Så får vi återupprepa. Visst, kul att regeringen får skit, men vi vinner inget på att slå regeringen i huvudet med de finanspolitiska dogmer som eroderat välfärden. Problemet är inte expansiv ekonomisk politik, utan hur regeringen spenderar.

#FarRight amplifiers 🔊

@dasalgon.bsky.social and @tevoelker.bsky.social show how far-right actors increasingly shape the agendas of mainstream parties, particularly around Islam, migration & cultural issues. #AfD

This is why *all* researchers need reflexivity--not just qualitative ones.

Our training and our backgrounds and our preexisting beliefs shape the research questions we ask, the methods decisions we make (eg, variables, models, or missing data strategies), and the way we interpret findings.
My first paper is out in #SociologicalScience!
With Jörg Stolz and Ruud Luijkx, we found robust evidence of ideological #bias in #secularization research: researchers' own religiosity is correlated with their probability of finding evidence of religious decline in their publications.

Ni minns väl det absurda beslutet från Texas A&M om att en filosofiprofessor inte fick undervisa om Platons ”Gästabudet”. Det skrevs mängder om det. Samma universitet har nu helt avvecklat sina program för genusforskning, vilket givetvis är ett ännu större ingrepp på den akademiska friheten.

av invandrare drabbade också oss. Det var på håret jag inte kunnat återvandra om jag velat fortsätta leva med barnens far. På migverket i Malmö
hade de då hittat på sitt eget 10 frågor långa formulär för att jag skulle motivera att barnen behövde sin pappa. Det var så absurt och förnedrande.

Den enda rimliga förklaringen till sånt här är att det finns en motståndsrörelse på migrationsverket som fattar allt mer bisarra beslut för att vi ska vakna och se vad som sker.

Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

🔍 Democratization ambitions have not proven to be successful - is cultural policy in crisis?

🗝This article by Larson & Henningsen argues that no - cultural policy is mainly legitimized by the cultural field. Read more here:

Bra att de är tydliga, antar jag?
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
