Can you recommend book-length organizational ethnographies?

TO NOTE: I am NOT looking for theoretical work on organizational ethnography (e.g. the Kostera and Harding 2021 book).

I'm looking for ethnographies of organizations/corporations.

TYVMIA.

Whoa! One of the best political science journals gets even better by fully embracing open access (free to the authors) — I hope other journals will do the same!

Question for academic twitter. Is there a way to create a nicer-looking citation map (or, download the geocoded citation data) for one's Geographical Citation Map?

Web of Science gives a map like this, but I don't quite like it.

My earlier post was Nepali version. Here is the same article - in English- that explores the linkage between disaster, droughts and migration in the #Nepal #Himalaya . Thanks Himal Khabarpatrika #BarbaraFoundation NDRRMA

Taking a break from writing to announce that I'll be a post-doctoral researcher at Perry World House this coming fall! I'm super excited to be a part of PWH and the larger research community at Penn. (And if you're going to APSA this fall - send me a message - I'll be in town!)

Loved writing this piece about understanding female voter turnout in India! It gave me the opportunity to discuss so many aspects of this phenomenon that I have learned over the years. Big thanks to Milan Vaishnav and Carnegie Endowment for this opportunity. ✨

My jmp is now online Comparative Political Studies! Based on extensive fieldwork in Myanmar, I argue that mundane interactions with the state matters for minority-state relations.

Today I successfully defended my doctoral work at Duke University. There are very few words to begin to describe how I feel, but grateful has to be at the top of the list. 🫶🏼

New visualization for a probability density function

The random variable V maps the sample space Ω to the real line (R). The probability distribution of V is described by a probability density function f_V(v).
