In June, @MaraRevkin, @JonPetkun, and I wrote for @ForeignAffairs about what a progressive internationalist foreign policy might look like and how restraint and retrenchment are necessary for progressive outcomes in some domains but counterproductive in others.

Grateful to our research partners @IOMSouthSudan for a productive and humbling 2 weeks seeing one of the most severe & complex humanitarian crises in the worldโ€”one that is not getting nearly as much international attention & aid as it needs (a $1.2B funding gap). Thread ... 1/5

Just overwhelmed with gratitude and excitement that I'll get to learn with and from the students, faculty, and staff @DukeLaw. Lemur-hanger-outer @DukeLemurCenter would have been the true dream job but teaching civ pro is a close second!

I went to Iraq and all I did was lose a war and grow a mustache.ย @MaraRevkin's been there for a roughly equivalent amount of time andย she's written a stunningly good job market paper, all while doingย painstaking and important work on behalf of vulnerable refugees. Hire her!

I'm excited to be back @GeorgetownLaw today (and on the 2021-22 law teaching market w/ this paper!), returning from a service leave from academia supporting @UNIraq in Baghdad, but honored to continue that work remotely as I try to put my research on peace-building into practice:

Setting aside the inaccuracy of everything about this, the entire idea of civilian control of the military is that the military should be responsive to something other than itself and that that responsiveness is essential for peaceful democracy.

Super niche #EconTwitter Q, but in Atom/Hydrogen, anyone know how to interactively run a script that requires i/o (e.g. input() in python)? Hydrogen gives me a field for input, but the prompt is displayed in the editor, and the editor is greyed out/locked until I enter the input!
