I’m delighted to share that the August 2025 special issue of Sociological Methods & Research on Generative AI is out. With my co-editor, Daniel Karell, we put together this issue to build on the conference we organized last year.
Here's a thread on each of the 10 papers:

Few scholars nourished my mind like Richard Alba did. Just recently, he gave great comments on a paper of mine at the Immigration Seminar at CUNY GC - to me a career highlight! Richard, I will miss your energy, sharp mind, lucid writing, and kindness. Your legacy lives on!

My article on Generative AI and Sociology is out now in @SociusJournal!
I explore the applications of GenAI across computational, qualitative, and experimental research, and discuss important issues including bias, reliability, and interpretability.

🚨*New Paper Alert*🚨
What are the most effective ways to fight climate change? What are the returns to subsidies for wind and solar? What about EV subsidies or energy efficient appliance rebates? How about raising revenue through fuel taxes or cap and trade auctions?

NEW: Bucca and Drouhot, "Intergenerational Social Mobility Among the Children of Immigrants in Western Europe: Between Socioeconomic Assimilation and Disadvantage" sociologicalscience.com/arti…
In a new article written with my dear friend @mebucca, we adopt a social mobility approach to study assimilation in Western Europe. Our nationally representative analyses for 7 European countries show that the second generation tends to reach similar social class in adulthood 1/3

compared to native populations, conditional on class of origins, with immigrant-specific patterns of social mobility suggesting both an immigrant advantage and penalties for some origin-destination combinations. We started working on this project 2/3
in 2018 in the hallways of @CornellSoc. We then both went through major transitions, and moved across borders and oceans several times as life went on. Still, we persisted - which took a visit to Chile to hammer down the paper. Happy to see this out in the world, at last! 3/3

🚨CAN GENERATIVE AI IMPROVE SOCIAL SCIENCE?🚨 I spent the last year trying to answer this question with the help of some very thoughtful reviewers (and editors) for the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (ungated) : pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…
Opening at @UniUtrecht sociology. Along with our colleagues in ERCOMER, we form a remarkable group of younger and more senior researchers interested in issues of migration and integration in Europe and beyond - arguably unparalleled in terms of critical mass! Come join us 🤗

New paper with Linda Zhao @UChicagoSoc now out at @ReadDemography. We show general patterns of assimilation in terms of networks and identities at the 3rd generation in England, Germany and the Netherlands, with substantial heterogeneity by ethnic origins. 👇
In “Grandchildren of Immigrants in Western Europe,” Linda Zhao & @LGDrouhot employ data from 3 nations & find that the 3rd gen enters “mainstream networks while...retreating from ties with their origin ethnic group.” @UChicagoSoc @UniUtrecht @PopulationCU ow.ly/hoVh50QXXoV

New working paper on generative AI as a sociological method.
I discuss computational, experimental, and qualitative applications, and use GPT-4 & DALLE-3 to provide motivating examples of image-to-text and text-to-image analyses.
