Super excited to share my first solo-authored paper! In this paper, I evaluate promote models of voter turnout to better understand the growing racial turnout gap between Black and white voters using mini meta-analysis of 2016 and 2020 datasets.

Interesting poll finding is how much message of the Becerra & Steyer campaigns broke through compared to other Dems. When asked to describe each candidate in one word, Dem voters said:

Becerra: Experienced and career politician
Steyer: Progressive and billionaire
Porter: Smart and mean
Mahan: New/inexperienced and Silicon Valley.
Villaraigosa: Has-been and old.

From @CSULB-@USC-@calpolypomona poll of California voters

NEW in @ScienceAdvances, after 3 years of work with a great team:

We review and meta-analyze 100 immigrant conjoint experiments in 36 countries.

Immigration preferences are surprisingly similar across people and countries, but changing over time and structured by politics.

What I find the most frustrating is that all these old folks have been in office long enough to have mentored at least a dozen people who they SHOULD feel is able to carry on their legacy into the new era but they just cling to power instead.

I got a PhD , and right now I could produce atleast 4 pieces of evidence to prove it at the drop of a hat . Anyone who has a PhD that can’t do that don’t really have a PhD

Just another reminder that the states we see rolling back voting rights today & eliminating Black representation NEVER wanted Black people to have rights to begin with: they were FORCED to do so by federal law. Now that they’re not anymore…it’s right back to their racist ways.

Some will say this happens because too many White people are ahistorical. I think they clearly understand the stakes and realize they can’t win without cheating (again) 🤬🇲🇽

ICYMI my article on MENA identity.

When MENA Americans aren’t given a “MENA” option on forms, they answer identity-related questions on politics more strongly (eg higher end of the scale) than if“MENA” had been added.

Having the group label or not changes the average response!

there's a new comprehensive report out from @YouGovAmerica using CES data to plot trends in partisanship over the past two decades. i've got a piece up today in @goodauth summarizing some key findings. links to both in the reply!

Political Science's academic job market having its worst post-Covid year -- almost 20% fewer jobs than at the same point in the previous cycle (which itself was bad!)

Is academia just a job?

We assigned this paper in our professional development seminar last week and it was quite popular.

My view: I grew up in a working class family and no one I knew considered their job "a calling". I also had a bunch of jobs that felt, well, like jobs.

But the moment I started graduate school I knew I had found something I loved. For the first time in my life, I genuinely loved my job. And it shows--my daughter told me she wants to find a career she loves just as much as me.

[Alex Imas @alexolegimas]

Class is often overlooked as a driver of observed career and wealth disparities. This paper is a pretty incredible study into the role of class in the career progression of academia.

Class has a substantial impact at nearly every stage of the academic pipeline.

Important work.

On a personal note, this tracks with my own experience as a first-gen student. In grad school, I was shocked at the number of peers who had academic parents. They arrived on the first day knowing about the journal publishing system, the importance of conferences for networking, etc.

Never in my entire life have I actually sent an email at 8:00 AM. If you receive an email from me at 8:00 AM you can rest absolutely assured that I schedule sent that mess at like 1:27 in the morning.

Thank you to @EfrenPoliPsy for encouraging me to try meta-analysis and to publish this work!
