- My best paper yet is coming out soon in the @apsrjournal and I couldn't be happier! If you learned something new from "The Non-Democratic Roots of Mass Education," I think you'll learn even more from this one: tinyurl.com/2p89utf6
- OMG OMG pinch me! Just learned that I won the Heinz I. Eulau Award for best article published in the @apsrjournal and PoP in 2022 for my article: “Education or Indoctrination? The Violent Origins of Public School Systems in an Era of State-Building”
- Today is the deadline to accept/decline offers of admission at many programs. I'm seeing lots of happy tweets from new students. I'm also lamenting the mental health consequences of social media. If you didn't get admitted, or if you did, it says nothing about your worthiness.
- Replying to @aspaglayanI argue that, historically, in Europe and Latin America, domestic conflict was a crucial factor prompting autocrats to expand primary schooling for the masses -- not to appease them through redistribution, but to instill values of obedience and respect for the state's authority
- Holy moly! My article the "The Non-Democratic Roots of Mass Education" is the recipient of two awards, the Michael Wallerstein and Mary Parker Follett Awards for best political economy and best politics and history articles.

- TFW I found out that my paper "Civil War, State Consolidation, and the Spread of Mass Education" is the winner of the 2018 APSA award for the best Political Economy paper. (I really did jump on my bed!) APSA paper here (new version soon): convention2.allacademic.com/one/apsa/apsa1… Summary below
GIF - 🔥hot take🔥: There is too much emphasis on teaching impact evaluation and "what works" in MPP programs. There should be at least as much emphasis on teaching students how to think about, and improve, the **political feasibility** of a policy recommendation.
- My paper on democracy and education just got accepted at the #APSR and I need suggestions for a new title. Abstract below and, in yellow, the key findings. Any ideas? #PoliSciTwitter #AcademicTwitter #womenalsoknowstuff
