I grew up in Spain amid a collective amnesia about Franco. It is time we faced up to our dark past | María Ramírez This week marks 50 years of Spanish democracy, but the failure to talk more about the crimes of the dictatorship leaves us vulnerable, says the journalist María Ramírez

"This week marks 50 years of Spanish democracy, but the failure to talk more about the crimes of the dictatorship leaves us vulnerable [...] Openly and publicly telling the history of Francoism has been missing in Spain for far too long"

Atraer talento universitario en un momento clave Las amenazas de Trump a los centros de enseñanza superior de su país abren una oportunidad única para impulsar la investigación en España y Europa

De acuerdo con esta propuesta 👇

Pero para atraer talento es tb indispensable simplificar las gestiones asociadas a la investigación y a la gestión de proyectos. Para empezar:
1. Abolir el requerimiento de usar la agencia de viajes
2. Subir dietas de alojamiento

Reminder that earlier naturalization leads to better integration of immigrants. Extending the period necessary for settlement in the UK will have exactly the opposite effect of what Starmer and the Labour leadership claim. "Migrants first have to prove themselves" is a nativist trope and bad policy.

Gaza will be entirely destroyed, Israeli minister says Bezalel Smotrich says Palestinians will ‘leave in great numbers to third countries’, raising fears of ethnic cleansing

A world historical crime, taking place in full view, with the perpetrators so convinced of their impunity that they can brag about genocidal intent, and it’s hard not to agree with their calculation that no one will stop them and no one will be held accountable

Does being the corresponding author (CA) matter? After serving on many selection committees for grants, promotions, and hiring in EU sociology, I’d say no. Even author order matters little. What counts are solo publications and diverse co-authorships. So don’t bother being CA.

When submitting a co-authored paper to ESR (or any journal), choose the corresponding author carefully, considering affiliations and Read and Publish agreements with OUP.

Below are rules from the ESR Authors' Guidelines that prevent post-acceptance changes (set by OUP, not the editorial board).
