I'll be presenting my work on US far-right media coverage of the 2023 anti-immigrant riot in Dublin, Ireland this afternoon at #ICA25 in Denver. Come say hi if you're around or if you're interested in transnational far-right media coverage!

Had a fantastic time at my first hackathon learning lots of new things from some amazing researchers! #hackica25 #ica25

My primary professional organization, which alternates annual meeting locations each year, has moved its 2027 conference out of the U.S. - where it was already booked - saying it will hold no more meetings during the current admin after this year in the U.S. This is unprecedented to my knowledge.

But the oligarchs (currently hoarding much of that $) think it’s their own brilliance & not the accident of standing close to the scientific engine that made them rich.

God’s country

Times are tough right now. Which makes celebrating those around us who are making a difference all the more important. Today, that means showcasing my incredible mom! A proud immigrant and lifelong educator who always puts her students first: online-distance.ncsu.edu/2025/04/14/g...

Our grad students have started decorating their office doors. As a fan of hoopla & everything extra, I obviously love this. But I especially love @carolynschmitt.bsky.social & @lorcancneill.bsky.social door 🇺🇸 👻 🗳️

Happy Sally Rooney Day to all who celebrate! 🇮🇪 www.nytimes.com/2024/09/21/m...

For all the moral panic about legalizing marijuana, it seems that the much less critiqued legalization of sports betting will end up wreaking a great deal of devastation. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Ready to get hurt again!

Feeling reinvigorated following a wonderful #APSA2024. It was great to present some work from my first year at UNC as well as to catch-up with and meet so many amazing scholars whose work I find truly inspiring.
