Sociologists & adjacent (and we're serious about the adjacent) do you or a friend/colleague/frolleague have a book released/releasing between 2023 and March 2025? Do you want to have a discussion of that book at ESS 2025 (in March, in Boston)? If so submit a proposal by 10/1.
ALT All AMC panel session proposals must contain the following (max 500 words). Proposals will be evaluated based on the general interest of the book to sociologists and panels should aim to reflect the diversity of the discipline. The title, author, date, and publisher of the book to be discussed (books must be published between Jan. 2023 and March 2025 to be eligible) A paragraph outlining the importance/interest of the book to the ESS membership Session chair (the session chair can be the author, one of the critics, or someone else) A list of 3 or 4 critics who have agreed to participate before being listed. Please list all critics and the session chair as "authors" so we collect everyone's name, affiliation, and email.

Reaching broader publics? Yeah, we do that! Co-editor @Amin_Ghaziani's latest book, Long Live Queer Nightlife, is racking up reviews, incl. @nytimes: "turn[ing] a funeral into a party," "Ghaziani shines as an academic." Congrats, Amin! #publicsociology nytimes.com/2024/03/25/books…

Weeks like this make editing the @contextsmag blog with @LettaPage such a joy!
Check out the latest - @bshestakofsky (@SociologyatPenn) on the incentive structure of venture capital & @victorerikray (@uiowa) on the class politics of fine dining.

This week's new releases included a lively author interview with @bshestakofsky (on his new @ucpress book) and a sumptuous meal of sociological insights from @victorerikray! If you're not keeping up with contexts.org, you're missing out!

This is powerful. This is courage. This is heartbreaking.
Democratic senator @EvaBurchAZ announced on a floor speech that she needs an abortion. She shared her story and gave remarks about how cruel Arizona’s laws are to women.
CNN aired a short clip last night, but it’s important for folks to hear all of her remarks. Please take the time & consider sharing.

Next up in our meet the editors series, it's sr. managing ed. @lettapage! "I find sociology genuinely fascinating—and I honestly think everyone should! It’s stories about people, and we’re all naturally curious about the ways other people think and live."

Proof day for @dangerimperativ! Surreal. But I'm full of thanks for everyone that was part of the journey. Light at the end of the tunnel 📖

So this came out six years ago and was the culmination of some quality editing work that me and @philipncohen and @lettapage did at @contextsmag, the most rewarding work I’ve ever done. And awesome covers by @turnstyle Scott Matthews.
