I love this interview, inspiring, yet difficult to reconcile with reality.
The incentives of our discipline are structured against patience and accountability. Unless we begin rewarding patient, careful (and often slow) work at the junior level, fewer scholars will pursue projects that require it.

I remain convinced that spending at least some time *living* in the places we study has a meaningful impact on our research.
And, I mean living, not canvassing, not interviewing, not extracting, but getting to know the people of the states and societies we study.

Carissa (almost) single-handedly brought back theory-generating papers and changed preconceived assumptions about the linearity of democratization, religion and politics, origins of representative institutions, and so much more.
