Female graduates in the UK fall behind men from the very start of their careers, even when they have taken the same courses, and are out-earned after studying more than four-fifths of university subjects (1/3) www.ft.com/content/cb0e...
I’m excited to share that my first book came out this summer! The book looks at how EU state aid cases become politicised (and de-politicised) and what this means for the EU’s legitimacy. At its core, the book shows how competition policy is never just technical, but also deeply political.

"What constitutional protections should be afforded to speech authored by artificial intelligence?", a new blog by Marin Roger Scordato, author of After the Realist Revolution (out now) #LawSky 💙📚 #jurisprudence
What constitutional protections should be afforded to speech authored by artificial intelligence?
Exposure to the current media culture in almost any sphere – news, entertainment, business, politics, or technology – involves near constant contact with reporting on, and often barely concealed promotion of, artificial intelligence (AI) as a new and rapidly emerging area of computer engineering...

Great piece especially in showing how the Trump administration is able to weaponize the budget against universities. One should ask if similar methods could be used in one's own jurisdiction. Spoiler for the Germans: probably yes.
Heres my analysis of what Trump is doing to US universities. He is attacking every source of higher ed funding and holding academic freedom hostage for ransom. verfassungsblog.de/trump-univer...
Le compte officiel de l'ambassade des Etats-Unis en France en vient désormais à nier l'importance des *faits* dans une démocratie. Et emprunte le phrasé habituel (« élites mondiales ») des complotistes de tous poils. Quelle incroyable déchéance sans fin pour un tel pays.
Here’s hoping university administrators are as clear eyed about protecting academic freedom and faculty governance as the signatories of this excellent letter.
Wow. A group of top scholars at Harvard just sent a letter to its president, Alan Garber, warning against surrendering to Trump. Signatories include Steven Levitsky, Dani Rodrik, Ryan Enos, Theda Skocpol, and Steven Walt. Someone forwarded it to me. Read it here:
The Brazilian Supreme Court is fearless in the face of sanctions -and will ensure that the trial of Bolsonaro stays on track. Trump is once again attempting to obstruct justice when it comes to holding former presidents accountable. www.reuters.com/world/americ...
Brazil's Justice Moraes ignores US sanctions, says he will continue doing his job
Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who is overseeing a criminal case against an ally of President Donald Trump, told a court session on Friday that he will continue to do his job and "ignore the sanctions" imposed by the United States that effectively block him from the country's wide-reaching financial system.
