@SarahKCowan @UCLALuskin @womenalsoknow @POCalsoknow @APSALatinos This specific opening is for full and advanced associates "on the cusp of promotion" to full. But we have near-term plans to grow, and those almost certainly involve recruiting at different ranks.

@UCLALuskin PP searching for a senior scholar who can also serve as chair. Perfect for a policy-oriented scholar excited about helping to grow our department. (We expect to hire 5️⃣ faculty in the next 3 years!)

“Community policing” was designed in the US to build trust in police & reduce crime.

Does it work in the Global South, where it's now being widely adopted?

In @ScienceMagazine, we report answers from 6 coordinated experiments: “no.”

So excited to see ongoing work with @darinchr @guygrossman and Jeremy Weinstein at @ImmigrationLab featured in this new piece from The Economist. @kcsalmon highlights the prevalence of within-Africa migration and why it deserves more attention. https://t.co/Z4nknlzB3Y

A new @PNASNews study by affiliated prof @darinchr & coauthors Alexandra Hartman (@uclspp) & @cdsamii finds citizen monitoring of communal #forests in #Liberia corrects misconceptions, increases accountability, and broadens participation in rule-making: https://t.co/G6FkzTNoWZ

[Darin Christensen @darinchr]

Our study wouldn’t have been possible without an amazing team at Parley Liberia (Greg, Prince, Charlotte, Suahkollie, Josephus), the time devoted by our citizen monitors and survey respondents, and support from @swebera. 🙏
