New study shows that — contra widely accepted narratives — there is NO EVIDENCE that professors change their students’ politics and make them more liberal through their teaching

Just so everyone knows, the Solicitor General straight up lied about the 1921 law review article he kept talking about. quick thread:

This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation. I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment. This summary is just fantastic.

Same as it ever was. Robert Goldstein, BlackRock COO, on hiring recent grads: “We have more and more conviction that we need people who majored in history, in English, and things that have nothing to do with finance or technology.” Why? Critical and creative thinking, comms skills, and more.

I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to return home to the place that gave me my start, and deeply honored and privileged to join the excellent faculty of Politics and Government to work together to serve students & continue the department’s trajectory of success and progress

Now, this summer, I return to the Department of Politics and Government at Illinois State as a University Professor and Chair of Politics and Government.

It is no exaggeration that my subsequent path and all the many wonderful opportunities I have had - including the honor & privilege of 13 years as the Herman Brown Chair and Professor of Political Science at TCU - were made possible by Illinois State’s initial investment in me.

James Scott @jmscott.bsky.social · 31/07/2024

The Department Chair - Tom Eimermann - shepherded and mentored me for two years, during which time I learned to be a member of a department and made progress as a scholar and a teacher.

As Zelensky visits DC, my first post for @goodauth.bsky.social is a deep dive into foreign policy and the 2024 election. Featuring a ton of new polisky research since I last looked at this in 2016, and the super dead King Louis’ head from Hamilton. goodauthority.org/news/will-fo...

Deep dive: Will foreign policy matter in the 2024 election? Spoiler alert: no. But that’s not the real story.
