SPQ is excited to announce a Special Issue on Social Status! We are inviting scholars to submit their theoretical and empirical articles that examine status by December 15th, 2026.

Below is the information for the Call for Papers. #SPQ

SO TRUE

Would love to be in St. Pete next year!!

I read a paper today that uses Bayesian instead of Frequentist statistical inference and hmmmmmmm, it’s quite cool.

A perfect addition to my ‘method or theory?? why not both ;)’ reading list as I continue my quant side quests this year

Congrats!! Love that it made it into ASR, setting a hopeful precedent, maybe...🫡

Adding to my reading list for Political Behavior. I wonder how this relates to the 'reactive ethnicity' literature, at first glance it reminds me of it

Final week strikes again. Not sure if I should plan for a restful winter break or seize the rare block of uninterrupted time and get more work done…

My favorite academic advice blog posted a new bit!

Cool work

Cool work!! I have thought about similar things and I’m glad you wrote it out. Will def read and cite in my ongoing work

I’m currently studying this using survey data and (hopefully interview data in the future)! Esp those against illegal immigration who are immigrant themselves. Maybe I could report back when I’m done with my analysis…

Heavy news these days. There’s some kind of ancient magic in the tides of Coronado Island that calms my mind.

This weird feeling after finally submitting a manuscript that's been too long in the making, like I'm able to close a chapter of my life, but in a sense, the real game is just starting...

If you don’t use Evernote for a few years, your account (and data) will be deleted by them. So I don’t recommend keeping Evernote as the long term place of storage.

Also, I think both Evernote and Notion (and perhaps other notes apps) can export and import in ‘Markdown & CSV’ format!!

I would definitely keep them as records! I have imported Evernote files into my current Notion ecosystem and it worked seamlessly

Assistant Professor of Sociology

Bryn Mawr College is hiring an Assistant Professor in Sociology with a specialization in social movements! The applications are due on September 19th. It is a fantastic place to be a scholar and educator—please spread the word! I'm happy to answer questions to the best of my ability!

Unlike ASA, I'll have more time to share the cool methodology behind the findings. I construct a revised index to measure immigration attitudes, and explain why ‘anti-immigration immigrant’ is not as paradoxical as it seems.

The event is hybrid & open to the public. Come say hi, wherever you are 🫡

I'll be sharing my paper at Harvard's “Migration & Immigrant Incorporation” Workshop on Sep 30.

This is (to my knowledge) the first to merge 13 waves of the Pew National Survey of Latinos.

I traced TWENTY years of trends in (anti)-immigration attitudes among Hispanic Americans. Join me!

Congrats!! Looking forward to reading it

Thanks Yanze 🥰

Book Review: In Our Interest - Ann Jiang, 2025

Read it here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I talk about how In Our Interest reframes the politics of immigration by focusing on altruistic nationalism.

💥I published a book review!💥

A massive thanks to Alex for the shoutout. Go check it out!

Especially relevant to ppl studying immigration, public opinion, politics, and policy reform.

@columbiaup.bsky.social

Aligns with an idea I had, just last month 🫡 Is this a sign to write it out or...

🚨 My review of In Our Interest: How Democracies Can Make Immigration Popular is forthcoming (!) in International Migration Review. The book is just out, by @akoustov.bsky.social, and offers a bold take on migration politics. I look up to his work, so it feels unreal that IMR asked me to review it.

Me to!!! Although it’s just my second time attending it so maybe too early to call…

Can’t wait to see all the new science that will be presented this spring at #PAA2026! Everyone is welcome, so please think about what research you have to share. Early career scholars, feel free to reach out if you have Qs about the submission process or @popassocamerica.bsky.social!

REMINDER: section reception (co-sponsored with Asian and Asian American section) tonight, Sunday, 8/10

West Toronto West Tower, Hyatt Regency Chicago, Floor: Ballroom Level/Gold, Toronto 8-10:30 pm

Ann Jiang - Chicago Food Map

Since a few people asked, I just put my Chicago food map up on my website.

Still happy to chat (or debate!) my faves in person, though. #ASA2025
