It took over 4 years, but the paper is finally published. In this study, we developed novel methods drawn from #LegalEpidemiology to map addiction #stigma in California law.

This #interdisciplinary work was conceptually and methodologically difficult!⤵️

…and emails I am expected to respond to, even though I cannot quite work out what they are getting at. Often accompanied by sprawling Excel spreadsheets I am meant to fill in with who knows what.

Correct. There are too many meetings and there should be much less of them and I will die on this hill.

So much of being a professor is stacked meetings where we talk about doing things and then never have the time to actually do the things.

Beautiful pen! I love the mid-70s Pilots (I have a 1976 Murex which might be my favorite pen I own. Am thinking about adding a K-500 Custom Stripe ...)

Totally agree

At least some of the elites in the US do still seem to value a sense of the humanities as rigorous education (tho some don't). The Canadian elites, which we love, also seem to really value the humanities.

profgoldberg.bsky.social
Daniel S. Goldberg @profgoldberg.bsky.social · 14h
Yes, I agree. Finding schools where the disdain for the humanities and fine arts is not so utterly brazen has been a challenge; it was palpably obvious on the tours, for example (in which the humanities were regarded as an opportunity for enrichment rather than actual rigorous fields).

On this episode, I talked with @ankahajkova.bsky.social about her remarkable book on queer Jewish lives during the Holocaust.

We had a great discussion about the challenges and complexities of queering the Holocaust and what it teaches us.

Check it out!

Yes, for sure! Totally agree. The network effects of the Ivies are real, but given the high quality of education at many, many schools, the astonishing tuition (another travesty) at the Ivies may not be worth the value-add.

Exactly. Elite colleges in many other parts of the world are 9x the size of the elites in the US. They have more profs, more physical infrastructure, and oh BTW often work very hard to build cohort-based & "schools-w/in-schools" XPs for their students. Often works well. US model is indefensible.

I mean the admissions rates at some of these schools are in the neighborhood of 3-4%. The intentional use of minuscule admissions rates to signal elite status is ethically indefensible and mostly specific to the US (elite colleges in many other parts of the world admit 40-50% of applicants)

as parent of a sr in HS RN, can confirm. There are thousands of incredible folx who get rejected from the Ivies.

Yeah and they introduced a ton of new stuff, much of which wasn't adequately explained IMO

I am enjoying it too! But it's pretty messy and confusing IMO. Too much being packed in, I think.

No comment OTM, but the notion that Jews can perpetuate antisemitism is of course consistent with basic critical theory and is thus utterly unremarkable. So if true it says nothing really about the merits or lack thereof of the IHRA definition.

Excited to finally get into #StrangerThings S5 in part for Holly. The rest of the main cast is older than me, older #GenX. But Holly, at least after they reconned her, is my age. She is a #Xiennial and so it's easier to place myself in her relative shoes ....

It was cool but we felt it jumped the shark a bit in the final few episodes. It was fun tho!
