Although the book will not be out until the summer, I just got the cover for it, and I am excited to share it with the world (or the five or so kind folks who engage with this post). I look forward to sharing more about my book “Information Brokers” with @uchicagopress.bsky.social in the new year.

My first solo pub! 🚨 🎉

New from Michael Miller and me at @thejop.bsky.social: Evidence that, in most areas that were affected by the decision, the Supreme Court decision gutting the Voting Rights Act in 2013 (Shelby County v Holder) increased the racial turnout gap. A thread... www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

This looks absolutely fantastic! The history of the Voting Rights Act - and all the many ways in which the Roberts Court has been assaulting it. @kevintmorris.bsky.social is doing brilliant, essential work - and this book will be mandatory reading the minute it is out. Pre-order this now.

Successfully defended my dissertation yesterday! Keep a look out for one of the chapters on Shelby v. Holder in JREP. Now it’s time to lock in and find housing near Appalachian State University 🤙🏻

Why don't you continue the momentum from APSA and present your work at JAWS? We are still taking submissions! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

It's that time of the year to discuss our fabulous candidates on the academic job market from the Department of Political Science at the University of Iowa! /1

If you're in the Boulder/Denver metro area feel free to join us Sept 19th for a mini conference on race, gender, and immigration politics at CU. We've finalized presenters, but attendee registration is still open.

Good morning, election data nerds! Here's a Monday morning present for you: we've finished updating our county-level presidential election results dataset to include 2024. The full dataset (covering 2000-2024) is now available on our Dataverse: buff.ly/eUGYc1h

It is a hard, but important time to be thinking and talking collectively about Medicaid. Join us next week (June 12th) for a historically grounded, future facing discussion.

So excited to have the opportunity to present my dissertation research for JAWs! Interested in voting rights/ language protections (esp. now that English is our official language 🙄)? Don’t forget to tune in!!

It’s late. Read it in the morning. But my new one is up. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

President Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemy Act of 1798 against Tren de Aragua raises a bunch of messy (but really important) legal questions. Via "One First" (and cross-posted at @justsecurity.org), I take a shot at asking and answering five of them: www.stevevladeck.com/p/132-five-q...

In our new #JREP #OpenAccess article, we show that racial attitudes are linked to perceptions of voter fraud and support for the #J6 Insurrection (w/ @cnicolejones.bsky.social @mattbarreto.bsky.social @michaelherndon.bsky.social) Summary: vrp.ucla.edu/vrp-article-... #polisci #politics #insurrection
