If you’re interested in why some autocrats stay popular or why ruling monarchs are so durable in today’s world, this book is for you!

#APSA2024

Love you Glasgow but I need a break from this weather. Fortunately I'm off to #APSA24 in two days. If you see me walking about in a sundress rather than business dress, please understand that 2 weeks in Philly will be about as close as I've got to summer this year 🙃

I reviewed the late Keith Weghorst's book. It's an exceptional contribution to the study of opp politics and a real testament to his love for Tanzania and his care for making sure his work did its complexities justice. Keith was a great scholar and an even better colleague and friend to many of us

I was giving a lecture

Looking for new work published on Tanzania over the last year or so for my syllabus. Recommendations, self promotion welcome :)
