Great instrument to identify the impact of regularisation.

This is an important paper on social class barriers among faculty in academia.
First-generation college grads earn less and are placed at lower prestige institutions despite being just as productive as other faculty.
Faculty from upper class backgrounds are overplaced for their research records.

It being Bluesky, there will be a rush to blame the 7 Dems who voted to renew ICE funding. Here's the rub: no matter how they voted, the bill would have passed, and ICE would have executed someone in MN today.
Repubs have agency. They control all 3 branches. They have embraced fascism. Blame them.

With fake generations shortened (because they keep rushing out the next for marketing purposes), and age of parents increasing, it's more common for families to skip a fake generation than double up (as when a million boomer parents had boomer kids). The important point is: these are not generations

Not that it will but the willingness of Americans to obey is a very funny contrast with our self-image and should probably prompt some reflection bsky.app/profile/jonf...

When people see an ethnic minority-sounding name, do they infer race, religion, gender, or social background?

Really good news for Spanish Sociology!
This paper grew out of my postdoc in the EQUALOPP Project (@unil.bsky.social) and the LIVES Centre, where I learned a lot. Now it’s on to a new chapter: I’m starting as an Assistant Professor in the Social Sciences Department at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid 🎉

Zucman shows that the "new Euro-sclerosis" claims are just a measurement issue.
It has become received wisdom in Brussels and Washington that there is a new “euro-sclerosis”: that the EU economy is lagging the US
This view is wrong
A little primer on the measurement of productivity – and why reports of the economic death of Europe are greatly exaggerated🧵

In Sweden, immigrant youth tend to exhibit higher educational aspirations than native-born youth, yet their attainment often falls short. This study explores two mechanisms that help explain the aspirations-attainment paradox.

Really interesting (and necessary) thread!!
It seems that good mentorship can significantly reduce barriers for many low-SES PhD students.
We, as postdocs, can also help reduce these barriers by informally sharing our knowledge about norms and customs in academia with our younger colleagues.

To first-gen or low-income background respondents who answered that their socioeconomic background disadvantaged them, we asked about mechanisms.
Again overwhelmingly, factors like: academic norms, the hidden curriculum, and limited access to networks or mentorship show up
