This is addressed to everyone, but especially Americans under the age of 30: Read dystopian novels. Read 1984, and Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451, and White Noise, and—fuck—even Hunger Games. So many of you just aren’t getting what’s been happening just because you don’t read.

The third article in Global Society 40(3) is "For a Better Future: How Parenthood Affects Attitudes toward War" by Shih-chan Dai (@ National Chengchi University) and Navida Chun-han Wang (@umich.edu). Click the link below and be sure to give it a read!

ABSTRACT How does parenthood affect individuals’ attitudes toward war? Existing literature on public support for war offers some explanations as to when the public is more likely to support the use of military force. Yet, it has largely overlooked an essential factor: parenthood. Building on rational choice and social identity theories, we argue that individuals who are parents are less likely to support war. Individuals with children face greater uncertainty and are more vulnerable to the damages that war could bring. In addition, the shift in identity as parents affects how individuals perceive security threats. We test our hypothesis using the World Value Survey Wave 6 (2010-2014). The results show that parenthood decreases the likelihood of expressing support for war, for both females and males, even after controlling for other demographic traits and country-level covariates such as exposure to militarised violence and gender inequality. Our findings contribute to the literature on security studies and public opinion and suggest a need to consider the impact of parenthood.

Wenn die Geisteswissenschaften abgeschafft worden sind, können wir in Kleingruppen bei mir zu Hause historisch-philologische Methode und Interpretationstheorie machen. Ich stelle schonmal Getränke kalt.

Everybody is talking about culture – and nobody agrees on what it means. If you want to think about why, you can check out my book published this week. “The Politics of Culture“ is about how three political movements used the concept of culture in France between the late 1960s and the early 1980s:
