Émile Durkheim

Invented Sociology, and don't let any Germans tell you otherwise.

[Émile Durkheim @emiledurkheim]

I don’t mean to imply that you’re not a smart guy
And your style I’m not trying to inhibit
I remember you well in the Hilton Hotel
That’s all. Next year, stick to time limits.

[Émile Durkheim @emiledurkheim]

I remember you well in the Hilton hotel
In the Second Floor Gramercy session
Reading your slides and making asides
Putting up far too many regressions

#ASA19

[Émile Durkheim @emiledurkheim]

Oh but you weren’t fair, you just didn’t care
You just kept on talking and talking
Yakking away, I never once heard you say
“I’ll clip this … I can skip this …
Thanks, everybody, for coming”

In Seattle three years ago I saw a familiar-looking person at a reception and asked them “Oh are you the editor of Theory and Society?” They came up to me outside the Hilton just now and said “Yes”. #ASA19

My challenge* to attendees this #ASA19 is the same as it has been in the past. Bring me the Panama Hat of Andy Abbott.

*Andy Abbott not a valid participant in challenge.

Ah, New York. The city so nice they named it twice. Also the city so nice they can afford to leave huge piles of garbage on the sidewalks, apparently. #ASA19

Thanks to the usual Section Day rotation, this year Monday is the Day of Samokritika/Jiǎntǎo at #asa18
