Wealth inequality in the U.S. is extreme. So extreme, that it's hard to gain intuition. With a new interactive visualization Asher Dvir-Djerassi and I provide a tool that may help.

It lets you explore wealth levels across the full distribution (inequality among the 99%) while also allowing the display of wealth at the top that would otherwise be "off the charts".

Check it out (you can mark up the x-axis & add the Forbes 400): https://asherdvirdjerassi.github.io/wealth_thresholds_viz/figure1.html

Completed the page proofs for my first data visualization to be published in Socius! Here's the sneak peak (well, the whole thing): https://jrpepin.github.io/NCHAT_Money/

✨ New in!

Do parents divide their parental leave more equally if the mother did not give birth?

@anflaneuse Thank you 🙏 The first half a year will be busy with development teaching materials and finishing off old work. But I hope to then be able to focus more on the causes and consequences of family dynamics in older age 🙌

@brenchurchill Very good to know, Brendan! Thank you 🙏

Dear sociologists,

@thhaase and I have created a rough and dirty web app, which lists sociological accounts on Mastodon, and offers you to create a following list. This list allows you to follow all the accounts you chose at once. The webpage is still work in progress but it should do its job.

https://trutzig89182.github.io/Mastodon-Sociologists/

I think it can be very helpful for sociologists freshly joining mastodon.

⚡ Using my first post to announce that I am delighted to have joined the fantastic team of Prof. Anette Fasang at her chair of #microsociology back @HumboldtUniBerlin as a Research and Teaching Fellow. I'm really looking forward to reintegrating into the lively #Berlin research community after a wonderful Postdoc at the Department of #Sociology @UniOxford.

I will be working on topics around #familydynamics, #wealth, #lifecourse, #stratification, #gender, #socialdemography etc.
