My paper w/Jacob Hall, "The King’s French," shows how a 1539 language mandate changed printing, standardized French, and strengthened national identity. (1/12)

No-one has covered themselves in glory here.
The authors made errors that shouldn't even be possible.
The peer reviewers didn't spot the red flags.
The journal wrote a clickbait press release.
The journalists lapped it up.
The editors failed to swiftly retract the paper.

This is a great opportunity! You’ll get to work with a fantastic team and be a member of Norway’s leading political science environment. Best of all, you’ll have a supportive and innovative supervisor—by all accounts.
Moreover, I have recently been awarded an ERC starting grant towards the project GETGOV to work further on this, so expect more data on cabinet members in the future. I am currently hiring two PhDs and two postdocs:
