People of #polisky (IR), a quick reminder that deadlines for @isanet.bsky.social Women's Caucus Awards (and many others) close Oct. 1. Why not nominate yourself or a qualified colleague? 1. The Gerner Grant for Professional Development (early career scholars) www.isanet.org/Programs/Awa...

LinkedIn is a wildly useless site for academic jobs. "You're an associate professor in poli sci? Here's an opening for an associate professor of epidemiology at Emory."

ISA's Women's Caucus (WCIS) is accepting nominations for 3 awards! 📢 The deadline is Oct 1, 2025. Help us spread the word! 🌟 Susan S. Northcutt Award – honoring service 🌟 Gerner Grant – early-career 🌟 Grad Student Best Paper – for WCIS members at ISA 2025. Link: www.isanet.org/Programs/Awa...

Gen AI has been trained and developed in ways that no university research ethics committee would approve. And yet as academics we supposedly need training in how to use it ‘ethically’…

Just going to play Beatles music in the background of all lectures and office hours going forward.

Are you looking for a tenure-track assistant professor job in international studies? If so, please apply to Kenyon College (see details below)! I am on the search committee and happy to answer any questions.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of @politicsgenderj.bsky.social, current editor @mlkrook.bsky.social asked the previous editors (myself and @sfranceschet.bsky.social included) to identify our favorite articles published during our terms. Check it out! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Just a note that they wouldn’t be doing this if they didn’t believe they will make this much money by using these copyrighted works and cannot make it without using them.

I'm not Florida-based, but a lot of this sounds depressingly familiar--right down to the inability to fill tenure-track postings. floridaphoenix.com/2025/09/05/n...

"That relaxed attitude about bodily autonomy comes as something of a surprise... but this is America, where you can do anything with your body unless there’s a uterus in it." 🤷‍♀️

"Mr. Schrank told reporters at the plant on Thursday that some U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents had been detained and were being released." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/u...

Up early for my first editorial board meeting. Giving myself a gold star for being online before 7AM.

Trump admin planning to change student visas from lasting for duration of academic program to fixed 4-yr term, and then much harder to renew Could destroy US ability to attract global talent, particularly those seeking advanced degrees in STEM. The median time to complete a PhD is 5.7 yrs per NSF.

A friend who owns a small business in #Canada shared a walkthrough of what happens if he ships to the U.S. #Tariffs combined with price gouging. Companies that will still ship to the U.S. have invented new fees to add on top of the 20% tariff. 1/2

If you teach on #cybersecurity politics/policy, Tim Stevens's book is great and a steal at 50% off! #polisky bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/trade/what-i...

The @ajc.com reporting on data center expansion in #GA is pretty eye-popping. -The largest proposed data centers would use power equivalent to the output of a nuclear reactor -One proposed campus estimates its water needs at 9 million gallons/day... 1/3 www.ajc.com/news/2025/08...

One outcome of elitism is that (paradoxically) no one talks about the prestige problem. Faculty with doctorates from elite institutions who #mentor in non-elite Ph.D. programs are sometimes clueless abt the fact that their students face different structural obstacles to employment. #polisky 1/4

This is an awful story but one that needs to be read & shared. (Warning for graphic/disturbing content)

Worth sharing if only to emphasize how misguided much of the current groupthink in #highered leadership is. 1/x www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/u...

I’m excited to share my new piece with @bindinghook.bsky.social. This article serves as a summary of my forthcoming co-authored piece with two of my students in a special forum I co-edited with @profhenshaw.bsky.social for @gsqjournal.bsky.social. bindinghook.com/the-digital-...

Unemployment among computer science/engineering grads is roughly 2x that of grads in fine arts & social sciences. As an added bonus, a poli sci/IR degree could lead to a better understanding of the political impact of high youth unemployment. 🤷‍♀️ #polisky www.nytimes.com/2025/08/10/t...

✨ New to @gsqjournal.bsky.social ✨ Our special forum is taking shape! Check out my piece on norm entrepreneurship & gender in cybersecurity, in which I examine how European countries address gender (or not) in national cyber strategies. 1/x #openaccess #polisky academic.oup.com/isagsq/artic...

Going through old books at home. Found two copies of Thucydides and three different editions of The Prince. This is what happens when two poli sci majors get married. 🙄

Now online! "We are pleased to present a new average profile of American women leaders and make new data available for existing and future leader profiling." doi.org/10.1017/S104... #polisky

New predatory journal invitation just dropped. I've been invited to submit to a publication based on my expertise in entropy. #polisky

I regret to inform you that we have now hit peak 2020s. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/01/s...

Hard to believe that anyone walking around this country as a sentient being believed those numbers in the first place. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Happy 15th anniversary of the peak achievement of literary criticism, to all who celebrate

More reporting on the parthenogenesis rate, in which women are the sole participants in human reproduction.

Take a look at these radio stations (incl. Troy Public Radio in #AL). Every vulnerable station represents jobs, most concentrated in rural communities w/little other news access. The agenda is clear. #NPR #PBS www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This is so gross and dystopian: "High-schoolers will log into a Zoom call with other students and a peer tutor, debate topics like immigration or Israel-Palestine, and rate one another on traits like empathy, curiosity or kindness." www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/o...

The Contemporary Reader of Feminist IR will be out as an e-book on July 20. I contributed a chapter, but this is really an all-star line-up. Kudos to the editors! #polisky www.taylorfrancis.com/books/edit/1...

A new paper in The Lancet, one of the world’s foremost peer reviewed medical journals, estimates that USAID prevented 91 million deaths across 133 countries over 20 years. The paper estimates that Elon Musk’s DOGE funding cuts to USAID will lead to 14 million deaths by 2030 (4.5 million children).

Fondly recalling my own experience with NSF review... in which one reviewer questioned why fieldwork couldn't just be done on Zoom and another referred to feminist IR as not a "well-established body of research." 🫠 www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Put another way, it seems like a lot of energy (literal and metaphorical) being devoted to a system that the vast majority of people don't use.

Consultants made bank selling the prescription that struggling public universities could remain relevant by substituting dwindling state funds with (now non-existent) federal grant money and (now non-existent) recruitment of international students. 1/ #highered
