Q&A: Experts discuss rise of profanity from politicians
In American politics, cursing and "four-letter words" are no longer confined to hot mics or hidden behind closed doors. Politicians and pundits are increasingly using so-called "bad words" in speeches, social media posts and campaign ads. Benjamin Bergen, professor of cognitive science, and Pamela Ban, associate professor of political science, both from UC San Diego's School of Social Sciences, examine why swearing among politicians is on the rise and what it reveals about persuasion,...

'This is actually taking a page out of the Communist Party playbook': New White House proposal could deny scientists funding based on their political opinions "It replaces expertise with political appointees, globally decouples the U.S. and completely guts our scientific ecosystem." The White House has proposed massive changes to the scientific process in the U.S. which, if passed, could make science funding dependent on the whims of political appointees.

Ethiopia: 'One of the most rapidly growing economies in Africa, but wealth distribution is terrible'
Annette Young is pleased to welcome Dr. Douglas Yates, Africa Specialist and Political Science Professor at the American Graduate School of International Relations and Diplomacy. Amid ongoing conflict, will Ethiopia's elections be "free and fair"? While acknowledging that electoral procedures may function in parts of the country, he argues that conflict, exclusion, inflation, and uneven development remain the defining realities shaping Ethiopia's political landscape.
Disentangling conviction and conformity: a Bayesian ideal point model of voting behaviour in online debates
arXiv:2606.03786v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Online debate platforms offer a unique window into the mechanisms driving opinion formation: they capture both explicit political preferences and the peer environment in which those preferences are expressed. In this work, I develop a Bayesian logistic regression model, inspired by ideal point models from political science, to disentangle two competing mechanisms of voting behaviour in online debates: conviction, driven by prior ideological...
