I deeply appreciate so many friends & colleagues from @isa-rc28.bsky.social.
Yet, the recent RC28-community statement condemning @isa-sociology.org suspension of ISS –without apparent similar statement on RSS suspension in years– seems biased & contradictory.
I share my email to RC28 Board [1]
Following an exchange with @marcoalbertini.bsky.social on the @isa-rc28.bsky.social letter to the @isa-sociology.org exec committee, I’m reposting my position on requests to review for the Israel Science Foundation.
Interessante Mischung aus restriktiver Solidaritätspolitik und relativer Umverteilung im unteren Einkommensbereich (WiMi - 50% -> Studis,Alo). Wunsch: höhere Beträge bei Profs gerne per W-Multiplikator aus der DHV Besoldungstabelle berechnet und einen Soli für Soziolog*innen ohne instit. Anbindung.
Out now: "Handbuch Sozialstrukturanalyse" von Petra Böhnke und @dirkkonietzka.bsky.social herausgegeben. Sozialstrukturanalyse so facettenreich wie noch nie in zur Zeit 40 Beiträgen. Lehrreich für den Unterrricht, eigene Forschung und den Überblick zwischendurch.

Terrible news for all friends, colleagues and co-authors of Gert Wagner. We pay tribute to a colleague who remained down-to-earth, a tireless supporter to whom we owe new insights and whom we will honour in his memory.

Does social media negatively impact the health of U.S. teenagers? The National Academy of Sciences, among the most authoritative organizations in the country, just released a major report, co-authored by a dozen leading experts in the field. Here's a summary of their conclusions:

In Finnland sinkt seit Jahren die Zahl der Obdachlosen, weil das Land das „Housing First“-Konzept anwendet, bei dem Betroffene ohne Voraussetzungen eine Wohnung und Beratung erhalten. Das kommt den Staat zudem billiger als Obdachlosigkeit und Notunterkünfte hinzunehmen: kontrast.at/housing-firs...
Interested in educational inequalities in Sub Saharan Africa? Want to update your Soc Strat syllabus with an article on Global South? Our new paper with @IlzePlavgo from Uni Mannheim is out now in Sociology of Education: doi.org/10.1177/00380407231210279 #Sociology #GlobalSouth #EducationInequality
In a new article in Nature Scientific Reports I find that male PhD students are almost twice as likely than female PhD students to obtain a cum laude distinction for their dissertation. A cum laude is very rare, and only awarded to 5% of Dutch PhD students.

Measuring social class
Should social class and socioeconomic status be assessed using composite measures that combine measures of income, education, occupation, etc. or should these measures be kept separate?
Two opposing views from recent papers here

Didn't know until now! great! thanks @hagerhardt.bsky.social for this pointer. The survey implementation is yet to come but this looks very useful indeed! Reminds me of the GESIS sociodemgraphic standards.
@malteschierholz.bsky.social, thank you very much for this generous list of links, time & info! This helps a lot and the SOC and Kldb are top - both can be coded in social class schemes without much problems. i wonder whether avoiding open-ended questions is also possible for a concept like class.
Thank you very much Daniel, will check Maltes' work out!
Stabile Genoss:innen mit wirklich klugen, sehr durchdachten kritischen Reportagen. Manchen Menschen sicherlich zu textlastig, aber die können sich die AK ja vorlesen oder nacherzählen lassen - wofür hat Mensch denn Freund:innen und Bekannte.
but at least once coded and you want to group them, you have all these marvellous projects like manifesto, chapel hill expert surveys and so on to do the real work :) of assigning them to a political wing, faction or so on ...
And I thought we are here to make the world a better place. Come on Per, please, you of all people must know a magic trick. i remember Ganzeboom to say measure ISCO-08 in 1D but how can we then create social class measures?
if people collecting data want to include occupation (because 1/3 of respondents do not answer income questions or income fluctuates too much and education is a somewhat misleading measure) to proxy economic class effects, how would you suggest to do it (very thankful for links to papers on that!)
Problem is you can't really use that format to measure occupation when collecting admin data. Either too manny questions or too expensive to code.There comes my question:
As so told me, my q is not clear (thanks, Andreas). Occup is asked in surveys using 1 to 3 questions with open format answers (detailing what they do or not). Coders code these costly into occup schemes like ISCO. Researchers translate ISCO into social class measures (EGP/ESEC, OESCH, MICRO, etc.).
Need help from #data peps, #sociology and others: want to learn about the IYO most valid way to measure occup in 4 digit ISCO (for social class measure) w/o open answer form in surveys and experiences about exploiting AI for occup coding of standard open answers. pls share, there must be so who know

When i need an easy but nice graph of some function for a method lecture, i ask #ChatGPT to code it in stata or r. most of the times it works perfectly. But when my wishes become to special (the options inside the options, the multiple y axes, etc.), everything breaks down.
Coding differences might also have an affect if job biographies are coded by the same coder instead of coding single job spells. Would only matter of course, if studies differ here. /2
i dk about BHPS, but other reasons for systematic diff could relate to source of occupation info and coding. In SOEP, job info is collected prospectively or retrospectively as part of the occup biography questionaires. There are fewer job changes retrospectively i think. 1/
