    Just listened to the two episodes available and can vouch, this is an excellent addition to an already awesome (and tremendously accessible) resource for sociology educators out there. Got serious flashbacks from undergrad discussion sections!

    Sociologists: We've added a podcast to go w . We'll have an episode for every chapter, w authors and students discussing concepts and examples in their own lives. I'm biased, but it's actually really good.

    Check out our new podcast, Sociology Sessions! We interview students abt sociology and what they learned, as well as ASE authors. It's a great opportunity to hear students themselves talk about important issues in sociology. On Apple podcasts and Spotify:

    Great to hear Ruth, thanks!

    If you’re in the market for a new Intro to Soc textbook, check out . Based on my students’ discussion board posts this year, they are really enjoying it, especially how current all of the chapters are. Look forward to listening to/assigning these podcasts, too!

    Q for epidemiologists: Any good estimates out there about what % of adults have to be vaccinated before we see Covid deaths fall to negligible levels? i.e. the period when virus still spreading but the more vulnerable are not getting infected?

    Doesn't make the news because there is not video. But this 5'3", 125 lbs., 23-year-old young man is dead and never even had a trial. The thread is heartbreak and tells a story of detention in Texas that is, of course, bigger than Texas.

    Jaquaree Simmons. You probably haven't yet heard his name. 23 years old. Caged pretrial in Harris County, TX. Called his mom almost every day from his jail cell. Crying & begging for help. One week after he entered, found dead. This happened 10 days ago. “All I can do is scream."

    Not a rhetorical question. Some pretty solid evidence suggests his words increased deaths by somewhere btwn 10-25% by the end of March 2020.

    I wonder how many people died due to Hannity’s messaging? 100, 150, 200k? And wonder how much he prolonged the pandemic with the millions of people watching his show? Tragic.

    There is a pervasive myth that economic turbulence causes violent crime to rise. But there doesn’t seem to be a direct connection between recession and murder, which means last years spike in homicide was more complicated:

    Economic hardship is probably not why violence rose in 2020

    Bet it was a good conversation for him too. Glad he found his way into your yard.

    Discovered an 80yo confused and underdressed man wandering behind my house this a.m. Put him in my car and drove him back to his family. During the short ride, we talked about life, love, and the loneliness of the pandemic. It was the best conversation I’ve had in a long time.

    Don’t appreciate the subtweet, but we all know it’s 100% a story about lead exposure.

    Exactly. Great article from but the real story is the great surge of lead exposure from exactly 21 years ago beginning in June.
