I do not think this "happens to everybody".

With father's day around the corner, I thought it'd be interesting to investigate how the age of fatherhood has changed over the decades and see how it compares to the age of motherhood. In general, men have kids later than women do---but both men and women are increasingly delaying having kids.

Tremendously helpful resource. Thanks so much for sharing!

We are getting to 1880s levels of over labelling political cartoons.

I suppose this could give more control over how students use LLMs, if these campus versions have blocks to prevent full fledge copying. Personally, I have done a 180 on LLMs in the classroom and think we should return to oral exams and laptop free seminars. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/t...

I recently revisited one of my favorite maps (shaking intensity from the 1906 SF #earthquake ), and discovered this gem from 1908. Fantastic colors! (Although maybe a few too many categories.) Archived by David Rumsey Map Collection: www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet... #maps #cartogprahy #dataviz

It is Sweden's national day today! It has only been a holiday since 2005, so it has often been seen as a holiday that "nobody celebrates". Since 2011 there has been a stead increase in people who celebrate moving from 25% to 42% in 2024.

🧵1/ Are primaries bad for political diversity? Conventional wisdom says yes—but our article in @wepsocial.bsky.social shows that candidate selection modes are not necessarily a bottleneck for representation, at least when it comes to demand. 🗳️👥 @sandrahkansson.bsky.social doi.org/10.1080/0140...

There are fewer leaders (and former leaders) of countries who are killed now than historically. (although assassinating leaders & former leaders may have made a comeback since three leaders have been murdered in the 2020ies; Abe (Japan), Deby (though in war - Chad) and Moise (Haiti)).

🖤Are emotions in surveys shaped by social desirability? ➡️Marzia Oceno finds that respondents underreport negative emotions like anger & fear—and even positive ones like hope & pride are not immune to social desirability bias www.cambridge.org/core/journal... #FirstView

Hey y'all I am hiring a PhD student. Minimal teaching load and many opportunities for more ;) uol.de/job566en

If you happen to have capacity for an extra first-time attendee do drop me a DM. :)

Three calls for getting researchers outside of Sweden / EU to Sweden: 1. Swedish research council, the call is open, however closes 1 December 2025 www.vr.se/english/appl...

I think Paul Kirchner captured the PhD experience rather well

After 10 years of doing research in Historical Political Economy, this fall I’ll finally get a chance to teach a survey course on the field & I’m really looking forward to it! 😊 I thought this would be an opportunity to create a syllabus with many essential contributions to this growing field.

You don’t need more ideas. You need a better question. A thread on clarity, chaos, & what a Nobel Prize winner, a mosquito net & a PhD meltdown taught me about writing (+ thinking) better. 🪨 Here’s my new Respect the Marble post: catherineeunicedevries.substack.com/p/you-dont-n... 🧵

Products for pessimists: ad copy is intended to say "it doesn't get better than this" but says "it won't get better" – as in "nothing will improve."

🚨New publication! By now, we know 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 democratic institutions autocratizers undermine, yet we (w/ Gorazd Ordanoski) ask: 𝑯𝒐𝒘 do they attack them? We present three sequential repressive steps: 1️⃣ legitimization rhetoric 2️⃣ legal engineering 3️⃣ coercive control 🔓🧵 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Some great work on the importance of liberal values and civil rights for democracy using Eurobarometer data from @gesis-dataservices.bsky.social @gesis.org 👇

while the Sociological Science Conference is happening now, here is (shamelessly) a paper I published in Sociological Science, where I showed that life-course transitions are not very consequential in pushing people to left or right, on average:

They're literally doing the meme

I’m so excited to announce that my book was published today! The book retells the life of Charles Sumner, an abolitionist senator who co-framed the Reconstruction Amendments. I wrote this book with my blood, sweat & tears as a student at Yale Law School. (1/x)

The combination of #artificialintelligence and #socialmedia poses a threat to democracy. Our new paper explains how AI swarms can fabricate grassroots consensus, fragment shared reality, engage in mass harassment, interfer with elections, and erode institutional trust: osf.io/preprints/os...

What happens to women when they are denied an abortion? Short run: their risk of death rises. A full 15 years later, they experience: more health issues, lower attainment, reduced labor-force participation, higher single motherhood, higher poverty, + greater government assistance

Power laws all around us.

I'm recruiting 2 PhD researchers to work with me on a project studying how social groups influence vote choices! Info on the position and how to apply 👉 www.kuleuven.be/personeel/jo... Please share with interested students who would like to move to beautiful Leuven!

Some papers are really good because they make just one point, but they make it really clearly — such as “Statistical Control Requires Causal Justification” journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I'm putting together a visualization workshop for PhD students 🧪📊 Looking for examples of the good, the bad, and the ugly. Do you have examples for a great (or awful) figure? Plots and overview/explainer figures are welcome. Thanks 🧡

I can't tell you how amazing it is that journals like the AER are publishing precise null effects like this.
