Was Manchester really as segregated as Engels said? What kept the rich and poor apart.... if anything? My first article is out today in @historicaljnl.bsky.social and I'm so pleased to share it with you all! doi:10.1017/S0018246X25101246

🚨 The Economist has been telling you for years that polygamy causes civil war by locking men out of marriage. A new article with @rebeccasear.bsky.social and @anthrolog.bsky.social explains that the demography of marriage markets doesn't actually work that way. 🧵

Reflections on the #BSPS2025 conference, one of my favourites (after >20 years of conferencing). This year it was held at the beautiful campus on Swansea Bay (sadly didn’t get a pic of the delicious Welsh cakes that came out at afternoon tea!) 🧵

View from the conference location towards Swansea and the Mumbles (Mumbles lighthouse just visible if you really squint)

View from the conference location towards Port Talbot (now decommissioned steelworks just visible if you squint)

Proud winners of the #BSPS2025 conference quiz!

In fact we do use the term 'birth rate', for certain types of rate, eg crude birth rate - births per 1000 people. 'Fertility rates' generally relate births to the people at risk of having them, ie women or women in particular age groups

Alice Reid @amrcampop.bsky.social · Aug 28

I agree it's confusing, but in demography, fertility refers to achieved births, and the term for the ability to become pregnant is fecundity.

Great commentary on our broken university sector from @zoesqwilliams.bsky.social. Obviously it's a bit more complicated here and there, but she only had about 800 words

Tuition fees are rising again and nobody is happy – it’s time to actually fix our broken university sector | Zoe Williams

The figures simply don’t add up for higher education in England and Wales. Yet delusional politicians from all parties seem intent on avoiding the issue, says Guardian columnist Zoe Williams
