There is a broad emphasis on democracy, but we are eager for applicants working at the intersection of IR/IPE and domestic politics (e.g., the politics of deindustrialization and decarbonization, the economic drivers of populism, and so on). Deadline is 10/1. Feel free to reach out with questions!

New research using African public opinion finds citizens support foreign aid conditions when they distrust their government & trust the donor. These findings reshape our understanding of accountability relations in global governance.

We also find through an original survey in Kenya that individuals are highly knowledgable about the types of requirements different donors attach to aid. This challenges assumptions we tend to make in IR about individuals' rational ignorance on foreign policy issues.

We argue and show that Africans are more accepting of aid requirements when they distrust their government but trust the donor. In such cases, donor requirements are a welcome form of external accountability on the government.

Unquestionably the most dangerous and corrupt attack on the independence of US economic data in American history. Trump is firing the head of the BLS, a longtime civil servant confirmed 86-8 by the Senate, simply because the job numbers came in below his expectations today

I gotta say I find a lot of AI discourse around higher ed very confusing. "if ChatGPT can write your essays is college even worth it?" did people think math teachers were assigning problem sets because *they* couldn't figure out the answers?

If I had to sum up what I’ve learned from analyzing mountains of election data—and what Mamdani’s campaign exemplified perfectly—it’s this:

Stop moderating. Start energizing.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

How much of this romanticizing of factory jobs is really just nostalgia for a white and male breadwinner world of the past?

The dumbest thing about Trump's desire to manufacture dolls in the US is that many of the jobs would be bad ones: Connecting plastic body parts to torsos, attaching nylon hair, etc.

I talked to toy industry people who laid this all out. Striking stuff:

I have a request for you all as we celebrate @slangsonsports.bsky.social's birthday: Tell one person in your life today what makes them special to you. Be specific.

Then report back here and tell us how it felt. We can all make a better effort at this, together. open.substack.com/pub/lindseya...
Birthdays Are Important
Twice a day for two years, Sarah Langs drank a bitter, brown sludge-like concoction that she called “her potion” in the hopes that it would extend her life by at least a few weeks.
