This is a great interview with my coauthor @cbrandtner.bsky.social about our recent @sfjournal.bsky.social paper: poetsandquants.com/2025/10/28/a... (the paper can be found here: doi.org/10.1093/sf/s...)
Are Business Schools Accidentally Turning Away Working-Class Talent?

I’m worried that many Americans have no idea what democracy even means, why it’s important, how it relates to our nation’s history, which is barely taught to begin with. Dems should be running civic workshops and teach-ins to explain, wild as it seems, why democracy is better than a dictatorship.

The @ethnoat.bsky.social is, hands down, the best resource and community for ethnographic work in management and organizations! Makes me wish I were an ethnographer (and didn't just collaborate with them).

1/ Excited to see this paper with the incredible Patrick Bergemann out in the American Journal of Sociology. We argue that a sense of ownership in a community—what we call territoriality—shapes the emergence of social norms in consequential ways.
