As I sit here from my vantage in Providence, Rhode Island, my favourite walk is over a bridge that was twice rebuilt. First to displace thousands of immigrants from Cabo Verde to build a highway, and then to build a pedestrian bridge for folks like me to enjoy.

The only thing I might add is that these issues will only become more salient in high-income countries, too. The UK is poorer today than it was in 2007 and early returns suggest the US might go the same way.

Without disclosing the university, I know of one that is planning on removing 15% of all full time employees through letting adjuncts and visitings go and not hiring to replace people retiring.

Yo, JMCs I have an idea for how to share new research while social media fragments.. In Nov/ Dec, I'll do weekly Substacks on new JMPs on gender. If you'd like me to discuss your JMP, do share. This would only be a nice, supportive discussion. 😊 draliceevans.substack.com

What is the value added of local democracy? Fascinating paper on a natural experiment in India: Local democracy aligns spending more closely with citizen preferences, but these gains accrue more to advantaged groups. documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/0...

lol I didn't realise that this was part of the larger Discourse™️ -- had just signed-up for bluesky and hadn't been on twitter for weeks and yours was one of the first posts I saw here. I am now (unfortunately) caught up.

Curious what the disincentives are. Is it the incentive to be "novel"? My narrow view of (my corner of) political science is that there are incentives to borrow from other disciplines and demonstrate theoretical breadth with new applications.
