Oh well then I’m switching careers to become a model

Don’t worry! We are Data Scientists 😉

Our call for the 2025 Empirical Studies of Conflict (ESOC) Annual Meeting on Geostrategic Opportunity and Upheaval on October 9-10 is up! Submissions due on June 16. W/ Yuri Zhukov @laiabalcells.bsky.social @austinlw.bsky.social @renardsexton.bsky.social More here: esoc.princeton.edu/events/2025/...

It’s finally here—just got my first author's copies of "In Our Interest: How Democracies Can Make Immigration Popular"! Excited for more folks to check it out.

And hey, even if my evidence and arguments don’t win you over, at least the cover will look great in any room.

Zach is a good friend, so I can verify that this is strong action in support of science

The foundations of America’s prosperity are being dismantled Federal scientists warn that Americans could feel the effects of the new administration's devastating cuts for decades to come

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

A reminder that Monday is the deadline to submit a paper for the Carolinas Conflict Consortium. Spending a couple of days at the coast learning about exciting new research sounds pretty good right now, doesn't it? 🙋

Congratulations 🎉!

I accepted. My book is open source, though, so is no doubt already part of the training data.

Sorry, but it's a populism movie. Elites are ineffective (FBI) or bad ("terrorists" in Saville Row suits). The media is corrupt. Only a (male) hero with common sense and grit to save us.

But how good did the cake taste?

The SPSA is pleased to announce that Dr. Mark S. Hurwitz will begin serving as the new Executive Director of the Southern Political Science Association on January 1, 2025. Read more about Mark here!

Check out this cool paper by @akoustov.bsky.social: highlighting the national benefits of immigration increases its importance among pro-immigration voters, shifting public opinion and priorities toward pro-immigration reforms without mobilizing opposition. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Nicholas Valentino @electionstudies.bsky.social @umisrcps.bsky.social on the 2024 election: Dobbs didn't generate enough mobilizing anger among any groups except feminist women; Trump's campaign centered on triggering anger among everyone else.

Why do some reforms fail despite popular support, and why do some politicians benefit when voters focus on particular issues?

In my new piece with @jamesrdennison.bsky.social, we discuss how voters make decisions based on not just what they think about issues but also how much they care about them

NSF is hosting workshops on the ethical and social dynamics of climate intervention technologies.

Public Support for Power Grabs after Civil Conflict Power-sharing is a recognized strategy for reaching durable settlements among rivals. However, power-sharing arrangements are often violated when one side grabs power. We examine public perceptions...
