It was super fun for me to write a paper that outside of my usual wheelhouse on multiple dimensions! Data from the US (I'm glad I finally got to study America as a comparativist!!), survey methods, and focus groups 👉check out the paper for interesting quotes! /end

I’m excited to be holding an author-meets-critic roundtable on my book at @APSAtweets this year, with a stellar lineup of discussants: Jack Goldstone, @TomilaLankina, @lisablaydes, and @pstanpolitics. Please join us on Saturday 9/5 at 2pm!
🚨🚨 I’m thrilled to share that my book, Return of Tyranny: Why Counterrevolutions Emerge and Succeed, will be published this month with @CUP_PoliSci in their Comparative Politics Series

Can anyone who knows Boston recommend some good restaurants near the APSA convention center? Doesn't need to be fancy!
