I’ve been lucky enough to work alongside Alyssa (& hope to resume doing so post sabbatical) and she’s wonderful. Quick, clear, and a real lover of authors and books. I hope you’ll reach out and share your sociology book project ideas with her!!

Read this powerful story about sociologist Tatiana Andia's pursuit of a medically assisted death. What a force, what a loss, and what a gift that she shared her struggle with us.

I'm deeply, deeply saddened by the passing of Richard Alba @alba42.bsky.social. He was such a great scholar and source of support to me - blurbing my first book, writing for me on multiple occasions, and generally discussing ideas (incl when we didn't agree - which is rare for scholars these days).

In the face of attacks on research, education, and humanity, we're stronger together than we are on our own. So, I'm deeply grateful to get to be part of the ASA leadership team, to serve alongside Dr. Young, and to help members build solidarity and champion the essential work of sociology.
We are pleased to announce that Alford Young, Jr. @umich.edu has been elected the 2026-2027 ASA President, and Jessica Calarco, University of Wisconsin-Madison, has been elected Vice President. Read full election results: https://bit.ly/3mFBhFz.

Spillover or consolidation?

We tested 2 models of cultural polarization w/ ~2,000 Americans.

The data support consolidation: once we accounted for networks and dispositions, partisanship lost its explanatory power.

New study (w/ Hui Zheng) finds that among US-born older adults, Asian Americans are no longer the healthiest racial group.

This is because disability prevalence has declined for *every other racial group* since 2005, but not for Asian Americans.
