years ago I got selected for the ACS, but that was less exciting because it was just by mail.

Today was the most exciting day of my life: An in-person enumerator from the Census Bureau stopped by to interview me for the Current Population Survey! I can't wait to tell my students that I'm contributing to the data we use for statistics exercises.

I'm facilitating a causal inference reading group next semester for Sociology PhD students. (I will also be learning!) If there are (1) pedagogical articles or (2) empirical examples in soc that you ❤️, will you share in the comments? [And please RT to help me crowd-source!]

Thanks for sharing it! It's under review...

What the data says about immigrants in the U.S. As of June 2025, the country’s foreign-born population had shrunk by more than a million people, marking its first decline since the 1960s.

A shocking 1.5-million decrease in net immigration between January and June

Haha I have been lucky enough to avoid the PSID so far...

Those are great ideas! Thank you. A friend suggested the GSS, which is similar.

Definitely saving for this for when I teach a regression course!

Ideally looking for something published in a sociology journal — are you aware of a particular article like that?

I'll have to check this out, thank you!

This looks great, thanks!

I'm trying to find some sociology papers to bring into my intro statistics course for grad students. Straightforward quant analyses where the data are publicly available. Does anyone have any suggestions?

PhDone! I was honored to have Professor Andres Villarreal hooding me yesterday.

Thank you, I appreciate you sharing!

Wow this looks great. Thank you!

These are all fantastic! Thanks so much.

This fall I'm teaching an introductory statistics class for graduate students in sociology, and I'm looking for a textbook. The course covers probability, sampling, and basic data analysis, barely touching on regression. Does anyone have a textbook they like? I'd love one with R examples.

Thanks Connor!

Thank you Adrian!

Thank you!

I am thrilled to share that I will be joining the Department of Sociology at Emory University this fall as an Assistant Professor! Excited for a new chapter in Atlanta 🔥🍑

Will do! I'd be honored for my paper to be considered.

I'm honored that my paper on double robust methods has received the ASA Methods Clifford Clogg Award for Best Graduate Student Paper!

I deeply appreciate the committee's recognition, and I couldn't have done this without the support of Chad Hazlett, @jenniebrand.bsky.social, and Onyi Arah.
