After years of doubt, drafts, and disbelief, my first—and likely last—book is finally out. It’s about how entertainment shapes American politics. If you preorder (a.co/d/ctGUWkZ), I’d love to send a small token of thanks: forms.gle/1YrkYX2t2nPC...

At a time when American global engagement is shrinking, I think it's worth considering the direct good that our foreign assistance has contributed. I wrote about this for @goodauth.bsky.social

#polisky

Effective foreign assistance can build a safer, more trusting world.

Here’s what we learned about pro-democracy efforts in Zimbabwe.

In @apsrjournal.bsky.social, a series of survey experiments by Eric Groenendyk, Yanna Krupnikov, John Barry Ryan, and Elizabeth C. Connors suggests that those averse to conflict are less likely to respond to surveys labeled as “political.”

This was a LONG time coming. A fun project with a great team. Great to see it out.

Emily Hu @xehu.bsky.social · Feb 19

Our paper is out today in @pnas.org! 🎉 In a large-scale experiment on a YouTube-like platform, we find that giving people politically “slanted” video recs doesn’t shift beliefs or viewing behaviors.

In other words, online filter bubbles may not be as polarizing as we think…

How do parents and non-parents decide how children ought to be raised? In a new paper w/Allison Anoll & Mackenzie Israel-Trummel, we argue social movements–like Black Lives Matter–can shape these choices, unpacking the often black-boxed step in child socialization.

I am thrilled to announce that I will be joining the faculty at Stony Brook University this fall! I’ve spent 15 wonderful years at the University of Memphis, and I’ll certainly miss all my friends, colleagues, and the city of Memphis. My family and I look forward to this next stage in our life.

The American National Elections Studies (ANES), now 75, has interviewed the US electorate before and after every presidential election since 1948. We asked PI Nicholas Valentino what we’ve learned from it, and where we’d be without it: cpsblog.isr.umich.edu?p=3213 @umisrcps polisky polisci

Nicholas Valentino: "One of the early discoveries of the founders of the ANES was that psychological attachments to parties themselves are group identities.

Party identification is the core predisposition shaping political beliefs and behaviors. In other words, it may be that votes are driven most strongly by those partisan identities rather than a citizen’s individual preferences on a bundle of policies.

That discovery can have a very scary set of implications."
