Hey #sociologists#sociodon@sociology
I had a student ask me about Isabel Wilkerson's book "Caste". Have any of you read it? Is it consistent with sociological research on race and racism? (I'm hoping it is good, #sociology could use some accessible writing)
Someone mentioned this here a few days ago - thank you!
Neurodiving, a podcast by two neurodivergent philosophy scholars, about the politics of #autism research. I have Lots of Opinions about it - esp re the dodgy research methods (correlation plus speculation equals publication) that pass as normal in some biomed & psych fields, & the importance of funding models & institutional environments in determining who & what gets funded (& where are the #sociologists in this conversation! Analysing these aspects of the situation is what we do!! 😫) - BUT overall it's excellent. Start from the beginning.
