Book bans are rising, but everyday Americans dont want them.
We tested ~2000 people, and found broad acceptance, not polarization.
The public doesn't echo elite battles.

New paper out in Socio-Economic Review on how doctors and patients talk about the price of care in fertility medicine! I find that the way they talk about money is radically different depending on both the clinic's targeted clientele and organizational structure academic.oup.com/ser/advance-...

Not thinking of endowment per capita here, but how to tell a story about higher ed that doesn't focus on a handful of highly atypical institutions.
I'm not sure you can tell a great public story about Harvard. But there's another story to be told about what a "war on higher ed" actually looks like.

William Labov, Who Studied How Society Shapes Language, Dies at 97
He laid the foundation for sociolinguistics, and he showed that structures like class and race shaped speech as much as where someone lives.
βThere is no reason to believe that any nonstandard vernacular is in itself an obstacle to learning. The chief problem is ignorance of language on the part of all concerned. Our job as linguists is to remedy this ignorance.β-Labov, in 1972.

We're in a dangerous moment here. A lot of US progressives and leftists have grown disillusioned w the climate movement as such. Mainstream climate has mostly been silent on genocide. The GND turned into IRA, which turned into minimal social wins and Harris running on fracking. Trump's back. π§΅
