🚨 New book alert! Policy Preparation Inside the European Commission is out with OUP @oxfordacademic.bsky.social It’s about the behind-the-scenes stage of EU policymaking that shapes everything—yet rarely gets the spotlight: how the Commission prepares its proposals. Link: doi.org/10.1093/9780...

What are your favorite papers that make descriptive claims (as opposed to causal claims)? I'm thinking of papers in the spirit of Gerring's "Mere Description." www.cambridge.org/core/journal... I put a couple of examples below. What else do you like?

New paper with @halling.bsky.social ✔️ Policymakers more tolerant of administrative burden when provided with justification. ✔️ Justifications more effectual amongst right-wing politicians. ✔️ More tolerated when justified to protect budgets. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Two new pieces of open access research on administrative burden in Public Administration Review. First, with @martinbaekgaard.bsky.social & @halling.bsky.social: we develop a measure to capture why some people tolerate administrative burdens. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Our research on Need for Chaos was focused on how some voters wanted to watch the world burn: www.cambridge.org/core/journal... With DOGE it now seems to be official government strategy from Trump & Musk But the goal seems the same: Burning down existing structures for selfish status gain

🧵 My paper "Taxing Language: Do Interpreting Fees Affect Immigrant Healthcare Usage? Evidence From a Regression Discontinuity Design" is now out in @pareview.bsky.social . I began this project during the first year of my PhD six years ago, so it feels especially good to finally share it.

National Institute of Justice has pulled funding. At what point do the national media start treating this as an assault of federally funded research across the board, or at least, funding is reserved only for politically approved topics?

Hi! I am looking for examples on how to best integrate LLMs/ChatGPT into teaching in the social sciences. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to best do this? This could be exercises or things that worked well in their own teaching.

(1/7) 📢 New research alert! Even when people are shown clear evidence of #discrimination, it doesn‘t change their support for anti-discrimination policies. Read @kkrakows.bsky.social, @asmusletholsen.bsky.social, and my article in @ajpseditor.bsky.social to find out why: doi.org/10.1111/ajps...

I highly recommend anyone interested in administrative burdens read this new PPMG article by Pierre-Marc Daigneault. It makes a strong case for adopting a new conceptualization of the concept. I agree with most of his points and hope this new way of thinking about burdens gains momentum.

Interested in gender issues & PA? @pamherd.bsky.social & @donmoyn.bsky.social note administrative burdens: 1) Regulate reproductive bodies 2) Require & 3) Restrict reproductive labor 4) Regulate gendered identities #4 offers a starting point to tackle the anti-trans agenda doi.org/10.1093/jopa...
