1. We ( @jbakcoleman.bsky.social, @cailinmeister.bsky.social, @jevinwest.bsky.social, and I) have a new preprint up on the arXiv.

There we explore how social media companies and other online information technology firms are able to manipulate scientific research about the effects of their products.

I was interviewed by @winfriedbaijens.bsky.social on @nieuws.nos.nl @nporadio1.bsky.social Met het Oog op Morgen, to talk about my research on voting behaviour of Muslims. It was such a pleasure to be there again!

📢 First thesis paper is out!

In November 2022 I started my Ph.D. at the University of Utrecht. 📃 Today, my first paper is available on the website of the European Sociological Review (url.td/Q7kIJ). I love this paper and hope you will too.

I guess I like to take 3 years to publish things. 👩‍🎓😅

Thought at first it was just the classic dude who likes to be a little controversial, then you look at this blogpost and it's transphobic dogwhistle bingo

Distracted boyfriend meme: Left woman "1.000.000 Non-binary", right woman "Survey error"

I mean I would love it if this country was so genderqueer

Discussing on another site with an employee of the Dutch statistical agency is very concerned about administrative data. This after a survey finds that 6.4% of the Dutch population would consider choosing a third gender marker if gender self-id law made it easy.

‘Universiteit kan geen vrijplaats voor feitenvrije meningen zijn’ Dat de academische vrijheid onder druk staat, komt niet door de ‘linkse cancelcultuur’, betogen universitair docent Dick Zijp en universitair hoofddocent Mirko Tobias Schäfer. Zij hekelen de beeldvorm...

NOS/Nieuwsuur maakte vorige week een alarmistisch item over onvrije debatcultuur aan Nederlandse universiteiten. Mirko Tobias Schäfer en ik schreven er een opiniestuk over: 'Dat de academische vrijheid onder druk staat, komt niet door linkse cancelcultuur.'

"Surveying Citizens with a Migration Background - A Quantitative Study of Identification versus Categorization"

Coming soon in the journal Survey Research Methods.

"People can see status without seeking status" Per Engzell. Research into social stratification presents a puzzle. On the one hand, across social strata, people agree on a hierarchy of prestige between occupations. On the other, they differ widely in the extent to which they seek social advancement for themselves or their children. If occupational values were shared, we would expect differences in status seeking to be smaller. I resolve this puzzle by distinguishing between consensus beliefs--what we think 'most others value--and what we ourselves value. From this, I sketch a model of status alignment showing how differing preferences shape taste for status versus other attributes. I contrast this with dominant theories that attribute social reproduction to status maintenance: the desire to avoid downward social mobility. A novel empirical test using Swedish survey data shows that status alignment offers the most consistent explanation and best model fit when mothers are asked to evaluate 82 occupations for their child. Across social strata, mothers hold accurate beliefs about what others want, but differ in what they want for their child. Status alignment, not status maintenance, drives social reproduction.

Happy to be in Amsterdam today to present some work that bites the hand that feeds me

I recently had some fun mapping access to urban amenities in Sweden at a granular scale. It's work in progress, but I decided to share some of it on my website today. Check it out!

Heatmap and regular map of area of stockholm

Super nice resource Andreas! Thought outdoors looked a little bit strange it didn't seem to represent the city's green areas. As an example, Dalen has many playgrounds which is clearly marked, but Nytorps gärde and Nackareservatet are invisible on the heatmap due to the point representation.

For all the people who didn't have time to read my dissertation back-to-back:

(I'm guessing that's everyone 😄)

The journal PLC published a 1000-word summary I wrote of my dissertation, with a review from my favourite author of my PhD: Dr. LaFleur Stephens-Dougan from Pinceton University.

Enjoy!
