Very much worth the watch to learn more about CJ fines and fees--mind you, you don't have to be charged or convicted of a thing to get fined up the wazoo for your CJ contact nytimes.com/2024/10/16/opini…

Sociologists & adjacent (and we're serious about the adjacent) do you or a friend/colleague/frolleague have a book released/releasing between 2023 and March 2025? Do you want to have a discussion of that book at ESS 2025 (in March, in Boston)? If so submit a proposal by 10/1.

Reaching broader publics? Yeah, we do that! Co-editor @Amin_Ghaziani's latest book, Long Live Queer Nightlife, is racking up reviews, incl. @nytimes: "turn[ing] a funeral into a party," "Ghaziani shines as an academic." Congrats, Amin! #publicsociology nytimes.com/2024/03/25/books…

Weeks like this make editing the @contextsmag blog with @LettaPage such a joy! Check out the latest - @bshestakofsky (@SociologyatPenn) on the incentive structure of venture capital & @victorerikray (@uiowa) on the class politics of fine dining. ➡️contexts.org/blog/

This week's new releases included a lively author interview with @bshestakofsky (on his new @ucpress book) and a sumptuous meal of sociological insights from @victorerikray! If you're not keeping up with contexts.org, you're missing out! 🙏 blog editor @elenavanstee

This is powerful. This is courage. This is heartbreaking. Democratic senator @EvaBurchAZ announced on a floor speech that she needs an abortion. She shared her story and gave remarks about how cruel Arizona’s laws are to women. CNN aired a short clip last night, but it’s important for folks to hear all of her remarks. Please take the time & consider sharing.

The fruit of one of my stranger obsessions.... the chess-boxing photo essay is now out in @contextsmag Photos by, of course, @davidxgreen. And with many thanks to editor @RyanCentner and the brilliant and brilliantly named copyeditor @LettaPage.

Today I'm reminded of Memere Yvonne, my college roommate's grandma. When you asked her how she was doing, she would simply reply, "I do my goddamned best."
