Do you have experience conducting #qualitativeresearch? Do you wish we knew more about researchers' experiences in the field, especially those that are awkward, uncomfortable, and dangerous? Do you wish we knew more about how these affect our research and careers? Please consider taking and distributing this survey to help us collect systematic data on this topic. @ASAnews @APSAtweets @AcadSocSciences @AmericanAnthro @isa_sociology @LASAweb @MeTooFieldwork
One version is for people currently in academia or those who have retired from an academic position. You can access that survey here: ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/S…
Another version of the survey is for individuals who left academia or are retired but transitioned into a non-academic profession before retiring. You can access that survey here: ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/S…

"Sex with underage girls" is rape.
Because children can't consent to sex.
"Underage sex" = adult raping a child.
It's not a difficult concept to grasp, so why do these headlines persist?

Some of the recruiting letters my husband’s parents withheld from him until he was 24 because “we didn’t want to have travel far to home meets, and you aren’t that smart anyway.” I was there when they handed him these opened letters.
He was national champion in high school. He could’ve gone anywhere. Who does that to their kid?
He passed advanced physics later on btw. He is incredibly intelligent.
I am constantly reforgiving them.

My university has informed us that we are moving to a “customer service” model. Not a joke.

I heard a number of stories like this while on the faculty job market, often told in good humor. But it's not really funny, is it? You shouldn't have to feel like you have to drink or go back to someone's house/hotel to land the job or network. I am so tired of this culture

Can we just take a minute to reflect on how ridiculous the academic job market is?

20% of all recorded crimes is male violence against women and girls: In the home, online, in the streets, at school, work, in the nursing home. Done by husbands, boyfriends, strangers, uncles, teachers, brothers, sons, dates, priests - it’s systemic. express.co.uk/news/politics/…

Many people believe that abusers target insecure and "weak" (whatever that means) women.
Not only does that smack of victim-blaming, it's simply not true.
For many abusers, dismantling a strong and empathetic woman's life is the point.

Yes, my grants have been canceled. No, I don’t want to talk about it. I’m just deeply saddened and simultaneously infuriated for me, my colleagues, my students, and the communities I serve.

🧵 Recent contract cancellations at the Institute for Education Sciences (IES) have put #Postsec surveys at risk. Without these data, policymakers, researchers, and student advocates lose critical tools to improve #affordability and #studentsuccess (1/5) ihep.org/the-case-for-ies-po…
