I got two more gorgeous books in the post to review! I can’t wait to read these! 😍
ALT The Coyote’s Pack and Another Way to Hope.
I'm a social scientist, and I wrote a fantasy novel. Let me explain.
It's a social science take on fantasy adventure. An action story about how stories can matter more than actions. A love letter to science and to magic, in a world where they're not opposites.
And most of all, it's a story I need right now. It's about how to find hope in dark times—not by worshipping shiny heroes or attributing all evil to some archvillain, but by doing the hard work of understanding broken systems well enough to change them.
ANOTHER WAY TO HOPE is out in October. Advance copies are free at the link, with no obligation to review or to be kind if you do. Reshares help a lot. And if you know anyone who might help it find readers, I'd be grateful for an introduction.

MINORITY RULE IS COMING FOR DEMOCRACY
In his new book, @AriBerman explains how the Founding Fathers planted a bomb in the Constitution and Donald Trump lit the fuse.

Excellent and important prediction/warning from @pbump.
Our research shows how journalists can (and should!) successfully defend themselves:

I was asked to offer thoughts on the next year in the media. I focused on the very real and expansive threat that is looming.

.@LSU is hiring for TWO positions (assistant/associate) in political communication. One joint appt. with poli sci, one 100% @ManshipSchool. LSU was a great place to teach and study @poli_com - you should apply!

Stop treating it like normal political negotiation; it's economic terrorism. They don't have the votes for the budget cuts they want so they're threatening to burn down the world economy to get their way. If you don't have votes for what you want to do, go win elections.

🚨New Publication Alert 🚨
I’m very happy to share that our study on the effects of racialized news during the early #COVID19 pandemic has been published in the Int Journal of Comm❗️#mediaeffects – at Syracuse, NY
News about how other countries have more successfully solved the same problem is an underused and understudied form of journalism. We find impressive benefits of such comparative news in the case of #COVID19 dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.…

What happens when we see news on other countries’ #COVID19 policies?
In our latest @PLOSONE article, we report interesting effects on knowledge of policy differences, support for adopting similar policies, presidential blame, and trust in health experts

New research in @PLOSONE from our assoc. prof. Ray Pingree found op/eds can restore the belief that politically impartial truth-seeking is possible.

Cynical rhetoric has undermined faith in vital truth-seeking professions including journalism, science, and justice. Our study found that op/eds can restore the belief that politically impartial truth-seeking is possible. dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.…
Check out these two wonderful examples of defending impartiality (which we used as the stimulus in study 2): former Fox News anchor Shepard Smith @thenewsoncnbc and NYTimes columnist @nytdavidbrooks. youtu.be/YIwL6oftXd0

Damn right. For the full effect watch the clip.
"We can still stop them. Yeah I said 'we.' We as in small-d democrats...as a journalist I'm not here to speak for a political party but I am damn well here to speak for democracy...sorry, there's no 'both sides' when it comes to democracy."
