my latest, out in Perspectives on Politics (and open access!)
The upshot: online information environments are really complex. Truth and lies are often blended together. Fact checking doesn't really work and is unevenly implemented.
What we need is an ethnographic approach to online misinformation.

Oh hey! It’s me!
New article now available and Open Access.
Fact-checking doesn’t really work. If we want to understand what misinformation does, ethnography is super useful.
Come for the discussion of windmills and Elon Tweets, stay for the talk of the “Afrikaner Refugees.” It’s a wild time.

My antitrust attitudes paper with Nick Short and Jacob Brown is out now @poppublicsphere.bsky.social
doi.org/10.1017/S153...
We find:
- voters are skeptical about M&A
- current law marginalizes important public concerns (layoffs, bailout risk, lobbying)
- expert/public cleavage > partisan diffs

In this new paper with Spencer Goidel and @barmstrong.bsky.social, we show that the drug crisis boosts Republican vote, especially among independents, by lowering both Democratic support and abstention.

The Political Limits of the Patriarchy: Women’s Rights in Early Representative Institutions
Excited to share my new publication @poppublicsphere.bsky.social! We often think that women’s formal political participation began in the 1900s. Using archival records from over 150 assembly meetings between 1493-1789 in France, I show that, in fact, some women had political rights much earlier!
