as if "From the Editors" wasn't enough

We generally try to avoid "inside sociology" stuff at contexts, but you can hear my bloviations and those of Doug E. Fresh on today's podcast. Though we were a tiny bit ambivalent about going toe-to-toe with Smajda and the Woz, this was a fun interview. Painful for the listener, perhaps, but fun for us.

You can also hear Sarah Lageson's fine intro and outro on this episode, plus Jesse Wozniak interviewing Sarah Shannon on David Kirk's great new Katrina/recidivism piece in ASR.* I'm continually amazed at the talented grad students here at Contexts World Headquarters, but especially happy to hear advisees sounding so much more articulate and authoritative than their advisor. If our grad board is any indication, the next generation of contexts-like sociological outreach is gonna leave me and doug in the dust.

*Sarah S. is also guest-posting today at public criminology.
