We see a lot of papers rejected for drawing very complex serial causal models from cross-sectional data. A good read on the topic (and the concerns related to these analyses)? Chan et al (2020) from JoBEM: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

My last contribution on how to (so-called) decolonize IR (in @millennjournal)! The first baby step is to decenter the Western gaze in our syllabi:
-> 54% mention the Cold War, 8% de/colonization
-> 92% realism, 14% race studies
-> 32 U.S. leaders mentioned, 0 from Africa

Data shows adults in the US & globally are getting news less often on social media compared to 2020
— That's largely because Meta's de-investment in news is not being offset by news consumption on TikTok, YouTube, etc. And the news cycle has slowed.
