Come join us on Friday at 4 pm for my book forum at #ASA23! It will be Q&A style with amazing panelists @johndiamondphd@KatePhillippo and Karolyn Tyson, with Max Cuddy moderating.
Lots of non-computer scientists are starting to use machine learning. This is exciting, but best practices are not always followed. Announcing a consensus-based checklist that will help researchers and reviewers. Thanks @sayashk & @random_walker for leading the effort.
Howard Becker's clear-eyed treatment of values and social research still helps me roll up my sleeves and get to work on Monday morning. ("Whose Side Are We On?" (1967)) https://t.co/pP78hOjiFY
#ASA2023 is coming right up. A thread about interesting panels that I've found (and I would love to hear more from others!)
1. Contemporary and Emerging Issues in Computational Sociology.
How should sociologists be contributing to the current moment? https://t.co/PaeNh4pjAo
Read the thread. The book sounds like an important contribution to the discussion about the politics of care in education. Looking forward to reading it!
The 🔥hot🔥 summer issue of CONTEXTS is live! This one's about the power of place. Unlike a space, which is a location (physical or virtual), a place is a cultural object. Think of it like this: space + meanings = place. Get oriented, and excited, here: https://t.co/IQQzBywx12.
Grading and testing take up so much space in the lives of students, teachers, parents, professors…we wanted to provide an account of how we got here and how we might change things for the better.
We are very proud of this work and excited for people to read it.
New: The White House has been pretty quiet on K-12 education — so picking prominent education researcher Kirabo Jackson to join the Council of Economic Advisers is notable. We'll see if that hints at a more robust K-12 agenda. https://t.co/4NU5MQTAAU
The American Sociological Association gives a free year of membership to those who just finished there PhD. I had no clue about this, and I'm guessing many others don't either. Reach out to ASA Membership for the details. rt/circulate widely! #SocAF
Released today! Groundbreaking new book by @KathrynEdin@Tijone @profshaefer on American poverty, racial inequality and what we can do about it. Perhaps a surprise to many urban sociologists: most disadvantaged places in US are RURAL. See excerpt: https://t.co/rtzFTwZupI
