There's something so frustrating as a scholar who keeps up with current events to be so concerned about some social crisis currently happening -- that has been happening for years and is already known to be endangering lives -- And then to see next to nothing about it on research databases. 🤨
What are we doing here? How many more re-hashings of Focault do we have to have before we start turning some collective energy towards some unexplored and pertinent puzzles?
#Trans people have been vocal for years/decades about anti-trans content creators online and their impact on legislation, violence, and the well-being of trans people.
#Sociology under-investigates anti-trans rhetoric online as a modern social crisis, lacking tools for concrete acknowledgement and intervention. Transphobic tweets are statistically modeled, but major anti-trans content creators can run free to be non-consensually intimate with trans lives online.

#Generations #Sociology #SocialSciences: "Here’s a short overview of how we’ll approach generational research in the future:
We’ll only do generational analysis when we have historical data that allows us to compare generations at similar stages of life. When comparing generations, it’s crucial to control for age. In other words, researchers need to look at each generation or age cohort at a similar point in the life cycle. (“Age cohort” is a fancy way of referring to a group of people who were born around the same time.)
When doing this kind of research, the question isn’t whether young adults today are different from middle-aged or older adults today. The question is whether young adults today are different from young adults at some specific point in the past.
To answer this question, it’s necessary to have data that’s been collected over a considerable amount of time – think decades. Standard surveys don’t allow for this type of analysis. We can look at differences across age groups, but we can’t compare age groups over time."

In recent decades, the concept of #Aesthetics has changed considerably, due to contributions from fields such as #Anthropology, #Sociology and #philosophy Even in political studies, aesthetics is beginning to be seen from points of view that are very different from those based on "beauty".

"The Toll of #inequality
Excess African American Deaths in the United States over the Twentieth Century"
An article by Mary R. #Jackman and Kimberlee A. #Shauman
https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/du-bois-review-social-science-research-on-race/article/abs/toll-of-inequality/9F0994F128271F21B04749C1E8D905C1 #USA #racism #whiteSupremacy #blackness #history #learning #learn #sociology #politics #USPol @ecosocio #demography #mortality
![Abstract:
To take stock of the human toll resulting from racial inequality in the United States, we estimate the number of excess deaths that accumulated among African Americans over the twentieth century as a result of the enduring racial gap in mortality rates. We assemble a wide array of demographic and vital statistics data for all years since 1900 to calculate the number of Black deaths in each half-decade that occurred in excess of what would be projected if Blacks had experienced the same gender- and age-specific mortality rates as Whites. We estimate that there were almost 7.7 million excess deaths among African Americans from 1900 through 1999. Those deaths comprised over 40% of all African American deaths over the century.
Excess deaths were highest in the early decades (peaking in 1925–1934), but the only period of sustained decline was 1935–1949. Subsequent reductions in excess deaths were relatively modest and unstable, and in the last decade of the century the percentage of Blacks’ deaths that were excess returned to levels as high as in the first decade. That trajectory is less positive than the trajectory for the racial gap in life expectancy over the century.
[…] in the succeeding decades they progressively hit harder among older African Americans, many of them in the prime of life when their economic and social pursuits were vital to their families and communities. Excess deaths were also especially heavy among Black women for most of the century.

Despite a sample size of only ~23 victims per year, the relationship of sexually assaulted women to their attackers in the National Crime Victimization Survey is very consistent: About 23% strangers, 39% acquaintances, and 29% intimates (weighted).

In the US 2021, among homicides with perpetrators known to police, 2.5-times as many women as men were killed by intimate partners. Or, 43% percent of women who were murdered were killed by intimate partners, compared with 7% of men. Female victims were 71% of intimate partner homicides.

Meso-foundational explanations
Analytical sociologists give primacy to microfoundational explanations of social facts. I suggest that it is equally legitimate to seek out "meso-foundational" explanations (based on causal mechanisms for a social fact at the meso level), and even "macro-foundational" explanations. The examples imply that there is no “up” and “down” when it comes to explanatory primacy. Microfoundations have no special priority.

I have to wonder if in some future time, all of our modern economic order will be reclassified as a variant of slash and burn farming taken to a global scale.

One thing I wish I had expressed more clearly, is that a dependency on child labor for survival within a family replicates the motivation in agrarian societies for larger families.
Without mechanization, children expand production for the parents. They help with food gathering and growing. Now we have mechanization AND the necessity for child labor. welcome to the desert of the real.
What are the best references on why "higher" and "lower" should ideally not be used in relation to socio-economic position and that terms such as advantaged and disadvantaged should be used instead?

One of the thinkers who has influenced me most is the sociologist John Law, one of the creators of Actor-network theory, along with Bruno Latour, among others. I especially like his book "After Method" (2004), very influenced by the amazing work of Annemarie Mol (especially her "The Body Multiple"). For those who want to know more about Law, I recommend his website http://heterogeneities.net/ There is a lot of very interesting material (papers, projects, etc.).
How to study the messiness of social realities? ➡️ "I want to argue that while standard methods are often extremely good at what they do, they are badly adapted
to the study of the ephemeral, the indefinite and the irregular".

For the sci fi minded out there, here's a dystopic idea, one consequence of child labor is it restores the motivation for larger families. Large families are valuable in agrarian societies because children are productive capacity and social security and tribe or clan wealth and defense. I don't know if the rich fucks think this way, but imagine this as their labor /economic model. . #politics #economics #anthropology #sociology

So I've written a foreword draft and outlined the first couple chapters of a short book, tentatively called "Post-Apocalyptic Sociology." Someone said it was "retrohistorical archeology." I consider it a meditation on how today, as humankind holds the corpus of all history, literature, survey date, etc.- we face the same issue as every age before us.
Namely, how do we keep this alive for future generations, and if we were to put ourselves in the shoes of future (or far future) social scientists, how can we make it so they can conduct the kind of research we would want to do?
We can evaluate prior generations' attempts to do this, whether explicitly #propaganda or good-faith attempts that have had their effective strengths and maddening shortcomings.
Attached is the (very rough) foreword, which I wrote mostly on Friday to just have it down so I can start doing some outlining and figure out what #library access and databases I need to use.

Does humor have a frequency of representation, and can it be related to the health of a community?
Like, we've had that behavioral quirk since before we walked upright, but how has that affected the development of communities on the macro scale?
If I walk down every street and forum in a city, how often does one see an intentional display of humor?
Can this then be correlated with other sociological factors? And across cultural regions?

"Early #Afrikaans developed as a pidgin from both #Dutch and #Malay. Its writing, pioneered mainly by religious teachers of Malay origin, was in the #Arabic script. Over time, the script was modified in parts to suit the needs of spoken Afrikaans. Arabic was the script of early Afrikaans from the 18th century. The first two written texts in Afrikaans were commentaries on the Qu'ran, their publication funded by the #Ottoman empire."
Why does this matter?
"Research on the written tradition in #Africa is relatively recent. Part of the reason lies in the wide acceptance of two assumptions: that Africa is an oral civilization, and that the literature written in Arabic is not part of African civilization."

Gripe du jour: #ASA #sociology. I just declined membership of the editoral board of Sociological Theory. Love the journal, very honored, excellent editor, but I couldn't join unless I became an ASA member.
now I'm fine with providing state state-subsidized and/free labor for the discipline and even publishers , but paying $300 per year to do so is a bit bizarre.
Apart from the ASA issue, we REALLY need to rethink publishing practices.
One of my alltime faves tackles a Durkheimian mystery: what exactly is altruistic suicide and is it a relic of traditional societies? Durkheim famously saw disintegration as the consequence of modernity, & the social root of most ills. Older societies, characterized by ascribed status, slow-changing shared culture, and a web of kin relations was protective, he reasoned.

This is great. The rise of co-authorship in #sociology journals. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/23780231231171115 by @dustinstoltz ht @omarlizardo @academicchatter @sociology
On that note, I do wonder about the impact of (eventually?) all social media sites operating on the same network on context collapse.

I understand that the Sociological Research Assiciation is Very Important but if people are going to brag about membership on their CVs I'm going to need to see a website, public membership list, and other signs of legitimacy.

Computational sociologists! Our annual #ASA Computational Sociology Happy Hour will be part of the Math Soc reception (joint with Methods & several other sections) this year at Tir Na Nog in Philly on Sat (8/19) from 6:30-9:30p. We will gather in our own room; join us! #ASA23
PS: Anyone know if any ASA sections are on Mastodon?
Hello! In my academic career I mainly studied the #history of intellectuals and #nationalism in #Egypt. I've also worked in #digitalhumanities, developing technology for digital critical editions. I now work as a software developer. I'm especially interested in the #sociology of #climate, #migration, and #inequality. #introduction
How did I just hear about this #sociology https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/turkey-attack-leaves-mail-carrier-with-broken-hip-i-was-horrified/3012235/
We're looking for more #men to take our #sociology #research #survey on relationships!
Others (18+ in US) are still welcome to participate. Survey takes 10-20 minutes, link with more info: tinyurl.com/relationshipsurvey23
Please share widely, especially with men you know — my collaborators (Canton Winer at UCI and Hannah Tessler at Yale) and I would really appreciate it.
One person who had a front-row seat for this transformation was Wendy Li, a PhD candidate in #sociology at #UWisconsin, who served in the USTR's office from 2015-17, and who leveraged her contacts among officials and lobbyists (and ex-lobbyists turned officials and vice-versa) to produce a fascinating, ethnographic account of a very specific form of #RegulatoryCapture.

Does anyone have a list of #sociology or other social science journals with active RSS feeds? If so would it be useful & fair to set up mastodon feeds using this code from @dave ?
My fantastic UNL #Sociology colleague Kelsy Burke's new #book, The Pornography Wars, comes out next week.
Preorder your copy - it's worth it.
Don't believe me? Read this review in The Atlantic! https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2023/05/anti-pornography-wars-book/673492/
...OK, I ended up sending this to #ASASociology council just now. Interested to see what they say!

Members of #ASASociology Council, I'd love to know more about what the discussion on this has been like. I'm coming at this with a strong opinion that it's a mistake, but I promise that a conversation about it won't be antagonistic and I'm open to changing my mind!
The American Sociological Association wants to limit members' ability to weigh in on organizational matters through ballot referenda; if the proposed bylaws amendment passes, members can weigh in only on public commentary.
Of course it would be silly and harmful for members to micromanage organizational questions, or to pass referenda that violate important standards and laws regarding, say, ASA's status as an employer.
BUT (cont'd)
