New paper out in @thejop.bsky.social : "Immigration, Public Housing, and Support for the French National Front." How does expanding public housing affect far-right support? The answer depends heavily on local conditions, and specifically on local immigrant shares. Paper: doi.org/10.1086/736361

Now more than ever we encounter each other's emotions about politics, on social media and in the news. When do we take strangers' emotional expression seriously, and when do we dismiss it as inappropriate or even insincere? You can find out now in our Cambridge Element!

Do you need to measure precise preferences for visual outcomes with very little survey space? Markus Prior, Justin Curl, and I have some solutions for you! Now officially published in @polanalysis.bsky.social doi.org/10.1017/pan....

ICYMI my solo article on MENA identity. When MENA Americans aren’t given a “MENA” option on forms, they answer identity-related questions on politics more strongly (eg higher end of the scale) than if“MENA” had been added. Having the group label or not changes the average response!

New paper out in Ecological Economics with @gonzalezrostani.bsky.social and @aklin.bsky.social! We look at how long-term labor market risk from automation shapes people's environmental attitudes and climate policy preferences 🧵

My book - “Purges” - has a release date (August 15) and a front cover. I started work on this as my PhD dissertation at the end of 2017 - excited for it to finally be coming out! www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501...

We’re so excited to read your great experimental work!

⏳One month left to nominate papers for APSA's Experimental Research Section’s Best Paper Award! We’re excited to read creative experimental work tackling big political questions. Self-nominations welcome (and discussants, please nominate your panelists)!

The sky is not falling; high-quality platforms (Prolific, Verasight, CR Connect) have low rates of apparent bots. osf.io/preprints/ps... But also not zero; vigilance is very much needed!

New paper out today suggests sea level rise may be substantially worse than we thought due to underestimates in models. What do all you slr modelers out there think of this paper??? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I wrote something. I hope it can be the start of more conversations about AI and the choices we all have to make. erincikanek.com/the-rumors-o...

Very excited to see this out at @bjpols.bsky.social! In this article, I show that contemporary political news coverage makes it challenging for readers to learn information that is helpful for democratic accountability, even for very politically engaged audiences. A brief summary:

This Saturday (Jan 31) at 2:00 pm EST, see @smettler.bsky.social, co-author of Rural Versus Urban, give a lecture as part of the National Writers Series! She will discuss her book and how the urban-rural divide drives partisan polarization. Get tickets for this hybrid event here: buff.ly/2QZ3VnT

Ahem. Political science is the *best* science. In all seriousness: Political scientists use the scientific method. And it's not like the political world is mystical/made-up. Assuming a closed physical universe, human behavior has some explanation - it's just hard to identify.* *In all senses

Currently in FirstView: In “Meaning Beyond Numbers: Introducing the Plot Staircase to Measure Graphical Preferences,” @talbotmandrews.bsky.social, Justin Curl, and Markus Prior examine how visual characteristics influence preferences. They find that people prefer increasing trends.

www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol... @hollyjeanbuck.bsky.social, @davidho.bsky.social and I were interviewed by @rollingstone.com about the Trump admin and Climate Intervention research. Compared to initial hopes/worries, Trump admin has shown zero interest to support any kind of climate research.

How common are “survey professionals” - people who take dozens of online surveys for pay - across online panels, and do they harm data quality? Our paper, FirstView at @politicalanalysis.bsky.social, tackles this question using browsing data from three U.S. samples (Facebook, YouGov, and Lucid):

🌍🚨 We cannot solve the climate crisis without demand-side solutions! The @ipcc.bsky.social is crystal clear: changing what we demand and how we live could reduce global emissions by 40–70% by 2050. This is not a marginal add-on. It must be at the heart of climate policy🧵 www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/w...

BAM! From my colleague @joshettinger.bsky.social: I hope our research encourages policy officials to be braver and pursue more ambitious climate policies. They have more public support than they may realise.”

Notre Dame is investing in democracy research in lots of exciting ways, including these hires. Happy to talk to senior folks about working at Notre Dame and living in South Bend. (Spoiler: There are lots of good reasons I've spent my entire career here).

More climate disaster won't necessarily lead to more climate change mitigation support. In our newest paper, we find people closest to the fires in the 2021-2022 fire season prioritized local adaptive action, rather than mitigation. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

New article thinking about the interplay between identity and solidarity among people of color. How stable is each orientation in a national sample? How much does each feed into each other over time, if at all? Do things look similar or different across PoC? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
