A huge thank you to @kcoe.bsky.social for three years of dedicated service to our section! Your leadership and commitment made a big difference 🙌!
Last night's APSA @polcomm.bsky.social business meeting concluded my 3-year stint in the section leadership. I enjoyed the work (mostly!) and getting to know a lot of talented scholars. And, like many others, I've come to believe that the annual preconference is the best day on the Pol Com calendar.
