Nice! Love the segue you describe.

Economists have basically the same methods training I received, just better PR. I’m representing a sociological perspective, which I think is broader and more interesting than Econ. I still go to the sociology professional meetings and maintain some of my grad school connections.

Sociologist here, working outside of academia, studying effects of integrated vs separated classrooms on teens and young adults with Autism post High School graduation.

Rural sociologist, phd, practitioner academic. Focussed on community development. Supported humans can solve and do (and endure) almost everything.

That’s me! I’ve always worked outside academia. I have a PhD in Sociology and still identify as a Sociologist.

Got ya! I am curious - why are you compelled to identify as a “sociologist”? I know folks wirh end stage economic degrees identify as economist outside of the academy. I wish more of us would. What factors led you to continuing identifying as a professional sociologist?

Thanks got yA

Central issue that ticks me off. Why there is a need to mark professional sociologists from sociology-doers. The media cannot tell the difference too many times z

Here is a piece I wrote *in 2017* about the strategy and I wish I had been wrong. www.insidehighered.com/advice/2017/...

That’s me @aasewell.bsky.social offering that advice. This is the article model.

solo, first, collab:
3,2,1 before tenure
1,1,2 after tenure

- bf tenure collabs of 3+ just do not weigh for making the case of independence
-af tenure collabs 3+ et al indicate success in training students
-bf favor solo to show independence, first to show leadership
-af, solo/1st swap as prefer

@sociological.bsky.social, I assume the answers will be outstanding, and go beyond where the body of research is already.

It’s been tough, to the say the least. I think there is male and international bias in who uses the #socsky. Lot of those are not sociologists, even they admit. In Europe. #soc stands for “social” not “sociology”.

I have tried to dock more variation on the @sociological.bsky.sociology feed.

Yeah, I noticed the slant as well, likely bc those were early users. As such, I’ve intentionally tried to find folks from other communities. Not easy. using the longer ties of #sociologysky and #sociologicalsky could help, since #socsky picks up a lot of social scientists who are not sociologists
