Conditionally accepted at the APSR (w/ @scottclifford.bsky.social & @patrickpliu.bsky.social): Why does political information so often change beliefs but NOT attitudes? We highlight the role of belief relevance, or the extent to which beliefs bear on attitudes.

Just finished reading the superb book "The Making of International Status" by @mduque.bsky.social and wrote a short note for @jpeaceresearch.bsky.social about it here: www.prio.org/journals/jpr... Excellent piece of work! By far my favorite IR book so far (although it's far more than IR...) 🙂

🚨Free book alert (for 2 weeks)! In her new CUP Element, @caglayanbaser.bsky.social shows that rebel groups with♀️combatants are seen as more gender-equal, democratic and morally legitimate, even when they perpetrate violence.

Can Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) extract features of urban neighborhoods from street-view images? New with Paige Bollen (OSU) and @joehigton.bsky.social (NYU): Sometimes, but the models better recover national assessments that local ones, even w/additional prompting (which can make things worse!)

Carl is a fantastic researcher & knowing him well as a colleague, he will be an amazing mentor. Plus those look like very good postdoc positions. Please apply.

Difficult to grasp how the crisis of UK universites - largely caused by bad policy and bad management - is not treated as a massive national problem that requires government involvement to help solve the issue. Product of a discourse in which parties don‘t want to be seen as appealing to graduates?
