A great profile on what's happening at MSU Denver (featuring one of my students). I'm so proud to work here, and I'm thankful to @willsimpkins for his leadership on this issue. red.msudenver.edu/2022/promise-o…

Just a reminder that I am presenting "Religion and Polarization: A Social Identity Theory Approach" (coauthored w/ Kyla Stepp) in today's ReligioninPublic talks at 5pm EST. Sarah K. Dreier will be presenting, too. See you there! Link here: religioninpublic.blog/2022/03/22/rip…

An extraordinarily powerful statement highlighting how (1) many of the classic culture wars issues are rooted in fear and hyperbole, and (2) the culture wars distract from real issues that could improve people's lives.

Retweeting mostly for self reference later.

Does anyone have a good essay topic on Congress for Intro to American Politics? I used to have students research their House rep, but I want to move to something that will require less outside research so they can focus more on writing. Anyone have a good prompt to share?

In a recent article, Kyla Stepp and I make the case that, when we measure polarization well, Americans are polarized on abortion along party and religious lines. Sadly, the next few years are going to prove us right. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

I like to embellish the alt text on my Powerpoints for classes. An alt text in tomorrow's PPT: "Photo: A map of the 1932 election results. FDR wins everything but PA, DE, RI, NH, VT, and ME. I haven't see a "clean sweep" like this since the Broncos Super Bowl 50 playoff run."

Good thought: Let's make the academic job market easier and more inclusive, not harder and more expensive.

As someone who encourages students to get involved in politics for a living, I found this clip inspirational.

The "hypodermic needle" model of media effects might not explain the impact of tv news among adults very well, but anyone who has ever been to the zoo with kids knows that it explains a kid's reaction to seeing ice cream or stuffies in the gift shop perfectly.

Does anybody have a good sense of when ANES 2024 might be available for analysis?

I have a chapter in here with Kyla Stepp on Donald Trump's use of unilateral executive power to fight the culture wars. Can't wait to see it in print! Won't be long now!

I'm proud to have a chapter in this book with such a fantastic set of authors!
