Happy to announce the 1st ever @isanet.bsky.social conference in South Asia in August 2026. Hosted in Colombo, Sri Lanka, we welcome proposals from scholars based in and/or studying South Asian politics & international relations, but also broader global themes ofc www.isanet.org/Conferences/...
My 2-year-old opened the newspaper, took a look at a photo of the cabinet, and said, "Why only uncles? Why no aunties?"
This cabinet has a lot of other problems too but why indeed.
I like to pull together the latest work on gender and politics from the global south a few times a year, mostly as an accountability mechanism to keep up. Here's the latest one with articles published since September 2025: open.substack.com/pub/genderpo...

I am hiring a post-doctoral fellow (2 years) to work on all things political finance in Africa. There are no teaching obligations, and lots of opportunities for fieldwork. A PhD in Political Science is a requirement. Please spread the word! Happy to answer questions - send them to my LSE email.
🚨Reminder to consider this great opportunity!
Clarification: timing is a bit crazy yes, but we ideally need people to express interest before the end of the year so we can potentially work on an application when we come back in early January :)

Excited to post the latest version of my JMP: The female labor supply constraints of spousal jealousy bit.ly/4nn9apn

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did.
We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.
🚨 out at @apsrjournal.bsky.social 🚨
➡️ We ran a large media literacy experiment to fight misinformation
➡️ 13,500 students, 583 villages in Bihar, India
➡️Created custom misinfo curriculum of 4 months
➡️Partnered w the government to roll it out as an official course in classrooms
hopeful findings👇🏽
I know there are many crises at the moment but I would like us to discuss another one: bros talking crypto at cafes. It's inescapable and insufferable and someone do something.
NC GOP release is clear about the anti-democratic intent - memory-holes TX redistricting and says they will "block the efforts of blue state Democrats to take control of Congress from Republicans" as if winning an election is illegitimate bergerpress.medium.com/general-asse...
How common are “survey professionals” - people who take dozens of online surveys for pay - across online panels, and do they harm data quality?
Our paper, FirstView at @politicalanalysis.bsky.social, tackles this question using browsing data from three U.S. samples (Facebook, YouGov, and Lucid):
At a time when we're witnessing so much cruelty, it's crucial to recognize and credit good people doing thankless, benevolent, and sometimes therefore dangerous work.
🚨🚨 Some hope: media and information literacy trainings - modules providing crucial skills to better consume information - in classroom settings appears to move the needle, and to have positive externalities!
Check out the (open-access) results of our large field-experiment in India.
The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.
Francesca and her colleagues have contributed so much public data on India, it's truly transformative (and fricking hard work!)
We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.
My two year old has started following me around and constantly asking "Mumma doing? Mumma doing?" and it's easily my favorite part of each day
BREAKING: WE WON!!!

Federal Judge William G. Young ruled today in our lawsuit against the Trump administration that the policy of arresting, detaining, & deporting noncitizen students & faculty members for their pro-Palestinian advocacy violates the 1st Amendment.

Really great and carefully done paper on the bureaucracy ⬇️
Congrats!
"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."
Excited to be working from Madrid this year at @uc3m.es in the Fall and IE in the Spring!
