Screenshot of a paper abstract in Area by Sander van Lanen, Jaap G. Nieuwenhuis, Mitchell D. van Dijk (2026) entitled: 'Limits to Participation: Neighbourhood-Based Volunteer Initiatives and Contradictions of the Dutch Participation Society' with a black banner at the top. The Dutch participation society, like similar programmes elsewhere, aims to shift care responsibilities to households and communities, with the state only acting as a carer or last resort. In this paper, we investigate whether volunteer neighbourhood-based initiatives are capable of delivering various forms of care: general assistance, mobility services and sustainability efforts. Interviews with 54 individuals active in nine initiatives in the north of the Netherlands inquired about the motivations of volunteers to become and remain active, and what influenced potential decisions to stop. The results show that important incentives to start volunteering are social networks, a sense of duty and self-interest and a desire for experience and fulfilment. Volunteers appreciated the sense of fulfilment from social networks and providing support, and the informal nature of volunteer work. Volunteers responded negatively to tendencies of formalisation, the absence of challenges or personal friction with other participants. We argue that there is a central contradiction for care and support delivered by neighbourhood-based initiatives: the levels of formalisation necessary to provide structured high-quality care and support run the risk of alienating volunteers. Either initiatives remain informal to maintain volunteer satisfaction but are unlikely to deliver structured care to people in need, or they professionalise at the risk of dissatisfied volunteers.

Most segregation research examines neighborhoods, schools, or workplaces separately. But do individuals' exposure align across domains and persist over the life course? We fill this gap using 27 years of 🇸🇪 data.

Thanks for the shout out, I can only recommend that people read this fantastic paper!
Could not agree more - further work is needed to understand how national moves and economic opportunities change anti-immigrant sentiment. This is a brilliant paper! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

📢 In this Social Forces article, I introduce occupational elitism as a novel measure of social closure: the share of upper-class background workers within an occupation.
Its consequences for earnings stratification can be examined using a social closure theory lens.

Bij extreme winstmarges denk je waarschijnlijk niet aan wetenschappelijke uitgevers. Toch slaan wetenschappers alarm: de tarieven voor ‘open’ publicaties rijzen de pan uit en staan niet in verhouding tot de werkelijke kosten. Publiek onderzoeksgeld verdwijnt zo rechtstreeks naar aandeelhouders.
Boven is onder, vrede is oorlog, je ogen liegen.

Very happy to see this out in CPS! We study class identities and their social and political relevance over several decades in Britain, Denmark, Norway, and the US. A small thread:

New paper out with @kchihaya.bsky.social and @eduardotapia.bsky.social. We show how a tendency to move near kin can preserve patterns of segregation, using a combination of discrete choice models and micro-simulations applied to the case of immigrants and their descendants living in Stockholm.
This smells distinctly like collider bias and/or selection bias and/or regression to the mean... You simply can't select teen prodigies, and world class athletes rom databases, and go run regressions without serious consideration of the selection process!
yes please
Vorige week was er een staking in het hoger onderwijs. 7000 academici en studenten trokken naar Amsterdam, maar slechts weinigen leken acht te slaan op de staking. Want hoewel de universiteiten de staking steunden, gingen lessen en tentamens gewoon door.

Abstract for "The truly isolated: Spatial isolation of advantage in the United States" by Shannon Rieger, Angela Li, and Patrick Sharkey, published at Urban Studies
👉 Our new paper uses daily mobility data to show that spatial isolation is much more common today among those living in advantaged neighborhoods than the converse.
👩🏻💻 Lots of massive data wrangling and careful assumptions about mobility data needed - but check it out here! doi.org/10.1177/0042...
