We're so proud of our team (@deanneroark.bsky.social, @skytheacademic.bsky.social @zinab.bsky.social) for their tremendous work on #MOWIP training in Fiji!

Their dedication set these reports and future projects up for great success.

Thanks to EthosCRS, the #Elsienitiative, the RFMF, and the FPF!

I got to explain the 14th amendment to my class today. Many didn’t know it was a reconstruction amendment. This is why one of the best things we can do is provide the history behind what leads to the madness. People truly don’t know.

People don't really think any of this! Overestimates of small proportions are a quirk of general innumeracy, not genuine misperceptions.

Starting a first draft of a replication paper for #isa2025, does anyone have a well-structured replication paper I can use as a template?

I’ve created @polviolencepapers.bsky.social to repost working papers on political violence. Since Bluesky doesn’t have a bookmark function yet, I thought we needed a dedicated space to store all those working papers often shared here.

starting off the day with my first ever request to review a paper for a journal (so exciting!!!!). any tips on best practices for referees as I go through it?

Forgot to share on here: Hi! Conflict Processes @ MPSA section head here. Don’t forget to submit your proposals today. If you’re struggling because of world events or not sure of fit email/message me.

The USIP fellowship was an amazing experience: it provided the time & support to make dissertation progress, connections to incredible minds at USIP & a network of brilliant junior scholars working on peace & conflict research.

Also: it took me *multiple* application attempts.

Apply! PSJMInfo
