Excited to see this collection of articles out in the world! Kaufman-Osborn's "The Autocratic Academy" is a must-read for those working on issues of university governance. TKO reminds us that we have legal mechanisms for creating different kinds of corporate entities...including worker-run co-ops!

My co-authored paper just came out in @pspolisci.bsky.social! It provides the first causal evidence of NIMBYism in American immigration attitudes: Americans tend to oppose any immigrants who are expected to move into their neighborhoods. Both Democrats and Republicans hold this NIMBYism. #polisky
Now on FirstView!

We conduct a conjoint experiment and find that Americans exhibit a substantively small but statistically significant preference against immigrants posited to move into their neighborhood.

Political scientists are active in politics, but primarily in ways that share research findings and tend to avoid visible partisan politics.

A quantitative-forward approach to political science is popular & one that many believe would provide value for students. Djupe and Williams describe such a program that front-loads research methods.
