Heading to #ICA25. This year I'm presenting a regular paper, a poster, plus organizing a BlueSky session. (All with amazing collaborators) Academic conferences can be quite boring. I like to do things differently. This time, my coauthor and I turned our poster into an interactive game.

As always, I enjoyed @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social 's brilliant video essay "There Is a Liberal Answer to Elon Musk." Besides his deep analysis of American politics, I noticed how he mentioned China – he did not want America to be China, but he wanted the American government to build things like China.

This is what I wrote in the recent issue of the CJRN (Chinese Journalism Research Network) newsletter: "Our experiences, once considered peripheral by Western academia, are increasingly relevant to global scholarly discourse." eepurl.com/i48Iss
