I’m amazed by the quality of the feedback we’ve received from the reviewers of our book with @bertous.bsky.social. I don’t think we talk about this enough in academia, but we should recognize and celebrate those who genuinely engage with the work (it takes time, energy and ability). 💜

A democracy isn’t (just) an electoral system. It’s also a culture of deliberation, debate, sensitivity to public concern, attention to social movements and community leaders, respect for civil rights and minority interests, free expression and association and due process. How’s your country doing?
