One of my big academic rules: only write papers you really care about on topics you really care about. I try to follow this rule 99% of the time. This paper is one of the best examples of that, and I’m stoked it’s one step closer to being in the world. We’ve corrected proofs & you’ll have it soon!

Our revision of the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on political representation is live: plato.stanford.edu/entries/poli.... Suzanne Dovi's original entry introduced me to political representation during graduate school, so working with her on its revision has been especially meaningful.

Skriver om Greta Thunbergs skiftande roll som informell politisk representant på klimatområdet och huruvida det verkligen främst är hon som förändrats. www.dn.se/kultur/elsa-...

Elsa Kugelberg: Vem representerar Greta Thunberg?
Greta Thunberg är ett exempel i en ny bok om informella talespersoner. Ofta är det rätt att bara ignorera en sådan roll, just som Greta gjort.
