Pleased to post my draft article, “Discovering the Historical Anglo-American Constitution.”
I study the history of birthright citizenship from the 1100s to the 1700s. The English common-law rule of natural-born subjects was always tied to territory and jurisdiction. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
I love how people can breezily be like “so much that divides people” like it’s a brunch menu when the division is over whether people should be dead or not
If you study the politics of education (or, honestly, the politics of anything else in the U.S.), this is worth a read
Jefferson helps clarify some of the issues I've been struggling with as I write a book on the causes and consequences of rising partisan conflict in K-12 education
Fascinating work by my pal @naunovmartin.bsky.social. Add this to your Pride month reading list.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver on Trump coming to Madison Square Garden
"He's welcome to be here. What makes sports so special, especially when there’s so much that divides people, is it’s something that we have in common."
This is a great read, for how beautifully it is written and all the substantive reasons.
It points at something I have been thinking a lot about in my own domain of research, climate politics, in this historical moment.
Tldr: polarization is a problem, but depolarization is not the solution.

lol, what!?
One of the weirder Social Forces book reviews ever I've seen.
Going out on a limb and guessing Wimer has a negative view of Kenworthy's book?
Tldr: I am all for coalition building, but I agree 💯 with this piece that the insistence of gradual consensus-building in climate debates - as in others (eg race, sexuality, etc) - is not fit for this historical moment. If anything, this has created cracks that are feeding authoritarians now.

In line with what @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social writes here, I've heard smart people talking about the current climate cultural wars with a ~mea culpa attitude, as if progressive activists and climate scientists should have seen this coming and must have insulated from polarization on the matter.

Here are remarks I gave at the Keeping the Republic Conference at Notre Dame. If you’ve followed me over the past decade or so, my skepticism toward the field’s fixation on polarization likely won’t come as much of a surprise. But here they are, for what they’re worth.

My Remarks at Notre Dame's "Keeping the Republic" Conference
Cool to see my recent @thejop.bsky.social study covered by LGBTQ Nation. And here's a recent Fox Chicago interview if you'd rather hear me talk about it: youtu.be/flb60Z7NksM?...
