Hello everyone aand welcome to the Politics Lab! I have a PhD in comparative politics (that means I compare systems in different countries) and public management, and I've been a politics nerd for 30 years. Being a high-functioning autistic gives me the hyperfocus superpower for this kind of thing! I have a dog and a cat, and am a dad for two teenagers. And this is my workspace! Please introduce yourself and your workspace! Need tutoring? Find me at Superprof and message me with the word "LOOM" for priority booking!

Political concepts in the wild
What’s one political science concept you now see EVERYWHERE? You learned it in class, maybe thought “okay, sure,” and then suddenly started noticing it in elections, workplaces, universities, families, online communities—basically everywhere humans organize themselves badly. Mine would probably be institutional incentives or organized hypocrisy What's yours? Bonus points if you give a real-world example.

Ask me anything about Pol Sci! I’ll answer with political science tools)- Example questions: “Why do voters support X against their own interests?” A: Voter behaviour is shaped a number of processes of socialization, and rarely be boiled down to a single "interest", and while it can be possible to have a decent idea of how an individual will vote based on their socio-economic status, education and identity markers, it's hard to predict how voters will vote in a particular election. “What’s one institution that shapes outcome Y?” A: I could use historical path-dependency here, or organizational culture, for example, depending on what Y is.
