Today is Canada's Day of Truth and Reconciliation. It is not a day to celebrate. It is a day to listen. A day to recognize the costs of colonialism and capitalism.

The link goes to a different article about teaching using AI. That said, the opinion piece is just as dumb.

In contrast, Rogers is a terribly flawed candidate who seems to make major gaffes every week.

I looked at his Google Scholar page...it's pretty wild. He published his stuff on SSRN. I have a few things there that are interesting but not worthy of peer review. However, he has hundreds of "publications" there. Prior to 2026, he had a fairly conventional publishing record.

I didn't have access to the article. It's kind of strange that you would go out of your way to publish that much material. I can't be very good.

Who reviews this output? I am an associate editor for a top journal in my discipline, and I struggle to find reviewers for high-quality manuscripts. Somebody cranking out multiple papers a week is producing garbage.

The idea that Latino voters were experiencing a long-term realignment toward Trump in 2024, which was put forth by many reactionary pundits urging acquiescence to the Trump regime, turns out to be false. As some of us argued at the time, they are just very reactive to national conditions.

To spread the word about the release of my book, @brisunipress.bsky.social are offering 50% off the paperback, making it a very reasonable £15. I have 20 discount codes to DM to the first people to share this post. Or read open access at: bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/democracy-pa...
The image shows the cover of the book on the right, with a text description of the book and two testimonials on the left on a white background. Under the description are details of the launch offer in white text on a red background.

The book cover consists of a dark blue square panel in the top half with the title of the book, “Democracy, Participation and Public Administration: A Systems Approach” in white text, and the author name, “Rikki Dean” in white text. The dark blue panel is semi-transparent and overlaid onto the Kandinsky painting “A Delicate Tension”, which fills the entire cover. In the bottom right corner is the Bristol University Press Logo, a capital B in a black circle.

The description of the text reads, “The democratic state is unravelling. Authoritarians exploit its deficits to disguise attacks on democracy as democratic renewal, while Silicon Valley searches for ways to replace public service with private technology. Countering these threats to democratic governance requires thinking administratively about democracy and democratically about administration.

This book develops a novel democratic systems theory that puts public administration at the heart of democracy. The new approach is then applied to the project of democratic innovation, exploring the potential of public participation and digital technologies to democratise the administrative state. It is essential reading for defending democracy in an age of resurgent authoritarianism, providing both theoretical innovation and practical pathways towards a more democratic future.”

Adding the testomonials exceeds the maximum length of the alt text box, but they can be machine read on the book website: https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/democracy-participation-and-public-administration.

The details of the launch offer, are “50% off paperback price for first 20 reposters. Or read online / download open access”
