@ASAnews Pres. Mary Romero holds up Jane Addams and Ida B Wells as founders of #sociology that relentlessly pursues social justice. Come visit the Jane Addams Collection at @Swarthmore#ASA19
And I was on a panel on scholarly activism, with @pardoguerra and @familyunequal & @fabiorojas someone from @ASAnews' new Sociology Action Network. I have a LOT of thoughts about this topic, it turns out, and am hoping to write them up. Maybe later, on twitter.
I got to be on a panel about @safiyanoble 's book Algorithms of Oppression, with @AprylW, and that was fun and fulfilling and everyone who uses Google (which is basically all of us) should read her book, which is not sociology but IS really good.
It was exciting and fun to be at the book launch celebration for _The Class Ceiling_ by Daniel Laurison @daniel_laurison of @swarthmore and _The Revolution that Wasn't_ by Jen Schradie @schradie during the American Sociological Association meeting. Congrats! #ASA19
Great to see @SamFriedmanSoc and @Daniel_Laurison's vital research into the class ceiling on prime time television - but it was very depressing viewing. We urgently need to include class in our discussions of diversity and inclusion.
“My greatest hope is that this national recognition will help others to see the value of engaged scholarship for students, staff, faculty, and communities with whom we work, ” says Ashley Henry.
