Everything happens for a reason you make up afterward. A recovering sociologist from Töölö 🇫🇮 Savolainen in name & ethnicity. #kalakukko
Yup. The only time I received a perfect score from NIH was when co-PI was a grant panel insider. Not sure if just "shady." Seems writing grants is its own genre of literature. You gotta learn to tick all the boxes and pull the levers. Journal reviewers thought our project was pretty worthless.

Come to our panel on Wednesday. Sponsored by @heterodoxacademy.bsky.social , featuring John McDonald.

You should contact Janne Kivivuori to find out more about the teaching program.

Good luck. I hope you'll be seated as far away as possible from that monster 🤭

They have a robust undergrad program of teaching. Intro classes, textbooks created by the faculty, etc. What's translated in English as MA is historically the proper "BA." I graduated from U of H with a "Master's" Degree (VTK), no other undergrad degree. Systems vary, translations difficult.

KRIMO at U of Helsinki is very good. In USA: Cincinnati, ASU, U Pennsylvania. In Canada, Simon Fraser used to be good but hear it's gone downhill. Same with Rutgers. U Nebraska, Omaha?

Those are some choice blurbs! I couldn't think of a better trio, seeing as Dostoevsky is unavailable. Congrats!

Let me guess: We are?

It is. But it has nothing to do with spelling 🇫🇮 😟

As noted, this is a CFP, not an article. The intro to the special issue will substantiate all those claims with evidence. "Bad ideas" refers to the quality of those ideas with respect to empirical evidence; their poor fit with reality.

Again, it doesn't "elevate a conclusion." You keep misrepresenting the language. Definitely not a "productive take" 😏

I concede the issue is not necessarily open to abolitionist contributions. But I would not rule those out. The keyword is "productive:" knowledge about policing that supports the mission of public safety. If no policing is the best policing, I'm open to reviewing the evidence.
