Summers apologizes here for communicating with Epstein, but not for the content of his messages. Not good enough.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Harvard University should sever ties with Larry Summers, the school’s former president and one of its most prominent faculty members to hold Summers accountable for his intimate friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

I wish this didn't need to be said but: when discussing people who commit sexual harassment and abuse, don't name the victims/survivors unless they've chosen to come forward publicly. Their right to privacy matters.

Thanks so much to all who shared and commented! One type of example I'd love to hear more about: papers that *don't* have a beautiful, crisp identification strategy but marshall evidence of a causal effect in a compelling way.
I'm facilitating a causal inference reading group next semester for Sociology PhD students. (I will also be learning!) If there are (1) pedagogical articles or (2) empirical examples in soc that you ❤️, will you share in the comments? [And please RT to help me crowd-source!]

There are days I wonder if I'm overreacting when I think there's a chunk of "respectable" men who deeply disdain women.
Today is not one of those days.

This is what male solidarity & collective action to oppress women looks like:
Artist Andres Serrano--successful, but nowhere near the same class as Thiel & other billionaires in the files--stating that he'll vote for Trump, despite his politics, out of *sympathy* with T's sexual assaults on women.

Oh come on - I'm willing to believe the overlap section of the Venn diagram of "watched Buffy" and "following what Larry Summers said in his emails to Epstein" isn't huge, but I feel it's gotta be over represented in my social network.

US women narrowed the pay gap with men by having fewer kids
Two sociologists found that when the pace at which family sizes was shrinking slowed down, starting in the 1990s, progress toward closing the gender pay gap grew sluggish too.

Big fan of @chinyereagbai.bsky.social's work and this paper - great to see it in print!
The WWII GI Bill made millions of veterans homeowners, but it also increased Black-White gaps in homeownership and wealth. Results demonstrate how historic policies not only exacerbated past inequalities but also how these inequalities have persisted and intensified into the present.

The consulting services of UM's CSCAR have helped legions of graduate students and faculty. Ending these services puts Michigan out of step with its peer research institutions and especially disadvantages Michigan scholars with the fewest resources.
