Got this in the mail yesterday—the newest addition to my bookshelf. Thanks @UChicagoPress! Can't wait for the book to come out next month! Link to pre-order 👇
We should call it The Hillary Cycle: -Reject Progressive economic proposals -Propose social justice reform instead -Social justice reform alienates the very voters it was supposed to attract -Blame Progressives for social justice reform backlash x.com/nick_field90/s…
Worth noting that the Sierra Club is the most Establishment of environmental organizations and was apparently more focused on social justice issues than even the younger Sunrise Movement was x.com/Fahrenthold/st…
I've seen some folks express surprise over how skeptical SCOTUS appears to be of Trump's tariff power. But it's important to keep in mind this isn't about checking presidential power. The Roberts court has always been radically pro-business.
Roberts and Barrett seem skeptical of Trump’s case on tariffs at SCOTUS arguments “Who pays the tariffs? If a tariff is imposed on automobiles, who pays them?” Roberts asks Trump lawyer
My article in @RHE_ASHE is now live! I show that highly "employable" majors pay off for graduates even in the absence of technical skill use. As a result, I advance a conceptual framework that views majors as unique sites of cultural value. Check it out! muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/…
The backlash against wonkery and the reduction of politics to data isn't "anti-intellectual." It is the recovery of intellectualism against the wave of shallow, gamified casino-empiricism that has drowned our public discourse.
Weird round of mildly anti-intellectual backlash lately against center-left data nerd types from people who are less data-y and less centrist (all of which is totally fine) but are also objectively speaking huge dorks themselves.
Great article on how the AI bubble is the latest part of a "broader effort to snatch away decision-making power over teaching, learning, and research from subject matter and pedagogy experts and give it to donors and administrators." defector.com/higher-eds-rus…
FSU is hiring 2 APs in spatial data science! Open to any social science discipline, including sociology. This makes at least 5 faculty jobs at FSU this year open to Soc PhDs. Consider applying if you do spatial research! (ad says Geography, but it's open) jobs.omni.fsu.edu/psc/sprdhr_er/…
I increasingly believe that rote memorization of major geographic features like US states, major rivers, countries, etc. needs to return in full force. Should be treated like memorizing times tables. Basic building blocks for understanding the country and the world.
One of my biggest blackpills as a social studies teacher has been discovering kids don't learn any geography. I'm at a relatively nice school today teaching 8th graders how to label a map of the US with state names. These kids are in algebra and they don't know what Ohio is
I know it shouldn’t, but it still astounds me that Dem elites could see this unprecedented grassroots energy and the incredible comms talent of this candidate and conclude that their top priority had to be killing it. Zero genuine interest in wrestling back power from the GOP.
Could not believe how many people came out to see @grahamformaine in Lewiston…and then I went down to the overflow room. 🤯 750 people and counting!
Sometimes it feels like Bernie is one of the few of his generation to understand lifting up future leaders is good, actually.
Bernie on @axios report that Janet Mills plans Senate run in Maine: “It saddens me that Democrats are gonna have to raise millions of dollars fighting against each other…[Platner] can win the Senate race in Maine, I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that happens.”
I had a great time chatting with Andrea Weckerle on The Ready Living podcast about my new book, Major Trade-Offs, and the value of college majors. Check it out if you're interested! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
My department is hiring in African history and the United States since 1865! Both positions are tenure-track, and both hires will be made at the assistant level. I'm not on either search committee (sabbatical, baby), but I'm more than happy to answer any questions you might have.
Readers have long been frustrated by Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken". Thanks to AI, it is now possible to explore BOTH of the paths described by the speaker
University of Utah Dept of Sociology and Criminology is hiring a tenure track assistant professor! I’m happy to chat and answer any questions about the job, SLC, etc. DM or email me. PS: we are a great group of colleagues to have 😁 Link: utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/187994
In honor of Labor Day, I want to recognize UFF, our union at FSU. I am thrilled to be on a unionized faculty; I have no doubt that it’s b/c of UFF that the material conditions of my employment are so exceptional. None of it would be possible without labor. Solidarity forever!
I had a blast chatting with Dan Berrett about Major Trade-Offs, and I'm so glad he posted our conversation on @chronicle. If you're interested in the relationship between college majors, internships, and entry-level jobs, check it out! chronicle.com/newsletter/the…
In my book I argue that liberal arts skills *are* employable skills. Hopefully, more studies like the one below can help us shift the harmful and inaccurate narrative that only technical/vocational majors prepare students for the workforce. theconversation.com/studying-philo…
Happening tomorrow! If you're in the DC area, consider coming out! peoplesbooktakoma.com/event/major-tr…
