🇱🇷So excited about @RobtelNeajai's @CUP_PoliSci book after reading @fulyafelicity's review today:

washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/… #APSRS21
@RobtelNeajai @CUP_PoliSci @fulyafelicity "This fascinating & innovative book is a must-read for researchers and policymakers working in the fields of migration, citizenship, diasporas and development as it offers fresh and alternative perspectives beyond traditional Eurocentric and Westphalian notions of citizenship."
@RobtelNeajai @CUP_PoliSci @fulyafelicity Here's a link to @CUP_PoliSci page for @RobtelNeajai's book, Development, (Dual) Citizenship and Its Discontents in Africa: cambridge.org/core/books/dev…
@RobtelNeajai @CUP_PoliSci @fulyafelicity And ICYMI, @BeattyRiedl interviewed @RobtelNeajai on @UfahamuAfrica -- and in that energetic conversation, you can learn more about her theory, argument, and the data she collected for this book: ufahamuafrica.com/2021/05/01/ep-…

I'm concerned about the low rate of UCR students reporting they're vaccinated against COVID-19, as mandated by the UC. I was curious how other UCs were doing.

There are 9 UCs that teach undergrads. Of those, I could not find information for 4: UCI, UCLA, UCSB, UCSD.
Best performer of the 5 reporting data that I could find?

UC Berkeley (of course). As of today, >94% of Berkeley students report being vaccinated. coronavirus.berkeley.edu/dashboard/immu…
Not far behind them? The newest UC Campus: UC Merced (Central Valley represent!!!), with 89% of students "pharmaceutically compliant" with the vaccine mandate (additional students are compliant with the policy, but not vaccinated).

My mom tried to register as a voter to be eligible to cast a ballot in the Nov 3rd elections. She is not internet-savvy and struggled for 3 hours with the @NVSOS website to register online (using her phone, she has no computer), thinking she finally got her voter reg to submit.
During my weekend call w/her today, I checked online to see if she was successful (anyone in NV can check their voter reg status in link below). Gentle readers, she was almost in tears when I told her there were no records of her having registered. nvsos.gov/votersearch/
Registering my mom would take me at most 5 minutes to do. I have a computer and I know how to submit online forms. My mother, an immigrant to this country who has a third-grade education and for whom English is a second-language, has never owned a computer in her life.

As someone who has studied presidential ill health, let me say it’s important to remember the motivations of political elites whose primary source of power comes through their relationship with the sick president.
Want more background?

Here’s the academic article I wrote with @bonidulani, in which we caution against relying too much on constitutional provisions to guide succession, especially in the case of presidential ill health: academic.oup.com/afraf/article/…
And here is a @monkeycageblog piece I wrote based on that research, looking at the case of #Zambia’s president becoming ill in office (but also talking about the US Constitution’s 25th amendment): washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-ca…

wow. I'm missing my halmonee something fierce this morning.
for the record, she swore and wore mens' underwear, but after a few years in the US, she learned how to bake cookies.
in a fit of despair about everything in America earlier this week, I did the math and realized that my halmonee moved to a new country where she didn't speak the language when she was 5 years older than I am right now. she lived a whole second life.

I'm so proud of our 1st episode in @UfahamuAfrica's 5th season! You can literally hear the difference in sound quality, which is all thanks to the talent of @MeganDeMint. Her work is made possible through the generous support of @CarnegieCorp. Hear it: 👇🏼soundcloud.com/ufahamuafrica/…
Long-time followers of @UfahamuAfrica might have noticed that for the 1st time since we started the show, show notes have been made immediately available on our website, thanks to the tireless work of another new team member, @fulyafelicity! Read it:👇🏼ufahamuafrica.com/2020/09/26/epi…
For 2 years, I've been lucky to get to catch up every week with my dear friend + colleague + co-host @BeattyRiedl. In this episode, we talk about what we look forward to in Season 5. In this snippet, I mentioned @OumarKBa, whose episode is coming soon!

Also in this week's call with Kimyi-ah's mom: a friend of hers died from #COVID19, after three weeks in the hospital. He's six years younger than her. She's been vigilant throughout the pandemic, especially since her niece (my cousin) got very ill with COVID in March.
During last week's call, I learned that she'd fallen + hurt her wrist -- that was when I told her the greatness that is Telehealth. Dear readers, this week was the 1st time she "met" with her doctor via phone. He told her how smart it was for her to call instead of coming in.
We also made a plan for her to get a flu shot, which she hasn't done in a few years (last time she got one, she was sick for 3 days--don't judge my mom or I will come for you). She said that with COVID it's really important she gets one this year + she wants to do it safely.
