You have a lifetime full of chances to sleep in on saturday mornings. But you only have one chance to see our Bureaucracy and IR panels, starting at 8am in Marriott 308. Choose wisely.

[Svanhildur Thorvaldsdottir @svanhildur]

Come join us! These panels are absolutely worth getting to APSA by 8am on a Saturday! 😃☕️☕️

[Matt Malis @MattMalis]

I'm on two great APSA panels on bureaucracy and IR, conveniently back-to-back in the same room on Saturday morning, featuring contributions from:

Last chance to sign up for the world's least scary intro to quant methods in R class with me in session one of #ESS2024! Details below (or DM me with any questions). Looking forward to another great summer with the Essex Summer School :D

[Svanhildur Thorvaldsdottir @svanhildur]

@parizek_m @CharlesUniPRG @IPS_FSV_CUNI Yayyyy! Congratulations!!! 🥳🥳🥳

[Svanhildur Thorvaldsdottir @svanhildur]

@fgenovese__ Solidarity from Iceland! I am just grateful that school is out in a few days. We have given up on bedtime and now routinely say yes to going out on the trampoline at 10pm. 🤷‍♀️

[Svanhildur Thorvaldsdottir @svanhildur]

@therabz I’m bigger, so clearly more scary! 😂

[Svanhildur Thorvaldsdottir @svanhildur]

No lies detected! @therabz really is the least scary intro to quant methods and/or R instructor there is! Take her class and find out for yourself! 😃

[Rabia Malik @therabz]

Very much looking forward to teaching Intro. to Quantitative Methods in R @EssexSumSchool in July (9-19). Perfect for anyone who wants a non-scary introduction to quantitative methods and/or R 😃 More details here (or just ask me!): https://t.co/WAo4JnOH1G

A great thread by my amazing former colleague and co-author @ronpatz on #UNRWA finances and reporting.

[Ronny Patz @ronpatz]

And here'ss our #FreeAccess research on @UNRWA's complex and multiple accountability towards very different stakeholder groups in @jpart_journal.

It gives you an understanding of how difficult any major reforms are in #UNRWA that satisfy everyone:

Interesting to see three Nordic research & #humanrights institutions—@RWallenbergInst @cmi_no @humanrightsdk—chosen for the review of
@UNRWA.

Having studied #UNRWA's "multiple accountability" reporting in my research (https://t.co/WDkpjGN6yR), I'm curious to see their findings.

[Svanhildur Thorvaldsdottir @svanhildur]

Great thread by my brilliant co-author and friend @ronpatz

[Ronny Patz @ronpatz]

The article+thread by @nickmicinski & @kelseypnorman covers a lot of important ground on @UNRWA financing, including in the comparison with the existence and financing of @UNmigration & @UNHCR.

Follow their links to plenty of academic sources,e.g. as Irfan's book on #UNRWA.

[Ronny Patz @ronpatz]

This 1st ever "Annual Appeal" looks like a major shift in @UNmigration fundraising.

In 2020, @svanhildur and I published our chapter on #IOM funding and fundraising, with our research then highlighting a much more demand- and not needs-driven resourcing:

@DebreMaria @zeppelin Amazing news! Congratulations!! 🥳🥳

[Ronny Patz @ronpatz]

In our #AcademicLive, we often get asked why we don't get out of the #IvoryTower.

But, in 2016, I started studying @UNRWA—the UN's Palestine Refugee Agency—out of a pure ivory tower logic.

I've blogged about this in 2021:

So glad to see this book out! This is a great resource, not just on IO-related research, but on research design and methods more generally. Hope to see it widely used! Very happy to have contributed to it!
