Hey #polisci Twitter! @jmlisin, @kmmunger and I analyzed you! We found a lot of interesting things. osf.io/dvkwt/ 1/18
Late in 2018, we identified the universe of political scientists working at PhD-granting institutions and determined which of them were on Twitter. We then scraped them in the spring of 2019. 2/18
#polisci Twitter is predominantly male, tenured, and liberal, consistent with the discipline in general. However, women and tenure-track scholars are more likely to be on Twitter than men and tenured scholars. 3/18

1/n. Saving all the cool new data sources and tools I learned about at #APSA2018.
Cliff-Clavin for geolocating newspaper articles: cliff.mediacloud.org. Though Mordecai will eventually replace it for automated event data: github.com/openeventdata/….
#terrier, the new and improved Phoenix (automated events data), terrierdata.org. See more at: osf.io/4m2u7/.

The #MeTooPoliSci short course today at #APSA2018 was educational, emotional, and empowering. A smattering of things I learned and practices we can all implement: (thread)
1. Title IX leaves a lot of room for interpretation & many universities have different policies regarding things like mandatory reporting. Find out if you're a mandatory reporter, and if you are, put it in your syllabus/discuss on syllabus day.
2. Find out which hospitals in your area have Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE nurses) who are specially trained to do rape kits so you have that information if a student needs it.

What else could you possibly be doing at 8 a.m. on Saturday at #APSA2018 besides coming to a panel on rebel & terror recruitment? I'll be presenting a new framework for understanding how state rhetoric affects who engages in terrorism. #womenalsoAPSA
In brief: we study terrorist propaganda and social networks to death, but we need to pay attention to other info to which people are exposed, particularly from the state. I argue that alarmism may actually *fuel* radicalization.
I'll be sharing some preliminary case study work from my dissertation on patterns of state ideas surrounding terrorism and possible mechanisms linking them to variation in popularity of certain organizations. Come give me feedback!
