For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.

Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

Here's the journal version. Glad to join a list of distinguished social psych scholars in this new issue of PIBBS! To complement other articles, ours focus on how to consider and improve standards in data collection & disaggregation, esp of MENA & Asian Americans journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Racial groups and identities are meaningful to individuals and organizations. However, broad labels may conceal diversity and disparities within a racial group....

Starting the week strong with a newly accepted paper in Policy Insights from the Behavioral and Brain Sciences, co-authored with postdoc @lizsnoland.bsky.social and Sohad Murrar! We merged two largely independent research lines to call for data disaggregation of Asian Americans and MENA Americans

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

I love this paper. If you study special education teachers, or support special education teachers, you need to read it!

Excited to share a new Project RESPECT paper out today in RASE, defining special educators' working conditions! We often talk about "working conditions" but seldom precisely define them. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

My org @fightforthefuture.org has been “de-googling” for the last year. We’re totally off Google suite, Google docs, Drive, Calendar. We’re using Signal and Element for chat, Nextcloud for docs, etc Planning to publish a “how to” guide for other nonprofits and activist groups soonish.

On net I like Bluesky, but the shift really lost grad students (far fewer active here vs. during peak EconTwitter). With job market season, it’s been kinda nice seeing familiar faces who were in the Covid grad school trenches w me popping up again recently Like hey there! I remember you! Cool paper

Thanks to the panelists and hosts @jxjwang.bsky.social & @lindyjjohnson.bsky.social for the conversation on continuing critical ed research in the current climate. #SREE2025

New working paper! With Dr. @HannahCKistler, we examine how emergency-licensed special education teachers are distributed across and within schools and service delivery models compared to their non-emergency-licensed counterparts in the state of Indiana edworkingpapers.com/ai25-1286

Examining the Distribution and Characteristics of Emergency-Licensed Special Education Teachers

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) mandates that special education teachers be fully licensed, either by obtaining state certification or passing a licensure examination. However, ...

edworkingpapers.com

@tashnuvashaheen.bsky.social - emergency licensed special ed teachers more likely to work in self contained settings, less likely to work in inclusive settings; more likely to work with students with IDD and ASD. Such important findings regarding inequitable sorting of special ed teachers!

If you're at #SREE2025 and looking for an awesome section, come check out our panel on critical research at 3:30 - 5:00PM in Salon 10!

My colleague Dr. Sehrish Shikarpurya and I got to work on a review of the use of Critical Quantitative Methods (CQM) within special education.

The murder of America's world-best higher education sector--a leading export good of the US economy--continues under this lawless autocratic regime, and gets worse

The White House is taking new steps to undermine every international student at our universities. It has approved a new rule restricting student visas to 4 years max. That's not long enough for PhD students, or about half of undergrads, to finish their degree. Likely to enter force within days.

I have the coolest friends. Go Prof. @yangfu.bsky.social !!

Exciting to share that I am starting my new position as an assistant professor at Wichita State University! Go Shockers!

I'm generally a big fan of @rachelefish.bsky.social scholarship on disability identification, but this recent publication has me so excited! It takes me back to when I was more in the social psych world thinking about teachers' roles in disability ID and disprop journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1...
