Harvard sociology denounces unfounded and racially-motivated attacks against Christina Cross. thecrimson.com/article/2024/3…

My colleague Jocelyn Viterna pursuing some much-needed, high-quality research clarifying the actual role of ‘indoctrination’ in Harvard’s course offerings. Worth reading anytime, but especially during these polarized times. Research evidence is a helpful tool!

Thanks, Suresh Venkatasubramanian (mostly in the sky now)! Really pleased to have helped inform this excellent, digestible work by issie lapowsky, on behalf of the Knight Foundation, regarding bringing academic research into federal government — in this case, -re-information integrity but applies to many other topics!

This is such wonderful news — Adam Gamoran will make a tremendous IES director. His commitment to scholarship in service of action to improve education and society is such a boon to this role. Hooray for this recognition and the leadership to come!

Wise colleagues: if you had only ONE CLASS to introduce the sociology of education in an Intro to Soc course, what would you assign for reading? This is so difficult! Suggestions and ways to think about creativity within constraints are very welcome.

I could not be more thrilled that the Evidence Team @OMBPress has spearheaded this incredible initiative to strengthen ties between the research community outside of USG and the research needs of federal agencies. This is huge!!! evaluation.gov/evidenceportal/
