I will never understand how the dictionary became one of the best things on the internet. But it did. And this tribute is perfection.

I’m very honored to receive this recognition! Only 10 awards were given and Geneseo is small but mighty in the SUNY system, so it is very humbling to be among this group of scholars. I guess I really need to write this book now too 😅 www.geneseo.edu/news/brant-r...

Many thanks to @poliscisara.bsky.social for visiting my Women & Politics class today to discuss her research, “Politics of Bathroom Access and Exclusion.” My students loved the article and Sara’s visit to talk in more depth. I highly recommend Sara’s research! www.cambridge.org/core/element...

The American National Election Study is an NSF funded publicly available, incredibly rich dataset that tracks American public opinion, vote choice and evaluations of government that has been in the field since 1948. It is an incredible resource for teaching and research and must be protected.

First day of class, new mantra: You have to learn how to use AI, but you can’t use AI to learn.

Excited to share my latest research: Why do congressional staff leave?It’s not just about money. I find that staffers’ exit intention (desire to quit) and actual exit are strongly impacted by the extent to which polarization impacts their job satisfaction. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Really proud of this collection -- a set of outstanding essays that challenge and expand our understanding of descriptive represention, including a concluding piece by Mansbridge herself. Please read and share! polisky gendersky
