Are you an ABD needing help with your project? Interested in immigration, autocratization, & religion? Want to spend 2 weeks thinking deeply about interdisciplinary work? This summer school is for you. I'll be one of the instructors helping your think big and rigorously :-) More info below! (1/2)

I assign this piece :-) (or early versions of Ruhs and Baubock)

I read your piece as arguing that humanitarian/liberal ethics guide pro-im. advocacy and that communitarian ethics do not. To me the question is: can you study immigration without explicitly stating your ethical starting point (ESP)? If your answer is "No," then how would define your own ESP?

Hi @anagantman.bsky.social ! I read this piece with much interest! The paper mentions that the first 2 rounds involved "unfair" offers. Do you think your results would hold if you had a unC treatment condition with fair offers?

For anyone working toward this dreaded Jan 13th ERC deadline: nearly there!

Cool network data that does not involve railroads :-)
Can state-building disrupt rather than stabilize society? Thrilled to have a new article in @apsrjournal.bsky.social w/ @mikealbertus.bsky.social showing that the expansion of state communication networks spurred rebellion for decades in France before the Revolution.

Anyone saw what Andy Hall did with Claude (on X)? Very cool!
Looks like AI can:
1) become the (neutral) replication police (replicates prior results + runs a subset of low-hanging fruit extensions including out of sample rep)
2) encourage theory and design innovation in surveys

Count me in!

"Communautarisme" back then used to implicitly mean "anglo multiculturalism." Now it seems to mean "non-French" , a form of inclusion/exclusion rhetoric that smells far right IMHO, especially when mentioned alongside accusation of "islamisme".

This word has always been hard to pin down. In the 90s and 00s, it was used to describe ethnic enclaves like the ones that could be found in London and sometimes the return of a religious identity among second-gen Muslims (1/2)

In France, even public media is using the words of the Far Right to describe any position that recognizes that French Muslims share a community of interest ("communautarism" "Islamogauchism"). To hear these words used by a journalist paid by public funds is shocking.

I just experienced the academic equivalent of Beyonce emailing me for feedback following the recommendation of Lauryn Hill and mistakingly sharing with me the demo of a new song by Rosalia 😂. Merry Xmas to me!

Interesting post about higher ed. There is a CP PhD thesis that needs to be written on higher ed politics and reliance on foreign students.
Not exactly a Xmas merrymaking post, but I wrote something on the changing environment for international academics in the Netherlands and how it has changed over the last 10 years: open.substack.com/pub/alexandr...

For those who study French History and/or conflict, another public good by the amazing @victorgayeco.bsky.social
There is growing interest in HPE about social conflict in the run-up to the French Revolution.

In a new article at Data & Corpus, I describe the Jean Nicolas Database, a database of 8,516 rebellions in France (1661-1789)

Revolutions matter!
One of the big puzzles in history is why the first demographic transition began in France, as early as 1789.

With Paula Gobbi and Marc Goñi, we show that a key driver was the French Revolution and its inheritance reforms.

Now forthcoming at JPE 👉 www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

Based on your diagnosis, what should be done in terms of training, publication incentives, tenure incentives to turn the ship?
December 3, 2025 at 11:10 AM
@giacomolem.bsky.social one step closer to having the debate ;-)
This is an impressive project. My reaction to what it shows though is that survey experiments have gotten out of hand in polisci. I will blog more on this, but I do not think survey experiments are emblematic of the credibility revolution. Some are already interpreting as such, which is a problem.
New paper! @william-dinneen.bsky.social @guygrossman.bsky.social Yiqing Xu and I use GPT to code 91k articles from 174 polisci journals (2003–2023)and track research designs, transparency practices, and citations. How has the credibility revolution reshaped the discipline? doi.org/10.31235/osf...

Fine "encourage" . I meant it as "here is a piece of infrastructure that helps us collectively do good research" I have become a big-fan of PAPs *for experiments* and wish I treated my code better. But point taken: the experience of research as "we are in this together" is not a journal.
December 1, 2025 at 7:40 AM
👍, a reviewer is a food critic, not a health &safety cop inspector. Once I asked for the code & my main thought was "they are a much better coder than me, I have no clue how this connects to the main text". Maybe requiring comments to code would help? (would improve how analysis is described too?)
December 1, 2025 at 7:28 AM
@benansell.bsky.social just to make sure I follow: 1) replication and publishing them good but 2) "you are a bad person" replication bad? [this is just a two finger question :-)]

I personally wish we were having a debate on survey experiments...
