It was so much fun to interview Mariana Craciun for @socannex. We discussed Craciun's new book From Skepticism to Competence (2024, U Chicago) and the process of learning a new way of thinking and acting while on the verge of professional practice. open.spotify.com/episode/1ul…

Mondays are a good day for new Annex episodes! This one features @GjikaPhD, discussing her award winning book When Rape Goes Viral. Tech abuse, sexual violence, youth, digital ethics, and the politics of evidence: socannex.commons.gc.cuny.edu…
Great thread; this perspective comes closest to my own on these issues.
OK, about this...
First the journalism. I've seen similar framing in stories by @nytimes and @TheAtlantic and elsewhere. Supposedly skeptical journalists have swallowed hook, line and sinker the framing these guys push forth. I see no challenge. It's like an ad for this place. 1/
I always learn from @laurendolsen. The book is a must read for scholars in the #sociology of education, medicine, and organizations.
The Annex is back! Today, @laurendolsen is our guest. Olsen goes inside medical schools to show us the messy, conflictual process of building a four-year curriculum that both includes, and sidelines, the social sciences and humanities.

Sunday reading: What awaits us in a second Trump presidency?
A much more extreme rightwing regime that is vastly better prepared and will be operating under conditions that are significantly more favorable to its political cause.

Why does Christian Nationalism resonate with some Americans?
Advocates emphasize the sanctity of the nation & loyalty to a Christian heritage.
Critics say it’s about authoritarianism, a desire for unfair privilege, & a lack of care for the other.
But is this true? 🧵
