Is social cohesion good for all?
Can everyone fit into a cohesive society?

These questions are guiding our ongoing research, thanks to @fgz-risc.bsky.social

This piece offers a glimpse into our results, but our framework shows great potential

More insights coming — stay tuned!👍

I’m very happy to announce that I won a book prize from the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians.

You can download the book for free at tinyurl.com/kahnbk. It’s about the history of Turkish migration to Germany and anti-migrant racism.

While academic associations are supposed to represent us, they fail to do so and keep showing hypocrisy. Here is a petition to ISPP demanding recognition of the genocide and ending scholasticide and complicity in Palestine. Hold them accountable. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

New from me and @yasemingacar.bsky.social in @uk.theconversation.com, summarising our recent work on the role of reappropriation/reclaiming stigmatising labels in identity politicisation, empowerment, and collective action.

Why people reclaim words meant to insult them – and how this has become a powerful tool for protest
Saying ‘yes, I’m queer’ or ‘yes, I’m fat’ isn’t just resistance, it can be the start of a political identity.

We are becoming extremely anti-social

- working from home
- watching videos alone
- staying single
- ordering meals for 1.

Fantastic article by @dkthomp.bsky.social @theatlantic.com

One addition: it’s not just the US; the world is becoming anti-social 🌏

TLDR: Academics from low-income backgrounds are more like to push the needle on science, but less likely to receive credit for doing so. 🥴

#econsky #academicsky
Academics from poorer socio-economic backgrounds are more likely to
- not publish
- have outstanding publication records
- introduce more novel scientific concepts
- less likely to receive recognition, as measured by citations, Nobel Prize nominations, and awards.
