I have been a deputy editor for 2 weeks and:
(1) Wow, I have even more sympathy for the challenges editors face getting reviewers. Thank you for your service!
(2) Maybe I'm saying yes to too many reviews???

"What *is* sociology, exactly?"

Sir I have no idea.

Me: I was reading this article about how the holidays can be really stressful for pets with the commotion and strangers in the house.
Introvert spouse, softly: Not... just... pets.

The McLanahan Award is given in honor of Sara McLanahan, a remarkable scholar, mentor, and policy advisor. The award goes to a senior scholar for extraordinary contributions to the study of family change, the well-being of children and families, and related social policies.

Lawrence Summers Has Come Back From Scandals. Will This Be His Last?

"And he is among a vast group of powerful men who have faced seemingly career-threatening scandals over comments or actions related to their treatment of women, and yet have maintained a place in public life."
You don't say.

Summers apologizes here for communicating with Epstein, but not for the content of his messages. Not good enough.

I wish this didn't need to be said but: when discussing people who commit sexual harassment and abuse, don't name the victims/survivors unless they've chosen to come forward publicly. Their right to privacy matters.

Doctoral students! We now offer grants under our Dissertation Research Grants program.

Meet Anwuli Okwuashi (St. Louis University), a 2025 DRG grantee! She will examine how limited access to banks widens racial homeownership gaps.

Thanks so much to all who shared and commented! One type of example I'd love to hear more about: papers that *don't* have a beautiful, crisp identification strategy but marshall evidence of a causal effect in a compelling way.

There are days I wonder if I'm overreacting when I think there's a chunk of "respectable" men who deeply disdain women.
Today is not one of those days.

Oh come on - I'm willing to believe the overlap section of the Venn diagram of "watched Buffy" and "following what Larry Summers said in his emails to Epstein" isn't huge, but I feel it's gotta be over represented in my social network.

The only Summers I listen to.

Please tell me there's a labor economist already pondering how to use the YouTube TV / ESPN blackout in a diff-in-diff to test the effect of sports-watching on productivity. #INeedMyMACtion

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!]

So much to ruin, so little time.

Being featured (at about 39:50) on a podcast with the tagline "where sanity takes a backseat and laughter rides shotgun" and the episode title "Radioactive Shrimp" wasn't on my professorial bingo card, but it was a pleasure!

US women narrowed the pay gap with men by having fewer kids Two sociologists found that when the pace at which family sizes was shrinking slowed down, starting in the 1990s, progress toward closing the gender pay gap grew sluggish too.

@sashakillewald.bsky.social in @us.theconversation.com:
"The number of children Americans have affects the gender pay gap only because parenthood decreases women’s wages while increasing men’s wages." @umichstonecid.bsky.social

We couldn't put alllll the work of engaging the pronatalists on your shoulders!

It was an absolute honor to share a @umpsid.bsky.social RA office with @ninsolera.bsky.social more years ago than either of us care to remember, and it's a joy to have her as part of the @umichstonecid.bsky.social team now!

Big fan of @chinyereagbai.bsky.social's work and this paper - great to see it in print!

JUST went through this. My personal fave was my pharmacy chain's app proclaiming the prescription was in stock at other locations and then, once I transferred the prescription, saying "lol kidding."

The consulting services of UM's CSCAR have helped legions of graduate students and faculty. Ending these services puts Michigan out of step with its peer research institutions and especially disadvantages Michigan scholars with the fewest resources.

As a resident of the Great Lakes State and a frequent visitor to said lakes, I regret to inform NYT readers that the lakes are only mediocre and East Coasters should definitely continue exclusively vacationing at their salty, shark-infested beaches.

Join the Stone Center for Inequality Dynamics on Tuesdays from 10:30-12 noon as we host our Fall 2025 Speaker Series.

Have you seen what we're up to next semester? 👀 From #Econ & Public #Policy to #Sociology & Urban Planning, our fall lineup of speakers represent an array of fields studying social #inequality. #AcademicSky We hope you can joins us! 👇
