Akhil Amar on birthright citizenship:
”Unless and until our Constitution is amended, our government is simply not allowed to punish innocent babies guaranteed full and equal citizenship by the Constitution itself.”

The case underscores how Trump-era opposition to diversity, equity and inclusion efforts has spread north to Canada. But more than a snow-covered battlefield in the culture war, the suit raises important questions about when public speech in a democratic society is political.
Someone should explain to the @nytimes.com that Vancouver does not share the same climate as Calgary or Ottawa.
Working on it! I'm just slow...
Looks fun!
@ttcalerts.bsky.social what’s going on with the 168?
Looks like Tuesday is t-shirt weather.

It's a course on homes and politics. The first half is on socialization, so I'm doing weeks on parents, siblings, neighborhoods, friends, cities, and regions. Your paper is in the friends week. It's first year undergrads, so half of them are in dorms now.
Strategic priorities include
Environment, resilience and the Arctic;
Food/water security;
Democratic and community resilience
Defence and dual-use technologies.

UofT has a small number it can nominate, but the Dean wants nominations from any department that can identify someone who fits. Internal deadline is SOON (Jan 14), so reach out if interested.
There is no legal justification, whatsoever, to use military force against a NATO ally like Greenland.
If any military member participates in this without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.
Postdoctoral positions: Our team at the University of Washington's Center for an Informed Public is accepting applications for up to two postdoc positions, starting in Fall 2026. Priority deadline is Jan 15. If you know someone who might be interested, let them know!
Also, I should mention that I'm assigning your sorting hat paper in a first year seminar this term. Lots of them are living in dorms, so it should be a fun thing to discuss.
Yep. If you argue for giving a subset of tenured faculty leave to regularly make arguments that they don’t believe in a public forum, you make the case that law schools don’t belong in universities.
@liorsheffer.bsky.social has a bunch of interesting empirical stuff on elites. The linked paper is a fun one, but there’s a lot more. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Bari Weiss doesn't want you to see this unless it includes "the other side" from an administration official
Fun paper. I do love it when people describe their research setting as "a large public university" and both authors work for.....the same large public university.
Someone with tenure
Second day in a row I saw a person with Browns paraphernalia at the gym. In Toronto! I asked the second guy if he was from Cleveland, but no, just a Shadeur fan. This world is weird.
Prepping for a new course next semester: what's the best writing on the politics of working from home vs commuting? No geographic restrictions, can be academic or popular
