Insightful and important piece on the rise and fall of NGOs by @sarahbush.bsky.social and @jenniferhadden.bsky.social. Sobering analysis of the factors that have led to the waning power of civil society worldwide.

Checking in from parental leave to share my latest paper with @carnegiedcg.bsky.social! What's behind the contemporary anti-gender backlash? How does it manifest across different countries and regions? And why has it been difficult to mount an effective response? 🔽 🔽 🔽

Excited for this book’s release. I got an early look (blurbed it!) and taught from the chapter on transnational sports last month. The links between democracy, autocracy, human rights, and global sports (including NBA, LIV, Olympics) sparked great discussion in class.
