Sad to hear of Stew Tolnay’s passing. He was the first person to invite me to coffee when I started working here and gave incredible feedback on my work. He will be missed.

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?

My university is removing our landlines from our offices to save costs. The thing is I ripped my landline out of the wall the moment I got here because it rang and I didn’t know how to use it.

For my inaugural post on this app, I'd like to invite anyone attending #PAA2025 to come to my talk! I'm very excited to attend my first PAA @popassocamerica.bsky.social meeting and share this research (and hopefully get good feedback as I refine and revise).
