P.S. You’re Interesting is a series of conversations on political science research hosted by Jeffery A. Jenkins.
Formerly, “Our American Discourse,” we continue the series to pick up the tradition Anthony W. Orlando began. We hope to keep conversations … discourse alive. To keep thinking about the research we do in the academy, why it matters to us, and hopefully to you.
