Political theorists!
I'm serving on the Best Paper Award for APSA. I'm looking forward to reading what you all have been working on!
Given the strike in LA, if you were accepted to present but chose not to, your paper is still eligible for consideration.
@ClaireCMcKinney Had to go looking through my inbox-- APT piloted a dependent care program in 2019. I think they offered a list of local care providers and/or a cash subsidy. I'm not sure anyone used it, and I don't recall it being offered again.
🧵Goodreads reviews of Leviathan. (1) "Bro literally spends the first part just defining words. Why am I reading a bad dictionary?" (2) "By turns insulting and depressing. Unless, of course, you happen to be a reigning monarch. Then it's probably the feel-good read of the year."
I just published this piece at @Slate on sex and homelessness. It's not a topic that gets a ton of attention, but I hope I made the case that it's a serious one . . .

When Wittgenstein submitted an essay for his BA degree at Cambridge, he did not include a preface and notes indicating the sources that he had used. When asked to supply these, he wrote this letter to G.E. Moore. (Wittgenstein in Cambridge: Letters and Documents 1911-1951, 76.)
This is utterly bizarre. The lone request for a gay wedding website in 303 Design, one of the cases SCOTUS has yet to decide this term, appears to be fabricated. https://t.co/vqJFdikOnE

“I have these persistent questions,” I remember telling her, as I was reading the New Yorker cartoons taped on her walls. “They won’t go away,” she said. Had I only known how many of these questions would be ones that she'd inspire. May her memory be a blessing.
Saddened to hear about the loss of Hanna Pitkin. I was incredibly fortunate to have been taught by her. Through her work, her seminars, and her pages of written feedback, she profoundly shaped the way I think.
Many of you know how brilliant she was by reading her work. But I wish you could have also known her humor, her delight in language, and her kindness. I wish you could have had the pleasure of watching her diagnose all of your cohort’s resistances and defenses.
