Thanks to @jcrohsaine and Sebastian Graham for putting together such a wonderful visit. With PAIR and the Cornerstone Institute for Civic Thought (CICT), Purdue is doing amazing things to support the study of American political institutions, thought, and development.

(1) Hi y’all 👋 I’m on the academic hiring market this year!! I’m a PhD at Yale. My job talk is a timely piece of legal history exploring Myers, Humphrey’s Executor, and the future of the unitary executive (not in the news at all 😅). Happy to send a copy! My top five courses were con law, admin law, civil procedure, immigration law, and legislation.

Backseat car hammocks for babies? Thanks to government, they are no longer for sale in the US. Now, as federal regs come under attack, political scientists and legal scholars gathered for a conference on the future of studying the administrative state: bit.ly/44LJSbW
