There were no new SoTL publications from PS, ISP, and EPS this month.

I am really happy to share my above piece in Politics. It’s an article for a symposium, edited by ALPS’s Prof. Cathy Elliott, that is currently in the works with Politics. So, hopefully you will be seeing the other contributions to the symposium in upcoming issues of the SoTL Roundup! 

See you next month, folks.
