In São Paulo, I presented what I call “the Latin American paradox”
Why is it that Latin Americans are actually quite supportive of gender equality, and yet we see high femicides?
My answer: a weak state, drug wars & conflict give rise to generalized violence

One of my best students just had his funding offer for a PhD in the US withdrawn. Meanwhile we've had a massive surge in applications to our program from really strong US and international students. It feels like a shift is already underway.

A quick thread of charts showing how Trump’s economic agenda is going so far:
1) US consumers are reacting very very negatively.
These are the worst ratings for any US government’s economic policy since records began.

Trump's tariff formula confounds the world, punishes the poor
Ridiculed for imposing trade tariffs on frozen islands largely inhabited by penguins, Donald Trump's formula for calculating those levies has a serious side: it is also hitting some of the world's poorest nations hardest.

A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.
