When I watch shows like #StarTrek and #TheExpanse, outside of the sci-fi worlds in which they are set, humanity has a different quality than it does in present reality, in StarTrek at least from #TNG, #DeepSace9 and #Voyager, the people have their job within Starfleet, but beyond that they are not obsessed with what is trending, there is not much division among ranks everyone is fairly equal in life, and they pursue actual human growth and individual fulfilment without the pomp and circumstance we to in our world, and in The Expanse technology in where there is no shortage of, you have the Earthers and the Martians that are fairly civil towards one another even though they are vying for some sort of dominate place but not so much at the cost of everything, and the Belters who really tie the story together how they simply want equality and without them neither the Earthers nor Martians could be where they are, anyways when you look at all these groups of people from a #sociological lens, you see far more harmony across the divides and dare I say class's of people, through all the little events in these stories, unity and a unified outcome is what always shines, it is rather sad that in a #sci-fi #technology based space world humans are more connected to one another than here in a rather rudimentary techno-evolving reality, #Humans, what are they good for, because at the end of the day, after all the #news scrolling, and the #socialmedia posts, people are so disconnected from one another and their own selves, that it is hard to imagen that stories of hope unity transcendence and evolvement could ever even be conceived;

New #openaccess book!
'Sacred Callings' is an innovative #sociological study of cross-national trends in the global #Catholic #priesthood. Based on a comparative-historical analysis of priesthood trends in #Argentina, #Malta, #Nigeria, and the #Philippines, author Brian Conway investigates how significant developments within the Catholic #Church have shaped the evolution of vocations over time.

Why do people always think #technology is the answer to #sociological questions ?

@easysociology @academicchatter @academicsunite @sociology Do you recommend any particular #sociological #dictionary above others?

Excellent piece about the importance of #museums as sites of #cultural and #sociological significance, and how they are sites of #research by @ANUResearch's Professor #KylieMessage.
If we let our cultural institutions wither and die, we are eroding research #infrastructure.
One for the #GLAM #GLAMR folks.

The biggest mistake #humanity has made is thinking #technology can solve #sociological problems.

3/3 #Bibliometric maps are great for showing the relative distances between clusters of knowledge but lack deterministic coordinates and emphasize papers over people. Inversely, #sociological maps focus on individuals in a deterministic system of social variables but poorly capture the intellectual content of science. We reconcile these approaches by focusing on researchers primarily as knowledge producers and thereby trace the relationships between epistemic and social dimensions of science.

Sociologically Imagining York - our department has created a podcasted walk through the city of #York - exploring 16 different sites of the city through a #sociological lens. Developed and created by @kathr_ithm and Mary Laing #sociology #urbansociology I really enjoyed contributing! https://www.sociologicallyimaginingyork.com/

"...periods of change, #imperial transition, and in post-imperial orders.
Rather than suggesting grand syntheses or highly sheltered micro-analyses, projects should start from an intermediary level of investigation...We also expect a fruitful combination of #historical, #politological and #sociological approaches to #empires and those developed in cultural and literary studies. The projects of the #RTG together are expected to demonstrate the extent to which..."

Interesting #research, though the results are not surprising, seeing that they track with the #sociological #data over the past half decade+.

@berkes Hey thanks for replying. The problem I am referring to is not technical, it is #sociological.
Any algorithmic message scoring & distribution system implemented on the server leads to #gamification of communication. There is no ”fair” way to do it, as humans are not stupid and will try to game any system to their advantage.
The late 2010’s showed ample evidence this leads to outsized influence of the vile & cunning on public forums.

One of the most typical narratives in #philosophical / #sociological texts in #Japanese is to be cynical and ironical against the free society: even if you think you lived freely, your life style has been set up for the sake of the capitalism which exploits your freedom by tricking you into believing you were free.
This type of cynicism is seen so broadly that it plagues any narratives which try to be constructive to propose a principle for fixing the actual problems of the society.

> since they do not relate to #LLM but to consequences of #sociological #phenomena.
To me for now the answer is ‘nope, #LLM can’t fool some into believing it ‘understands’, but it doesn’t. It’s getting better in statistics that allow it to spit out seemingly ‘right’ fragments of text scraped, classified for the task of text completion after given a prompt.’

Hmm... this makes me wonder what #sociological comparisons/studies are being done on the various Asian and South Asian diasporas?
When I dress up in trad clothes, I feel like I'm a different person because my parents dressed me Western as soon as we arrived in England.
