An obituary for Leo Goodman in the NY Times nytimes.com/2021/02/17/obi…

I still feel in denial of this sad loss, but I'm grateful for such a wonderful tribute. My memories of convos with Rob are filled with his inspiring comments and witty remarks on research and random things in life. The influence of his scholarship and mentorship is everywhere.

Missed the chance to retweet this last week so I'm doing it now. Causal inference folks looking for postdoc positions to do extremely creative, rigorous, and important research with this brilliant team, please apply!

What a beautiful and powerful speech.

Thanks Paula! I am thrilled! Now I am ready to change my wifi password from (an encoded version of) "iwanttenure" to something else. Any suggestions, folks?

Fantastic news! Can't wait to welcome Dragana in person!

This morning, my husband, an econometrician, checked his phone and said, 3 economists won the Nobel and we both know their work. I, a sociologist, immediately guessed three names. All were correct. Apparently the overlap between econometrics and sociology is mostly harmless.

A true privilege serving on this panel in the past 1.5 years. I learned so much and It’s so great to see the report out, finally!

I'm truly honored and excited to be part of this amazing program. Can't wait to work more closely with my mentors Pat Sharkey and Elise Cappella (Elise Cappella) to study communities, connectedness, and what we can do to reduce youth inequality in the coming years!

Recent paper in Soc Methodology with my amazing coauthors Ananda Martin-Caughey and Andrew Levine! We move beyond the occupation-level analysis and show that economic polarization can and should be analyzed at the individual level.
