They berated Jason Arday and tore him apart in the name of the “restoring” the discipline and critique. Now what? Did you get what you wanted?

We are having a ‘debate’ about ‘woke’ ‘cancel culture’ while the right is literally hounding people to death.

Some of our favorite moments from past SSSP conferences — new friendships, old friendships, and everything in between. Nothing like reconnecting with your #SSSP family year after year.

Watching my friends defend is always such an emotional experience. Like whew the whole group almost out the door

Many of you have reached out with how you can contribute to the pressure campaign to get the 2026 Resolution for the Boycott of Israeli Academic Institutions on the ASA ballot.

✨Here are three things that you can do today...

I absolutely refuse to give any validity to the idea that the social sciences are in need of revival because we’ve leaned too far left. Literally stop

We are appalled at this undemocratic action. More on collective response coming soon.

In the meantime, follow us for updates. If you sent ASA a response tag us & we'll amplify.

If you prefer to remain anonymous, send it to us on our email (in bio) & we'll share it here.

Together we will win 🇵🇸
So @asanews.bsky.social emailed its membership its refusal to put a petition to Boycott, Divest, & Sanction Israel up to a vote, one that already had 438 signatures. This undemocratic decision, they wrote, is because they're worried about membership dropping.

Well do I have news for you.
