What's even better than that first sip of morning coffee? Seeing your first solo-authored pub in print at @JPR_journal! For a breakdown of my article on nonviolent resistance and long-term state repression, check out my blog post published by @CivilWarPaths.

@saintsoftness Could try finding an Airbnb on north side of Boulder, CO. Won’t be as dramatic as GCanyon, etc, but you will be walking distance from picturesque foothills and trails. There is public transport from DEN to Boulder, and decent transport/Uber in Boulder.

Hey American friends-- have you been to one of the national parks out west in the middle of winter? Any tips for doing this without a car at all/ no hardcore camping just staying in a nice lodge with a shower? I want icy bison and rocks but also a shower.

It was an absolute delight to be back in the old hood! Thanks for invite @JoakimKreutz ! And I’m leaving with a good omen - a very dramatic sunset shot of the cathedral.

@ValentimVicente @ShanaScogin And take the opportunity to explain this in the resubmission memo. Decent Rs will understand word count limitations.

Finally finished a draft of an R&R that I fell behind with when I had covid and holy smokes it's now 1000 OVER WORD LIMIT. Literally how even.... Like, what do I do?

Hey #UConn undergraduates, I'm looking for a paid SHARE Summer Apprentice to help me research transitional justice. If that sounds like a good way to spend the summer, you can apply here: ugradresearch.uconn.edu/share-summer-2…

@PureKimminess @Timlongman Just walked dog. Definitely came back with ice in my beard.

This would be a good day to stay in bed. Coldest day in Boston since 1957.

@Sally_Sharif1 But if light isn’t ‘inflated’ (or even if it is) wouldn’t you be more interested in consumption-driven development in most cases? Genuinely very curious.

@Sally_Sharif1 Oh man. Maybe? Not really an IPE guy. I could see the opposite, though. Maybe extraction sites (like oil infra in S. Dakota) are well-lit and ‘inflate’ local light.

Recent research suggests that night-time lights can be reliably used as a proxy for economic development in developing countries. But it’s not reliable for capturing changes in sub-national patterns of development, especially in rural areas. Exhibit A: North Dakota

📢Data Alert📢 @SamanthaMGamez1 and I are very excited to share with you the African Peace Processes (APP) dataset. The dataset covers negotiations in interstate, intrastate, and non-state conflicts. Check out the introduction in @JPR_journal here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00… 1/8

@reyhanguner @EricaChenoweth @JPR_journal Fantastic to hear it’s getting some use!

At long last, my paper with @EricaChenoweth presenting NAVCO 2.1 is out! (available in @JPR_journal here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117… Want to dive into nonviolent resistance data? This is a great place to start!

It begins…

How do social movements solve collective action problems and recruit more participants? John Gledhill, @AllardDuursma, and I tackle this problem in our recent article 'Glee and Grievance.' For the rundown, check out our @PVGlance post: politicalviolenceataglance.org/2022/10/06/put… #Nonviolence

Check out this @PVGlance piece by John Gledhill, @ChrisWileyShay and me. The piece includes some fun quiz questions and I promise that clicking on the hyperlinks will be great for procrastination!😄 politicalviolenceataglance.org/2022/10/06/put…

@uwasif90 Congrats!!

@HilaryMatfess Heh, good excuse to go back in a couple weeks. Bring an extra (empty) nalgene!

@HilaryMatfess We’re the blueberries ready?
