What academic articles/books on the comparative politics or political economy of education published since the 2000s did you find most compelling, interesting, and/or important for others to read? Asking for a friend ;)
Blast from the past!
Do you know where else we've seen politicians talk about "bloodthirsty" criminals? In 19th century arguments for deploying schooling to indoctrinate the "bloodthirsty" masses.
I show this in "Raised to Obey" (@princetonupress.bsky.social)

Muchas gracias, Giacomo!
Aaaah!! Just learned that "Raised to Obey" (@princetonupress.bsky.social) has won the 2025 J. David Greenstone Book Prize for the best book in politics and history published in 2023-24. I'm speechless, grateful, and beyond thrilled by this recognition!
This is such fantastic news! Many congratulations, Vicente!
1) Is there reliable evidence that there are currently very few center-right faculty (relative to the supply of potential faculty) and too many progressive faculty at Harvard?
2) What do you think about @jennifermmorton.bsky.social's argument against hiring/admissions for "viewpoint diversity"?

"How Southern Politicians Reformed Textbooks to Resist Civil Rights Demands" -- my new article in the Journal of Historical Political Economy.
Ungated version: tinyurl.com/y32wev8y
Excited to read @aspaglayan.bsky.social’s new study which finds ”while non-Southern text-books evolved to better reflect Black activists’ curriculum demands, Alabama textbooks largely retained narratives that minimized or erased history of racial discrimination” www.nowpublishers.com/article/Deta...
Super fun interview with @asteriskmag.bsky.social in which we talk about "Raised to Obey" (@princetonupress.bsky.social) but also:
- is "indoctrination for democracy" desirable?
- is low education quality driven by "low state capacity"?
and more!

The first PhD student whose dissertation I've chaired is graduating a month from today. They just asked me to be their hooding advisor. I have tears in my eyes. May I never take for granted what an honor it is to be someone's trusted advisor.
Huge huge kudos to @anthropic.com
for releasing this detailed overview of how students are using AI.
Some pretty concerning trends here, such as students completely off-loading higher-level reasoning to LLM and mostly prompting for direct answers.
