@mikehoutnyu showing examples of intergenerational inheritance of occupations. Can you name sociologists whose parents were also sociologists?

Our community has grown dramatically over the last 40 years!!

@mikehoutnyu.bsky.social first RC28 in 1983 at the Free University Amsterdam listed only 35 papers but 19 papers of them included mobility tables! 😮

@natewilmers.bsky.social shared his work on the decline of low wage jobs

Clayton Adamson, PhD Student of Sociology and @cdeuw at the UW-Madison, presented his work on how local tech sectors influence intergenerational mobility.

@hunterwyork.com, PhD Candidate of Sociology at Princeton University , shared his new research on economic outcome stratification among workers by field of study and institutions. Please check out the paper on his website 👆 or email him.

Thank you for pointing it out, Per! We miss you at RC28 and hope to see you at our next conference.

Professor Adam Gamoran the President of William T Grant Foundation and an expert of educational inequality @wtgrantfdn.bsky.social calls for more research that investigates (1) race, ethnicity, and immigration, (2) occupations; & (3) solutions for reducing inequality, by RC28 scholars.

We are very happy to announce the next editor of RSSM — @mtriventi.bsky.social !!! We are also fortunate to have @pengzell.bsky.social , Jan Paul Heisig and Aidan Liu to continue their role as associate editors. Please send your best work on social stratification and mobility to RSSM.

I have received a request to review from the Israel Science Foundation today. I have declined it. My email reply below.

My position is similar to @philipncohen.com : I do not collaborate with institutions linked to the Israeli government.
But I do collaborate with individual researchers.

We are celebrating Professor Margot Jackson’s 20th year anniversary as an RC28 conference participant. Professor Jackson graduated from #UCLA and attended her first RC28 at #UCLA in 2005! She is the editor of Research in Social Stratification and Mobility. Go Bruins @margotjackson.bsky.social
