@ajshackman Yes, thanks (both slides and readling list): [email protected]

@seth_abrutyn @amyersoc Totally, in my micro soc class, we do this with onset in Turner/Stets Sociological theories of human emotions. Annu. Rev. Sociol. Clear principles to explain social micro world, and then students theorize own model by combining principles.

[Lasse S. Liebst @LSLiebst]

@amyersoc @seth_abrutyn For me, the game changer is only to teach in explanatory principles, with no theorists named in the syllabus. IR explanatory principles, dramaturgical explanatory principles, etc. Students also like it, in my experience!

[Lasse S. Liebst @LSLiebst]

@seth_abrutyn @kbkarlson Sound so cool; a mix of G. and de Waal is also a core for us. The ethological method is the basis of all our work, cf. G's praise in Rel in Pub. Hence we hired primatologist Virginia Pallante. I feel we should set something up, so rare to find sociology peers with this interest!

[Lasse S. Liebst @LSLiebst]

@kbkarlson @seth_abrutyn I agree, and there's a somewhat untold story about that. By the way, we have a trained primatologist in my group, and it's quite something to discuss Goffman with her. She was not impressed by his essayist style, which we have somehow become accustomed to.

@crimoneva @NSCR_Instituut @StijnRuiter1976 @BeateVolker @MarieLindegaard @sh_langton @AmyNivette @OpenCriminology looks amazing!

[Lasse S. Liebst @LSLiebst]

@JukkaSavo @FelsonR @Quillette Agreed, also my intellectual hero!

[Lasse S. Liebst @LSLiebst]

@JukkaSavo I agree, I also really like this book, alongside Smith's work in general, btw

As a counterweight to the #ASA2024 meeting advocating for "sociology as a form of liberatory praxis: an effort to not only understand structural inequities, but to intervene in socio-political struggles," I suggest reading Jonathan H. Turner's critique of this stance in sociology

[ASA Sociology @ASAnews]

The #ASA2024 online portal is open for submissions! In addition to paper/extended abstract submissions, proposals will be accepted for courses, workshops, preconferences, and symposiums. The deadline is February 26. https://t.co/vAw5397dvu

@JohnHolbein1 I do that as well! Super valuable when you are a non-native speaker, and my prompts follow this Nature commentary. https://t.co/J7ADgVRSZS

Some reflections coming out of a faculty meeting on AI in stats teaching today. With apologies for cannibalizing the thoughts of my smarter colleagues, a thread. 1/6

When the Gino fraud hit a few days ago, I told my mom this is why I leave the room when she listens to Hidden Brain. Because shows like that are so much more likely to cover research like Gino’s. I said this w/o checking if Gino had been on Hidden Brain, but of course she has. 😢

@kbkarlson @AsaMethodology @ASAnews @KuSamf Congratulations, Kristian!

@MushtaqBilalPhD Tillykke, så velfortjent!

The replication crisis in the social sciences can end. That's what a new paper by @JProtzko found.

Four laboratories made discoveries with large samples, confirmatory tests, and preregistered methods and hypotheses.

The findings replicated.

Do good science and it's replicable.

One of my favorite papers in recent years included this diagram. It shows the impact of controlling for three different types of variables: confounders, colliders, and mediators.

With confounders, control is good. With the others, you ruin your result by controlling.
