Rather, migrants return home on average more liberal and socially tolerant than prospective migrants, regardless of where they lived abroad.

This is part of a larger project on Southeast Asia-Middle East connections that I've been working on for several years. Stay tuned!

Using survey data from Indonesia, I show that people self-select into outward migration in part based on social and political preferences that match their likely destination countries.

However, the social and political context of where they live doesn't seem to impact new attitudes. 2/3

Publication day for our long, long awaited article in @apsrjournal.bsky.social on the effects of community policing on police officers' own attitudes about the community!

Dotan Haim @dotanhaim.bsky.social · Mar 12

🧵 Proud to share our new paper in @apsrjournal.bsky.social (open access)!

We used a field experiment to test how contact with citizens shapes POLICE OFFICER attitudes then developed inductive theory about when it works v. backfires.

There's lots of talk about how better bollards in New Orleans could have stopped the terror attack. But as Trevor Bachus and I write, physical barriers alone just shift the nature of political violence; they can't fully prevent it.

There’s a sadistic sense of optimism that comes with starting a new IRB proposal.
Maybe this time things will be different. Maybe past experiences will help me navigate this bizarre and arbitrary process. Hope springs eternal.

At SLU they never respond. They just keep punting to other departments to avoid making a decision. I actually just gave up on a project once because the window for getting it done had closed.

Hey polisky, any recommendations for an academic article or chapter on the 1979 Iranian revolution appropriate for an undergraduate class?

4/4 On a personal note: This is the 4th and final article stemming from my dissertation (alongside my book: doi.org/10.1017/9781...). I'm excited to finally archive that folder and move on to new things!

3/4 increased inclusion of Arab citizens of Israel in the police enhances prospects for intergroup cooperation.

Of note, this project was a long time in the making. Data is from 2008-2015, prior to the current conflict. Still, the results give a glimmer of hope.

1/4 How do members of a majority group respond to inclusion of minorities in the police? In a new article @JPR_journal, I find no evidence that Israeli Jews respond negatively to Arab police. In fact, exposure to Arab police is associated with increased trust in Arabs.

Today, November 28th, I received IRB approval for a form I submitted in May. There were no questions, comments, or concerns, nor any communication in the intervening 6 months. I don't mean to be an alarmist, but I think the system might not be working correctly.
