Thrilled about the publication of my article in Social Forces. I theorize the construction of immobile fatherhood, showing how poor fathers forge identities while juggling work and childcare in families headed by migrant mothers. @SF_Journal @sgSMUSOSS https://t.co/0q0ykHT1VN

Indonesia is about to hold the largest single day election: 200m voters will elect a Pres/VP plus 20K national and local reps from a pool of 1/4 mil candidates. Join us @CarnegieEndow to discuss what the polls may bring to the world's 3rd largest democracy and the SEA region

I'm thrilled to join @FloridaState as an assistant professor. Looking forward to being a part of an exciting intellectual community! At the same time, I'll miss my friends at SMU and in Singapore who have enriched my life and professional experiences in innumerable ways!

It can be hard for students to bring literature into conversation.

Today in MedSoc, I am using this activity to help them connect the last 3 weeks' readings together: @AdiaHWingfield's Flatlining, @TaniaMJenkins's Doctors' Orders and @KellyUnderman's Feeling Medicine.

@bshestakofsky @ucpress congrats Ben!

[Anthony DiMario @dr_dimario]

My first solo article is now online @ASR_Journal ! I use a case study of harm reduction services to theorize forms of poverty governance that maintain people's lives by supplementing policy failure. I term this palliative governance. Link below, more soon. https://t.co/x1arlNFwnn

[Josh Seim @JoshSeim]

New article @socprobsjournal w/ @dimario_soc! Using LA as a historical case, we theorize the medical governance of urban poverty. We conceptualize & compare 3 spaces: clinical med, welfare med, & penal med.

And, yes, the title is a riff on Davis’ COQ 😎
