@CurlyProfessor Please post this. to bsky as well. I will boost there. You can ping me when it is there

here is the triflin' paper: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

So it has sadly come to my attention that a senior white male legal scholar wrote a paper in November 2024 and published it January 29 2025 on SSRN using the term and theory I coined in my book "Carceral Apartheid" without any citation or attribution to my work of over a decade, which is very well-known. I promptly wrote the senior scholar an email asking why....

Wondering whether there are people on here who participated in a Jena protest in 2007 or went to Jena. Or Black people aged 30+ who don't remember Jena. (Protest was overwhelmingly Black.) Trying to decide whether worth the trouble to get IRB approval for an online survey.

@profsamperry @Bec_Shrader Looks like you already told someone else that you won't go to bsky. Sorry to hear it. I only come back over here to check on a few people I'm interested in. You being one of them

@ArianeOphir I personally know of several younger men who got vasectomies in the wake of the decision. FWIW

@profsamperry Didn't read your post yesterday, but this morning in my very liberal church where it was presumed people were grieving the election although all references were indirect, I thought about how uncomfortable someone who supported Trump would be there.

@AllisonMcKim I'm not very active there but have oner 1000 followers and following mostly from starter packs

To the people I know still on this site, I'm only here because you are and I'm interested in what you have to say. You know who you are because I "like" some of your posts. I really wish I could talk you into migrating to a different site or at least cross-posting to bsky

@AllisonMcKim There are some starter packs that give you lots of people to follow in many areas including sociology.

@alexhanna I'm so sorry.

Luv 2 be misgendered in syndicated print content, after correcting the journalist on the phone, and after speaking to him for an hour.

@xriskology Not arguing with critique of journals but suggesting you post preprint to SocArXiv osf.io/preprints/soca… in addition to or instead of SSRN. Posting a preprint while wading through the peer review process gets you cited earlier and also increases citations to later pub.

can cite it. This gets at three overlapping criticisms I have of philosophy journals: (1) they are highly conservative. If you're writing about a genuinely new topic (e.g., the ethics of human extinction -- there's no real tradition or literature on the topic; I'm trying to

I sent a paper of mine to an Oxford philosophy prof earlier this year, and he *loved it*. Told me I should submit it without edits, and that he'd be citing it in future papers of his. So, I submitted to an ethics journal -- desk rejection. I submitted it to another journal, and

@hwaight Thank you. I will.

Do I know anybody (or anybody who knows anybody?) who knows how to do systematic searches of the Internet Archive's Wayback machine? Trying to locate blog posts dated for a given time period about a given keyword & sometimes for a particular site. Please forward as appropriate

@bwitkovsky I'll check with you.

@ewrigleyfield @MichaelSLinden I agree about genocide being bad, I don't think that is the reason that the accomplishments of the Biden administration are not getting much news attention. It does not explain why the achievements before a year ago were also underplayed.

Obviously, I'm somewhat biased, but there have been numerous instances over the past four years of the Biden Administration getting hard things done and fixing problems quickly and efficiently with almost no credit. This is the latest example.

@ewrigleyfield @the_transit_guy Not sure but maybe this was related to the Dutch elm disease which certainly killed a lot of mpls trees in the 1970s or 1980s.

@ewrigleyfield just sent an email re the workshop thingie as well. and happy to privately explain details.

@raulpacheco 1) some edited volumes are highly influential, major impacts on the field. 2) some edited volumes are scams. Or not exactly scams, but people twisting the arms of their friends to produce a product that mostly benefits publishers and editors. Both are true.

Some people seem to dislike edited volumes (generally speaking). But one advantage they have that I believe is often overlooked is that edited volumes offer different authors' viewpoints on stuff that would seem "generally agreed upon". This diversity of viewpoints is enriching
