I preach on the dangers of this in every class I take - not the inclusive approach now forced on these clubs, but on the desire of too many Georgetown students to sell their souls for management consulting gigs.

Calling scholars of norm entrepreneurship... sounds like a pretty clear case study in our own world.
I'm putting together a new workshop that is less about the nuts and bolts of alternative grading and more about how to make the case for alternative grading to administrators, parents, students themselves, etc. What do you think? This is really the focus of my new book.

How do polisky professors think about talking about DEIA questions when it comes to policy models/theories/etc.? Particularly in classrooms that may be politically divided. sotlsky

I just read about the FAFSA delays in @insidehighered.bsky.social and @chronicle.com this AM. Thinking about this in the context of how (elite) universities are gatekeepers into the IR/foreign policy world and the need for real DEI at earlier ages, this is just bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.
The news today about FAFSA is going to require cultural, rather than operational, management approaches.

Too many of us faculty know what this kind of loss is like. And how we're not equipped to help our students appropriately cope, much less cope ourselves.

That confederate monument in Arlington National Cemetery was the most offensive of anything I saw in the extensive review we did as commissioners of the Renaming Commission. Flat out celebration of slavery and armed rebellion against the U.S. government.

Entering grades for #GOVT1600 always makes me a bit sad. Sometimes I get perked up to see someone get a grade that's good and it makes me happy because I've seen their progress, but more often it feels like that's the only thing they'll take away from the class - a letter, not insights. #sotlsky

Just started Julian Gewirtz’s new book on China in the 80s and it reminds me that the CCP has always been a party focused on history and the writing thereof. Interesting to think about it through a constructivist lens.

Breaking News: Senator Tommy Tuberville, Republican of Alabama, announced that he would lift his blockade of nearly all the military promotions he had delayed for months in protest of a Pentagon policy ensuring abortion access for service members.
Tuberville Says He Will Drop Military Promotion Blockade
