Proud that my piece on respectability is officially out at APSR. It’s open access!

APSA's new Grad Student Support Fund had to close this funding cycle after 48 hours, which goes to show how great the need is. Fellow TT/tenured faculty, please donate if you are able. We need bigger structural change, and this is important in the short term. www.apsanet.org/gradstudents...

The Graduate Student Member Support Fund is live! Inspired by mutual aid efforts, the APSA Committee on the Status of Graduate Students committed our whole budget to support political science graduate students in need. You can find the fund here: apsa.secure-platform.com/a/solicitati...
