This just in: #Williamsburg gentrified! Liked @nytimes recap? Then you’ll love my new book from @NYUpress. There Was Nothing There explores how the macro changes impacted residents’ daily lives. Thanks NYT for keeping wburg's #gentrification relevant...

There have been many Williamsburgs over time. This timeline charts that remarkable evolution in words and images, year by year via @NYTimes' @skurutz https://t.co/qZamKEKnpA

@raiderjuls @ScottHayes8383 @kprather88 @BenBonnema Why should an employee making ~$12 an hour have to join a “best practices” group with “leadership”? He works at a store in NYC which means this likely isn’t his only job- and all of the information in this tweet are reasons he should have *more* protection.

@DocDantzler Saw this on ‘the professor is in’ page and was like- wait a minute I know him!! Happy for your students and eager for higher ed to get with it already.

@ong_going I cleared off a shelf on my bookcase to use as a standing desk. It’s not perfect but it definitely helped!

@Vicki62375239 @Godwentwhoops @BonginoReport @AOC He asked what the DSA is doing and I answered, not trying to get into a pissing match about who is doing what.

@Godwentwhoops @BonginoReport @AOC 🙋🏻‍♀️ My local Democratic Socialist chapter has raised $26k in grocery funds for people who are suddenly out of work and are also delivering groceries to older folks and other people whose health is compromised.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

COVID deaths are disproportionately spiking in Black + Brown communities.

Why? Because the chronic toll of redlining, environmental racism, wealth gap, etc. ARE underlying health conditions.

Inequality is a comorbidity. COVID relief should be drafted with a lens of reparations.

Brilliant and powerful students of @mercycollege presenting their gentrification research at the @eastern_soc meetings this weekend! @essnet #ESS2020

[Sara Martucci @smartucci_phd]

The name “DuBois” is in the theme for the 2021 Sociology meeting and now people are having a meltdown on the discussion boards because their whiteness is *that* fragile. They’re arguing that it’s irrelevant because he died “more than 50 years ago”. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m living the academic nightmare right now: I lost already-graded papers AND my red pen. Please send thoughts and prayers. #professorlife

@GC_CUNY representing at #kunzsummit thanks for organizing such an inspiring conference @Prof_Casanova !!

[Sara Martucci @smartucci_phd]

Quantitative methodologies take the emotions out of gentrification research- that is definitely useful at some stages of the process but the emotions of people experiencing (and driving!) gentrification need to be included as well. Mixed methods for the win! #kunzsummit

[Sara Martucci @smartucci_phd]

Learning so much about quantitative methodology today. Nice to get out of my tiny qualitative gentrification research bubble and into a- mostly overlapping but still- different(!) quantitative gentrification research bubble! @KunzCenterSoc #kunzsummit

[Sara Martucci @smartucci_phd]

@BrendenBeck ah yes, the age old question- which came first, the hipster chicken or the luxury coop? #kunzsummit

[Sara Martucci @smartucci_phd]

Although...still wondering where the bunny is, and what happened 😪

[Sara Martucci @smartucci_phd]

Thanks @AndrewRQI and @RightQuestion for blowing some minds at our Faculty Seminar Day. Can’t wait to use some of those tactics in the classroom!!
