Evening prayers at La Madeleine after a day spent reading French and German letters to Robert Schuman in the Paris archives. Feeling close to my kindred Chicago spirit…we are both a long way from home and praying for peace 🕯️

I am very thankful to the @wzb.bsky.social for graciously providing me with office space for my week in Berlin! It was such a nice reunion with the Transformations of Democracy Unit and other friendly faces. And perfect for seeing autumnal Berlin!

I should mark my calendar because today I somehow successfully completed 6 (!!!!!!) Italian bureaucracy things in one day. Maybe it’s an acquired skill? Boh.

I had a very fun afternoon at the (first annual) pre-APSA tennis tournament organized by Joan and Jenny at MIT! Who knew political scientists are surprisingly sporty and are disproportionately left-handed? The best way to officially kick off the new academic year! #APSA2026

I’ve lived in Milan for the better part of the last 7 years (on and off). I’ve seen just about everything in the city change. What hasn’t changed is La Gelateria della Musica on the outskirts of town being worth a 40 min walk there & back for the best gelato in the world

Buongiorno from the hidden gem that is Sant’Agostino! I’ve made it safely to Milano and already survived a dentist appointment entirely in Italian. My medical vocabulary has really improved over the years! And at this point, these small PhD wins mean the most

I can confirm that JR’s La Caverne de Pont-Neuf is, artistically, very cool. In practice, however, it is physically very hot and offers no respite from this heatwave! 🥵🪨
