There's lots of talk about how better bollards in New Orleans could have stopped the terror attack. But as Trevor Bachus and I write, physical barriers alone just shift the nature of political violence; they can't fully prevent it. doi.org/10.1177/0022... (DM for ungated link)

There’s a sadistic sense of optimism that comes with starting a new IRB proposal. Maybe this time things will be different. Maybe past experiences will help me navigate this bizarre and arbitrary process. Hope springs eternal.

1/4 How do members of a majority group respond to inclusion of minorities in the police? In a new article @JPR_journal, I find no evidence that Israeli Jews respond negatively to Arab police. In fact, exposure to Arab police is associated with increased trust in Arabs.

Today, November 28th, I received IRB approval for a form I submitted in May. There were no questions, comments, or concerns, nor any communication in the intervening 6 months. I don't mean to be an alarmist, but I think the system might not be working correctly.

I have some credits with Cambridge University Press to spend. Any suggestions for recent books on policing, immigration, conflict processes, religion and politics, Middle East, or Southeast Asia? Self-promotion welcome! polisky conflictsky

It's page proofs day for the final article from my dissertation research, featuring data collected as a "proof of concept" for my prospectus in 2013. Perseverance pays off!

I know it's easy to get frustrated by the time commitment of letters of rec, but not every student is equally good at advocating for themself, and this "skill" likely correlates with the usual things like gender, SES, etc. A well-executed recommendation provides really important context.
