Here's a simple idea for seeing your way through the current 'AI in academic papers' panic. If you are the author on a paper, you're not claiming you did everything in the paper yourself (whatever that could even mean), you're taking responsibility for everything claimed in the paper yourself.

My new paper with Margarita Zavadskaya is out in @poppublicsphere.bsky.social! Since 2022, the Kremlin has turned pseudo fact checking into a key propaganda strategy. But how does it affect citizens? We run an experiment to answer this Q (10/): doi.org/10.1017/S153...

Reading the news from #Iran. Grim. What autocracies can do to protesters, especially after cutting the internet, terrifies me about the future in Iran and far far beyond. Other tyrants are watching, learning, and will do the same if it suits them

If you are interested in Political Comms in autocracies: New piece by Nikita Khokhlov and Alexander Baturo: elites simplify speech in protest-prone, low-support regions—often richer & more educated—and dial complexity down when contexts shift. Clear communicators are likelier to be promoted.

🚨⚖️🔍 New paper in Journal of Genocide Research with @denisakost.bsky.social & Timothy Waters we studied secrecy in Serbia’s war crimes trials. 📑Corpus of 164 judgements (1999–2019). Tried OCR+quant methods, but chaotic redactions made it impossible. So we wrote a descriptive, mixed-methods paper

Mearsheimer's logic on great power war “makes sense” in a vacuum — a clean theory built in safe offices. But it erases people. Russia is not just a state actor; it's a repressive system. Who is this power for? IR theory that ignores domestic politics explains everything and nothing.

📊 Are domestic war crimes trials biased? We use Text as Data methods, using LIWC to look at judicial decisions from Serbia (1999–2019). We find conflict actor bias—paramilitary crimes are described in longer, more graphic detail, while state actors' crimes receive shorter, more neutral accounts.
