Dear friends - I am no longer active on Twitter / X. Please follow me on Blue Sky at @DemocracyProfDC

OK. Let's be honest. Who is thinking about leaving Twitter for Threads? And who is planning on just trying to do both, on top of all the other media?

@landemore @metaviv I just got back from Iceland and remembered your field work there, fyi

Thanks @metaviv , terrific analysis, including the even-handed comparison btw Deliberative Polls and Citizens' Assemblies. I also got to watch some of the Meta's Community Forums and it was both impressive in terms of scale and frustrating in terms of deliberation quality.

@phd_sis A star guest speaker in my class on Post-Truth politics. Congratulations!

Congratulations to Dr. Jaclyn Fox who earlier today defended her dissertation entitled "Nearing The Far(Right): From Online Forums To Offline Violence, How Hate Became Mainstream"

@CES_Europe Where to next year? I really enjoyed my first CES meeting

That’s a wrap on the 29th International Conference of Europeanists in Reykjavik, Iceland 🇮🇸 Thank you so much to all our participants for making this an incredible experience full of memories, panels and meetings. See you next year! 😉 #CESConf #CES2023

Happy 4th of July. A great blow against British imperialism

@DanJDevine We kinda need your feedback on the paper...

@FrontierMin @AU_SIS @phd_sis @CES_Europe Here is a "trawler hook" that Icelandic fisherfolk used to cut British fishing nets underwater during the Cod wars. The president (who is the leading academic on the subject) pointed out that Iceland's maritime waters have repeatedly been extended since

@Dev4Security @AU_SIS @phd_sis @CES_Europe Interesting! Love the 'border' dynamics in that part of the world!

We are everywhere! Great to see @AU_SIS @phd_sis alumna Ela Rosmiller here at #CES2023 @CES_Europe in #Iceland. Lots of debates here on populism and its links to authoritarianism, especially in Poland.

@DanJDevine @hilda_beastoxf @sotonpolitics Oh wow. Do they offer post post docs? I want to go. PS: discussed you here at the @CES_Europe. Lots of trust talk at the COVID panel

@FrontierMin @AU_SIS @phd_sis @CES_Europe Just attended a panel on post Cold War borders. The northern towns in Norway had good trade relations with Russia , emerged in 1990s, but now very upset with the Ukraine War

@Dev4Security @AU_SIS @phd_sis @CES_Europe Oh yay! Wonderful AU connection!

H.E. Guoni Th. Johannesson, President of #Iceland at @CES_Europe #CES2023 - humor is necessary in political discourse. Humor is fine when you make fun of people in power. It's a sign of confidence. It's very different when your jokes target those who can't defend themselves.

H.E. Guoni Th. Johannesson, President of #Iceland at @CES_Europe #CES2023 How did Iceland prevail over UK in dispute over fishing rights? conservation, cynicism, commitment, global compassion, and cold war (leveraging history of close alliance with US), intl law

H.E. Guoni Th. Johannesson, President of #Iceland at @CES_Europe #CES2023 on "Presidents and Academics, Nationalism and Objectivity"

@hmylonas @CES_Europe We don't see each other much in DC so maybe I'll see you here. Cheers

Let @CES_Europe 2023 begin! #CES2023

Excited to be attending my first #CES2023 conference at @uni_iceland! Join me on Wednesday for panel "European and American Responses to Post-Truth Populism" at 11 am in Askja w/Max Conrad et. al

Congratulations to our Veronica Limeberry for winning an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship! The project is "Measuring Impacts of Community Seed Banks on Nutrition, Food Security, and Food Sovereignty in Underserved Regions of the US Southeast and Southwest"

Attending my first #CES2023. Would love to tweetup after panels on Tuesday about democratic backsliding, polarization and identity, and social mobilization etc.
