I am unbelievably proud of the team that made this happen. Gus Segat, it’s been a real honor getting to work on this with you and the rest of the board. Let’s celebrate: New Sociological Perspectives, volume 1, issue 1 - is OUT!!

Seeing the very subject I did my masters dissertation on at LSE Sociology talked about by a scholar whose work I respect is really something else! Happy Saturday, people.

Having interviewed students at 6 colleges in 3 states on their experiences in college, I agree. There is so much more to be captured through students’ words than their multiple choice responses (although I am a fan of a well-crafted survey for some research questions).

Being a part of New Sociological Perspectives was a meaningful opportunity to get to engage in the world of academic publishing - and it was also good fun! I got to work alongside an incredibly smart, talented, and diverse team. I’d highly recommend it to anyone interested!

Hey Xfinity Support Xfinity and Comcast - what’s with the >12h internet outage in the midst of working hours? & why did the time that it’ll be restored get pushed three hours? Is this going to be an ongoing issue? I want to know so I can plan how I’m going to get my work done!

Hey Xfinity Support Xfinity and Comcast - this is the third time in two weeks we’ve had an internet, TV, etc outage that is supposed to last for a full day. Saturday’s lasted from morning til 3:30am the next day. What is going on? Why are there consistent outages?
