Academic in nutshell #AcademicTwitter Academic Chatter™

So happy to see this rich, illuminating, and essential piece by my wonderful colleagues Miloš Broćić and Daniel Silver on Simmel's influence in sociology! annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/an…

I have been reviewing a lot of papers and proposals by budding in-depth interview researchers. One thing they all would benefit from taking seriously: Sample size does not matter; what matters is *exposure*. 1/

Ethnographers and in-depth interviewers: What makes qualitative research *qualitative*? This is among the rare situations where the answer does not matter but the question is important. New paper: rdcu.be/cAcxU 1/

Qual grad student friends: I want to see you at the 2022 Chicago Ethnography Conference! This is a great opportunity to share research, build community, and hear two brilliant keynotes from Jess Calarco and Mario L. Small - Submit your abstract here: forms.gle/M8JpcKPYDhVZAH…

I review a lot, most of it qualitative. And there's a way of using quotes (less so ethnographic data, but sometimes this too) which works as *proof* but doesn't really work as *experience.* And you really want to have experience work for you in a paper or book. A mini-thread!

1/ASA student forum is hosting an interesting conversation about making Sociology a STEM discipline. This is especially important for international students who can only get 3 year OPT if they graduate with a STEM degree.
