Imposter participants in qualitative research - a difficult and growing problem. It's happened to us recently, so it's helpful to see this paper out identifying it as a more widespread problem.

Music! Yesterday I saw Belgian band Warhaus playing at TivoliVredenburg. Very stylish alt/crooner/rock/chanson/noise blend. Also good for people with 80s nostalgia: Audience was an intriguing mix of <30s and >50s, most wearing black.

Sounds like this (though album is more polished than the live version):

Liberals and conservative use similar moral words, but they attach different meanings to those words

Maybe seems obvious, but suggests that moral politics is a competition over *meaning* and not promoting specific values

It also has implications for how we think about and use (or don't use) dictionary methods for understanding morality in text and speech.

@fonolog Meteen op de boodschappenlijst gezet! Zijn Alpenjagerslied staat op de pui van ons universiteitsgebouw in Leuven. Ik heb gisteren nog (tevergeefs) geprobeerd het in het Engels vertalen voor mijn Iraanse en Chinese promovendi.
"Zou het misschien kunnen dat mensen gewoon willen dansen, plezier maken, uit de bol gaan zonder een excessief duur ticketje? Zou er iets ­tussen markt en overheid kunnen ­bestaan? Is het nog mogelijk om buiten de creatieve industrie te feesten? Moet het dan op zijn minst met subsidiegeld worden betaald? Of mag het alleen nog maar ver verdoken in de private sfeer met vrienden en ­familie?"

De ravers vierden gewoon het leven

De rave in Brustem bestempelen als commerciële activiteit die een btw-nummer had moeten hebben, slaat de bal volledig mis, schrijft Pascal Gielen. Mensen willen hun gemeenschap juist opzoeken buiten het commerciële vrijetijdsaanbod.

Anyway - it's nice to think about also as a sort of sociology of sociology.

I think I remember these colleagues 😊 Yes, there may be good reason to take Indian sociology more seriously than we do. Anyway, Some (semi-)European journals are doing quite well qua Americans, notably the cultural sociology journals CS and Poetics (both in the sample I saw but CS probably is the most transatlantic subfield), as well as the curious example of European Journal of S/Archives Europeennes which is mostly an American-French collab these days.
