  • AI slop - stay away

    Used to be good, but now they use AI for most content and they even use disclaimers that the AI might be wrong. As if the publisher was not greedy already...

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Journal of Health and Social Behavior - State Politics and Policies and Racialized Disability Patterns among Midlife Adults in the United States, 2008–2019
Q: Which policies did you find to be most influential on disability risks, and did effects differ by race?
Unemployment insurance generosity and earned income tax credits were notably influential in reducing disability risk, with some variations across race; white adults showed stronger associations in progressions with policy changes, while Black adults—especially Black women—showed more mixed results, potentially due to administrative barriers and structural racism.
Journal of Health and Social Behavior - State Politics and Policies and Racialized Disability Patterns among Midlife Adults in the United States, 2008–2019
Q: What motivated you to study state politics and policies in relation to racialized disability patterns?
We were motivated by the recent shifts in state power and divergence in state policy contexts, and we hypothesized that state-level political forces shape disability and impairment differently across racial groups, beyond what individual factors can explain.
Contemporary Sociology - The Loyalty Trap: Conflicting Loyalties of Civil Servants under Increasing Autocracy
Q: And could you tell us about your research methodology and any of your writing methods for this book?
The researcher describes starting with community surveys and interviews with civil servants after the inauguration, then broadening to a wider sample as they learned more about who would discuss leadership changes, ultimately highlighting the ethical codes and personal motivations that shaped responses to a changing political environment.
American Sociological Review - How Norms Depend on the Presence and Status of Observers: The Relational Contingency of Everyday Behaviors in 90 Societies
Q: What comes next for this research?
Future work will examine more morally charged or politically contested behaviors to see if presence and status effects intensify or change when moral judgments are at stake.
American Sociological Review - How Norms Depend on the Presence and Status of Observers: The Relational Contingency of Everyday Behaviors in 90 Societies
Q: What were the main findings and what surprised you the most?
Presence of others constrained behavior for most behaviors, and higher-status observers added further constraints; the consistency of these effects across 90 societies was surprising, suggesting a universal aspect of norms.
