Advanced copy of The Trouble with Passion arrived! Surreal to be able to hold it in hand and grateful to the team at UCP for making it happen! Officially out Nov 9, but rumor has it University of California Press (is on Bluesky) is already shipping pre-orders. cechresearch.page.link/8u31


This fall, part of my faculty line moves to the NU Sociology department. (Yay!) At lunch with my new departmental colleague Wendy Espeland, I asked her for advice about a chapter for the book I'm writing. This op-ed is the result of that lunch: wapo.st/3RPvfMr

Important oped Simone Ispa-Landa! Simple one size all school rankings are not effective!

.Dr. Ethel Mickey - One challenge - the pushback that studying a white dominant industry (tech) can't be intersectional. One group's privilege is directly tied to another's disadvantage, need to unpack these forces. Notes work from Dr. Melissa Abad, PhD pallavi Lanje ASA Sociology @MalissaAlinor

Taught Saida Grundy, DEI Hire.🇸🇩's paper in undergrad "Social Side of College" class yesterday. Great way to introduce/reinforce key sociological concepts (the "veil," "doing gender," and "doing race.") doi.org/10.1093/socpro…

A little late but we are nearing the book portion in my Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) PhD seminar. And let’s just say, I’m excited. I chose books published in the last two years for the two halves of the course. Great way to talk about innovating in a crowded field.


The syllabus for my social side of college course included readings about sexual violence. And material on student-led, social-ecological prevention tools. But, I've had to cancel the readings because, guess what - it hit too close to home for my undergrads. Know Your IX

Have you recently published an article or book chapter about gender? Or have your friends, students, mentors, colleagues, etc., published about gender recently? If so, the deadline for the ASA Sex and Gender Section’s 2023 Distinguished Article Award is TOMORROW! More info👇

Thrilled to share Russell Sage Foundation journal issue on Suburban Inequality, edited by me, L'Heureux Lewis-McCoy + Stephen Matthews. It highlights dramatic shifts in suburbs, how to make sense of economic + ethnic-racial changes.

Glad to see that, in contrast to the backlash against antiracist education in many states, some states including NY are expanding Black studies and Asian American studies. Perhaps an opening for K12 students to learn about #reparations Sandy Darity, Retweets do not mean endorsement. nytimes.com/2023/03/08/nyr…

Super-useful paper out by Joanne Golann and David Diehl: Integrated Framework for Studying How Schools Respond to External Pressures - David K. Diehl, Joanne W. Golann, 2023 ASA Sociology of Education journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3102/00…

Happy to share this paper. The big surprise for me was the ABSENCE of victim-blaming narratives and the focus on institutions as the source of the problem. We also uncover women's adoption of a range of labor-intensive tactics. #SexualViolence #HigherEd journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…


So excited to be here with Simone Ispa-Landa for her talk for the Brown sociology department!!


It was so fun and interesting to talk to Scottie Andrew for this article on the role of clothes, gatekeeping, regional stereotypes, and the emotions associated with sorority rush for young elites in historically white Greek life ASA Sociology of Education cnn.com/style/article/…

Why are clothes so important for sorority rushees? Learn from NU Sociology & Weinberg College at Northwestern Simone Ispa-Landa (we now share her w/ Northwestern SESP) #malegaze cnn.com/style/article/…


My Psych Today column featuring new research by @ispaLanda and Sara Thomas. The College Greek system is anachronistic with different rules for men and women. Men hosting the parties puts women at risk for date rape. Here's why! Northwestern SESP psychologytoday.com/us/blog/gender…
