As SPS HoD during this ranking period, I’m thrilled with this outcome—it's a testament to the hard work our department has put in to remain at the forefront of political science.

🚨New Paper Alert!🚨
Voters dislike when politicians engage in corrupt behavior. But how do politicians themselves perceive and judge corruption?
My new paper with @RFisman and @mgoldenProf looks at this question. 🧵1/12

Anyone able to help contact the editorial team at @polanalysis? Have been trying to resubmit a slightly late revised article, cannot get Scholar One to allow it, and the email address for the editorial assistant has been out of order for the last 10 days.

@sarahsunnbush @melinaplatas @cps_journal @sarahsunnbush @melinaplatas eager to read this. Fantastic idea, and your findings should give pause to potential users of subjective democracy ratings.

Thank you for being such a constructive member of my group. @EUI_EU benefits hugely from its vibrant visiting and exchange programs.

[Hugo Ferrinho Lopes @HFerrinhoLopes]

I had a great experience at the @EUI_EU from October to March, and I am so grateful to @mgoldenProf for having me. Even more so, I am fortunate to have been chosen for the Widening Europe Programme, allowing me to return in September, now with @simonjhix as my liaison professor.

@VinArceneaux I also signed, because isolating our Israeli colleagues in no way helps to advance peace, to restrain the current Israeli government, or to create conditions for an independent Palestinian state. We should do all we can to protect our colleagues’ academic freedom.

[Judea Pearl @yudapearl]

Dear friends in academia,
We are in receipt of an urgent petition against Boycotts of Israeli Academicians which I thought you would wish to sign. It started with scholars from the humanities and social science, but can be signed by academics from other fields as well.

Here’s the description:
Statement against the Boycott of Israeli Academics
We, scholars from the humanities and social sciences, though not exclusively from these fields, are deeply concerned about the increasing isolation of our academic colleagues in Israel. Calls for boycotts against Israeli academic institutions are not new, but since the brutal attack by Hamas on October 7th and the subsequent Israeli-Hamas War, these calls have taken on a new dimension. On April 12, 2024, the Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz published an article based on interviews with over 60 Israeli scholars and reported an astonishing range of discriminatory practices. These include the termination of scientific collaborations, cancellation of conference invitations, refusal to consider scholarly submissions to journals, rejections of promotion evaluations, and withdrawal of offers for academic appointments, among other instances.Regardless of how each of us currently analyzes the situation on the ground and evaluates the actions of the Israeli government and army, we want to make clear that we stand against all forms of boycotts targeting Israeli scholars and Israeli academic institutions. We firmly advocate for cooperation and continued work with them. We are also convinced that the gradual, often subtle exclusion of Israeli scholars contradicts fundamental principles of professional comportment and academic freedom. Moreover, an academic boycott against Israel is counterproductive regarding internal Israeli debates as well as Israeli-Palestinian dialogue, as Barak Medina argued in his essay Is it Justified to Boycott Israeli Academia?We strongly believe that international exchange – especially in troubled times like these – is essential for maintaining an open and global academic community. The alarming trend of excluding Israeli scholars from international academic discourse requires unequivocal response on our part. We, the undersigned, call on scholars to stand in solidarity with our Israeli colleagues on this critical issue.Statement AuthorsAnne Rethmann (FU Berlin/Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
Daniel Siemens (Newcastle University)Helmut Walser Smith (Vanderbilt University)
------------------
Feel free to share it with your friends and colleagues.

Let me just add that, in my opinion, the statement is too mild. The next statement to sign is one calling for doubling down on our Israel-collaboration efforts.

Thanks
