Brown University accepted nearly equal numbers of male and female students, but got almost twice as many female applicants. That math meant it was easier for men to get in. Trump's DEI ban may end gender balancing efforts that often benefit men.

The Trump administration’s ban on diversity, equity and inclusion also targets gender. The ban may impact gender balancing practices that often benefit college men.

Extremely grateful to all the friends, advisors, mentors, and colleagues who have helped me during this #jobmarket season. To future grad students, build your own #Avengers team - not just in your uni / subfield. It's not the Avengers if they're all from the same world 😉

Newly updated version w/ @YusakuHoriuchi: Americans rely heavily on prior beliefs when interpreting the Gaza conflict. Belligerent religion shapes sympathy toward groups in conflict, and sympathy for one side often coincides with resentment toward the other.
Proud of this new working paper with Yusaku Horiuchi (@YusakuHoriuchi, Dartmouth) and Daniel Corstange (Columbia) on the current conflict in Gaza! --- "Unraveling American Sympathies toward Israelis and Palestinians." link:

Really proud of our new article in @apsrjournal! @nicoravanilla @MatthewJNanes What does citizen contact do to police attitudes in conflict settings? For those interested in bureaucrats, embeddedness, conflict, mix-methods (field experiment + inductive): https://t.co/aNfMVsb9D0

Such a deeply important paper. I know that just because someone *can* game the system doesn’t mean they *will* game the system—but this paper makes clear that it can be gamed really well, and in a way that we are not yet prepared for 😬
AI presents a fundamental threat to our ability to use polls to assess public opinion. Bad actors who are able to infiltrate panels can flip close election polls for less than the cost of a Starbucks coffee. Models will also infer and confirm hypotheses in experiments. Current

Happy to share that my paper, “Foreign Policy Appointments”, is now online @IntOrgJournal! How do leaders select their top-level foreign policy appointees? I develop a formal model analyzing the tradeoffs involved, and present some descriptive cross-national empirics Short 🧵

I'll be presenting this at Peace Science today! Last panel of the conference :) @YusakuHoriuchi , @eunajo_ , @KellyMatush
Democracy isn’t just a value—it’s national security. New WP with @YusakuHoriuchi, @KellyMatush & @eunajo_ finds across 4 of US’s closest partners (UK, Canada, Australia, NZ), backsliding reduces public support for intel. sharing—even with the US. 📄

Excited to see our paper “Race, Responsiveness, and Representation in U.S. Lawmaking” online in the @apsrjournal. We investigate representation in the US Congress and show large racial disparities in responsiveness depending on government control.

I think a lot about how quant & qual methods relate/differ. At its best, qual research feels like shining a huge light inside the black box that quant folks often ignore. At its worst, qual feels like a scatterplot for which the researcher gets to choose which dots to show.
