Social theorists are very welcome to submit @econsocjournal.bsky.social

Philip N Cohen @philipncohen.com · Aug 3

Sociology used to have more theorists, but then <social and academic developments> and now few people do theory without data analysis.

Kevin Zollman @kevinzollman.com · Aug 3

Different disciplines handle the division of labor between theory and experiment. Some fields have dedicated theoreticians who hardly ever do experiments (and vice versa). Others divide it less strongly or not at all.

Why is this?
