Thanks so much to Matt for having me on the #ScienceOfPolitics podcast to talk about democracy in the American states. It was fun talking about my book "Dynamic Democracy" (w/ @devincaughey.bsky.social) & connecting our work with @steverogersinfo.bsky.social's amazing book on state legislatures.

More generally, it's amazing how much terrific work is happening right now on democracy in the states, including recent books from @dhopkins1776.bsky.social, @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social, @mattgrossmann.bsky.social, Sarah Anzia, @povertyscholar.bsky.social, @leahstokes.bsky.social, and many others.
