Hey #AcademicTwitter I am developing a course that introduces students to QCA and substantively focuses on land, power, and politics of decarbonization. The course is a masters level elective in a school of public policy.
Can you recommend articles, texts, or assignments?

🧵For anyone looking for classroom materials for intro stats/research methods, I've recently posted to GitHub a bunch of data labs and lecture materials that others are welcome to use.
ALT Lab 1: basic graphing & labeling (data: college binge drinking) Lab 2: basic data processing, descriptive stats, variable transformations, and more graphing (data: Texas school districts) Lab 3a: bivariate data description, regression; assumes Lab 2 was completed (data: Texas school districts) Lab 3b: basic regression examples, closely tracking Ch. 3 example (data: university GPAs) Lab 3c: an alternative/extension to 3a, but less annotation so you may want to add your own; could also replace Lab 6 (data: U.S. states) Lab 4: bivariate data description, confidence intervals (data: COVID-19 survey) Lab 5: data processing; doesn't relate to Ch. 5, so could easily be another week (data: NYC schools) Lab 6: simulations; additional simulations available with the Lecture 6 code/slides (https://github.com/favero-nate/minus-the-math/tree/main/lecture_slides) Lab 8: comparing means through t-tests, ANOVA, & regression (data: U.S. states) Lab 9: chi-squared
This quote from Merci Grace says it all:
“The way in which Ben [Horowitz] and Marc [Andreessen] are claiming they’re single-issue voters for Trump is so galling to me, because men have been throwing that line in my face for years as a way to dismiss the life-or-death stakes of abortion access,” Ms. Grace said, referring to the investors’ support of Mr. Trump because of what they said were his pro-tech policies. “Yes, I’m a single issue voter, too. Being alive is my issue.”

Too excited not to share the early view of this paper that started as Will's capstone. We set off to test if the EKC goals to lower agrarian pollution with the launch of the WTO were met. We find evidence of ecologically unequal exchange instead.

Released alongside power plant CO2 regulations, EPA's updated coal ash rules may have gone unnoticed by most. But the new regulations will accelerate cleanup of the toxic waste stored near coal power plants all around the country. More details here:

Everyone (rightly) concerned about the return of rising electricity demand should pay close attention to reconductoring - a wonky but consequential way to get WAY more out of our electric grid. A 🧵

At least 10% of women suffer from endometriosis & endure severe pain every month.
I’m one of them & just recovered from surgery.
Patriarchy tells us: Get used to periods being painful & keep quiet. Most of us aren’t diagnosed for about a decade.
Sharing to fight the silence.

Having spent a prior career doing land conservation in #Colorado #keepitcolorado #coloradoopenlands @LTAlliance I wasn't sure what to expect with this analysis. I love this figure because it shows that when one or more land trusts are present, the probability of a land vote making it on the agenda goes up.
