Finally holding my copy of How the Heartland Went Red!

My new book examines how place intersects with race, class, and religion in shaping the rightward turn in the industrial Heartland.

Very excited for this conversation!

@efranklinfowler @EasternCTStateU And I loved learning from you! My mom felt the same lol

[Stephanie Ternullo @StephanieTern]

I had the best time talking with students & faculty @EasternCTStateU last night. It was a full-circle moment: after arriving in the US from Italy, knowing no English and never learning to read or write it, my Nona found a job there as a cook, which she kept for 33 years.

@JaeJaeykim2 @EasternCTStateU Thanks Jae! It sounds so corny, but was one of the most meaningful professional experiences I've had :)

[Stephanie Ternullo @StephanieTern]

@jkertzer I'll believe it when I see it

[Stephanie Ternullo @StephanieTern]

Also, when 8 of your family members show up for a talk/event, you're guaranteeing a minimum audience size! 10/10, would recommend.

[Stephanie Ternullo @StephanieTern]

my parents, and in the multitude of public institutions, like Eastern and UConn, that have supported my family's livelihoods and education through the years. It was the perfect reminder that I stand on the shoulders of these tiny giants every day.

[Josh Kertzer @jkertzer]

Not too late to apply for Harvard's junior IR search!

FYI - there's weird language in the ad about "≥ 1 letter must come from someone who has not served as the candidate's advisor" -- this apparently just means other committee members (we didn't write it!)

[Stephanie Ternullo @StephanieTern]

@jkertzer You can meet with us anytime, right at home!

[Stephanie Ternullo @StephanieTern]

Best way to start a conference is with a sunny river run #APSA2024. Lucky that my first APSA ever is in one my favorite cities

[Stephanie Ternullo @StephanieTern]

And another working paper from the project is here: https://t.co/qSF7CG4tg1.

[Stephanie Ternullo @StephanieTern]

Really looking forward to #APSA2024 this week, where I'll get to share a working paper from my new book project about suburban Democrats, which I've been working on for a little over two years now.

[Stephanie Ternullo @StephanieTern]

In the book, I plan to describe the forces that sustain these local political dynamics and assess the extent to which new policies and political mobilizations could disrupt the status quo. Looking forward to feedback as I develop this paper and make it into a real book!

[Josh Kertzer @jkertzer]

#APSA2024 is next week, and @HarvardGovernm1 grad students are out in force!

With apologies for the janky spreadsheets, a quick, Crimson-themed preview of the schedule...

(I think I caught all our grad students and faculty affiliates, but if not, please chime in!)

[Stephanie Ternullo @StephanieTern]

If you've encountered me at all in the past two years, you know I love it here. It's mainly because of the people. If you're on the fence about applying because you don't think you'll find a supportive community here, just let me try and persuade you first!

[Stephanie Ternullo @StephanieTern]

@HarvardGovernm1 is hiring a junior faculty member in American politics with a focus on institutions: https://t.co/zUTV21WHGW. I'm not on the search committee, but I'm happy to talk to anyone who has concerns about what it's like to be junior here!
