My job market paper examines how China produces entertainment that intertwines vivid portrayals of governance failures with positive narratives of reform and progress to persuade citizens of the regime’s competence and accountability.

New paper at AJPS: "The limits of AI for authoritarian control." The more repression there is, the less information exists in AI's training data, and the worse the AI performs. Ironically, data from democracies can help improve repressive AI.

How far has the credibility revolution actually reshaped the discipline? In a new working paper w/ @caro_whitetower @william_dinneen & Guy Grossman, we use GPT-4o to code 91,632 articles from 174 political science journals (2003–2023) and track research designs, transparency practices, and citations.

🚨 To what extent is the American public willing to hold incumbents accountable amid incremental erosion of democracy? What strategic sequence of democratic backsliding may harm voter accountability? I answer these questions in this new paper at @BJPolS. cup.org/4i8Bp8J

My new paper with @jiyoung_ko has just been published at @cps_journal! We examine why citizens in formerly colonized nations hold starkly varying attitudes--admiration, resentment, or even indifference--towards their former colonizers. Paper here: lnkd.in/gtirQpS3
