As someone educated outside the elite doctoral programs, EITM was huge for me.

If you want to be good enough at finding stuff out (i.e., "research") to be paid to do it, there's no substitute for being around the best of the best and trying to learn from them.

"Tutelary Power and Autocratic Legitimacy: Experimental Evidence from Kazakhstan’s Tutelage" with @mhigashi.bsky.social has been conditionally accepted at the JOP! We examine whether a de fact guardian boosts popular support for a de jure autocratic leader.

As @ykshrt.bsky.social wrote, our paper (with Saki Kuzushima, now on the job market!) on how international law, backed by constitutional principles, can persuade citizens to support political reforms is now out (Open Access). A true pleasure to work with these fantastic colleagues and friends.
