We envision an increased (!) involvement of humans in the evaluation of social science.
The Women’s Forum will meet on July 1st in the afternoon and will host flash talks for junior scholars as well as a panel on women in academia. We hope to see you there!

New paper out in @sociologicalsci.bsky.social with @marckeuschnigg.bsky.social and Peter Hedström! We identify a social-influence mechanism that widens individuals' behavioral repertoires and breaks the link between individuals' initial preferences and the collective outcomes they bring about.
"We identify a social-influence mechanism that widens individuals’ behavioral repertoires and breaks the link between individuals’ initial preferences and the collective outcomes they jointly bring about."
This month in our journal, @sociologicalsci.bsky.social
"Wide social influence" hits the sweet spot, balancing exposure to novelty and willingness to adoption. This influence mechanism can make the unexpected happen, leading to cultural change
👉 sociologicalscience.com/articles-v12...
Analyzing 1M Spotify users, we show how “wide social influence” exposes people to content beyond their usual repertoires—decoupling collective outcomes from initial preferences. The key: partial taste overlap between senders and receivers. Too little similarity, no influence; too much, no novelty.
For us, this journey toward explaining *surprising macro outcomes* took many years. Grateful to my amazing co-authors, @martinarvidsson.bsky.social and Peter Hedström, and to all the reviewers who supported us along the way
🚀Out now: sociologicalscience.com/articles-v12...
Herzlichen Glückwunsch Herr Doktor!!

Returning from #ic2s2 feels a bit like coming home from summer camp at 14: exhausted, inspired, and already missing the many new friends
Ha, little did I know. Somebody put this up on or poster stands. Love also your video on network science. We need much more of these things!
🎥 All keynote talks from IC²S² ‘25 are now available on our YouTube channel!
