Very pleased to see our paper in @journalqd. We think this is the most detailed picture to date of digital spending in US elections. I hope scholars will find out data helpful in their own work too.

New by @AdamSheingate, Scharf and Delahanty: "Digital Advertising in U.S. Federal Elections, 2004-2020."

Using supervised ML on FEC data, the authors document the growth of digital spending in U.S. federal campaigns and persistent partisan gaps. 🧵

New @AgHistorySoc issue arrived w/the forum I put together, "Revisiting the 'Iron Triangle' of Agricultural History." I think it turned out really well! Thanks to @AdamSheingate, Sarah Phillips, @B_Classic, @ProfSecchi, Bill Winders and Anne Effland, and editor Bert Way.

James C. Scott’s Seminar in Agrarian Studies was a formative experience for me as a grad student. He rightly remembered as an influential scholar, but he was also a builder of intellectual community.

𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗖. 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝘁𝘁 passed away on July 19. He was a political scientist and specialist in Southeast Asia. He was a dissident within Political Science. Yet his books opened up lines of research on central issues, such as the exercise of power and resistance to power.👇

Sven was also a keen analyst of fiscal policy (eg., the hugely influential Taxation and Democracy) and health policy (especially his 1995 article, "Its the Institutions, Stupid"). Sven showed us why studying public policy is essential to understanding politics.

[Adam Sheingate @AdamSheingate]

Saddened by the passing of mentor and friend Sven Steinmo. His work set the standard for studying the United States in comparative perspective and, with Kathy Thelen, coined the term Historical Institutionalism to describe how institutional legacies structure politics and policy.

[Brigid Laffan @BrigidLaffan]

Very sorry to share the news of the passing of Sven Steinmo who was a great colleague and scholar @EUI_EU & @EUI_Schuman his work on historical institutionalism and later evolutionary approaches to institutions was an immense contribution. Sleep gently Sven RIP @SvenSteinmo

[Adam Sheingate @AdamSheingate]

Current scholarship on political institutions in comparative politics, American political development, Historical Political Economy, or the American political economy project is impossible to imagine without the foundational work by Sven Steinmo.

I wrote about the history of US agricultural policy, the political coalition behind the Farm Bill cycle, and the failure to consider the most obvious form of “climate-smart” ag policy: converting millions of acres of commodity crops into new forests to capture and store carbon.

[Adam Sheingate @AdamSheingate]

@arielronid @Clare_Brock Coppess was a staffer on the hill and did a stint in the USDA. He knows a ton about farm bill politics. The book does a great job showing how ag policy reflects different regional and commodity interests.

Today is the equinox — day & night are equal and a new season has arrived. So here are some of the best (and most surprising) paintings of autumn...

A brief visit to see my mom in MKE and found this newspaper clipping reporting my grandfather’s liberation from a German POW camp in 1945. He was a practicing attorney before enlisting as a private at age 31.

I always tell my students, my goal is for this class to be one of the maybe 2 or 3 you remember 30 years from now. Richard Davis’s class at @UWMadison is one of mine.
