We are a very lively department, with great students from UG to PHDs, and 2nd in the UK for research.
Get in touch if you have questions about the dept/life in the UK.

There is now a Mastodon server just for #EconTwitter!
Thanks to @paulgp for building this lifeboat
If you’re looking for a server this is a great option
And now @undercoverhistorian is here! Hooray
For the most part #EconTwitter was a warm and supportive haven on the bird site, and I trust that this offshoot on Mastodon will prove to be the same.
Hierarchies in the economics profession: how did we get there? — @undercoverhistorian

@mmasnick it was great to get your perspective on that article.
@amoroso Thanks. Looks like I have arrived in the Fediverse.
Did you know that the European Union had an official Mastodon instance where only official EU institutions could open an account?
https://social.network.europa.eu/explore
No need to pay for a blue checkmark, accounts on this instance are, by definition, officials.
That’s Fediverse done right!
@shauny @schykle@schykle.com this is another way to integrate a blog into mastodon
I set up #ActivityPub on my #WordPress website and it totally works, #AMA
Time for an #introduction.
I'm a sociologist at UMich, and director of Organizational Studies.
I recently published a book, Thinking like an Economist: How Efficiency Replaced Equality in U.S. Public Policy.
I'm a cancer survivor trying to figure out life in a permanently changed body.
When I can, I'm looking to the past to think about what kind of intellectual movement could smash #neoliberalism.

I read this elsewhere: If trusted news outlets would start offering #Mastodon instances to their staff, that would bring some sort of verification and visibility. Think social.nytimes.com, social.heise.de etc. I'd love to read more from trusted journalists on the #fediverse and this could greatly help. (Again, not my idea but couldn't find the original author.) Boosts for visibility would be great. Reminder: Favorites don't help as on this other platform.
@ccamara I suppose you are familiar with Kieran Healy's book Data Visualization. If a sociologist is writing a book about how to code, that seems a good sign that social scientists find coding useful. I guess more generally the argument is that telling a story with data is useful for many fields, and visualizing data can be a fun and compelling way to tell stories with data.
@katherined This is amazing I had no idea about this feature. I always thought it was a huge gap compared to centralized systems but that is pretty neat way to do verification.
A tip for those who haven't seen this yet. #Mastodon has its own "#verification" system. Adding a link to your Mastodon profile from your website using the rel="me" attribute will #verify that the owner of both the site and profile are the same, and you get this nifty green highlight to show it.
