@waitwait It was so hilarious to hear Maya Hawke joke and sing a funny song about Flannery O’Connor dying of lupus. ROFL. Luckily there are meds and it’s no longer a life sentence for us today but it’s still no joke. #lupus #lupusawarenessmonth

I posted these wild 1921 dance costumes a few days ago. Intrigued, I dug into the history of the couple who made them and found a gut-wrenching story of a doomed marriage.

I tell it here, in...

'The Heartbreaking Fate of Lavinia Schulz & Walter Holdt.'

@alannagillis3 So sorry to hear about the health issues. This is a really thoughtful email--I did not have the bandwidth to do this when I was diagnosed with lupus. Please DM me if you like, academics are bad at sharing and getting support because we want to be superhuman!

The status of teaching relative to research in American sociology is the single most emblematic example of the persistence of racism, classism, and sexism within the discipline. Don’t believe me? Answer these three questions in your head:

[Rifat Salam @ProfSalam]

I will that there are ways that they help that are t exclusionary—like wanting to connect with people you know at the same dept or region. I get it.

Can we talk about the #ASA2023 name badges? I know a lot of people have feelings about the removal of institutional affiliations…1/3

[Rifat Salam @ProfSalam]

I made space for myself here but it wasn’t easy. If you don't like the change, consider the potential gatekeeping function of including institutions on badges. Now we are forced to engage with people before we can decide whether they belong. 3/3. #ASA2023 @ASAnews

At first I thought it was a little strange but then I remembered what it was like nearly 20 years ago when I went for the first time with my community college’s name versus my grad school. A furtive glance at my badge and then I became invisible. 2/3

🔥JAMES BALDWIN: “I don’t know what most 🇺🇸 white people feel — I can only conclude what they feel from the state of their institutions.”

Brilliantly answers a question we hear so often- white folks asking “why does everything have to be about race?”

[Rifat Salam @ProfSalam]

@Edu_Historian The College Board’s power includes exclusionary policies as well—ever wonder why there is no AP Sociology? It’s not because the American Sociological Association didn’t submit an excellent proposal or lack of interest as many high schools offer sociology.

I noticed that there was very little live tweeting from the ASA 2022 conference.

@revpeterlaws I remember this from when I was a kid, thinking, will this guy ever have a chance to be happy?

@michaelrosino That’s a sure sign that summer’s end is nigh.
