@ECCSSA Thank you!

I officially earned my PhD in Political Science today at Michigan State University. It took six very challenging but fruitful years. I still need some time to process it.

@benyoel_ Many thanks, Dr. Yoel!
I, too, have been honored to complete the program together and to share the office with you!
Good luck in your new position at Stanford! :)

[Stanislav Skritsky @Skritsky]

@AndieWinnipeg Yep. Though I have some realpolitik offers in Eastern Europe.
Still, I love science, and I hope it's mutual. So let's see :)

I defended my PhD dissertation today :)
I'm eternally indebted to my advisor, Dr. Erica Frantz, as well as the other committee members: Dr. Eric Chang, Dr. Cristina Bodea, and Dr. Ana Bracic. Heartfelt thanks to my friends and colleagues, particularly Dr. Ben Yoel! :)

@AndieWinnipeg Hard to say which is better: the news or the photo. - Whatever, congrats on both! :)

@timgill924 Societies are "imagined communities" (B. Anderson). So, the element of fiction in Sociology is still sneakily present :)

[Stanislav Skritsky @Skritsky]

@AndieWinnipeg The lady is classy, as usual :)

[Stanislav Skritsky @Skritsky]

@timgill924 Oh! Just noticed that Tim Gill is still here. I thought he was dead. Great to be proven wrong! Tim is an outstanding scholar and human!

[Stanislav Skritsky @Skritsky]

@benyoel_ @miwahman @ahalterman @StanfordCDDRL Huge congrats, Ben!!! :)

@AndieWinnipeg "O tempora, o mores!" - Sad, but it is an intrinsic part of progress. Yet those who oppose it in the not-so-distant future will be equated with Luddites.
