Out now from @CambridgeUP: my book, Labor and the Class Idea in the United States and Canada. If you've been wondering what's behind union decline (and how to fix it), then check it out #labor #1u #classidea: cambridge.org/us/academic/su…

How do we go from meeting boycott to member democracy?
We remain clear on our goal: heeding Palestinian civil society's call for institutional BDS. We outline at least three paths to get there.
Join the movement by pledging to #BoycottASA:

@eidlin rocking S4P's pin and showing support for Palestine 🇵🇸 We will be sharing more pins at our alternative conference in August. Another great reason to #boycottASA😉
There are many ways to support, and we appreciate how sociologists are showing up in this moment!

ASA is telling members to register asap for its conference & win free merch🙄 But more would register if ASA upheld democracy and let its members vote for S4P's resolution🇵🇸
Why did you decide to #BoycottASA? Did the free merch make you change your mind?

David Camfield and I go back three decades, to the days of the New Socialist Group and the various Days of Action citywide strikes across Ontario in the mid-1990s. 1/

We both ended up in sociology/labour studies, and have kept in touch through the years. But it’s been a long time since we actually saw each other in person. So it was great to reconnect on his home turf at the @CAWLS_ACETS meeting in Winnipeg ✊❤️ 2/end

It was great to reconnect with @Prof_deLeon at the @CAWLS_ACETS meeting in Winnipeg. Not only did we get to catch up & strategize together, but he got to pick up his hardware for the Leo Panitch Book Prize, & deliver the keynote. A true friend, colleague, and comrade ✊❤️

This concludes the CAWLS 2026 edition of the Academic Conference Fashion Report. For the next instalment I’ll be in New York in August, although it is yet to be determined if I’ll be attending ASA or the boycott-related counter-programming. 5/
