Last month, staff members attended WVU day in Charleston to share some of our recent work regarding local government expenditures with state legislators, as well as to promote nonpartisan, evidence-based policymaking in our communities.

Have you published about about parties, interest groups, social movements, or other political organizations, from 2021 to the present? Make sure your press nominates it for the @APSA_POP Leon Epstein Outstanding Book Award! Copies must be in committee members' hands by Feb 28th!

I feel like I’ve been waiting my entire academic career for a conference years for #COPPR23. A rigorous, welcoming community of scholars focused on advances in policy theory and the substantive issues faced by society.

#COPPR23 was everything I imagined intellectual life could be: critical, curious, sincere, honest, and rigorous. I have never in my academic life experienced anything remotely like it. Much love to all that particpated! You are simply amazing people.

Very proud of this article with @herschelfthomas, McGee. A lot of literature asks if interest groups capture political parties. We propose that the opposite process can also play out, where parties capture interest groups and expand the scope of conflict. journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf…
