I plan to organize a yearly REP conference. We have a solid REP faculty (hopefully we can get one more...) and graduate student group. I am generally optimistic about the future for polisci at CU.

I concede cost of living is an issue, but it's comparable to COL in other blue urban areas.

RIP. My desktop can't be updated to Windows 11. It's been with me through some rough times, including several journal rejections. How should I honor it?

After a half decade since the George Floyd protests, I am curious how many psci departments followed up on the commitments they made in their public statements. How many actually diversified their faculty, curriculum, etc.? How many still have public statements up?

@landgravephd.bsky.social, Nicholas R. Jenkins & Aubree J. Hardesty show that voters across parties trust, donate to & support candidates who reject PAC money—penalizing those who accept it. Campaign financing choices clearly shape perceptions.

It's awkward when a co-author leaves academia. I have multiple papers that got 80-90% done before a co-author left the field. Sometimes people cut off all communication, so I'm not even sure how I would get their consent to publish some version of the work.
