Check out our short piece on how journaling is an excellent piece of the methodological toolkit for studying disasters, shocks, and emergencies as they unfold, shift, and take shape.

NORTH CAROLINA: I am recruiting for a study about the impact of the Helene floods, particularly on community composition and residential mobility. Do you know someone who moved from western NC after the floods, or long-term resident who stayed? (Maybe you?) Reply/dm/email me - djenks@sas.upenn.edu

It was a pleasure to speak with @parkstraveler.bsky.social about partisanship and the environment, how we are and aren’t divided over our relationship to nature, with a cameo from a certain little fish. www.nationalparkstraveler.org/podcast/2025...

Afhans were vetted and allowed to come the US for a reason. It is not fair nor safe for them to be sent back.

rhubarb is back!!!

thanks for engaging! hope you enjoyed the podcast.

We had a very nice time chatting with @danielrmorrison.bsky.social on @socannex.bsky.social about our book - and its implications in politics and communities given *gestures wildly* everything happening right now! Have a listen.

Check out my podcast w @jenksd.bsky.social & @danielrmorrison.bsky.social about "Reunited" & the years-long family separations due to immigration policies that fail to give work & travel documents to the workers we need & to their families. @russellsagefdn.bsky.social @aucollege.bsky.social #Boosky

It was such a pleasure to read and engage with these authors on @socannex.bsky.social. The stories of these young migrants and their families stay with me. I encourage #sociologysky and #academicsky to pick up the book and learn more.

That's a whole other project right there!

“Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive govt funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies. It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m…”

Your friendly, periodic reminder that the Canadian History & Environment series at @ucalgarypress.bsky.social exists.

That it's print & open-access, here: press.ucalgary.ca/series/canad...
That it's great.
That there's room for more.
That I edit the series, so talk to me.

Had a great #ESS2025 also presented "Reunited: Family Reunification and Central Youth Migration" with @jenksd.bsky.social, published by @russellsagefdn.bsky.social. With generous comments by Xóchitl Bada and Carolina Bank-Munoz, who recommended the book for class use and the general public.

Good sessions in Boston!

re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

My take on the "economic boycott" yesterday --

Trump admin stopping legal representation of unaccompanied immigrant children means kids may face deportation proceedings alone

Affects 26,000 kids & is predicted to "leave children vulnerable to exploitation and to further abuse”

ICYMI: Ernesto Castañeda (@drernestocast.bsky.social) & Daniel Jenks (@jenksd.bsky.social) share migration insights from their new @rsf.org book, REUNITED.

The mayor of Philadelphia spelled "Eagles" "E L G S E S" at a press conference. So I made a linocut print of the new team name 🤣

The only solution is to move somewhere smaller. We don't have indoor storage or a good basement in my apartment, so I am limited to my vintage commuter and my gravel bike.

"The speedy corporate move away from DEI just proved it was never honest or meaningful, and that's why workers need inclusive unions not more empty promises from suits" is sitting right the fuck there. Cmon.

Miraculously, DOJ statistics on hate crimes (which I assume are undercounts anyways) are still available online. Download what you can now. Most counts only available until the end of 2023, unfortunately.

turns out Upton Sinclair was wrong, American fascism isn't coming wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross, it's a foreign billionaire literally throwing Nazi salutes, and still it isn't (yet) sinking in
