Huge thanks to our contributors @christinaboyes.bsky.social @hyyppati.bsky.social @mervekeskin.bsky.social Dana Landau, Rachel Schwartz and @meganastewart.bsky.social for reflecting on the fuzzy edges, ordering processes, need to de-centre violence and issues of knowledge production in the field

www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... The roundtable that led to this article was the highlight of ISA Chicago for me. I'm excited to see this in print.

I've never been more nervous and excited about a publication than I am about this one. It's my first published co-authorship with an undergrad (my RA from my last year of grad school.) doi.org/10.1177/2753...

Share how the Journeys in World Politics workshop impacted your career and the field, and sign the appeal letter asking NSF to reconsider the revocation of the workshop's NSF grant! Forms.gle/pwB8bG7AjgJ8FSw98

The NSF grant funding the Journeys in World Politics program was terminated last week. We are working on an appeal. If you are an alumnae of the program, and are willing to join a support letter, please contact @christinaboyes.bsky.social within the next week (our appeal window is short). Thanks!

Alumae: please help us appeal the Journeys termination! Thank you @christinaboyes.bsky.social @sbmitche.bsky.social

Can scientists trace climate losses back to the emissions from individual fossil fuel companies? Yes, we can. The inimitable @ccallahan45.bsky.social and I provide an 'end-to-end' attribution framework that can be applied in many climate accountability contexts: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The termination of Journeys' grant is heartbreaking. This workshop was a huge help for me during the transition from student to faculty, and I connected with talented, amazing scholars who continue to inspire me. I'm crushed that future female scholars won't have the same opportunity.

UK, 2025: a country where police break into a place of worship and arrest those inside who are having a meeting and might be planning a non-violent action. The right to peaceful protest is an essential part of a healthy democracy. Governments who crack down on it are governments to be very wary of.

There is no real limiting principle on the basis the Trump admin is using to justify deportation of legal immigrants.

As reported, the entire staff of 538 was laid off this morning. This is a severe blow to political data journalism, and I feel for my colleagues. Readers note: As we were instructed not to publish any new content, all planned updates to polls data and averages are canceled indefinitely. Huge loss :(
