Worth remembering that he only learned how to say "groceries" very recently:

"Very simple word, groceries. Like almost-you know, who uses the word? I started using the word-the groceries. When you buy apples, when you buy bacon, when you buy eggs" abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

Lots of important findings in Chancel et al.'s 2025 Climate and Inequality Report: shorturl.at/3MGrj. I'm surprised by how unequal the distribution of insurance coverage for climate losses is, even across Europe:

👉 Stories about economic change are never neutral. They make politics. In my new article in Sociological Theory @sociologicaltheory.bsky.social, I show how narratives about economic disruption become a source of legitimacy:

In this piece, I examine how memory organizations draw on past events to interpret the present event: through analogy, continuity, contextual reference, and rectification. I show that collective memory is structured through #networks.

📣 Glad to share that my article on how German and Polish memory organizations differently reacted to the Russian full-scale invasion of #Ukraine was just published in the American Journal of Cultural Sociology: link.springer.com/article/10.1... #sociology #collectivememory

✨ Thrilled to share that my article on narratives of disruptive economic change – engaging with Weber and E.P. Thompson, and others – will be coming out soon at Sociological Theory

#Durkheim has the first and the last word: How was #solidarity differently expressed in public discourse in 🇮🇹 and 🇩🇪 during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic? Our new article asks how the notion was framed on Twitter/X in both countries #sociology journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

„Babys“, „Häftlinge“, „Asylanten“- wie die FPÖ den #Klimabonus zerpflückte. Was als soziale Abfederung von steigenden #Energiepreise gedacht war, wird von der neuen österr. Reg. abgeschafft #Österreich #Koalition ✍️ zum Blogbeitrag: shorturl.at/DmzQy @cidape.bsky.social @ifswien.bsky.social

...we study major newspapers from the two countries to show that the notion of the #zombiefirm reflects ideas about the legitimate role of the state in the economy: @ifswien.bsky.social
March 3, 2025 at 11:24 AM
📣 Just out: In "Contagious Economic Failure?" we study how economic discourses around #zombiefirms during the coronavirus pandemic in 🇮🇹 and 🇩🇪 were steeped in moralizing language - "healthy" vs. "sick" firms, a "waste" of tax money... sound familiar? shorturl.at/hK1MD #sociology #narrativeeconomics

Back in New Haven, thinking of how my life as a PhD student here a few years ago was only made possible by #government - the roads, the Metro North, the schools, the parks, the IRS - infrastructure that only enables Yale's wealthy universe to function

👉 Very much looking forward to my upcoming paper presentation at Yale CCS on Friday, Feb 7th: "A cultural sociology of climate justice" @cidape.bsky.social @ifswien.bsky.social - it really turned into a paper on moral economy... ccs.yale.edu/courses/ccs-...
