One of my hottest takes is that I favor ideological affirmative action hires in polisci. I just think that means hiring both conservative AND Maoists political theorists, and letting them duke it out. Preferably across campus.

Finally watch The Librarians documentary on PBS. It's wonderful and sad in documenting the hate filled campaign against diversity in libraries.

CU announces awards for faculty who use AI. connections.cu.edu/stories/cu-s...

CU is giving students access to AI. "We write today to let you know that this spring a CU-specific version of ChatGPT EDU, tailored for each CU campus and our system office, will be available free of cost to every enrolled full-time and part-time student..."

We'll open up registration/call for papers later in the Spring, but #CUBoulder will be hosting @priec.bsky.social the first week of November. We're expanding to a day and half event to accommodate the large demand we got last year. Hope to see folks out in the mountains. 🎿 🏔️

How many grad admission slots do other #polisci departments have this cycle? Boulder has managed to keep a class of about 8~ students/year the last decade. I am curious about how other programs are adapting to the changing #psjminfo academic market.

The hills are alive with music 🎶

Since we're in the middle of polisci grad admissions, let me take a moment to tell y'all why Boulder is a solid choice. First - the mountains. There aren't many research universities built right next to the Rockies, and the view never gets boring. Not to mention all the other amenities.

I’ve always recommended to junior scholars to not write a book until after tenure because they don’t accumulate as many cites. My completely data-free advice appears to have empirical backing.

"Texas governor Greg Abbott, a Republican, ordered all state colleges and universities to freeze their applications for new H-1B visas, The Texas Tribune reported. The pause, announced Tuesday afternoon, will last until May 31, 2027..." www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-t...

If you wish harm upon the Dodgers, you are wishing harm upon America.

A big thanks to the @theihs.org for awarding me, Dr. Martinez, Dr. Malloy, and other colleagues at #CUBoulder a $19,500 250th US anniversary grant. We'll be using the funds to promote undergrad civics research in commemoration of the US 250th/Colorado 150th anniversary.

We should replace conference papers with stand up routines. Tell me your best jokes #polisky

When day is dark always remember happy day 🌞

Hot take: We should read articles to judge their merit instead of relying on the journal as a signal.

Some new published research from me (first in a while!). I looked at a century of debates on legislator pay to see how British MPs justified their own salaries. These debates provide a unique window into how Parliamentarians navigated the transition to professional politics. doi.org/10.1093/pa/g...
