I’m putting together my list of authors to interview for #polisci#newbooksnetwork this semester. @politicalscience, have you published a new or new-ish book in IR/CP (very broadly conceived)? Have you read a recent book in those fields that you liked? Please let me know!!
If you're teaching an intro to International Relations #polisci, consider assingning the chapter on space #law in Kelly and @ZachWeinersmith 's A City on Mars. It's a remarkably accessible discussion of how international law is developed and works.
On today's episode of #NewBooks #PoliSci : Wendy Hesford explains how the figure of the child-in-peril informs debates about border crossers, Malala Yousafzai, African child soldiers, the criminalization of Black children, and transgender rights. Her book couldn't be more timely.
One thing that bugs me is when I see party/leader opinion polls ignore “unsure” or “none of the above” responses. Doing this gives the wrong impression about a party’s genuine popularity.
I might start blogging specifically about null results in Canadian opinion polls because the standard way of presenting data among polling companies biases perceptions about leadership and opposition popularity, leading to nonsense like “strategic voting” and incumbent bias. #cdnpoli#canpoli#PoliSci
Coming up this fall on #NewBooksNetwork#PoliSci: I am looking forward to podcast episodes with these brilliant authors about their exciting new books! 🎙️📚
Doing a bibliometric study of political science, history, economics and looking for journals that have been relatively central to English-language scholarship over a long print run. Need to have a few that were central early on (1930-1950). Recommendations? #history#polisci#econ
People share true or false news anticipating positive reactions from like-minded audiences and refrain from sharing to avoid upsetting politically dissimilar audiences
To everyone: whenever you feel imposter syndrome setting in, just remember that racist-ass Samuel Huntington wrote a whole-ass essay AND book saying the Muslims and the Chinese were gonna get us, and that the "Slavic-Orthodox" (???) civilization, which includes Russia and Ukraine, was a coherent entity, bound by primordial loyalties.
I promise, there is nothing you can write that is as stupid, irritating, and harmful as Clash of Civilizations. So, have at it! Be free! Express yourself!
I stumbled across a very good, new article, “The Aptness of Envy” by Jordan Walters, a #PoliSci grad student at #McGill. Walters builds on work of my one-time fellow grad student colleagues and friends Justin D’Arms and Dan Jacobson; he invokes one of my dissertation advisers, my good friend Elizabeth Anderson, and more senior colleagues I have met and read. I found myself in a rich #philosophy discussion, conducted across time, space, and minds. Article at https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ajps.12805

In psychology there are papers that tally what types of samples are most often used in the field (E.g., XX% college students, YY% Mturk etc). Are there any examples of this from your own fields?
Essentially, I'm trying to put some approximate numbers to the different norms in types of sample that I see
New publication. Probably the most accessible academic writing I've done. Featuring interviews and conversations with #Indigenous environmental leaders, like my main man, Clayton Thomas-Muller.
EDIT: it's not open source, but I hear that certain unscrupulous individuals may be willing to send copies, if asked. Can you believe that shameful behaviour smh
