Day one of my #ASA2025 journey at the climate preconference and it’s standing room only. Happy to get a seat next to my undergraduate advisor 😍

Something to discuss at #asa2025

That’s so difficult but your work will honor her memory ❤️

Improving Oversight of Federal Grantmaking By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and to improve the process of Federal

BIG: A new executive order changes fundamentally how the U.S. awards research grants, giving oversight to political appointees in coordination with OMB.

All new grant opportunities are paused until these appointees are in place.

How Trump Has Undermined U.S. Climate Policy (Gift Article) President Trump has quickly transformed America’s approach to the environment, withholding funds and stretching the limits of presidential power.

A climate denialism agenda is being pushed in the midst of wildfires in North & South Carolina, massive floods in Kentucky, and an exceptional drought in southwestern Texas. They’re really “owning the libs” as climate change bears down on Red and Blue states alike.

Great looking pre-ASA mini-conference that will be of interest to many political sociologists who consider social movements and protest in their work.

Guys, WIRED has been scooping every other publication and has been bravely covering this assault on our government, our Constitution, and on the rule of law. They are worth your attention and support.

Graduate Fellowships The Foundation supports world-class graduate students through Jefferson Fellowships and National Fellowships.

Grad students in @asapolisoc.bsky.social or @asa-cbsm.bsky.social: Deadline for the Jefferson Scholars Natl Fellowship is Feb 3! www.jeffersonscholars.org/fellowships Great oppty for APD scholars writing dissertations in US politics, with an emphasis on historical/global/instl analyses

In honor of the Inauguration today, I'm going to share some toplines from our survey of participants at the People's March in DC (I did this after the big marches during Trump 1.0 to document the Resistance), so here goes: People came from all over the US to participate--81% lived outside DC.

Here we go again! I’ll be fielding a team of 8 researchers at the People’s March in DC tomorrow. If someone asks you to take our survey, please say yes 🙌 Remember it will help us understand who’s joining the Resistance 2.0 and why.

UPDATE: I am pulling out of this virtual mini-conference given how @asanews.bsky.social is shaking down members for MORE money. As universities face budget cuts, the idea that an association will add costs for members who are doing the work of providing the content is outrageous.

For anyone who thought @asanews.bsky.social was providing members with more resources through its virtual mini-conference program, think again! Apparently, even those of us who are speaking (for FREE) and are members who pay hundreds a year to ASA are being asked to pay $100 to register to speak...!

Political Sociology in The Hill 👇👇

Is Chapel Hill’s "civic life" school a conservative center? Backed by lawmakers and university leaders but opposed by hundreds of faculty, the initiative has hired professors with similar backgrounds—including a few who’ve expressed sharp political opinions.

This is a deeply researched article showing the web of conservative foundations and think tanks supporting efforts like UNC’s “civic life” school. Basically, if you study U.S. history through a conservative lens, there’s money out there for you.
