Teacher bias or unobserved ability? @ssreditorial.bsky.social paper w/ @marespadafor.bsky.social Test score error & omitted behavior = 🐘 in the (class)room to identify SES discrimination. Still, beyond "true ability", well-off (low-performing) kids get higher teacher ratings: doi.org/10.1016/j.ss...

Reminder that earlier naturalization leads to better integration of immigrants. Extending the period necessary for settlement in the UK will have exactly the opposite effect of what Starmer and the Labour leadership claim. "Migrants first have to prove themselves" is a nativist trope and bad policy.

A world historical crime, taking place in full view, with the perpetrators so convinced of their impunity that they can brag about genocidal intent, and it’s hard not to agree with their calculation that no one will stop them and no one will be held accountable

Does being the corresponding author (CA) matter? After serving on many selection committees for grants, promotions, and hiring in EU sociology, I’d say no. Even author order matters little. What counts are solo publications and diverse co-authorships. So don’t bother being CA.

Fabrizio Bernardi @fabriberna.bsky.social · Feb 7

When submitting a co-authored paper to ESR (or any journal), choose the corresponding author carefully, considering affiliations and Read and Publish agreements with OUP.

Below are rules from the ESR Authors' Guidelines that prevent post-acceptance changes (set by OUP, not the editorial board).
