I you'd like to learn about economics from a political economy perspective — which is the true roots of economics — this is the absolute primer. It's accessible, fun, and honestly the first book I'd recommend to anyone who wants an introduction to economics.
Ha-Joon Chang once told me that trying to learn about political economy and economic history in an economics department is like trying to learn about atheism in the Catholic church. He captured how I had been feeling my entire undergrad, stuck in an economics department.

This semester I asked my UGs to critique a ChatGPT4 critique of an academic paper. This has been a great way to encourage students to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of LLMs while also getting them to think critically about an academic paper. 10/10 would assign again.

Is #democracy backsliding in #Asia? In a new article @cps_journal, @AndrewIYeo & I argue: No, actually. What look like signs of democratic regress are part of a distinct & less obvious--but no less important--phenomenon we call democratic ceilings.🧵/1 doi.org/10.1177/001041402311…

"Expert in their field" = Spent so many years immersed in a narrow topic that they've forgotten how to converse with people. Yet, just like everyone else, they also cringe at the word “expert”.

Some North American scholars used to respond to my emails when I was a doctoral student at Cambridge. They stopped responding after I started teaching in India. Good luck with decolonising the academia. Just saying.

A truly horrifying sight in the Bay of Bengal right now. Cyclone Mocha making a run at Category 5 in remaining hours before landfall near the Bangladesh-Myanmar border. Worst case-scenario event.

What "counts" as "International Relations"? Cynthia Enloe challenged IR scholars to answer that question, turning our understanding of international politics upside down. [THREAD]
