What are the big debates in quantitative sociology methods right now? Stuff that we really are still debating the answer to? Lots of debates in causal inference, I know, and definitely in the Age-Period-Cohort area too. Anything in sampling methodology? Measurement?

I have seemingly become the department's starter pack creator, so on request by @dieuwkezwier.bsky.social I made a small pack with social and behavioural scientists at the University of Amsterdam. Heavy on the Sociology so far but leave a comment and I'll add you. #UvA

Yesterday, I presented an overview of my dissertation at ISS in Cologne.
While preparing the proposal/talk, I realized that the overarching theme of my dissertation is the integration of refugees in Germany. A good discovery after a year of doctoral studies :D
Many thanks for the helpful feedback!

Hi new world 🐦
I'm a Sociology PhD student researching education-based differences in working careers. I mainly use German panel data to the delight of my Dutch supervisor at University of Amsterdam. First publication in Sociological Science soon to come!
