I could not be any more excited about the slate of final presentations for my Sociology of Reality TV class.

God, I love that guy.

Amazingly helpful syllabus tracing the political construction of neoliberalism from @zeithistoriker

Harsh but true

AI is so amazing.

Essential reading from Tim Sahay & Bentley Allan of the Net Zero Industrial Policy Lab on what a Trump presidency means for the green transition. While the US will likely fall far behind in the race to clean energy, there are many forces that will continue the push towards decarbonization.

Talk about burying the lede--beyond the transition, the bigger issue is Trump's signalling he wants to use the Presidency for his own personal profit and interest. nytimes.com/2024/11/09/us/…

Crony Capitalism.

Good piece from John Burn-Murdoch but the key question is why voters only hear progressive culture messages when Biden was about material results for workers & Harris avoided DEI. I’d say Trump/Rs & media played up exactly those divisions, distorting & radicalizing in the process.

Super important read--particularly for those that think it is simply about Democrats needing to "get the word out" about their better economic policies. Complex cultural dynamics in play, all intersecting with economic polarization.nytimes.com/2024/11/21/opi…

Those pesky pesky details about how Biden was the best President for the working class in decades.

Laia Balcells If only it was that simple.

It has been a long journey. I’m thrilled to announce that I have accepted a tenure-track Assistant Professor position at Cornell Government! So many people from Nebraska, Truman, Forensics, Wisconsin, Georgetown, and LSE have helped me reach this point, and I’m extraordinarily grateful.

Congrats to Dillon Laaker, our former Georgetown SFS Global Political Economy Project predoctoral fellow whose work on the politics of supply chains is amazing!
