@kateweisshaar (co-lead), @TaniaHutt, and I are excited that our research is finally out @ASR_Journal! In this paper, we attempt to better understand patterns of gender and racial hiring discrimination in today’s context of strong pressures to diversify. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…

Excited to share my paper on unemployment and suicide with @pescosol. Using big administrative data on suicide, we show that unemployed people are more likely to die by suicide, but their suicide risk is lower when and where more people are unemployed. doi.org/10.1177/000312…

A horrifying new poll by Axios reveals that roughly half of Americans would support putting undocumented immigrants in concentration camps. There is no way to spin this. No society, no matter how enlightened it may purport to be, is immune from the allure of fascism.

@JessicaCalarco I guess I should have said, I brought Rafi so I was up at 6 🤪. We should have come to the session, dang!

@JessicaCalarco Actually it makes sense - only parents are up that early!

I hate it when STEM people think humanities scholars and social scientists are not as smart just because our research is silly and pointless
