Fantastic to read this new review of Peter Evans' work by the author himself in @AnnualReviews ! If I could name a single sociologist who inspired me to explore the discipline, it's him.

When people are dying in floods in "basement apartments" in NYC, this is how climate change interacts with the informalization and exploitation of the housing market. In the rest of the world, this is, quite simply, a question of "slums." 1 in 7 humans lives in one. 1/

My new article on urban inequality, drawing on field research in São Paulo, is out now in Theory and Society. Very interested to hear what you think (and please don't be shy to share)! Embeddedness and cohesion: regimes of urban public goods distribution

@joshualeifer Your comment certainly sounds like an assertion of standing. As long as there exists a Jewish nationalist project, surely any Jew has the right to weigh in?

A distinction of sociological categorization: Zionism is an ideology of political nationalism that emerged in the late 19th c. Judaism is a religion that has existed for millennia in different parts of the world. As a religion, it has nurtured many languages and cultures.

With this expansion of the brics, I think there is no geopolitical grouping with a better average national cuisine.

I do find receiving these a bit funny because the last time I got a plaque / trophy was in little league baseball, but… good mail day! It takes a scholarly community and an understanding family to produce a dissertation (and eventually a book!), so these are theirs.

My new paper, with Will Violette and Stefano Polloni, on spatial effects of public housing policy in South Africa is out now in @JUrbanEcon ! It was particularly rewarding to collaborate with these two excellent economists for this paper. Open access here:

Getting excited to spend a couple weeks in São Paulo based out of this epic building, Edificio Copan, designed by Oscar Niemayer. It is so large that it has its own postal code.

Biden responds by talking about "climate." Fact is that the US is going to be totally irrelevant to all the countries that actually matter on climate if it throws its credibility away on a war that nobody else in the world supports.

Indonesian Pres. Joko Widodo surprises Joe Biden by calling on the US "to do more to stop the atrocities in Gaza," declaring that a "ceasefire is a must for humanity." Indonesia is the largest Muslim country in the world, and millions have rallied there in recent weeks.

The funny thing about the whole @timgill924 twitter persona is that, IRL, he very graciously and humbly introduced himself TO ME at a conference session when I was in the middle of my PhD and had never published in a sociology journal of any impact whatsoever.

Finalizing my syllabi for the two courses that I'll teach this fall: an undergrad course on Sociology of Climate Change and a short graduate course on Cities and Climate Change. It's going to be an interesting semester.

I'm off to Brazil this week to begin new research for a project on transitions to electric vehicle manufacturing in middle income countries. I'll be primarily based in São Paulo. If you have tips regarding the auto sector in Brazil or want to chat, please reach out!

All senior editors and corresponding editors have now resigned from Theory and Society. Everyone knows that the review times were a bit crazy there, but that is surely no justification for this attack on intellectual independence by a for-profit publisher. This is a major loss.
