Caleb Pomeroy discusses the psychological effects of power—and argues that “the United States might provide the clearest case study of how an increase in a country’s power drives an uptick in fear.”

Our statement on the latest moves by the Trump administration to intimidate international students. We call on the University of Chicago administration to act.

Faculty Forward unequivocally condemns these visa revocations and calls on the University of Chicago to stand with its international students, workers, and community members against these authoritarian tactics. Read our full statement below:

Working on an IR syllabus for fall? Check out this new review essay on contemporary Chinese scholarship on international order. Published posthumously, this is likely one of Bear Braumoeller’s last scholarly contributions (with @haoming_x and @_DavidAPeterson).
Now on #FirstView: how do contemporary Chinese IR scholars understand international order?
@haoming_x, @_DavidAPeterson & Bear Braumoller compare four modern Chinese IR theories with conventional paradigms.

I want to echo @JordanMBecker. It was a privilege to work on this tribute to @Prof_BearB and I’m very grateful to Jordan, Diane Labrosse, and each of the contributors.
One of the most challenging pieces of writing I've ever been a part of. Grateful to @HDiplo for the opportunity, @GoodhartAndrew for making it happen, @IRgetsreal @SarahCroco @tanishafazal @jkertzer @JenniferMitzen @ProfPaulPoast & @AyseZarakol for sharing memories of @Prof_BearB

A true honor to take part in this wonderful tribute to Bear Braumoeller.
As I wrote at the beginning of my piece, "I am a Michigan PhD because of Bear Braumoeller"

The IR Theory Colloquium will give you the *unique* opportunity to join a small cohort of junior IR theorists and get feedback from top scholars! I was privileged to be part of last year’s cohort, a fantastic experience all around.
Do file your application, deadline August 9.

A model of hierarchy and war that produces the same result -- less war with hierarchy than without -- that obtained in East Asian history. And, great to see the wonderful, sorely missed Bear Braumoeller among the authors.

Some professional news: I'm extremely excited to have accepted a position as an Assistant Instructional Professor in the Master of Arts Program in Computational Social Science at @UChicago. Really thrilled to start teaching in a great program and to be moving back to Chicago!
Lucas was with us through three states, five apartments, two graduate degrees, and a pandemic. He has been a constant source of kindness, love, and support. I miss him so much.
If you're a grad student in IR, I strongly recommend applying for the IR Theory Colloquium. It's a unique opportunity to get really substantive feedback from a great community.
Grateful to @JenniferMitzen @segoddard and Sebastian Rosato for running it!

Congratulations to my brilliant friend, colleague, and officemate Doctor Kara Hooser! @UChicagoCIR is so lucky to have you now!
And just like that, she’s a Dr🎉
So much gratitude goes out to my incredible committee for supporting me on this journey. @JenniferMitzen, getting to work with you and under your guidance has been an absolute gift ❤️
As one says, some personal news. I successfully defended my dissertation yesterday, so but for some paperwork, I'll be graduating from Ohio State with my PhD next month. I'm extremely excited for my next career step as a postdoc at the @fordschool and very proud of my work at OSU
This is all bittersweet, defending without Bear Braumoeller, who had more influence on my project than anyone. I'm so grateful for my committee, @JenniferMitzen, @MedianVoter and Alex Thompson, who were and are incredible mentors and contributed immeasurably to the project
and to my intellectual development. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with them and with everyone else at @osupolisci and @TheMESOLab in the years to come!

The past is never really passed, because those moments of sorrow and joy always weave us together. I will miss you terribly, Bear. ❤️🥲 legacy.com/us/obituaries/leg…

Which questions about international politics can you actually answer using large-N data?
The big ones.
That's what Bear Braumoeller taught us.

As we process the tragic loss of Bear, we want to offer support to his wife, Kristen, and his daughter, Molly. Our faculty have set up a fund to support Molly's future studies.
