Joy Ann Williamson-Lott | 30 Jul 2018

This blog accompanies the Forum on Academic Freedom published in History of Education Quarterly. In the past decade or so, there has been an uptick in assaults on academic freedom across the globe.  Whether through watch lists, denial of visas to travel to professional conferences, firings, or detentions and jail sentences, professors and teachers are battling for the freedom to regulate their own professional lives against government (and even administrative) officials who invoke national security and patriotism to justify suppression and enforce a particular consensus on contentious issues.…


The Great Keyishian Case: lessons in academic freedom from the Cold War

Marjorie Heins | 27 Jul 2018

More bang for your buck: tax compliance in the United States and Italy

Journal of Public Policy | 25 Oct 2018

The dynamics of policy change in authoritarian countries

Journal of Public Policy | 24 Oct 2018

In democratic countries, actors inside and outside the state have various channels for expressing their concerns and influencing policy agendas. In contrast, in authoritarian countries, less inclusive institutions lead to different dynamics of policy change.…

Carissa L. Tudor and Deborah J. Yashar | 19 Sep 2018

Women are running for U.S. public office in record numbers, offering hopes of seriously tackling the gender gap in political representation.…


When less public participation may be better public participation

Journal of Public Policy | 8 Aug 2018

Currently, policymaking is torn between two demands. On the one hand, issues become increasingly complex, calling for the incorporation of expertise in the policymaking process and increasingly complex decision-making procedures.…

Matt Fisher | 5 Jun 2018
