The out-of-Africa migration.
Societies whose ancestors migrated farther from Africa show lower diversity in music, folklore, and social norms, values & attitudes.

Thanks for inviting me and the great discussion afterwards. Sorry that @ACDickens couldn't be around - he would've been more fun and knowledgeable about the Canadian TV context!

CDN TV emerged as a dual system of private (local) and public (national) broadcasters, yet early policy prevented the expansion of both into the same market. Local news differences across markets explains the direction of change in voter turnout and political accountability. 7/8

Of potential interest to fellow Canadians! We reconstruct the mid-20th century Canadian television network from archival records and study TVs impact on political engagement/accountability. I am really proud of this one and it's my first time working on anything Canadian related.

How will future changes in the media landscape affect political engagement?
In a new working paper, @MIwanowsky and I find that the extent of local information contained within new media explains the direction of change in political engagement.

Addendum: one cannot conclude that public media is "bad" for politics from our findings. We discuss this and the context of 1950s Canada in the paper, and how the context shaped the different objectives -- and thus content -- aired on public and private stations.
