📢 New in @sfjournal.bsky.social: We study how parental #education shapes children’s #cognitive development. Accounting for selective parenthood & grandparent & early parent characteristics, we find education largely reflects broader #intergenerational advantages. academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...

In @europeansocreview.bsky.social with S.Trittler: New migrants who are visible and highly educated report most discrimination: high discrim. coincides with high awareness of unfair treatment and high aspirations for fair treatment. academic.oup.com/esr/article/...

In Research on Social Stratification and Mobility with @kpomi.bsky.social and T. Hinz based on data from the #PerFair project @excinequality.bsky.social on students' perceptions of inequality and fairness. doi.org/10.1016/j.rs...

New papers out on perceived unfairness! A 🧵: In @sociusjournal.bsky.social with @brueggemann-o.bsky.social J. Lang, S. Strauss we show that women are no longer more accepting of lower wages than men by using linked employer-employee data.

🎉Big news! My ERCStG proposal SOCDEBT has been selected for funding @erc.europa.eu! 📚I’ll study how household debt is stratified across countries & over time; how people strategize, evaluate, and morally judge debt(ors). 🙏I'm truly indebted to all my friends, colleagues & mentors for your support!
