Delighted to share my new paper with Prof. Yue Qian in Nature Human Behaviour. (https://lnkd.in/eYtzn-f9)

Has global education expansion led to greater equality in educational opportunity? No, but why?

We show how gender and the mother really matter for intergenerational mobility.

Our evidence covers 106 societies (~90% world population) - 1.79 million respondents from 545 surveys born between 1956 and 1990.

Chen Jun, my MA student at Central China Normal University, has shared slides and sample R code that he produced that introduce the use of R to analyze the CGED-Q JSL public releases. We hope that this will be useful for anyone thinking about using R to carry out analysis of the CGED-Q JSL. https://camerondcampbell.blog/resources-for-users-of-the-cged-q-jinshenlu-public-release/lessons-for-using-r-to-analyze-the-cged-q-jsl-public-release/
Using R to Analyze the CGED-Q JSL Public Release - Cameron D. Campbell 康文林

Chen Jun, an MA Student at Central China Normal University, created a series of Chinese-language Powerpoint decks explaining how to use R to analyze the CGED-Q JSL Public Releases.

Margaret Atwood responds to the banning of "The Handmaid's Tale" from a high school library.

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/02/margaret-atwood-handmaids-tale-virginia-book-ban-library-removal/673013/

"How dare I question the school board’s motives? I do dare. After all, it has questioned mine."

Who’s Afraid of The Handmaid’s Tale?

To those who seek to stop young people from reading <em>The Handmaid’s Tale</em>: Good luck with that. It’ll only make them want to read it more.

There are some uncontroversially good applications where universities could take the lead instead of paying external vendors. For instance, Explainpaper allows you to highlight a confusing sentence in an academic paper and get an explanation. Imagine doing that for textbooks — or, say, early modern pamphlets. https://www.explainpaper.com/
Explainpaper

A better way to read academic papers.

Happy to share our new paper, which comprehensively theorizes/examines how occupational gender segregation is reproduced across generations. We propose & test the new theory of "gender boundary-setting". We distinguish direct occupational imitation from indirect gender learning. Recognizing the two-way traffic of children's social learning and parents' expectations, we disentangle whether children's social learning is "dictated" by their parents' directive (no) http://doi.org/10.1111/gwao.12957

Something I learnt about only recently (it may have been on here): for many arxiv preprints, if you replace the "x" in the url with a "5", you will get a nice accessible html  version!

example:

Works quite well for reading on your phone in the train for example 👍

From the Annals of Overpromising Academic Paper Titles: "Female Sexual Function During the COVID-19 Pandemic in the United States." The convenience sample of 91 female cannabis dispensary customers who filled out a survey, and then filled out a follow-up survey during the pandemic (no response rate reported), are not even identified as cannabis customers till 300 words into the abstract.

Covid-19 is once again spreading across America, driven by the recent holidays, fewer precautions and the continuing evolution of Omicron subvariants.

But the same tools continue to curtail the spread of Covid, especially bivalent boosters, masks, ventilation, antivirals and other precautions, experts said. My latest for @TheGuardian:

#Covid #Covid19 #boosters #XBB15

‘People aren’t taking this seriously’: experts say US Covid surge is big risk

Fewer precautions, recent holidays and subvariants have driven rise in cases but boosters, masks and other precautions are still effective

One blessing of #chatGPT - it might just drive essay mills out of business? 🤣 😂 as an academic with a Chinese/non-English sounding name, I’ve had the ‘joy’ of receiving these essay-mill season’s greetings on a daily basis. 🙄
