I'm honored to be one of the inaugural recipients of Rhodes College's Inclusive Excellence Awards for 2026! Thanks to John Johnson for his leadership, the Inclusive Excellence Council, & all the LGBTQIA+ Working Group members--students, staff, and faculty--who I couldn't do this work without!

Today is election day in TN where we can expect <25% turnout, while our reps in Nashville are starting a special session to gerrymander their way into an all-Republican Congressional delegation with the stamp of approval from SCOTUS, who effectively gutted the VRA last week. Apropos of nothing...

She explains her turn to care ethics, how to distinguish good from bad care, and reframes care as political activity requiring democratic accountability.

Our Oct issue cover #NowOut features artist Kelly Popoff’s “Shame.” Part of her "Americana" series, for Popoff, shame is less about cowering regret than an invitation to do differently next time. See it: www.journals.uchicago.edu/toc/pol/2025... #Polisky #PoliSciResearch @kellypopoff.bsky.social

I’m so stressed about *everything* I’ve taken up a most unusual hobby for me—cooking! And fortunately that means I now have something to contribute to wholesome #poliscicooks content. I present my first attempt at poppyseed roll from Zuza Zak’s Slavic kitchen alchemy! #polisky #enbysalsocook
