The Ties That Rhyme: Duality in Symbolic and Structural Networks of Grime Music

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Do birds of a feather really sing together? Musicians face two competing pressures in the pursuit of success: conforming to genre norms to meet audience expectations and distinguishing themselves to attract the attention of listeners. These opposing logics may shape how artists choose their collaborators.

Relatability as a Racialised Construct in Corporate Graduate Recruitment: Revealing a Hidden Mechanism of Labour Market Exclusion for Black African Youth in South Africa

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In corporate graduate recruitment worldwide, candidates are often assessed not only on competence but on whether they are deemed relatable. This study theorises relatability as a racialised cultural–affective filter that covertly sustains inequality. Drawing on qualitative interviews, we identify five interlinked processes of self‐presentation,

Modeling Binary Lenses and Sources with the BAGLE Python Package

The Astrophysical Journal
Gravitational microlensing is a powerful tool that can be used to find and measure the mass of isolated and dark compact objects. In many microlensing events, the lens, the source, or both may be binary systems.

Quasar Milli-lensing and Cold Dark Matter (TNG50) Subhaloes. I. Image Splitting

The Astrophysical Journal
We use numerical mass density profiles from the TNG50 simulation to study the impact of gravitational milli-lensing by dark matter subhaloes on the images of lensed quasars.

Dynamical Systematics for Time-delay Lenses and the Impact on the Hubble Constant

The Astrophysical Journal
While time-delay lenses can independently probe H _0 , the estimates are degenerate with the convergence of the lens near the Einstein radius. Velocity dispersions, σ , can be used to break the degeneracy, with uncertainties Δ H / H _0  ∝ Δ σ ^2 / σ ^2 ...

Change in migrants’ political attitudes: Acculturation and cosmopolitanization

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper investigates change in international migrants’ political attitudes. It theorizes a novel attitudinal typology distinguishing polity‐specific attitudes influenced by national contexts and transnational attitudes forged by migratory experience. It applies the typology to four dimensions of political competition in contemporary Europe:

Microlensing timescales and flux magnification probabilities of a sample of 204 lensed quasars

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Quasar microlensing is a very useful tool in cosmology and astrophysics, as well as a source of uncertainty in certain investigations, such as the determination of the Hubble constant from lensed quasars.

The Vicissitudes of the Nafs: Madness, Paralysis, and the Work of Transgression in Sufi Ethics

Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How should we theorize Sufi ethics when the practice of zikr (remembrance) that leads to spiritual enlightenment (tazkiyya) might also bring one to the brink of majzubiyat (madness)? What forms of regulation or restraint are imagined or enacted by practitioners to prevent spiritual boundlessness from perverting into its underside of paralysis (

Beyond Bia Hơi? Distinction and Aspiration in Hanoi's Craft Beer Scene

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this article we examine the emergence of Hanoi's craft beer scene as a window into shifting class identities, aspirational consumption, and local–global negotiations in contemporary Vietnam. We bring together Bourdieu's theorisation of taste as symbolic capital with Appadurai's concept of aspiration to analyse how consumption practices ...
