I am so proud of Alice Danelia for her presentation of “Perceived Effectiveness of Lobbying Coalitions in Washington, DC” at the 75th Annual Conference of the Midwest Political Science Association in Chicago, IL. This poster is joint work among Alice, Jesse Crosson, Marco Lewis, and myself.
Check out “Democracy Is in the Streets”, by Scott McLemee, which appears in today’s edition of Inside Higher Ed. This essay examines both The Activists, my film with Melody Shemtov, as well as Party in the Street, my book with Fabio Rojas. Read it here:

Today I received the amazing news that I received the UROP Outstanding Research Mentor Award, which is a major award for undergraduate teaching at the University of Michigan. I was nominated for this award by Chen Liang, who was the student who traveled to present our joint work at Yale University a few weeks ago. I am enormously grateful to Chen, as well as to the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP), and its Director, Sandra Gregerman. I work with about 10 students through this program each year, which is absolutely integral to the progress of my research program. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

My latest article appears today in Democracy: A Journal of Ideas. It is titled “Transcending Partisanship in the Age of Trump.” It is a quick read — only 2,000 words. The link is here:
I was quoted by Oklahoma NPR in an article about state laws to increase penalties on protest.
Today I was quoted in the Christian Science Monitor on efforts by the Tea Party to form a countermovement to the anti-Trump movement.
Here are some recent media stories that I was quoted in:

I am so proud of Chen Liang, a University of Michigan undergraduate student, for her presentation at Yale University this week. She presented a poster based on our joint work, titled “From Offline to Online: Protesters at the Republican and Democratic National Conventions.”
