Thank you to the Centre for Public Law at Faculty of Law for hosting me at this double-bill lunchtime seminar earlier this week. (And no, I haven’t shifted my research into the monetary state!)

Now, this is a beautiful office space. Spending two weeks at Cambridge Law as a Hebert Smith Freehills Global Visitor where I’ll be working on my monograph on pluralist courts.

New from Eric L McDaniel & yours truly in Social Science Quarterly. Using Pew Research Center data, we find the link between wanting govt to support religion & rejecting political compromise is largely limited to Whites, while Black adults who favor govt-supported religion see less partisan division.

Looking forward to this workshop tomorrow on a new research trajectory on digital religion - ari.nus.edu.sg/events/digital…

This is workshop 1 out of 2 and we will focus on methodological questions to the study of digitalization of religion, and its law and policy impact.

By focusing on civil liberties but ignoring economic issues, liberals like me got defeated on both. Progressives, especially, must recognize that preserving constitutional freedoms depends on winning the fight for economic liberties. 👇 theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Watch out for our next call for applications for 2025/26.

Made it to Bonn this time for the Academic Board meeting of the Academy of International Affairs NRW. Great opportunity for scholars & practitioners to spend time on their research & expand their networks. I had a brilliant time meeting the Fellows we selected last year & participating in their colloquium.

Congratulations to Sergio Verdugo and Michaela Hailbronner for this well-deserved appointment! Looking forward to even more amazing icon-s annual meetings and initiatives.

Male academic posts female researcher’s mobile number on a conference website without prior consultation or consent. When female researcher protests, and demands he removes it, he takes offense at her tone and demands she apologizes. Some people are unbelievable.

I am stunned and thrilled to share that ‘Gender, Property and Politics in the Pacific: Who Speaks for Land?’ has won the 2023 Australian Legal Research Awards prize for a book! Cambridge University Press - Law ANU College of Law ourANU 1/9

I am wrapping up a paper (see abstract below) titled 'Religious Observance in America: Evidence from Cellphone Data'. I have a gazillion figures about religion that I think are pretty interesting and make for fun Twitter content.

My monthlong comparative constitutionalist travels started here - a brilliant event at Academia Sinica in Taipei! My thanks to fellow participants for the stimulating discussions and to Oran Doyle for impeccable organization.

Terrific comparative constitutional law roundtable this week at Academia Sinica in Taipei, hosted by Oran Doyle, featuring great papers by Berihun Gebeye Mariana VR andrea pin Jaclyn Neo and many others. A model of how productive (and fun) academic conferences can be.
