PolSci PhD from @uni_copenhagen. The quantification of the world. Education, wellbeing, poverty.

Måler vi, hvad vi værsdæstter - eller værdsætter vi det, der kan måles, spørger jeg sammen med Helene Ratner i nyeste nummers af Asteriks. Det er nok lidt begge dele. https://t.co/SFapGrABYZ

Hvordan påvirker det eleverne at få karakterer for arbejdsindsats eller orden og adfærd – eller slet ikke at få karakterer?

Det vil Styrelsen for Undervisning og Kvalitet undersøge med et nyt forsøgsprogram i 8., 9. og 10.-klasse.

It's Friday. Have some history.

So you know Hadrian's Wall? Well for over 1000 years everyone thought it was built by someone else.

Until, in 1840, John Hodgson, an unknown Northumbrian clergyman published the LONGEST footnote in history.

Bohemian rhapsody for postdocs:

Is this a real job?
Or more like a PhD?
Caught in short contracts
No chance of stability

Open your eyes
Look up to PIs and see
I'm just a postdoc
I get no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Stress is high
Pay is low

@WhereisDean Effective PR is (often) about being affective- so you're right either way:)

What's the state of the art on Bourdieu's theory of cultural reproduction - bollocks or bliss? I have an idea, just published in the Handbook of Sociological Science. Get it here if you're interested: https://t.co/bidDctJotz

Jeg skal gennemføre nogle interviews om #teknologiforståelse og søger en lille gruppe på 4-8 elever i 8. klasse på en skole i Kbh, jeg kan afprøve interviewet med - gerne næste uge, 30-45 minutter. Send gerne en mail på [email protected] hvis jeg må låne 'dine' elever. Del gerne!

@M_B_Petersen Undersøgelserne PISA og PIRLS har nogle spørgsmål om skoleelevers læsevaner. Der er også denne https://t.co/j2skSxbftY og https://t.co/08UTgYPCsh Men de går ikke helt så langt tilbage som 70'erne

Make sure to register for the webinar with @nordenen on 31 March at 1:30 pm CET to learn more about the latest call in IEA's #ResearchforEducation series. The proposals should be based on the analysis of #TIMSS data from the Northern European countries: https://t.co/OULquzLp95

Something's seriously wrong when we need brain scans to argue that moms and their kids shouldn't live in poverty. The new human capital research frontier is wild 🤯

Der er noget dybt misforstået ved kritikken af ligestillingen af barselsregler som et overgreb på familiers frihed.

En ting er det åbenlyse hykleri. Der var allerede 14 uger øremærket til kvinder. Det mener de mange kritikere selvfølgeligt ikke var et overgreb på friheden.

I get frustrated when I see "rigorous" and "evidence-based" applied exclusively (or even primarily) to quantitative research. Narrative research is also "rigorous." Stories are evidence. Emotions are evidence. Analysis of affective responses is evidence. History is evidence.

[Branko Milanovic @BrankoMilan]

A thread on "Borgen".
I just finished the first series (10 episodes, I think) of "Borgen". It was way above my expectations which indeed were low, based on the idea that a political drama in a country as orderly as Denmark cannot be very interesting.

[Rune Møller Stahl @RuneStahl]

This might be the best piece of methods advice I've seen.

@tobstax Jeg er næsten sikker på, at det er billede fra da de offentliggjorde politisk aftale om nationale test i februar. Kan genkende Henrik Dahls trøje.. :)

Important context: Snow didn’t use this map to discover how cholera spread.

He knew water was the source 5 whole years before he commissioned this map from cartographer Charles Cheffins.

The map was used to convince authorities and the public https://t.co/SKNFm63UOV
