I am looking for a few early-stage PhD students studying migration in Europe (pretty much any topic in poli sci/econ/soc) to present early ideas to interested undergraduates in late July. No travel budget but small cash (~€100) honorarium available + friendly audience!

Dharing my students’ Spring 2024 podcasting project for our class “IR and Popular Culture”: Colgate at the Movies. 🎧

Each picked a movie, researched/analyzed for its history/making-of/political themes/real world impacts, wrote a script and recorded it. 🥳

We're all becoming desensitized. This is how it happens. The former US president is ***threatening another coup if he loses and it's not even news***.

I'll reiterate that I've been a college professor for 16 years, I make my living thinking about college students and interacting with them, and I still don't think about them as much as NYT and Atlantic writers seem to
