As I wrap up another awesome seminar with my students in D.C., the time has come to share that I am leaving Arkansas State. I am excited to share that I am joining the Hugo Wall School at Wichita State as an Assistant Professor of Public Administration. Here's to a new adventure!

It’s important to pay attention to how women in office are being treated. It says a lot.

No worries though. I have built my own reputation over time and this doesn’t happen now. Whatever you choose to do just be consistent and understanding.

The accuracy. I started teaching courses once taught by someone who was notorious for easy As. The first time I taught it I was told I should be fired for how hard my class was.

Amid Bridgeport election debacle, voter suppression fears emerge An alleged incident of ballot fraud in Bridgeport has left some residents fatigued. Others worry the response could curtail voting access.

"Andrea Benjamin, a professor at the University of Oklahoma who studies race, politics, local elections and voting behavior, said it’s possible that with a re-do of the primary looming, voters in Bridgeport are experiencing fatigue."

Crowdsourcing ?: the bias of student course evaluations is well documented. Do any folks know of research about using interviews with students to evaluate faculty teaching? Or general thoughts on this practice for tenure and promotion?

Gearing up for the book release so I am sharing some of my fav term limit facts. First, term limits are NOT binary. In fact, we have 4 types of term limits and these distinctions matter for how we evaluate limits and our lawmakers. Promise.
