Fantastic paper. Check it out!!!

My textbook with Gwen Sharp and Patrick Sharkey is on its third edition. This fall our team is launching a Political Science book, edited by Josh Tucker and @rudalev.bsky.social

Thrilled to have this out in the world! Check it out (sociologists might find some of the chapters useful for teaching)

The Cost of the Government’s Attack on Columbia American universities have given the country prosperity and security. The Trump administration’s attack on academic freedom endangers all of that.

Princeton's president: the attacks on Columbia are an attack on all of us.

I dunno man, if the WH can point to people from Latin America and say "gang member," and point to people from the Arab world and say "terrorist" or "antisemite," and those designations lead directly to detention or worse, I think we have to acknowledge we're in a pretty bad place.

Blog post by my colleagues @columbiauniversity.bsky.social Kate Andrias, Jessica Bulman-Pozen, Jamal Greene, Olatunde Johnson, Jeremy Kessler, Gillian Metzger, and David Pozen on the recent Title VI demand letter from the government: balkin.blogspot.com/2025/03/a-ti...

This chart seems to suggest that something is going wrong in the United States, specifically.

This isn't going to get the attention of Columbia, but it's at least as bad: the University of Maine is having its funding cut off because the governor of Maine dared to challenge Trump.

Happy 6 month anniversary of an overseas talk for which I was supposed to receive travel reimbursement but haven't yet.

Scientific societies: think twice before hiring Reed-Mackey to plan your next conference. Makes German uni bureaucracy seem positively client-centered by comparison.

And the way is good.

Are ESS folks going?

These days my free speech defenders really showing who they were the whole time.

My new article with Caitlyn Collins and Shamus Khan on constructing cases, generating claims, and generalizing conceptually in qualitative research is out in the @AnnualReviews. A big thank you to the qualitative scholars who inspired and informed our work! www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

No eggs!

Columbia continues to be closed to the public. What a terrible example of an institution of education.

Congratulations to @timgill924.bsky.social for being honored with the presidential medal of freedom today. So well earned.

Pretty excited to see the Chinese translation of Sexual Citizens come out.

Need something to listen to while you’re dashing around this weekend or chilling at home?

I humbly submit this, drawing on #SexualCitizens, coauthored w @shamuskhan.bsky.social
