If you’re around LSU on Wednesday, come for a talk I’m giving. I’ll be talking about how we use research to fight forced labor in China and the lessons we’ve learned that can be applied to fighting authoritarianism at home and abroad.

What I did today to fight authoritarianism:
My first call out to a university president by name for pre-complying with Trump’s demands instead of standing up.
You can do it too!! Write/call your Alma mater, the school you attend or your children attend, the uni down the road, etc.
