📚 NEW BOOK - open access!

This Research Handbook provides an overview of the changing landscape of human #partnerships, integrating diverse theoretical and empirical perspectives. Leading scholars explore the complex interplay between individual #lifetrajectories, societal norms, and legal frameworks in shaping modern #relationships.

In #ResearchPolicy the authors explore how different forms of mobility – academic, institutional, geographic, and disciplinary – shape scientific recognition among biology professors in 🇨🇭:

:doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.respol.2025.105253

It’s remarkably simple: in Swiss science, the highest recognition often goes to foreigners.

Just like in Ukrainian universities – where the government spares no expense to recruit promising Brazilians!

Oh, wait… no, that’s football.

I've updated my SADI repository of #Stata code for life-course sequence analysis to cope with Stata 18.

No major changes, but if you are using Stata 18 it is worth updating:

. net from https://teaching.sociology.ul.ie/sadi
. net install sadi
. net get sadi

Then run distances.do to test.
