@ryanburge @CtrRelPol Great news, congratulations!

Some personal news. Starting August 1, I will be joining the Danforth Center on Religion and Politics at WashU (@CtrRelPol) as a Professor of Practice. I think it's a perfect step for my career as Senator Danforth envisioned the Center to be a place for public engagement around religion and politics. That's where I see myself headed in the next stage of my career.

We're hiring! Please share with your networks! The Department of Sociology at @UWMadison invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of assistant professor in the field of demography of health and aging beginning in August 2026. jobs.wisc.edu/jobs/assistant…

"AFTER POSITIVISM is one of the best contemporary arguments that all of us...should continually struggle with how we come to know about the realities we say we know something about."—Jordan Fox.. buff.ly/c1BL7Ot #Positivism #BookReview #ReadUP @nickhwilson @yrlsoc

@GerardoMunck @nickhwilson Thank you for your kind words. We definitely envisioned this volume as a starting point for conversations rather than the last word, and hope those conversations cross disciplinary boundaries!

This new volume, edited by @nickhwilson and @yrlsoc is full of ideas – some provocative – relevant to thinking about how to engage in historically-oriented research. I do not agree with all its arguments. But it discusses the right issues and provides much food for thought.

@grundrza Congrats!

Tenured!

@bhbradlow @philipjfang Looking forward to seeing you!
