So happy to celebrate with our amazing @noscoredraws.com mugs!!

Last night, I had the enormous privilege of moderating the Nerenberg Family Foundation Annual Speaker Event with Amb. Dan Shapiro & @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social. Thank you to Northwestern Hillel & @medillschool.bsky.social for the opportunity, and to the brilliant & ever compelling Dan & Yair!

Yesterday I had the utter joy to pilot a brand new, original case study coauthored with my friend & colleague Lucy Montgomery. “Full Court Press: The Negotiations to Bring Wrongfully Detained WNBA Star Brittney Griner Home” coming soon to a classroom near you! 1/

Finally, this idea wouldn’t have become a paper without Michael Weintraub, who first shared my enthusiasm when I shared what was emerging from my interviews. Since then, I’ve been the luckiest to receive invaluable feedback from many workshops, conferences, and friends. Thank you!

I’m thrilled that “Partners in Crime: Comparative Advantage and Kidnapping Cooperation” has been conditionally accepted at Comparative Political Studies! Working paper available on my website: shorturl.at/NHtFW

Thank you! I had it framed, but in a box of sorts, so that I could still see the back, too:

I’ve been meaning to tell you that I have this! So excited to hang it in my office.

Today is my first day as an Assistant Professor at Northwestern! I am so, so excited and grateful. Now: let’s see if I can recreate this ensemble in grown-up… 💜

Goodbye, Colorado Springs! I will miss these mountains so. Evanston, here we come!!

Bidding farewell to this view
