I am very honored and excited about this appointment — and slightly worried that I may have become mainstream! But I could not dream of a better co-editor and I am thrilled to work with the JoC’s excellent editors-in-chief. 💜

Had a blast discussing illiberal public spheres and political charm at Loughborough University (UK)! And saw my dear former PhD student, Yuval Katz, whom I can now call Professor Katz. 💖

Loved this conference about propaganda research at Columbia, organized by Anya Schiffrin. My favorite type of conference: small, focused on one topic, with amazing researchers.
