Just realized that a fellowship (highly relevant to my current research) I thought had ceased accepting applications (checked multiple times on their web earlier last year but no info) is actually still around but I missed the deadline. What a start for 2025 :/

Hi #polisky, asking for myself, what would be the ANES equivalent survey(s) in Japan and South Korea?
For Taiwan, I have been using TEDS very often, and I have always been wondering if there are any parallel surveys beyond ABS for further observation.

Regarding the recent legislative aggrandizement attempt in Taiwan where KMT-TPP majority passed bills by force w/o deliberation, the worst thing I saw is that some lawmakers who drove the whole thing are law scholars: they knew how it hurts more than anyone, & they still did it.

One thing I can tell:
Nobody in the pool is either ‘pro-NK’ or ‘pro-China.’ It’s electorally untenable. Maybe more dovish towards NK than Yoon. Maybe more ‘practical’ with China. But definitely no pro-. 2/5

Throughout the years, my presentation slides have degenerated(?) from beamer with lots of fancy pictures and layout to now google slides with minimalist theme that contains no bg photos. I guess I am now more into the meat than I was.
Anyways, I am very glad that I am now Microsoft-free!

Just wrapped up my dictatorship class with a debate on whether voters should value competency or democratic compliance when electing a political leader. They brought up what they've learned and we ended with some interesting interactions. Can't end a course better with this.

This is not my first time to encounter this but I still find it hilarious whenever a university wants to hire someone to teach things beyond the US (IR/CP/Area or Global Studies) but would screen out candidates who require a visa sponsorship.

Just surveyed my class and only 1 out of 29 of them have heard about the martial law declaration in South Korea. Expected but still a bit saddened by how hard political news outside the US could penetrate the American public…

I am doing my dictatorship class in less than 2 hrs and I am amending my original slides on democratic backsliding this week to include what just happened in SK. Though it seems that Yoon is fast-forwarding his demise by doing so, ppl should never take the resilience of democracy for granted!

I recently taught a workshop on how we can develop a sustainable writing practice. This is what a sustainable writing practice looks like, for me.
I wanted to bring this to your attention as today is December 1st, and we all start making plans for the remainder of the month.
