@MillyYYang Great work! Congrats!

Delighted to share that our paper is now out in Poetics.

We show how shared symbolic repertoires generate school-level connections — and how prestige, geographic location, and institutional classification shape shared use of symbols.

I'll also be at @ICSSIConference next Monday (me 2:30), presenting our ongoing work on using semantic networks to capture "vogue" & its driving forces--prevailing research fashion at a particular time. V. much want to meet X friends in person🥰. If you're around, let's hang out!

Excited to announce a new publication at @SocTheory . I argue that Émile Durkheim's sociology offers a largely unappreciated framework for a culturally oriented network formalism, grounded in his homo duplex model of human nature.

In sum, this work uses 1) NLP methods 2) a unique pairwise dataset to propose: Cultural ties link schools of thought in American Sociology (n/n)

Any same-ranking public school pairs share weaker ties but private school pairs share stronger ties. Public schools are different – regional schools, regional problems. Private schools are more alike especially when they hold similar status signals – legitimacy (6/n)
