Last week we had a wonderful thesis defence by @gaiaghirardi.bsky.social 🔥 Congratulations Gaia, what a great job 🎉🎉 We are really looking forward to what's to come next 💫

@gaiaghirardi.bsky.social defended her PhD yesterday at the EUI. An outstanding thesis and a fantastic defense, so proud of you, Gaia!! Here pre-defence with the Bologna ultras supervisor and post with the committee @juhoharkonen.bsky.social @melindacmills.bsky.social (zoom) and Nicola Barban

Using height as a measure of an individual’s underlying health, @ferraraale.bsky.social @rrluthra.bsky.social & Lucinda Platt investigate the health of immigrants over time, offering a solution to the “immigrant health paradox” #LSEInequalitiesBlog buff.ly/0yUtKbt

A possible mechanism underlying the intergenerational transmission of health inequalities: high-SES families buffer genetic propensity for obesity and overweight, while low-SES environments trigger them ⚖️ New working paper here 👇 osf.io/preprints/so...

Thank you, @distasioval.bsky.social, for an inspiring talk at the University of Copenhagen on discrimination in childcare access. What an important project and huge effort to collect data in nine countries—we look forward to following the next steps!

Celebrating Richard Breen’s work in honour of his retirement, with a great conference organized by @berkayozcan.bsky.social , @kbkarlson.bsky.social and Janne Jonsson

Another piece of my PhD thesis is now published in International Migration Review! How many immigrants get transnationally separated from their children in the migration process, and how does this affect their mental health in the short- and medium- term? Check it out 👇 doi.org/10.1177/0197...

Here's an update on sociology (and some demography) journal editorial polices with regard to sharing preprints before submission and after acceptance. A big improvement from the last edition of this table. With one exception.

Another happy Poster winner at #PAA2025 @marcushagley.bsky.social (now at @univie.ac.at) on fecundity in contemporary Europe

New pub (w/ @fabriberna.bsky.social) highlighting how family socioeconomic background plays a key role in shaping genetic associations: advantaged families both compensate for and amplify their children’s genetic propensities for education doi.org/10.1016/j.ssresearch.2025.103174 👇🧵

There are still two days left to submit abstracts for this year's PopFest!

The EUI crowd at the #rc28 conference last week! @eui-sps.bsky.social

Check out my new new paper with @marcocozzani.bsky.social on Population Studies: doi.org/10.1080/0032... We show that immigrants’ educational selectivity improves their children’s health at birthin Spain, but just for some outcomes and some migrant groups

A perfectly organized RC28, brilliant presentations, and sunny Milan vibes ☀️ As always, truly stimulating and fun to be with the CLIC crew (and several CLICers are missing from the pic!) #RC28 @isa-rc28.bsky.social

Our paper with @gaiaghirardi.bsky.social is now out at SSR! Have a look if you are interested in social stratification and/or sociogenomics Below are the main findings and contributions 1/6 doi.org/10.1016/j.ss...

@clic.bsky.social proudly congratulates the winner of the @isa-rc28.bsky.social conference bingo of this year's meeting in Milan 🥳 Congratulations @ivancanzio.bsky.social

It seems that among this perhaps the most quant oriented group of the field, the social stratification researchers of RC28, sociological theory is currently taking massive leaps forward. The group that is so often considered as the most unimaginative number crunchers by other sociologists.

Attending #RC28 Spring meeting? Come give me some feedback tomorrow at the session on Inequality of Educational Opportunity at 11:00. Maybe you'll make it to my dissertations acknowledgements!

come join me @isa-rc28.bsky.social the morning after the conference dinner to see some of my new research AND my first foray into sequence analysis

☀️ RC28 starting in Milan tomorrow and we are very happy to see many CLICers & friends on the program 🔥 Join us in these great sessions👇

Read Sara Geven and Dieuwke Zwier's study of over 1200 Dutch students, which found positive associations between expressions of students' interactional cultural capital and academic performance. #EarlyView in #BJS ➡️ buff.ly/R8ze5kw

How do local expressions of dissent become global? 🌎🪧 In the first paper of my PhD—just accepted in the American Journal of Sociology (!!!)—I show how historical emigration patterns can inadvertently create latent global infrastructures for diffusion. 🔗 tinyurl.com/44s2wkvp 🧵 (1/7)

📢 Do employees perceive gender pay gaps to be (un)fair? Susanne Strauß, Julia Lang and I contribute to the discussion around this question and explore how the organizational context shapes these perceptions. Out in @europeansocreview.bsky.social 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/esr/...

Still a couple of weeks left until the submission deadline for the Workshop on Inequalities in Bari, jointly organized with Sapienza and LISER. See you guys there! :)

Can mothers leverage the structural resources of their occupation like autonomy to balance motherhood and work, especially in the absence paid leave? My latest article in the Journal of Marriage and Family suggests so.

Round 2 of this week Brown Bag Seminar (#BBS) is a wrap! 🏔️ Today, it was @pfallesen.bsky.social turn to share his expertise and insightful contribution on research on the effect of divorce on children. We are left with one question: What are the counterfactuals? 💡 #BBS
