@ank-scpo.bsky.social reveals using fine-scale local data that over 40% of Indians now live in areas where air pollution and heatwaves overlap (a growing phenomenon), exposing millions to compounded environmental risks. sciencespo.hal.science/hal-05707607v1 #India #Pollution #Inequalities

Very excited that my long-time PhD desk-mate, Julie Pereira, published her article showing that intensive violin classes have a long-run negative impact on learning outcomes. A must-read for those engaged in early-years education research. @cris-sciencespo.bsky.social doi.org/10.1177/0038...

How do Paris police handle complaints about young people occupying public space in their own neighbourhoods? Drawing on police intervention records and ethnographic data, the study shows how order maintenance policing shapes who gets to stay — and who gets moved on. academic.oup.com/bjc/advance-...

By directly measuring skills, the new article by @labussieremarie.bsky.social and @thijsbol.bsky.social sheds light on a source of wage inequality and labor market structure that broad socio-professional categories largely overlook. @scpo-research.bsky.social sociologicalscience.com/articles-v13...

En mesurant directement les compétences, l’article de @labussieremarie.bsky.social met en lumière une source d’inégalités de salaires et une structure du marché du travail que les grandes catégories socioprofessionnelles laissent largement dans l’ombre sociologicalscience.com/articles-v13...

🥁New paper! People talk a lot about skills in relation to technological change, but how do we measure skills? We show occupational classifications miss their complexity. Using millions of job ads, we model skill profiles and better explain wage inequality ⬇️ sociologicalscience.com/articles-v13...

Cet article de Magda Boutros analyse comment une politique d’« éviction des indésirables » contribue à organiser l’espace urbain d’un quartier, à Paris. Il met au jour un travail policier de « tranquillité publique » co‑construit avec la municipalité et la justice. shs.cairn.info/revue-devian...

Cette étude montre l'intérêt de l'école maternelle particulièrement pour les enfants défavorisés. On le savait déjà. Mais il n'est pas inutile de le vérifier.

New paper by @lidiapanico.bsky.social on whether French preschool reduces inequalities among children. High quality, universal early education is positive for all children's cognitive development, and can decrease inequalities. @cris-sciencespo.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

What happens when politicians pivot during a crisis? I examine Trump’s July 2020 mask pivot. It increased Republican mask use, closing 40% of the partisan gap. But paradoxically, beliefs about masks' efficacy didn’t change. doi.org/10.1177/0003... @asanews.bsky.social #Trump #PublicHealth

Katharina Tittel, @piotram.bsky.social and I identified patterns of sources in French-language X immigration posts and the likely ideological leanings of posters. Far-right users uniquely flood feeds with hyper-partisan sources, but also post mainstream and public media like left/center users.

Interesting new paper out by Katharina Tittel and @williamlallen.bsky.social. Sharing practices on social media are used by members of defensive publics to assert dominance in a contested media environment. @cris-sciencespo.bsky.social @scpo-research.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
