I love trains…and the zoo…so I loved this piece. Disagree on the water front, thought. Ours is clearly superior 😉
We felt the same way when they were our team 😂

I’d love to be added to the sociology starter pack! 😊

A good time was had by all!
Such fun!! 🙌
Policing Patients turned one this week 🥹 I am so grateful for the opportunities this book has given me to speak up for people who use drugs and for people in pain. And I’m awed by the activists, scholars, professionals, and lawmakers who fight for what’s right despite strong political headwinds.
Got to speak with Mark Joseph Stern for the Amicus podcast this week about pregnancy criminalization and why it matters, for all of us. Hope you’ll give it a listen.

I am deeply moved by the scholars and activists who devote themselves to making sure that people who use drugs and people with chronic pain are treated with care and respect, not cruelty and punishment. I hope that my work can make some small difference in this fight.
I am grateful to the selection committees and I am especially grateful to the 337 professionals who talked with me about their work over a decade. This work is about their struggles and about the citizens/clients they serve. 2/3
I feel incredibly honored that Policing Patients and Trojan Horse Technologies received so much recognition at ASA this year 🥹 1/3 @asanews.bsky.social @asaskat.bsky.social @asamedsoc.bsky.social @princetonupress.bsky.social @washuartsci.bsky.social
