Love it! Polisky Gendersky Academicsky

Saving for a project, looks great

America did a lot of terrible stuff to Dr. King, like jailing and abusing him and trying to get him to kill himself and killing him, but probably nothing so obscene as reinventing him in popular memory as some milquetoast whose primary concern was not hurting white people’s feelings.

Being neutral means you have chosen the side of the oppressor.

That mostly sums it up

International relations scholars. If you have something to say, want to do an explainer, what have you, we are open for guest submissions. www.duckofminerva.com/contribute

I hate it here

I dream of even one of my publications being sniffed by policymakers, let alone forcing policy change on people in power. Ha. Double ha.

Ooh ooh ooh this will be perfect for my Women and Politics class this semester!

Excellent discussion! Polisky Academicsky

Yet another great move by the "pro-life party." Let's put kids back to work for the capitalist machine and remove their education. Child trafficking won't increase at all. Nope.

Uber: we can't make money if we have to follow the law Google: we can't make money if we're not allowed to be a monopoly Nestle: we can't make money without using slave labor OpenAI: we can't make money if we can't steal media: should shoplifters be executed?

My colleagues and I are presenting on Primary Politics on the 18th, if you're around Statesboro, come hear our panel discussion!

"Making Political Science" @gsqjournal.bsky.social is finally out-- and is open access: academic.oup.com/isagsq/artic... I argue for the importance of moving beyond text and the written word in political science research. Let's make things!

My article with Dursun Peksen on Econ Sanctions & Labor Rights is now in print at EJPR!

My colleagues and friends, Maureen Stobb and Joshua Kennedy have a new blog post out in LSE that discusses their innovative work on courts, the first stage of which was recently accepted at APSR! blogs.lse.ac.uk/usappblog/20...

Reading this gem for the first time thanks to a wonderful friend who recommended it. I must insist that you read this.

And that, in turn, is exactly why they are desperately trying to stop it

👀 Check out this excellent article by Eva Bertram in Studies in APD.... In it, she examines the roots of how employment law treats gig workers and independent contractors in choices made by congressional Republicans in the 1940s. 📖 Read it here: www.cambridge.org/co... Polisky

I took 11 days off work. Not just home from the office. No work. No emails. No meetings. Just 11 days of rest, reading, and time with my kids. For the first time in a very long time, I feel zero guilt for giving myself some freedom. More of this in 2024.

I am not an Americanist. I have taught Am Gov many times as a grad student/adjunct. But I was hired as an IR scholar. I'll be teaching Am Gov for the next 2 semesters to large sections of undergrads. In a presidential election year. In the deep South. As a raging leftist feminist. Send liquor.

Our 9th Annual Savannah Traffick Jam is less than a month away! I'll be serving as a guest speaker, talking about my current research on QAnon and child trafficking disinformation. Other great speakers will be there plus excellent resources and a free lunch! Visit thesidc.org to register for free!

Very important. Students ssk me all the time how I deal with the issues I study, especially human trafficking. These are good insights into how to protect yourself.

Love to watch a talented and brilliant woman self-promote! Check out her work!

What a very cool looking book #Academicsky #booksky

This has been a staple in my family since we discovered it in Illinois around 1997.

I need 2023 to go ahead and keep this shit

Ok. Forced migration??? The willful ignorance never ends.

Merry Christmas 🎄 enjoy your loved ones, eat whatever you want, and help the women in your family cook, clean, and wrangle children so they can enjoy today too

Journals should compensate reviewers for their work. Reviewers should have to commit to returning a review within 30 days to be compensated. Reviewing should count toward tenure and promotion. Fixed it.

Tell me again he's an ineffective President. I'm not saying ANYTHING about the issues here or his handling of them. I'm saying if Neustadt was right and the Presidency is about the power of persuasion, I give you a man who convinced a fascist egomaniac not to take revenge on those who came for him

Merry Yule ❤️
