Pleased to be quoted in this Seattle Times article on inequalities in home insurance premiums between White and Black / Hispanic households. I suggest these inequalities may contribute to racial inequalities in the wealth-building effects of homeownership. www.seattletimes.com/business/rea...

Homeowners of color pay higher insurance costs in WA, nationwide

New research finds a link between the cost of homeowners' insurance and the racial makeup of a neighborhood.

The Stone Center at MIT is hiring another postdoc! This is a GREAT job: the work is interesting and creative, and you’ll have time for your own research, too. I think a sociologist or historian working on technology/inequality (broadly defined) would be an especially good fit!!

Could not be more proud to work at @umisr.bsky.social, whose motto is "social science in the public interest."

Social science matters. Supporting the infrastructure for social science matters. That's why we've awarded the BBVA Frontiers of Knowledge Award for the first time to institutions, not individuals: @umisr.bsky.social and @norc.org Many congratulations from the award jury! shorturl.at/hu2yd

Yep. Shout out to Sheldon Danziger and Yu Xie, who read more drafts of my dissertation chapters than I care to remember. My only rule is that, if I'm not the chair, I'll read once for every time your chair has already read it.

I totally see that point. Personally, if the idea was mine and I write the first draft I presume to be on it. otherwise, as an advisor I don’t have many rules about how many times I’d read and comment. My phd advisor read my first pub 20+ times because I was so insecure abt sending it out.

Excited to share the findings from Therese Christensen's and my article! In a nutshell: living in Denmark doesn't prevent you from experiencing a motherhood earnings penalty, but it does give you access to government benefits that help offset those financial losses.

#Umich @umichstonecid.bsky.social Director @sashakillewald.bsky.social asks, “Can government programs that provide financial support to parents offset the motherhood penalty in earnings?” Learn more in the article in the @us.theconversation.com 🧵 (1/2) #SocialInequality myumi.ch/P3Xqe
