This is the same dynamic that led to all of the job market candidates in my PhD program in ~2015 studying the arab spring, right as the discipline pivoted to focusing hiring on other targets.

Half of the new assistant professor job postings in the social sciences are looking for someone who researches AI. Sending the message that, to even have a shot at landing a TT job, you have to have correctly predicted what will be hot 5-7 years from when you started grad school.

Doing this too - not sure I love it, but it does incentivize coming to class prepared, and discussion board postings/similar are clearly dead

@RobOldham24 and I make the case in the @ajc: proportional representation is the fix for gerrymandering and the distorted results single-member districts produce. Based on our nationwide project on electoral rules.

www.ajc.com Opinion: Switching to a proportional representation system for House is better for all voters The current congressional map for Georgia gives nine of 14 House seats to Republicans and five to Democrats, but Georgia is divided politically 50-50. The system must change.
