I'm a sociologist and postdoctoral researcher at the European University Institute. I'm interested in job quality and segregation in labour market & other life domains. --> https://www.l-ivancanzio.net
Landed! Just keep it small. You'll make it, but you'll have to deal with some annoying looks from the crew when boarding (I guess it's all part of the performance).
Iván Canzio@ivancanzio.bsky.social · 2mo agoMy biggest concern about ECSR Dublin is whether Ryanair will allow me to travel with my A1 poster tube without paying an extra fee. Any recommendations or past experiences you're willing to share?

Lucky to be doing this work with a fantastic team: @billiemartiniello.bsky.social, @ivancanzio.bsky.social, @brueggemann-o.bsky.social. And looking forward to presenting some findings at the ECSR in Dublin next week!
European University Institute@eui-eu.bsky.social · 2mo agoDiscrimination is often easier to identify in theory than in practice. EUI Professor @distasioval.bsky.social @eui-sps.bsky.social on why it's so hard to recognise – and what that means for workplaces. 🔗 https://loom.ly/4dfroi8
I see a growing share of postdoc vacancies in quantitative sociology requiring knowledge of the local language, even when there's no teaching or qualitative work involved. I don't know ahout the reason, but it's not good for internationalization. Especially with AI erasing language barriers.
Pro tip: if you're going to write to a journal editor asking why your manuscript doesn't have a decision yet, it's best to ensure that you haven't declined every review request from that journal for several years. Where are we meant to get reviews (& thus timely outcomes), if not from you??
So interesting. My partner, who grew up in this region of Spain, says she used to sing for rain (sometimes instructed by teachers)

Do waitresses receive the same occupational prestige as waiters? Using German gendered occupational titles, we find that feminine job titles receive slightly lower prestige than masculine ones, especially among male-domindated occupations. Out now in Social Forces. doi.org/10.1093/sf/s...
These equivalence requirements & associated costs are ridiculous, and put extra burdens on young scholars. Something similar happened with my IT habilitation, for which my experience at a NL graduate school accredited by the Dutch Royal Academy of Science did not count as not approved by IT ministry
Iván Canzio@ivancanzio.bsky.social · 3mo agoIn April I applied for 3 vacancies in 2 universities in Spain. I found out I'm excluded from the selection process because my Swiss PhD title is not automatically recognized. This happens in *most* (not all) universities. These closure processes impose a penalty on those who went abroad to study

I'm visiting @mzes-ssdl.bsky.social for few weeks and I'm enjoying the really cool combination of industrial + green landscapes

Gender segregation in sport participation among children and adolescents: the influence of parental education and physical activity
Participation in sports during childhood and adolescence is typically segregated by gender, with girls and boys frequently engaging in different types of sports. This segregation has broad negative...

Iván Canzio@ivancanzio.bsky.social · 4mo agoUsually, both boys and girls practice only sports that are typical for their gender, or one sport that is typical for their gender plus a gender‑neutral sport. The dataset covers a large German sample from 2003 to 2021, still we see that gender segregation in sports has remained quite stable.
Today we had an appointment with the cardiologist of our dog. I made the most basic graph and tables with the breathing rate before and after treatment started. She "loved" the graph and said it was "amazing" I'm feeling at the peak of my career. This is the kind of reviewer I need for my papers
With conscription again under debate, @ivancanzio.bsky.social and I examined how conscription was institutionalized across 18 European countries and assessed how its suspension was associated with men’s early-career occupational placement.

Great to see our scoping review from the ERC-funded TARGET project published! The field has mainly looked at the drivers of discrimination attributions in isolation, and with little attention to between-respondent heterogeneity. We call for multi-dimensional designs and multi-actor comparisons.

During my time in Konstanz I had to work with a unique - but extremely limited - dataset about children's physical activity. Quite a challenge for me because I do employment research and children (usually) don't work. So, I tried to think of sports like I did for occupations 🎾🚴♂️💃🏂⚽🏃 (thread)

QUESTION: Is there a magical European dataset including 1. Gender 2. Sexuality 3. Religion 4. Ethnicity / country of birth (+ for parents) 5. Occupation ESS is missing 2, EU-LFS is missing 3, EU LGBTIQ Survey is missing 5. Sharing is caring! #sociologysky #surveydata
Do we know empirically if belonging to (European) Royalty has a positive effect on committing crimes?

⚠️ Despite all the hype, chatbots still make terrible doctors. Out today is the largest user study of language models for medical self-diagnosis. We found that chatbots provide inaccurate and inconsistent answers, and that people are better off using online searches or their own judgment.

We pays for this, obviously. We pay for the complex, bloated infrastructure necessary to deny access to the research we produce. And it sucks. It doesn't work to keep people out (thanks, Sci-hub!), and it doesn't work to let people in.

New PhD cohort, new topics, new methods, same nice environment and discussions✌️
