I did something that's big news for me, and not typically what academic political scientists do: I wrote a parenting book about our subject. This is a medium-long thread on why/how.

Join us Thur March 12 for the next Open Minds Initiative seminar, w/Dr. Lindsey Cormack, author of “How to Raise a Citizen,” & Tyler Janke & Nathan McAlister from Missouri & Kansas’ Depts of Education @NHTOYMc @DCInbox @AmPublicSquare tinyurl.com/mv9u37j9
