CA Prop 1 has lots of problems, but it passed. Whether that's for good or bad now comes down to implementation.

In @latimes, I argue that simply adding $$ and beds is not a real plan. Poorly delivered care can backfire.

So how do we get this right? 🧵

What an honor to receive this award! Thanks so much to the anonymous person that nominated my paper - what a wonderful surprise! I wish I could have been there in person to receive it but was taking care of my new family member - baby Ben ❤️

I've used @Mad_In_America's thought-provoking podcasts in my Sociology of Mental Illness class, so what a pleasure to be a guest!

We tackle Prop 1, homelessness, and what I call the Frankenstein's monster of civil libertarianism and austerity. thanks @justinkarterphd

excited to share that my article on the transnational origins of regime change in Iraq has been accepted at the American Journal of Sociology.

This paper speaks to contemporary concerns about foreign policy lobbying and elite control over foreign affairs.

thanks @PeterMoskos for this chat on public order, harm reduction, & making our social control institutions better.

Plus a plug for ethnography: nothing gets us beyond our ideological comfort zone and theoretical priors like fieldwork

[Peter Moskos @PeterMoskos]

I have a new podcast episode! (Yeah, it's been a while.) Because I read a really great book. So I reached out to the author. And here we are chatting for an hour like smart people. Ain't podcasts great?
It's not about policing. It is police adjacent.

[Michael O. Johnston, Ph.D. @ProfessorJohnst]

Is involuntary psychiatric treatment the solution to the intertwined crises of untreated mental illness, homelessness, and addiction? Listen to my 🗣️w/ @avb_soc about "#Conservatorship: Inside California's System of #Coercion and #Care for #MentalIllness": https://t.co/eZQQFWNR3o

[Peter Moskos @PeterMoskos]

More a reminder to myself, since I meant to say when I finished reading it: "Sons, Daughters & Sidewalk Psychotics: Mental Illness & Homelessness in LA" by @NeilMGong is a _shockingly_ good book. I want to talk about it and maybe interview him. https://t.co/gGRN9klxqZ

[neil gong @NeilMGong]

@StefanoBloch @PeterMoskos Thanks Stefano!

[neil gong @NeilMGong]

@PeterMoskos Wow, thanks Peter, this is so kind. FYI I've been teaching chp 2-3 of "Cop in the Hood" and a little of the flogging stuff to my undergrads for a while, so I'd be very happy to chat. and maybe have you zoom in next year?

[Michel Estefan @michel_estefan]

I'm grateful that my colleagues Jesse Cordes Selbin, Sarah Macdonald, and I received this year's Scholarly Contributions to Teaching and Learning Award from the @ASAnews's section on @AsaTeaching! #ThankYou #sociology #soctwitter https://t.co/CglpHuV7ua

The academic job market is starting up again soon and many people are spending the summer prepping their materials. Here is some advice from someone who was never a market star (not even close) but succeeded anyway… (1/7)

[neil gong @NeilMGong]

Thanks to Scholars Strategy Network for having me on the "No Jargon" podcast!

We tackle inequality in psychiatric care, Housing First, and major developments in mental health policy like CA Prop 1.

[NoJargon @NoJargonPodcast]

Mental illness and a lack of affordable #housing are pressing issues in this #election year. In this new ep, @NeilMGong (@UCSanDiego) explores potential policy changes to address the intertwined challenges of homelessness & mental health.
