Happy to in the @us.theconversation.com with my @prri.org immigration pod mates @willmccorkle.bsky.social and @ekyleromero.bsky.social discussing why Americans still believe public education should be a right for all children regardless of immigration status! theconversation.com/most-america...

Most Americans broadly support public education for undocumented students – regardless of their political affiliation and religion
Some states are trying to challenge a long-held precedent that undocumented children are allowed to attend public school free of charge.

I did not know this: “Soccer” originated in 19th c. England to differentiate association football (soccer) from rugby football (rugger). Fascinating. “Anyone who pretends that soccer is purely an Americanism and football always has been the term used in England is simply incorrect.”

Where does the word ‘soccer’ come from?
While 'soccer' is used to differentiate between two popular sports in America, it originated at a prestigious British university

Ever wonder how vodka usurped whiskey as the most consumed spirit in the U.S.? Read on for a story of immigrants, gender, new advertising techniques, and Cold War cultural politics. time.com/7285018/how-...

So in my spare time when I’m not talking about refugee policy, I talk about (and drink) whiskey. I’m happy to have now turned that pastime into something vaguely academic. Super proud of this op-ed on the history of American identity, global politics, and whiskey. time.com/7269684/why-...

The History Behind Canadian Boycotts of American Whiskey
A global marketplace has shaped the U.S. whiskey industry for a century, even as it brands itself distinctly American.
